From a Friend Weekend: Saige's Room Tour!

Hope you all are having an amazing Saturday! Here's a photostory made by my friend Jaclynn, for From a Friend Weekend! Enjoy!

Hi everyone! My name is Saige and I have a surprise for you! A tour of our rearranged room! Are you ready? Let's go!

First on your left we have our 4 high bunk bed!! It holds 20 of us (I know, it's a lot of kids)! But the toddlers are smaller so they can fit more on each row.

This is where we keep our slippers- right in front of the fire place! We don't all have slippers but we're working on getting some ;)

This is my kitten, Merry who I brought home with me from the orphanage. Isn't he just so sweet!

Here is our table where we can do crafts, cook, or bake! I'd choose crafting out of all of them- I'm not too good in the kitchen!

And this is my personal favorite- my painting corner! Do you see my pretty painting? I think this is gonna be one of my favorites!

The top bunk is where the babies sleep. Aren't they precious?

Here's our laundry corner. Oops! I forgot to start the laundry!

I forgot to show you this pretty poster of some fairly new American Girl dolls! I would love to have one someday!

Yay! That's the end of our tour! I hope you enjoyed it! And I hope everyone has a wonderful rest of their week! Bye!

Thanks so much for sharing with us, Saige/Jaclynn! What a cool room!! :D

Adorable Doll Scarf & Hat Sets by Danielle!

Making crafts and handmade items for American Girl dolls is so much fun! I love creating my own and seeing other girls' awesome creations. My friend Danielle recently shared with me some of her crocheting!

She makes doll hat and scarfs sets and is currently selling them on her blog, American Girl #1 Fans, for $10 each. They are so adorable! I wanted to get to know Danielle and her hobby a little better with an interview!

Me: When did you first learn to crochet?

Danielle: My Grandma taught me how to crochet when I was 10.

Do you use patterns or make your own designs?

I make my own designs, but I plan to use patterns for more difficult things!

What American Girl dolls do you have?

I have 8 dolls! They are Elizabeth, a look-a-like named Emilia, Felicity, A look-a-like named Saran, Molly, Emily, My American Girl #38 Annabeth, and Ruthie!

What's your favorite thing to crochet?

My favorite thing to crochet are doll hats because it's more complicated then crocheting a doll scarf. I also like to add little flowers on them!

Thank you so much Danielle!! Be sure to check out more of her crocheting at her blog:

Do you crochet or knit for your doll? :)

Dakota's Sewing Project with Rosies Doll Patterns!

One of my favorite things to see is creativity! My friend Dakota sent me a guest post of her doll sewing project. I'm so excited for her to show you, here she is...

Hi Everyone! I'm Dakota! A few months ago, I won Liz's giveaway for a membership to Rosie's Doll Clothes Patterns. We finally found the time to make the first project, the sport shorts!

My mom and I did the project together. She did the sewing...

And I did the ironing! It was so nice to spend some time with my mom and do some crafting together! And when we were finished it was all worth it because...

It turned out great! It looked like something that would come out of a store!

I was so surprised and excited to see how it turned out! We have an old sewing machine (it was originally purchased by my great grandmother) so we were worried entering this project and wondered if we should just hand sew it, but when we were finished, we were so glad we didn't! It was so nice making something for my dolls, and I have so many more things to make!

I just had to share this picture of McKenna sporting her new shorts! McKenna, my mom, and I highly recommend Rosie's doll clothes patterns!

Wow, they turned out amazing, Dakota!! Thanks for sharing about it with us!
