Check Out My Make It Monday! Post On Daydream Doll Boutique!
I am sorry for the late post but I have had no Internet all day due to the storms we are gettin here on the West Coast! Today I have a super cute Maryellen inspired craft over at Daydream Doll Boutique and I hope you will come take a closer look. Click here for my Tutorial.
New Sew Fun Dress From A Baby Onesie! A New Madelon Fun Find!
Madelon just sent me these photos of the adorable dress she made from a baby onesie! No sewing required!
The big pink bow at the color may irritate a baby but is super cute on the doll!
To make one just like hers lay out your preemie-3 month baby onsie and cut off the bottom just above where the snaps go! Then put the dress on your doll, you can add a ribbon belt if you feel there is too much fabric or leave as is!
Thank you Madelon for another wonderful fun find!

Meet Charlsea! Maplelea's Newest Doll!
I am excited to see that Maplelea's Newest Doll is from the West Coast Of Canada! I am thrilled to have a doll represent where I live!
Her photo was released on the Maplelea Website today and she is pretty darn cute!
"Charlsea loves all things crafty, quirky…and colourful! Her cut-off jeans, patterned tights, yellow hairband, and home-made tie-dyed shirt show off her free spirit and fun personality. And don’t be surprised if you see her wearing her favourite pink rain boots even when it’s not raining. They come in handy as she explores her home of Salt Spring Island, a part of the “Wet Coast” of British Columbia. Charlsea has long auburn hair and eyes that are blue-grey, just like the Pacific Ocean! "

The Queen's Treasures Chef Outfit!
Madelon has kindly shared her photos of the outfit . The Queen's Treasures offers this 5 piece set for just over $20 on their website (though Madelon opted to have her doll in different shoes for this photo)
This set does up with Velcro in the front and is so much fun to have in her collection!
I love the way the hat fits! Back when I was a chef working in restaurants near here years ago I wore a very similar outfit and I even still have my chef coat! I love this set and think it would be a fun set to own!

Welcome Maryellen! Madelon's In store Visit!
Madelon went to see Maryellen this morning and has kindly sent us photos for those of us unable to make it to any of the store events!
From these photos I can see that American Girl has done an amazing job of offering girls a glimpse into the past and providing them with fun reproductions and historical items to play with! I love the dinner!
Oh the shoes are so cute! I do love this outfit! Don't you?
I made a point of not looking at or sharing any of the leaked images of Maryellen and her line so for me this is the first time I am seeing most of these items. What do you think of this dress?
I love the face of her puppy!
Let's look at the couch set!
I love the pj's and the curler set! Not to mention the couch that folds out!
I think the colors are wonderful and love this set up!
Girl sized pj's are cute as well!
A closer look at the Seaside Diner...
Love the little tray with burgers, breakfast and more, the stools for the counter are cute too!
The ketchup and mustard bottles are darling!
Thank you Madelon for sharing your excitement from this morning with us today!
