Great Deal For Doll Spa Party Themed Take Home Gifts From Roxys Knit Knacks Etsy Shop!

While the spa towels are what you get in the  order I love this idea to pair a small sponge or bar of soap with  your take home party gifts! You can even choose the color! Click here for shop and listing.

I also love that for $23 you can order a set of the doll size and girl size wraps! Click here for shop listing.

Thank you all for joining me this birthday week and thank you all for the warm wishes.

Made By Me Sewing Studio In North Vancouver, American Girl/Maplelea Sewing Parties and Summer Camp!

Made By Me Sewing Studio is a local sewing company that I can literally walk to! They offer wonderful birthday parties for doll lovers, and will even do a sewing party of doll clothing for moms and aunts! Located in North Vancouver, BC just behind Capilano Mall at 108- 949 West 3rd Street, if you are local this is a place you need to check out!

I stopped in early last week to get more information on their classes and on their summer programs. I was so very impressed. For the price you would pay to take the kids to the trampoline park or laser dome you could host a party for your closest doll loving friends and everyone goes home with a new outfit for their dolls!

This summer there are two American Girl Camp's set up for July 18-21, 9-12 and August 2-5, 9-12. Space is limited and I highly recommend booking in now. I can not think of a more fun way to spend  a week of summer day camp! Call 604-971-0940 or email info@madebyme.ca

Do A Little Math Make A Little Swing Seat For Your Dolls! A Jessica T Tip

I have not done the math but Jessica T and I think that if you take this E How Tutorial for a Macrame Seat you can make a great doll house porch accessory for your dolls.
We think that if you make this pattern and reduce it to 1/3 the size that it should fit the 18 inch dolls (Don't quote us on that you may want to figure out the math yourself but based on what we know that dolls are 1/3 the size of girls their supposed age that is what we are going with )
To view this fun summer craft tutorial please click here. It would be fun to see a dolly and me version don't you think?

We would love to see yours if you make one! Email us a picture at karenmowen@gmail.com

A Visit With Doll Shoe Lane!

I love these little shoes. All the ones I am sharing today can be found in a relativity new Etsy shop called Doll Shoe Lane.  Today Shop owner Noah share a bit about the shop.

KMOT: How did you get started sewing doll shoes for American Girl Dolls?

DSL:After I graduated from High School last Spring, I decided I wanted to become an entrepreneur and run my own business. I started out making T-shirts with designs out of heat transfer vinyl and then tried making other things. My mom came up with this idea of me making doll shoes. She runs her own machine embroidery business and she sells the designs. Some of her most popular designs are her doll shoes. She had a lot of requests to sell the actual doll shoes instead of the embroidery file. So she came to me with this idea of making and selling doll shoes on Etsy, and that would help me understand the basics of running my own business. 

KMOT: How many dolls to you have?

DSL: I don’t own any dolls myself. However my two sisters have collected quite a few over the years that I use to model my shoes in the photos. Between the two of them, they have many American Girl dolls and 18” My Twinn Dolls as well as a few department store type dolls.

KMOT: What to like most about this style of doll shoe?

DSL:The nice thing about my doll shoes is that they fit most 18” dolls and they’re made of felt which makes them very flexible to get on and off of the dolls foot.   They also don’t have laces or straps so kids of all ages can dress their dolls super easily.  

KMOT:What is your most favorite shoe to make?

DSL:My favorite shoe to make would probably be the Guitar Slip On, because I actually play guitar, and I enjoy music related things. 

KMOT: Which is your top seller?

My top seller right now would be the Purple Bow Band doll shoes. I have several different varieties of the bow band shoe in different colors.

KMOT: Let us know anything about yourself, your shop or your doll collection that you think our readers would like to know.

DSL: I’m always adding new shoes to my shop so there’s a lot to look at and choose from.  I also started shipping internationally so everyone around the world can enjoy my shoes!

Thank you so much Noah for sharing your shop with us today, personally my favorite are the watermelon shoes! Delightful!

Bitty Baby and Twin Visit At The Miami Store - Madelon's Trip Visit #6

Spend a few hours ( I mean minutes) in the bitty baby section of the American Girl store and you will see why this line is so important!

Bitty babies are truly a sweet part of the American girl line.

Fun and colorful outfits that match little ones are just one part I adore in this line!

The faces of the bitty babies are as sweet as can be, I love this outfit too!

Sun hats and sand toys such an adorable little set!

The bitty baby dolly bath set is so much fun!

This photo makes me want to run into the store and purchase the entire line and a new bitty baby for myself!

The bitty twin line is one I wish would go on forever. These chubby toddler dolls bring such a smile to my face. I loved it when my nieces got them and I even have a pair for myself. I think the line is wonderful and I will be sad to see it go.

I love the blue outfits!

The stroller is such a great piece, I wished I had had something like this growing up.

Snap up bitty twin and bitty baby deals while you can! I wish I could add a set of each twin and each bitty baby to our own doll play collections.
Thank you Madelon for taking so many wonderful photos while in store.
