Alice in Wonderland Black Apple Doll

My princess, and diva extrodinaire, will be turning 3 SOON! Valentine's Day to be precise. We will be going to see Tangled at the real movie theatre!! I'm excited and I think she'll absolutely love it. Along with the princess dress I've already made her (she somehow has received all of her presents early this year????), I made her an Alice doll. We love the new Disney live action version so I knew she'd have all sorts of plans and scenarios for her new Alice doll! I really, REALLY, suck at getting the links to publish. I'll try again anyway. First, here's the picture of Alice!

There she is. I used the Black Apple Doll tutorial on Martha Stewart's website. I winged the apron....it could have turned out better, but for a doll it will work! My girls love these dolls. Teagan also got one for her first birthday. And although it is no Bitty Baby from American Girl, they still play with them!

I'll post more pictures of Zoey's princess party creations as I make them! Later.

My baby is ONE!

Well. It happened. My sweet, precious, little baby girl just turned one. SO...I made things for her. (Probably too much....I tend to want to make far more than my stress level is capable of handling...) She got a dress that was supposed to have bloomers, but I under estimated the amount of fabric I was going to need and then messed up the fabric. So no bloomers. And she got a cute dress. And a blanket. And a dolly. (ALL handmade...) And she was supposed to have a pillowcase with her name on it, but I'm only as far as T E A G so far. I'll finish it one of these days. The dress was a Kwik Sew pattern and the shirt was a tutorial from Prudent Baby. The blanket I made her was from a pattern book called .... well, I can't remember. But I don't have a picture of the finished blanket yet, anyway! The doll was a black apple doll found on Martha Stewart's webpage. So overall that's my handmade First Birthday Party stuff!

I have vowed to not check my facebook page for 2 weeks. I'm almost there. This Saturday I can check it again. I wanted to go ahead and update here. I'm going to add a picture or two of the ridiculous snowfall we experienced here in KC. What a crazy 2 weeks to not be able to talk to my interweb friends! Oh well.
