A little girl doll...



My son wanted a little girl doll for the Ponderosa. Still a little heavyhanded with the paint. But I like how she turned out.  She is sitting with a basket I made using this tutorial at Bricolages & Compagnie.


I'm taking the kids to see their grandma for a few days.  I am trying to think of what mini-making items I can bring along.  I might try my hand at some needepoint using these books.  I should be able to bring everything I need if I keep it simple!

  1. Wow, Heather, did you make that doll?? Good job!
    Thank you for following my blog , Heather. I hope we can exchange ideas and feedback on each other's blogs.

    I was looking at the book on Miniature Iron On. It is being sold at a good price at Amazon. Will you recommend it, Heather? Thanks! :)

  7. Hi heather! Glad you like the shabby chic house. I'm new to dollhouses too! I only started 4 month ago. I'm into architectural models. But so many of my clients wanted dollhouses that I took the plunge. The shabby chic is #5. You're doing everything though! I'm strictly a builder! Your dolls look fabulous and so do your furniture and houses! Hope we can give each other tips!
