How to Add Yarn Doll Hair

Have you ever learned how to add long yarn hair to a doll? There are several ways to add doll hair, and before making these mini dolls, I'd tried many of them. But certainly not all. I wanted to find the best method for a miniature doll, so I began my search. The long yarn hair had to be secure to the head, so it could hold up to hours of pretend play. I dreamed of having a full enough head ... View Post

How to Make a Christmas Tree Elf House

As soon as I decided to make a family of Christmas elves, I started imagining where they would live and what their house would look like. Because every doll needs a little house full of tiny furniture and tiny things. (well, at least to me they do!) I can't even tell you how excited I was to find this Christmas Tree Shelf. It was as if it was just waiting to be made into a magical Christmas elf ... View Post

We've been adding a lot more 'kid traditions' into our holiday routine since ... View Post

My health has been especially bad for almost two years now. Two YEARS. The stress of that initial lockdown back in 2020 is what set me back. I tried to care for our (then) 1.5 year old while the daycares ... View Post

Introducing Our Mini Animal Family Sewing Patterns

I'm so excited to finially introduce these Mini Animal Family sewing patterns! Before I publish a pattern, I always send it out to my pattern testers so they can catch all of my mistakes. I finished these patterns at the end of February. My testers were working on them the week the world went on lock down in March. It is now December and I am just now publishing them. I feel like that explains ... View Post
