I love this owl material that I found at Hobby Lobby. I made matching outfits for a little girl and her American Girl doll. 



I bought the pink t-shirt and made the doll tank top using the free pattern from pixiefaire.com. I used heat bond to attach the owls to the shirts.

Doll Diapers

I found these adorable diapers on Pinterest and decided to make some for my granddaughter's Bitty Baby. They are quick and easy using felt squares. This is the site happytogethercreates.com

18 inch Doll Shoulder Bags & T-Shirts

Thirty-one bag
I haven't been very good about getting stuff posted. I'm a work in progress! Here is a shoulder bag I made for American Girl dolls using a pattern that I got for free from pixiefaire.com under tips/tutorials. I used Thirty-one Gifts swatches so I had to adjust the pattern a little but it turned out adorable! Every girl needs a Thirty-one bag! I also used the free t-shirt pattern to make this shirt but I used FOE for the neck and arms... worked out super cute. It was my first attempt sewing with knits... so it's not so neat... but I'm getting better. I watched a video on pinterest that was very helpful. The white tank sewed up nicer. The green shoulder bag is full size from the pattern.

The doll house is a work in progress. I'm always trying to find new items and ideas to improve it. Here are some new pictures...
The Sunflower Bunch had fun playing with the house!

Sunflower Bunch Dance, Dance, Dance Slumber Party

This month the theme for the slumber party was Dance, Dance, Dance! I made leotards for the dolls and the girls made tutus and dance studios. We made pizza, played Dance Dance Revolution, watched Barbie Nutcracker, went to the dollar store and A&W and finished off the weekend by going to see the local high school rendition of Sound of Music! It was a dance filled weekend!
Homemade pizza!

Doll House living room

I added some new things to the living room... I think it is now complete.

Doll Dance Studio

The Sunflower Bunch is meeting again for another slumber party. Our theme this time is going to be Dance, Dance, Dance. We are going to make a dance studio as our fun craft along with tutus and some other things. This is my sample. I'm not sure if the bars are going to stay on, I may need to wire them. I used 2 paper box lids and cut off the folded edges. I used clear packaging tape to hold them together. I used scrapbook paper, mirrored cardstock, beads, dowels, tulle, and pictures I printed from the web. I got some of my ideas from lab-den on youtube.
I used a glue stick to put on the scrapbook paper.

I stood the doll in front and placed the mirrored cardstock at her arm length.

I used Alene's craft glue to attach the beads....

and then the dowels.

I used pictures I printed from the internet and glued them in place.

I added two shades of tulle to the top by poking small holes and using pipe cleaners.

Standing the wall on my wood floor makes it look more like a studio.
