Fun Doll Sized Finds at Target

Hello everyone!
        I went to target today and found some really great doll sized stuff in the dollar section. Here are some of the things I found.

Not for school supplies.

 This first item would make an adorable display case for a bakery set up. Those are pretty popular with all the Grace hype, so this little tray would be a great way to organize doll sized pastries.

 Another new American Girl thing is the gardening set. It is adorable, and I'd love to make some kind of similar garden display. These lanterns would be perfect for lighting up your garden in the evening.

Money may not grow on trees, but eggs do.

 These "Egg Trees" don't make very much sense, but they are really cute and would be fantastic for an easter photoshoot.

 This little chalkboard sign would be wonderful for a Grace pastry set up as well. There is a similar item included in her bistro set.

Another trend in the doll world at the moment is doll room set ups. Agoverseasfan does great ones, and lots of other people (MixiePixie7 and Basilmentos come to mind here) have wonderful doll houses. These "Basket Containers" would make perfect laundry baskets for any doll room or house.

These one ct. glasses would be perfect for the carafe in Grace's bistro set.

All of these items were available for $1-3 in the bargain section at target, a great alternative way to make cute set ups without having to foot the American Girl bill.

Until next time,

Etsy Order & Sewing Spree Part 3

Hello everyone! Here is the last part of our sewing spree post. The first and seconds parts are the last two posts, so just scroll down.

This last little project really didn't have all that much to do with sewing, it was more of a crafting thing. As I mentioned before, there was a second piece to our etsy order. Camp Tees!

$4 Per T-shirt, pretty much.

We used this iron-on paper that we got at Joann's, it was super easy to use and the effect was perfect. It was also really inexpensive when compared to getting screen printing done.

You can see the outline of the piece we ironed on.

 It looks really good on the t-shirt, the only drawback being the square of white that gets ironed on, and makes the shirt a bit stiff. Other than that, it looks great! Another detail is that the colors are slightly lighter on the shirt then they are on the printables I printed on regular paper. Still, I am confident that the shirts will do their job, and extremely well for the cost of making them.

Friends!

Close up of the shirt detail.

Don't fall asleep!

We are super-dee-duper excited!

We are so excited about these super cute t-shirts! Here is the link to the review video on our Youtube, where you can see these shirts in action:
