Doll review:Lammily!!!!

Yaaaay! I got my lammily doll in the mail! I actually got her yesterday, but, I was too busy playing with her! The clothes that I pre-made for her fit. I also made her another shirt for her last night. Ok, ok get on with the review now! Lammily is fully articulated, but in a unique way. She has a bend and snap knee, a joint at the ankle, a joint at the wrist, and here it comes: a bend and snap elbow! I don't think that's common, but that is just what I have seen. She has rotation in her shoulders and her legs can move back and forth. This is an exlusive first edition of lammily so she came with denim shorts (with real back pockets!) and a blue and white gradient three-quarter length shirt. She also came with white running shoes with painted orange laces. She has brown hair with light brown highlights and sort of in the middle skin tone. I am actually really happy that the first edition of this doll has brown hair. I like all doll hair colours, but, I am very impressed. Overall I think lammily is an awesome doll and thank you to her creaters so bye bye for now :-)!

My Little Pony:Derpy, Fluttershy, and Thunderlane!

I was so so happy to find this set! I purchased it at Winners for $6. Some of my favourite pegasi are Derpy (my overall favourite), Fluttershy (my 2nd favourite) and Thunderlane (ONE of my favourite stallions, next to Big Macintosh). I was so happy especially to finally find Derpy because some of you may also know how diffiCOLT (Get it?) it is to find Derpy. I noticed that Derpy's cutie mark was a bit off of her flank, but, I actually do not really care because I FOUND A GENUINE WILD DERPY!!! Fluttershy came rainbowified and she had green; my favourite colour! Here are some pics of them so bye bye for now :-)!

Easy way #3: Crochet it up!

First, tie your yarn around your crochet hook. Then make a chain two times longer than you want your scarf to be. If you do not know how to make a chain, then keep repeating what the second and third pictures show until you get the desired length. Next, attatch the  two ends together with single crochet. If you do not know how to crochet, then there are lots of helpful videos online. After, double crochet the next loop. Keep doing double crochet until you get the desired length. This was really hard to explain so if you do not know how to do any of the crochet stitches mentioned here  you can check out different DIY websites and youtube videos for how to do them. I made this for Inky so I only needed to do one row ofdouble crochet, but, if you are making this for a larger doll or even a human, you would use bigger yarn and a bigger hook. I used a 4.00 hook and I think the yarn size was 2. I guess you wouldn't have to use bigger yarn and a bigger hook for a doll, but, you would for a human. I am actually making myself an infinity scarf in progress.I hope you enjoyed  my infinity scarf series so bye bye for now!

Easy way #2: Good old needle and thread

First, cut a strip of fabric. Then fold it in half so that the shorter ends meet. Sew these shorter ends together. Turn it right side out and you are done! Refer to the pictures below if you need help.

Cold weather doll stuff: 3 easy ways to make an infinity scarf for a doll

Hello! This craft is pretty easy all three ways but I am going to put it in order from easiest to hardest. Don't worry, the hardest one is not even that hard. I am going to do it in three seperate posts so that you can see the picture right below the instructions. I may even need to use a video if the tablet is able to post videos. Enjoy!

Easy way #1:Sock scarf
This method is easier than pie (making pie is actually a really long process, I guess when the expression was made everyone knew how to make pie). All you have to do is cut the top of the sock off. Really, that is all. If your sock is fraying, then you may want to hem the sides but you do not have to. Refer to the pictures below if you need a little help. Put it around your doll or toy's neck by using the opening where you would have put it on

Shopkins: Homemade!

This shopkins post is a little different. This time around, the Shopkins are homemade! Since I figured I would probably never get any limited edition shopkins, I made some out of clay. I used the clay out of the Klutz Clay Charms kit (I really love Klutz, I even mentioned the potholders kit in one of my first posts). I used refrences from the Shopkins wikia page. I formed Cupcake Queen, Sunny Screen and Twinkie Winks (her arm fell off, but, I still love her) out of yellow clay because that's what I had the most of. After I painted them with metallic paint in certain spots and normal paint in other spots. Since Sunny Screen is blue with a metallic finish, I just painted a light coat of silver nail polish. Since before I had 22 Shopkins, now I have 25 because I made 3. I hope you enjoyed this blog post so bye bye for now!
