Doll house tranformed

Here's a before and after pic of the uplift I gave the dollhouse that Meme got Jo for her birthday last year. Not a super drastic change, but it definitely made a difference. You might want to click on the image to get the full effect. I basically decopagued the floors and roof with different floor samples that I found online.

Latest Refashion from 2 tees

This idea was inspired by Anna at anniepat.blogspot.com (thanks anna-cool creations!!) and by Cal Patch's contribution to Craft Stylish. I didn't take a before pic but basically I took 2 oversized t-shirts that I found at the thrift store and transformed them into a cute long-sleeved dress, pants, and a little headband for jo. I gathered the pink shirt around the neck before attaching it to the yellow yoke and gathered the sleeves at the shoulder (with regular thread) and at the bottom of the sleeve (with elastic thread) for a poofy look. The pink shirt says austin, texas central railroad. thought that was fun!! Lydia loves when jo wears the dress- "choo choo!! choo choo!!"

Bible Puppets

Here are the puppets (Jesus and Nicodemus) that I used in Jo's Sunday School lesson yesterday. I got the basic template for the puppets at Puppets for Ministry (free pdf!). They were a big hit! Now I just need to practice my storytelling skills!

Dolls for girls

These are what I made Lydia and Jo for Christmas! I got the template for the elephant (Lydia's first and favorite animal sound) on the back of the Polyfil bag. I added the baby dolls to ride in the elephant's saddle. The crocheted doll on the right I based off of a pattern by Lion Brand Yarns. I changed the hair, legs, and added some boots!

Silhouette of kids

I made these pictures for Christmas presents for family. I used the tutorial at the adventures of rory and jess blog. It was actually a lot easier than I thought!
