New Crochet Accessories

7/22/2012

Recently my mom and I went to a crochet class at JoAnn Fabrics and Crafts. My mom has made a few things for my dolls, and she helped me make my single crochet block into a doll accessory. I am thinking about making some accessories for a Give Away by crocheting, please let me know if you like this idea. :0)

Here are photos of my dolls' new accessories.

Jess and Kanani modeling a headband, cape, and new purse.

Kanani's bag is made out of a cotton yarn. You can also use this material for pot-holders. This isn't like the acrylic material, and it won't melt when you place hot things onto it.

The back of Jess' new headband. The bottom is like a drawstring.

Rachel's new bag for the back of her wheelchair. The material is like a ribbon-yarn.

Rachel's shrawl. This is the accessory that I made. My mom just finished it off. I skipped a stitch at the end of each row, and it didn't have straight edges... it looks great on Rachel though.

I hope I can make some things for a future Give Away. Please let me know if you think this sounds like a good idea.

I took these photos earlier today, but forgot I hadn't posted them until now!! So sorry for the long wait!

Recently Marisol, Rachel, Jess, and Jade-Lynne made some new outfits. Marisol just bought some new shoes. :0) They decided to put on a Fashion Show and took some pictures! Here are some photos.

Jess, Marisol, Rachel and Jade-Lynne

Rachel's home made skirt.

I just LOVE those shoes from Home Sew for $7.95 (on the first page).

Jess' new outfit

Jess' face says it all!

Jade-Lynne's dress and purse (there is a hat but it has a very big brim) from Serendipity Doll Company. We bought it on eBay though.

I should be able to post some more photos this week! I have been slowly changing my dolls into summer outfits (I know by the time it's done it'll be winter... haha!). Anyway, look for more photos coming out for the next month. :0)

Oh- I have also been reading some of the new American Girl Mysteries... so look for some reviews soon too!

Have a great week!

4th of July

Happy 4th of July! I recently got the new outfits American Girl has for Julie and Ivy. I would like to thank those of you who signed the Outifts for Ivy petition a few years ago... it has finally gotten us somewhere!

Here are a few pictures of them in their new outfits.

Julie and Ivy in their new outfits.

Julie's new outfit. The necklace is really hard to get on, and I suggest having a parent help you. The shirt does not have velcro, and goes on over her head.

Ivy's new outfit. Her purse is from her "meet" outfit. I really like how the flip-flops look, and her bandana is adorable.

Overall, if you like Julie and Ivy, I would say you have to get these outfits. I think it is really important to encourage American Girl to come out with more outfits, so be sure to write to them and tell them how much you liked Ivy's outfit. :0)

My dolls have made themselves some new outfits... I will post photos this weekend.

I hope you have a great 4th of July!!

Where did June go?

I honestly can't believe that it is July! Where did the month of June go? Honestly, I have been putting off posting because Weebly is getting harder to use (I think anyway). I will be posting tomorrow (July 4) though. :0) I'm excited to get back in the loop, and I have a bunch of new ideas that hopefully will be coming live soon.

My post tomorrow will have some new outfits, and another new post will be coming out this weekend!

I posted a comment on your blog Georgia, and I replied to Erica's comment on my last post. :0) Thanks for being so loyal, and continue to bring in the comments. I love reading them!

I will be posting tomorrow. :-)
