FAIRY & MONKEY WINGS

My daughter wanted fairy wings for this years visit to the Ren Fest. They have a26" wing span. Made of felt and wire.
 
Decided she needed a head piece to match.
 
I couldn't just put these away in a closet somewhere. So I attached them to a plaque with velcro. She can take the wings off and wear them again. Flower head piece hangs on a hook I attached to plaque.
 
Monkey wings hang in our office.

HALLOWEEN 2014

Dorothy and a Flying Monkey!
 
Pretty simple straight forward pattern. No altering involved.
 
 
 
I adjusted the size of the ear. Pattern was too big.
Made up the hat, wings, and jacket.
 

AMERICAN BOY DOLL?


That's the question my oldest daughter keeps asking. I told her they just don't. Her response was, "then I'll just ask Santa because he makes all the toys anyway". Ugh!
So I decided to attempt to make a doll look like a boy. I've seen people on line take AG dolls and turn them into boys. I am unwilling to spend $100 to rework a doll. So I purchased the Madame Alexander doll that's at Costco right now. $19.00.
This is what she looked like out of the box. Pretty cute and the hair was not to bad. But it had to go. Bonus outfit for one of Violet's dolls.
 
Close up before I shaved her head and repainted her face.
New eyebrows, mouth and freckles. Also cut the eyelashes shorter.
 
AG quality wig. Very Bieber-ish:)
 
And of course he needed a boy outfit. I was boxing up some old baby boy clothes and decided I could recycle these into doll clothes. Pants and shirt were once his. I made the wool coat and scarf.
 
Made another shirt too. This is from a onsie.

18" DOLL TENT AND SLEEPING BAGS


Hot pink with orange polka dots.
It stands 24"and is 24" long and wide.
I put in a window with some left over clear vinyl I had from some other project.
 
Tent opens at both ends for easy access.
Two doll sleeping bags fit perfectly inside.
 
All made of PVC pipes. This allows it to easily come apart and fit into a bag.
