Your sweet comments on my last post made my day. Thank you so much! Because you asked I will be making the pattern to sell in my etsy shop:) Hopefully I will have it ready to sell in the near future.
I will be back soon to answer your questions and emails.
Today is my daughter's 15th birthday! We have all kinds of fun things planned, including breakfast in bed! These pictures were taken four years ago on her 11th birthday. Where does the time go?!
Lily loves playing with her little dolls and carrying case. I made them for her birthday last year. They are especially nice for keeping her quiet during church! I think it is my favorite thing I have made so far:)
We were singing and she said, "can you do it louder that way Grandad and Grandmom can hear it in Florida!"

Woke up to the sun shining through the mini blinds.
Cleaned the house after dropping the girls off at school.
Lily helped me with the never ending laundry. My poor washer and dryer have been running nonstop the last few days!
Helped Lily make a card for one of her little friends.
Had yogurt and berries for lunch.
Listened to some pretty tunes and worked on pictures during Lily's nap.
Now it is time to make supper.
I hope you are having a beautiful day! xox

Ever since she was itty bitty Kayla has been dragging sheets and blankets out of the linen closet to make tents. I will be sad when she outgrows it. I absolutely love her imagination!

Lily washing her dishes.
She is always anxious to help me cook.
I walked by my husband's office and saw this sweet sight. Sigh...she melts my heart.
crazy hair day at school :)
Happy Easter to you, my friends!

It was a beautiful weekend. I spent it with my girlies. We sewed and watched movies and ate too many cupcakes:)
I got to see a picture of my little girl for the first time three years ago today! It was love at first sight! I cried so many happy tears that day.
The picture she is holding is the first picture I ever saw of her cute face.

I sent Lily this fabric book while she was in Korea. I added a picture of each one of us, hoping she would play with it and get used to seeing our faces while we were waiting for our travel call.
Thank you so much for the sweet comments on my last post! I answered all the questions in the comment section.
I hope you are having a lovely week!

Hello friends:)
Here is a tutorial I put together for these little dolls. I made mine for a party, but I think they would look cute hanging in a little girl's room too. I hope you enjoy making them as much as I did.
Let me know if you have any questions, I'd be happy to help!

DIRECTIONS:
1. Cut 2 of each pattern piece except pigtails and bangs.
2. Hand stitch face.
3. Sew head front to head back.
4. Sew the pigtails to the back of doll’s head.
5. Sew on the bangs.
6. Sew arms and legs together.
7. If you are using cotton fabric for the dress, make sure you use thick interfacing or batting; otherwise the doll won’t be able to stand up.
8. Sew dress front to dress back making sure you sew the head, arms, and legs inside as you go around.
You should be able to pull this pattern off my blog and enlarge it to the size you want your dolls to be. The ones I made are six inches tall. I made them out of scraps of felt, wool, fabric, dmc floss, and ribbon.
