#dolly project

So each of these dolls I painted a chest for their clothes to go into. This little girl loves chickens and really really wants chickens that are home and so of course I had to put chickens on her chest. There's even a fox hiding under the coop and on the back is a is a chopping block with an ax. I'm really happy with how this turned out and it fit everything that I made for her doll, plus a little bit of extra room this way in future. Christmases I can send her some more clothes and accessories as Christmas presents

Hay, so Its getting close to Yuletide And this year for my nieces I'm making advent calendar

Becouse I'm a over achiever like that.

Also my eldest nibling has kinda hit the "dolls and stuff for my doll is kinda mid" part of adolescence. Never fear. I have a plan, turns out the eldest who is getting into anime and stuff. I'm going to do this

And for the little nibling she gets doll stuff!!!

Now I made a set of the doll stuff for elder sibling but I'm going to hold in to it for now. Mum knows I made it and can ask for it whenever to finish the set so both girls match

So far I've made

Night gowns

And outfits consisting of t-shirts and jumpers with vintage trims

More to come

One final check before I send the package off and the box. Yes I I recycled a Ritz cracker box to mail this because of course I did. The box holds well and held well during shipping. One thing about this present is that it's going to one of my best friends and because of who she is and the kind of presence that she's bought my children over the years, I'm a little mean. Yes, there's as many wormies and bits of paper as possible and sometimes I will use glittery paper as well just because I know the girls will love it and she will hate the cleanup. Although I think she's forwarded me as I don't think she lets the kids open up the big box anymore and kind of opens it up into the smaller packages now. From what I've heard though, the little one was super excited about getting her big doll this year and exclaimed something along the lines of " I finally get mine sweet" which given she's grown up seeing her sister's doll and being allowed to play with her with her sister's doll. It's nice that she has her own that they can play with them together.
