A Pirate's Life For Me Reversible Pillow

Hello, doll friends!

To go along with the blanket I showed you in the last entry, Mama also made a reversible pillow.

The pillow is knitted, and the border around it is crocheted.

Here it is:

One side has the white skull on it....

....and the other side has a red skull.

This new brother of ours will sleep very comfy and cozy, that's for sure! 😂

I plan to keep my patterns free for everyone to use, but please make sure to link back to this page for credit. Thank you! 😊

A Pirate's Life For Me Blanket

Hello, doll friends!

Recently, Mama had some amazing news for us: we're getting a brother! We're not exactly sure yet when he will arrive, but we're now slowly getting ready for him, and that includes clothes for him. It's never a problem when we get a new sister because we have tons of clothes for us girls to share, but with a boy it's a totally different story!

Mama said he likes pirates, and with that in mind she made some pirate-themed things for him, which I will show you over the next few entries.

The first one is a blanket, and let me tell you, we're all so jealous of this blanket and want to keep it for ourselves, haha! 😂

Take a look:

Josefina was the lucky one who got to model all of the pirate-themed things!

Isn't that cool? Such a neat blanket!

Brick Wall Doll Photography Backdrop

Hello, everyone!

Unfortunately we don't have a lot of different backgrounds we can use for photography purposes, for example for fashion shoots or other scenes, so Mama came up with the idea that she could make some for us.

She got to work right away, and the result is this beautiful crochet brick wall that we can now use anytime we want.

This will not be the only one Mama will make, and she's thinking about crafting some with other mediums as well.

* You can find the link to the pattern and pdf file at the end of this entry *

Let's take a look:

This is what the backdrop looks like. The top corners are folded in because it was hanging over the back of a chair

And this is what it looks like in action; used as a backdrop. Hiedra was the one who got to model it for us

The great thing about this backdrop is that it can also be used as a small blanket, for example, as a lap afghan or pet blanket. The measurements are 34 inches wide by 54 1/2 inches long.

Knitted & Crochet Flamenco Dress

Hello, doll friends!

I'm back today with another of Mama's creations. We dolly girls think that she outdid herself with this one because she made us a Flamenco dress! We absolutely love it! Mama said it looks a lot harder to make than it actually is, and that anyone who can can knit and crochet can make this dress without any problems.

Let's see our beautiful sister Luciana modeling it for us:

This is what it looks like from the front....

....as well as from the back. It simply closes with two buttons

And in the following pictures we will see Luciana showing a few dance poses:

Bumble Bee Dress

Hello, everyone!

Today I would like to show you another outfit Mama crocheted for us. Just in time for Halloween we have a beautiful costume 😊

This cute outfit is called the Bumble Bee Dress, and was made from a pattern by Adoring Doll Clothes. You can find the instructions HERE.

*** Please note: This pattern is available for purchase only, but you still need to link back to the creator if you use it! ***

The set consists of a a dress, a pair of legwarmers, and a hat. The entire outfit is crochet.

I decided to wear it for Halloween 2020, and here you can see me modeling it together with my jack-o-lantern candy bucket, as well as with several pumpkins we got for decoration.

Here is another view of it.

Mama is a member of the Adoring Doll Clothes group on Facebook, and the owner, Pamela, did a Halloween 2020 costume contest, in which the members could participate by crocheting and having their dolls wear one of the many beautiful outfits Pamela created for her website.

Mama decided to make the bumble bee dress, and submitted my picture above, where I'm holding the candy bucket.

Guess what?

We won!!! 😍

Pamela made a video with all of the entries and winner, and Mama linked it on her Facebook. If you want to take a look, Mama's post with the video is right HERE.

And to top it all off, we were sent some absolutely amazing prizes for winning! Let me show you:

We received this totally adorable Halloween bag, which was full of all kinds of goodies; everything Halloween themed.

Inside the bag was a card, three skeins of yarn, two cups, stickies, two pairs of socks (ankle length and knee length), two kitchen towels, two notepads, two pens, a door hanger, a wall decoration, an infinity scarf, a little ghost figure, candy corn, lollipops, and candy bracelets.

So many awesome things! We all were simply blown away by Pamela's generosity!

So with this in mind, maybe you would like to make this Bumble Bee Dress as well, and if you do, I wish you lots of fun! Also, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask, and please don't forget to link back to Adoring Doll Clothes if you crochet the set. 😉

Doll-Sized Pet Bed

Hello again, doll friends!

Mama was busy again and made a doggie bed for Teddy and Stella 😀 At first she wanted to make one for each dog, but once we saw the size of it, we decided that one bed would be plenty for both of them, especially since they love to sleep all cuddled up anyway 😊

Please note that the pet bed was made from a pattern Mama found online, and I will post the link for it, so you can give proper credit if you decide to make one for your doggies or kitties, too.

This pet bed was made from a pattern by ABC Knitting Patterns, and you can find the instructions HERE.

*** Please note: This is a free pattern, so please link back to the creator if you use it! ***

This is the basket.

And here we have the cushion.

Teddy and Stella are curious. 

Teddy: "Hmmm....let's sniff it real good first, and then we'll try to find out what it is."

Stella: "It's a bed! Hurry Teddy! Come up here and check this out!"

It doesn't take long until they're both comfortable and ready for a doggie nap.

Have fun, and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask, and please don't forget to link back to ABC Knitting Patterns if you make the bed. 😉
