Grab a snack, doll friends, because today we are opening 5 Surprise Foodie Mini Brands! What are Foodie Mini Brands? Foodie Mini Brands are tiny replicas of popular fast-food meals and drinks. They are manufactured by Zuru—the same geniuses behind Mini Brands, Mini Toy Brands, and Mini Fashions—and are currently everyone’s top choice for doll-sized munchies (though MGA’s Miniverse Make It Mini Foods are pretty popular too). I’ve opened countless Mini Brands, but this is my first adventure with Foodie Mini Brands, and I’m eager to check them out. Ah, the answer to that is simple. Our miniverse ..read more

What’s up, everybody? I hope y’all are ready for some miniverse multimedia because we’re doing something we haven’t done in a really long time—a video review! Friends, allow me to introduce the newest members of our miniverse, Barbie Signature Looks Dolls #13 and #18! It’s been forever since I bought a new doll, so I’m over the moon to have these two. In fact, I was so excited that I actually filmed the entire review the day they arrived (April 3rd). Quite a feat for me! Unfortunately, some pesky circumstances delayed the editing process, which is why I’m a bit behind (again?). You see, my The ..read more

We’re finally opening Mini Fashions Series 2 by Zuru! This second wave of Mini Fashions began trickling into stores last November. At least, they trickled into every store except those near me?. I later learned that those Mini Fashions were accidentally released and shouldn’t have appeared until mid-December. Anyhow, the fact remains that I wasn’t a lucky shopper who managed to snag one of those rogue Mini Fashion balls and had to wait until the actual release date to order them. My prizes arrived a couple of days later and have been sitting on my table for the past few weeks while I finished ..read more

Are you kidding me? Is it really February? I can’t believe I let another month pass without posting anything! Grrr! That’s true. And while I hate leaving my projects untouched for days on end, I am thrilled with the progress I’ve made on the farm. The chicken coop looks splendid! But I won’t bore y’all with animal talk. It’s time I got back into the blogging swing, so let’s kick off 2023 with a peek at my current doll rooms under construction! Awesome! To the craft table, everyone—we’ve got rooms to tour! The Boutique: The Pixie Dust Boutique has been around since 2021. It was The post A New Y ..read more

Welcome, friends, to our annual Christmas craft! Hey, you know I can’t be pinned down by dates. Besides, it’s not December 25th yet. There’s still plenty of time for a little yuletide fun! And this year we’re doing something totally unique. We are making holiday shirts for our dolls using our own custom-designed fabric! Introducing Printable Fabric: A few months ago, I came across these Sew-In Colorfast Printable Fabric Sheets by June Tailor: Fabric that rolls right through your printer? This I had to check out! What is printable fabric? Printable fabric sheets are pieces of 8.5″ by 11″ paper ..read more

Do you know what today is? That’s right! It’s time to spice up Elsa’s apartment with bedding, wall art, accent pieces, and anything else we can think of! And, even though Thanksgiving has already come and gone, I’m going to take this opportunity to use some of my favorite harvest-themed crafts and trinkets. It’s not my fault they’ve sat in storage for so long. The holidays pass by too quickly! Besides, we both know it takes time to create a beautiful space. The prettification process cannot be rushed. Now, stop critiquing my design tactics, and help me carry this pile of knickknacks. We’ve got ..read more

Wow, I can’t believe it’s almost October! What happened to August and September? The past few weeks seem a solid blur of errands, housework, and…being sick. Ugh, it’s true. After dodging it for two years, I was struck by the miserable Covid virus?. For a solid week, I ached, ran a fever, coughed my guts up, and suffered one helluva migraine that eventually landed me in the ER. The symptoms have finally eased, and I can sit up and have a little fun on the computer (yay!). Unfortunately, crafting is still out of the question. I’m not complaining, though, because just being upright feels great. T ..read more

Does anyone else struggle with unfinished doll crafts? I sure do! Seriously, how hard is it to complete one task before jumping ahead to the next? For me, impossible! Well, that’s got to change. I’m determined to wrap up the half-baked rooms, furniture, and whatnot scattered about our house so I can move on to new ideas. Which craft am I tackling first? A little project I like to call: The Farmhouse Apartment! I started building this room last October. It’s based on My Froggy Stuff’s Doll Apartment with Fall Decor. As of right now, it belongs to Elsa. Elsa’s previous abode was great. It The po ..read more

Does Tink have a lot of clothes? Yes, she does. I make her new outfits pretty regularly…and I think the other fairies are kind of jealous. Sewing these itty-bitty dresses is a bit trickier than sewing for Barbie, but the end result is well worth the effort. And it looks like Tink’s colorful garb has caught the attention of one of our readers because we’ve received a request for a tutorial showing how I make these tiny garments. Well, dear friend, your wish has been granted! Today we are sewing new dresses for our Jakks Pacific mini fairies! While Tink is usually the recipient of The post Let’s ..read more
