Wearing of the green!

These photos were taken 5 years ago, in 2013. This was before the great flood on my window seat, when the Bleuette's home was still intact. I really enjoyed sewing for them, and dressing them up. I made the dress which Zoe is wearing (2nd from left) and the one on the right.

 I made the little banner and the paper hat too.

 Aren't they cute?

I always made sure I wore green in high school, or my friend Wendy would pinch me hard! I'm glad that I've stepped foot in Ireland, even if it was for only one night.

Mini doll Valentine scene...and other nice things.

I'm trying to get my mini dolls more involved with my life. Why have dolls if you don't play with them once in a while?

I'm planning to switch out a scene for each holiday for them in 2018.

Here is my little scene for Valentine's Day. I created the banner from foam stickers and ribbon.

I took a piece of foam board and covered it with fabric.

I measured it to fit the back of the cubby on my computer desk. I think it turned out well. It was very easy to do!

The furniture is from Our Generation and is very cute. 

It came with a table, 2 chairs, and the cutlery and dishes.

I added the pillows and the Valentine cake.

This is a Valentine design I created for a few cards I made to send out to doll friends. I love to make cards.

I participated in a lovely Valentine swap online, and this is what my new friend sent to me, including cute items for my dolls. I just love it!

It's such fun to meet new friends online, and send nice things to each other.
