Happy Valentine's Day

Hi Happy People,

Happy Valentine's Day!

I hope you all have a day full of love with your friends and family!

What will you wear on Vday? I think your PJ's have to look really cute for Valentine's Day and that's why Rory is wearing her favorite heart pajamas.

This is a retired outfit of American Girl and it is so comfy!

Rory is looking as cute as always <3

Next up are the Valentine's Outfits. Lilly and Gilly are both wearing a girly dress.

Lilly is wearing a retired outfit from AG. Lilly's favorite color is pink, so this outfit looks adorable on her!

Gilly looks fantastic in this crochet dress from AG. It was an item from the Spring collection in 2013.

VDAY is a sweet day, so you need to eat a lot of sweets!

Rory made some delicious popcorn! Rory used some popcorn (obviously :D), pink and red candy melt from Wilton (you know you can find it at Michael's) and some VDAY m&m's. We love the result.

Lilly: "It taste so good"
Gilly: "I want … MORE!"

Rory: "No, it's mine."

To all my dollie friends… YOU'RE POPPIN'! 

Lots of love,

Pretty Lilly - an American Girl

VDAY: Lovely Message Decorations

Hi Happy People,

Are you getting excited for Valentine's Day?

I am going to show you another quick and easy craft to spice up your doll room.

I hope you enjoy it.

I'll show you how to make these little lovely messages as decoration.

I've got the idea of a VDAY themed roomspiration video from Macbarbie07 (a.k.a. Bethany Mota). I loved these so much, and I decided to make them dollie sized.

What you will need are a bunch of cardboard letters. I've got these from a local craft store, but I think you can find them in a store like Michael's. You can also use foam letters.

I glued five of these letters together and you're done!

You can see they're pretty thick :)

This decoration looks so cute on shelves like in this cabinet.

Give some LOVE <3

These little messages match the colors of our picture frames we made!

I hope you had some great VDAY decorating tips!

Lots of love,

V-DAY DIY: More decorated picture frames!

Hi Happy People!

Today I am going to show you some more Valentine's Day picture frame decorations!

These are really simple to make and they look so cute.

Gilly is looking flawless, as always :)

What you'll need is:
- a picture
- some design paper
- some white paper
- some cupboard
- some corrugated cardboard
- some ribbon
- some decorations, like little flowers, hearts or bows

Step 1. First I am going to cut out a heart. I used some dies, but you can also cut them with scissors. I am also cutting out a thin heart as a border.

Step 2. Glue it all together.

Step 3. Time to decorate! I used these cute cardboard letters. Of cousre, you can decorate it your own way.

This is the other picture frame I made. I used the corrugated cardboard as a picture frame. I decorated this with 2 felt hearts, a ribbon and a little rose.

I hope you liked these picture frame ideas!

Lots of love,

VDAY DIY: A Crochet Picture Frame

Hi Happy People,

Are you getting in the mood for V-DAY? We are!

Today I decided to make a lovely home made gift for Gilly.
Here is a tutorial how to make a 'Crochet Picture Frame'.

Let's get started! First of all, I found this lovely idea on a Dutch blog. You can find it here.

You'll need:
- a bracelet
- a crochet needle
- felt
- scissors
- a picture
- glue

Step 1: Make 84 slip stitches around the bracelet and close with a slip stitch.

Step 2: Crochet 3 chain stitches and make a double stitch in every slip stitch.

Step 3: How to make a scallop? *Skip 2 stitches and crochet 7 double stitches in 1 stitch, skip 2 stitches and a slip stitch in the next stitch* and repeat

Step 4: crochet 15 chain stitches and close with a slip stitch

Step 5: Make a picture and glue this to the picture frame. After that, glue the felt to the picture. And you're done!

I used this lovely 'selfie' Gilly and I made.

I love the result! It is a lovely decoration to show your best friend you love her!

Awhh, we do look cute, don't we?!

Comment down below what kind of picture you would place in this picture frame.
Stay tuned for some more picture frame ideas!

Lots of love,

V-DAY Rory's Heart Garland

Hi Happy People,

It's finally February and that means … Valentines Day! 

I don't know about you dollies, but I love V-DAY. 

I love to give my friends a little 'home made' craft and of course I am going to show them to you! 

Here is the first tutorial of my Valentines Day Crafts. 

Rory is making her V-DAY Heart Garland.

This is a fun and easy way to decorate your dollie room!

You will need:
- 3 colors of felt
- yarn
- scissors

You can make the little hearts out of felt, like I did, or you can make them out of paper. I wanted to use white felt, but I couldn't find it. So I chose blue felt and I actually love how it turned out!

I braided three strings of my hot pink yarn and putted the hearts through the yarn. And you're done!

It looks so cute in our dollie room!

The hearts give your room a nice detail of some dollie love <3

I love to cuddle with my little Owl Love You! I made this craft last year for V-DAY and you can click here if you want to make it too.

Rory: "I am love how it turned out!"

I hope you liked this little Valentines Day craft!

XOXO,
