Halloween special! Plus:My newest doll family member



Okay, I know I said how to MAKE candy was coming up, but a lot of this will be on fun finds. Plus, I added a new Liv doll to our collection. She is discontinued , so we were lucky to get her. Miss Katie, our new doll, will be our model for the fairy costume that can be re sized for any doll from a Lalaloopsy to a My Twin, this dress can be altered in so many ways! First up, the fun finds!
Above are the first finds. They are mini chocolate bars! I got them trick or treating , but I have seen them in bulk at snack kiosks. I got: Mr Good Bar, Hersheys dark, and Hersheys milk. I also got the dots trick or treating.
Next up, the costume! To make the easy fairy dress, you need:
Old lace tablecloth
Old bed sheet
Scissors
Safety pin
1. I start by measuring a piece of the sheet to fir around my doll. I hold it in place with the pin.
2. I cut one piece of the tablecloth the same size as the sheet. I wrap the lace around the sheet, and I add the lace to the safety pinned cloth.
3. I cut a strip of lace the same width of the other cloth. I wrap it around, and I tie it around my doll.
I added The fairy wings from My Froggy Stuff to complete the outfit.
 Presto, You have a costume!
Enjoy!

A huge Dollhouse

Hello!
I know I have not blogged in an eternity, but I have been super busy lately. I took this picture at the world-famous Rijks museum in Amsterdam. Although this is for a 12 inch or a mini doll, I found it fascinating. I do indeed have dolls other than 18 inch dolls. I have a collection of Kokeshi dolls, Japanese mini dolls, and Momiji dolls, which are a line with every kind of resin mini doll, from Pixie (I think that is her name), a cute Kokeshi doll holding a cupcake, To Ted, a sad monkey with tears down his face.
Anyway, this dollhouse was so fascinating! Although you cannot see, this house has a small kitchen, a loft, a parlor, a living room and much more! Oh, how I want to live inside there! I wonder how to make that....
Ooh, do you an armoire? I bet I could use a bookcase for the base!
And the furnishings! Well, wooden furniture sets can work!
And this even inspired us to branch out! Soon we will welcome katie, a Liv doll, to our family!
 Enjoy!

Ice cream for dolls!

Hey guys!
Our technical issues are over! Today I will be showing you to how to make a soft serve sundae for your doll. You will need:
Plastic salad dressing cup
Kleenex
Beads
Glaze
Glue
Oil pastel
Paper cup
Paintbrush

  1. I start by filling a plastic food sample cup to the top with Kleenex. I brush on a layer of glue.
  2. I then put on a pair of rubber gloves, and I coat the gloves with glue. I roll a sheet of Kleenex into a thin rope, and the glue helps the rope take form. I wind the rope around the middle of the cup, and then secure with more glue. Be sure to make sure that when the rope is almost done winding, it forms a peak.
  3. 3.To make sauce, I scribble oil pastel on the bottom of a paper cup. I pour some glaze (I use toys to grow on water proofing glaze.) Into the bottom of the cup. I mix with a paintbrush till the glaze has picked up the pastel color. You can choose which kind of sundae you wish to make. I made a sundae I call the Frostine (Left) using magenta (Strawberry) sauce and pink beads, And a Tropical Glitz sundae (Right) using blue,( Ocean blue)lime green(Kiwi) and yellow(Pineapple) sauces. I used blue seed beads for toppings.
I have so many ideas in the works! Some of them are:
A bedroom
A vintage coffee house
A Chinese Dumpling shop
An Airport
A classroom
Doll Halloween candy (This will be posted on Halloween night, as part of a Dolloween special post.)
Babysitting Items (Baby food, babysitters manual, cloth diapers, medication, reward stickers.)
Those are just some of the wonderful ideas in the works. Well, I have to go go the supplies for the bedroom, so I am Signing out! Click!
Enjoy!
