Moo Moo

You can make clothes for your stuffed animals using socks.  I dressed my stuffed cows named MooMoo with baby socks from the dollar section at Target.

Steampunk Hats

Janet bought Steampunk hat kits from a lady named Sissy who does great workshops for the Modern Doll Collector's Convention (see the boots she made at Sissy's workshop last year at http://janetkairidolls.blogspot.com/2012/03/ugg-boots.html).  These kits were easy and lots of fun, and Sissy put all kinds of fun trims in to decorate your hat with.  We're pretty pleased with our hats, and will probably make more in the future.

Bath Time!

Trina, Honey and Bee all jumped in the tub together!  (Kairi's fish tank is on the top shelf in the background).

Doll Playground

I built a doll playground for my dolls using the My Froggy Stuff video (http://www.youtube.com/user/MyFroggyStuff?feature=g-all-u).  I think it is super fun, and would recommend it as a fun craft!

New pet!

This weekend we tried a great idea I found on Pinterest for a doll-sized aquarium!  You use a paperclip holder as the tank, small rocks/sand, a small plastic plant to decorate and a small fish charm as the tank inhabitant!  I bought Quick-Water (it makes the fake water used with silk plants) from Hobby Lobby to make my tank look full of water (without worrying about real water spilling) but Kairi didn't use that, so she can move her fish around and play with it.  The instructions are at http://miniaturemaker.blogspot.jp/2009/04/dollhouse-aquarium_01.html and even include directions to add a light to the top (which we opted out of).  The top of my paperclip holder was pretty tall, and I didn't like the look, so I took it off, and finished the edge with some good-old duck tape.

Below are a few pictures of my dolls investigating their new pet (we'll post pictures of Kairi's in the next post).  Kaya is really enthralled by the fish!

This is Strawberina drawing on her new clipboard, made by Kairi.  She also has a pencil made out of a toothpick.  She is having much fun!

Doll Makeup

This is my doll makeup.  I got it from a video on My Froggy Stuff (http://www.youtube.com/user/MyFroggyStuff).  I made nail polish, lipstick, eye shadow, cotton balls, perfume and mascara.
