Doll Jeans

Tomorrow on the calendar is take pictures. Take the time to just go around with your camera and take pictures. You might be surprised at what you get!
But today I'd thought that I'd show you the doll jeans that are finally finished! I did manage to get both pairs out of the shorts, and was pretty happy with the results.

 

What do you think?

 

I have been wanting to make jeans for my dolls for a long time, and now that I have them, I know that I'll be using them a lot.

 

They're perfect for the girl on the go...

 

or just hanging out for an afternoon.



The jeans have elastic in the top (which also came from the shorts!), so I didn't have to use any buttons or snaps. Although this made it easier, one day I would like to try making a 'real' pair of jeans, with snaps and pockets and all that. :)

 

We'll have lots of fun with these jeans!

Can you guess which ebook is coming out next?

Summer Photoshoot

It's finally time for the summer photoshoot! Although the calendar says to run through the sprinkler (which you still should! It's a perfect way to cool off in all of this heat.), today we're showing off the girls' new dresses. :) After planning, making patterns, and sewing, it was finally time to put them on. They turned out pretty nicely, if I do say so myself. :) But they did come out a bit long, although that was solved by tucking under the hem. We went up to our grandparents' house and I decided to take the pictures there. It was a beautiful day for it, if not a bit windy!

Marissa's hair was braided at the top into two small braids. Then I pulled them back and tied them in a loose double knot. The result: a fairy princess crown!

For Robin I braided her hair into two braids, and tied them each with a bit of blue yarn. It would be fun to try this style with different strings, like ribbon, strips of fabric, or even ric-rac! 

 

 After a long day, chillin' in a hammock is a perfect thing to do. :)
What about you? What do you like to do in the summer? Whatever it is, we hope you have fun and stay cool! 

Happy Fourth!

 

Have a beautiful Fourth of July!!
