LOL out that box!

I can be a little crafty from time to time. Both cunning and beguiling. Artful and designing. ~Fuzz

So Lil Miss has this thing for LOL Dolls. Never heard of them? Well, let me tell you that they are the little girl craze! They come encased in a fizz bomb that seems to increase the screeches and yays as she stands there anticipating which tiny doll is inside.

Yep! That’s the surprise! You don’t know which doll you will uncover. (Hmm, somebody is getting paid for that clever marketing trick). Anyways…. She loves them and I love her, so when she started to complain about your dolls not having a house I had to fix that.

“Heeeyyyy girl!”

“Hey Sweet!”

“I can show you how to build a dollhouse out of a box, if you want?”

“Ok! Ok! They need a house.”

“Yes, they do. It will be fun. We can paint the outside and decorate with wall paper.”

“Ok. Or Sweet?”

“Yes?”

“You could just buy me a doll house from the store…..”

Well I’m not that kind of Sweet (grandma)! I’m the kind that believes in the promise of art and the hope of creativity! I believe in the courage of projects and the strength of individualism.

Here is Lil Miss and our doll house building materials!

Materials:

  1. A box. Big. Small. Two boxes or more. Your dream house should fit to your imagination!
  2. Scissors. You will use them to cut windows and doors. You can remove the box flaps if you want an open roof or open wall concept.
  3. Paper! We bought four sheets of designed scrapbook paper. Super cheap but makes great wall paper and flooring.
  4. Glue. Self explanatory. I used good ol’ Elmer’s glue, because peeling glue off your hands is fun.
  5. Paint & brushes/sponges. We used these to spice up the exterior.
  6. Stickers. Every house needs a little artwork. A few personal touches. We accomplished that with scrapbook stickers!
  7. A kid or a parent. Because let’s face it… Teamwork makes the dream work!!!

“Not so much!” This is exactly why we end up with glue on our hands..lol literally!!

Hope y’all like House #24!

I told Lil Miss’ momma that if she plays with her homemade house, I’d buy her one with furniture and all. I don’t want to waste money on another toy that will get neglected.

Well, she’s uses it a lot. Even makes sure her LOL’S sleep in there at night. Now that’s an attitude of gratitude! Looks like I better get to shopping!!

Win-Win Winter Crafts

I won 6 beautiful skeins of Lion Brand Fun Yarn! The most vibrant and fun-inspiring colors! See look πŸ‘‡πŸ½

Shucky ducky! Ain’t I lucky! I won a free prize!

I never play; henceforth, I never win. This time I decided to not be so shy and put my best bid in. And… It worked!

A wonderful craft blogger that I follow, Hannah’s Loop hosted her 100 Followers Giveaway Celebration in November. (If you do ANY kind of crafting, she is an artist to follow!) All I could think about were all the things me and Lil Miss could do with these bright colors and soft textures.

WINNING!! We are going to make blankets for her babydolls, Molly, Polly, Olly, and Golly!

Me, Lil Miss, Molly & Polly (Baby Alive Twins)I think I look tired in this picture. I probably was. I think this was when her mom was in labor with King Chubb. I’m always willing to take a picture with my great grand-doll children.πŸ™‹πŸ½β€β™€οΈ

Anywho…Molly and Polly are her Baby Alive Baby Go Bye Bye twins. I can’t tell them apart so I don’t know which is which πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™€οΈ. I think they could also use a hat or two. Their hair is always out of control. I tell Lil Miss that just because her kids have natural hair doesn’t mean she can’t take a wet brush to it.

WIN-WIN!!! Over break, we did finish her first quilting project! Yay us!!! Whoop whoop!

She received a Trolls Easy Make Your Own Fleece Quiltkit from her Nanny (aka Godmother). It was an easy age-appropriate introduction to making knot quilts. There were 20 precut fleece squares included. The material is 100% polyester. Enough come in the kit to make several small quilts or one large 59″ x 39″ quilted throw.

Look at those colors!!

We laid out our material and organized the block pattern of her choice. (After all, it’s her blanket)Tying the knot was a little difficult for her small hands. The age rating on the kit is 6+ and she is 6.5 years old. She was able to do the first part of the tie and then I would go behind her and complete the second loop over and pull through to achieve the knot! Team work makes the DreamWorks!!

Lil Miss selected and smoothed on her embellishments. (I would have picked a few of the small patches, but heeeyyyy it’s not my blankie or my business to interfere with her creative expression). The appliques came in a variety of sizes and shapes. They have adhesive on the back and stick firmly within seconds. I do not think they will be washer friendly, but if she really wants it to last we can quick stitch them down. In the end, the overall quality is good enough for what is needed for!

She was so excited about her finished product! It was an 1.5 hours well spent time! The new skill and memory will last FOREVER!!!
