Pompom Ears Beanie

Hello again, everyone!

Mama has really been busy with knitting lately. Recently she made us a beautiful coat as well as a matching beret, and once these were done, she decided to add a fun little pompom ears beanie. She made up her own pattern for it.

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

First, here are some pictures:



Here is a closeup of the beanie


And here is the beanie worn together with the coat

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! 😊

And here is a picture together with the coat. You can wear the beret several different ways. It even looks great pushed back and used as a slouchy cap.

This is the front of the coat. You can see how the colors change from lighter to darker or vise versa.



And here is a view of the back. Mama did not plan to make the back in the darker shade or the front in the lighter shades. This was pure fate!

Happy Halloween 2020!

Hello everyone!

Here are our 2020 Halloween pictures, which we would love to share with you!




In the pictures below we are goofing around in front of the house in our costumes, and with real pumpkins!













Sister love! 💖


We would like to wish everyone a happy and safe Halloween!


Much love,

❤ Luciana  and ❤ Maria 

5-piece Neon Skeleton Costume

This adorable costume was sold by Amazon (search for seller American Fashion World).

The set consists of:

~ 1 top

~ 1 pair of leggings

~ 2 arm sleeves

~ 1 tutu


The top is black with short, puffy sleeves, and an elastic inside the sleeve hem to keep it laying tight onto the upper arm. The neckline is square, and the front of the neckline has a small black lace overlay. The front of the top features the upper body of a skeleton printed in bright yellow, neon pink, light pink, and neon blue. The top fastens in the back with velcro.

The leggings are black, ankle length, and have an elastic waist. Each leg features two printed skeleton leg bones and a knee joint. On the right leg the colors are bright yellow, neon blue, and neon pink. On the left leg they are neon pink, bright yellow, and neon blue.

The arm sleeves slip onto each arm and reach from the wrist to above the elbow. The sleeves are black, and each one features a printed skeleton arm bone as well as four parallel wrist bones; two per row. The colors for these are bright yellow, neon pink, and neon blue. It's up to the wearer which sleeve to place on which arm.

The tutu has an elastic waist and ends at the knees. It is made out of tulle panels in the colors black, purple, neon blue, bright yellow, and neon pink.



I decided to wear this costume 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.



In this picture I'm showing you the top, the leggings, as well as the arm sleeves. The costume looks fabulous worn without the tutu as well.

Please note, the pink headband did not come with the costume. I will show you where it came from very soon in another entry, and then add it here accordingly.

In these pictures I'm also wearing the black Mary Janes as well as the pink glittery flats from THIS entry.

I'm very happy to add this awesome costume to my closet 😊

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. 😉
