Shhhhhh... It's a Surprise!

My daughter's birthday is coming up and I thought that I would make her an outfit for her doll. She always loves all of the things that I make for my Etsy shop and wishes that she could have one just like it. Well this time I decided that I would give her the flannel pj and robe outfit. She already knows about one of her presents. It's a big one. She's going to get the girl of the year doll Saige. But she doesn't know about this. She probably thinks that it will be for sale on my Etsy site. I think that she will just love this and it will be a wonderful surprise!

Cupcake Apron, Chef's hat, and Oven mitt

Here is the latest outfit that will be available on my Etsy Shop shop soon. Now your American Girl doll or other 18 inch doll can have her own bakery or sweet shop with this cute 3 piece outfit. The outfit includes an apron that has a cute little cupcake print on it, a chef's hat and an oven mitt.

 

Doll Play

I went to our Walmart here in town today and I found some great things for my daughter's American Girl doll. I also found a few things at the Dollar Tree. So when I got home, we decided to have some fun with her dolls.

Here is Madyson taking Jenny's order. Notice the cute vase and flowers that I got at Walmart?

 



Jenny decided that she wanted pizza. That's an really big pizza! Are you sure you can eat all that?

Now it is Madyson's turn to order. Hmmm.. What will she get?

I think that she's in the mood for a big juicy cheeseburger!

Now that they are done eating, the girls take a break to get ready for school next year.
I found these cute little mini composition books at the Dollar Tree. They were in a pack of 3. And also this pencil holder that doubles as a waistbasket.

Jenny came over to tell  her that we will be having a visitor coming soon. And to welcome her, Jenny picked up this cute little portfolio for Saige at the Dollar Tree! It is actually a gift card holder but I thought that it would be perfect to hold Saige's paintings.
 

DIY Table

I'll be glad when this place gets some proper seating!

Today I decided to make Emily a table for her AG dolls. We've been working on making her a restaurant and she needed a table. I took an old box and I cut the ends off. Then cut the sides in half for the legs. I added some extra cardboard underneath and then I taped it to the legs. I then took some Contact paper that I had around and I covered it. The next thing that I'm going to make for her are some seats.

 

Madyson says I'm waiting for my food! Where is it?



 

I'm still waiting for my food!



Texas Rangers Applique

I made something today that I was not quite sure that it would work but I wanted to try it anyway. I wanted to put an applique of the Texas Rangers on a baseball t-shirt for an American Girl doll. I got the pattern from Libertyjanepatterns.com . So I found an image of the Texas Rangers' letter T and I drew it free handed. I used graphing paper so that I would get the sizing right for the shirt. Then I took some Heat n Bond and I bonded it to the wrong side of a piece of blue floral material. That is the material that I used to make the cowgirl dress that I have on sale at Etsy . Then once the fabric was bonded real good to the material, I cut the T pattern out and peeled off the paper backing. Now I have an iron on applique! I took the applique and I ironed it onto my t-shirt front piece. After I did that, I used some red puffy paint and I outlined it. Now all I have to do is to let it dry. I will start making the t-shirt tomorrow so that I will be sure that it is dry. The sleeves and neck band of the shirt will be red and the t-shirt part will be white with the applique in the middle.

Play Sets

Today I made a bedroom playset for my daughter Emily. I got the idea from My Froggy Stuff . We don't really have enough room or enough money for that matter to get an elaborate doll house or doll room for her American Girl dolls and 18 inch dolls. So I thought that this would be the perfect solution for us. It's practical and they look really cute too. You should check out My Froggy Stuff's blog and also like her on Facebook. The bedroom playset is not quite finished yet. I'm wanting to add maybe a picture and some bedroom furniture. The next playset that I make will be a cafe.

 

 

Sorry it's Been So Long

I have not been very consistent in my blogging and for that I am sorry. I just get busy with everyday stuff and I forget to post on here. Also I don't always know what to write about so I just don't. I have made several cute outfits since I posted the pictures of the ballet outfit. And so far I have sold 4 of my outfits on Etsy. I am going to do a craft show in December so I am going to be getting ready for that this summer and into the fall. My latest outfit is a dress from the Salina dress pattern from Liberty Jane.
