Crafting Day

Aubrey, Avery and I had an impromptu sleep over last night. To amuse ourselves we made dolls using the template and instruction video found here. We changed things up a bit by adding color, clothes and faces to suit each of our personalities.

Avery patterned her doll after Clawdeen Wolf, her new MonsterHigh doll. Clawdeen is a teenage werewolf. You'll notice Avery's ragdoll doll sports fangs, pointy ears, red eyes and bling befitting any well-dressed
high fashion werewolf.

Aubrey went a little more traditional with hers.

She wanted her doll to be cheerful. She says she
might give her doll to a friend...I told her no way, I put too much work into that doll.
She'll have to make her own doll to give away.

My doll is the blue doll with lavender hair in the background. I think I might make some more
to take out to Texas with me. I'll be going out in a few weeks to meet my
newest granddaughter.

  3. Such fun you have with these sweet grandaughters, Stevie. I long for the day when I might have one...even a grandson will do...but, you know, after a lifetime with three sons, I'm rooting for a girl, if and when, Laura and Alex decide to consider making one!!!
