Mina loves Lalaloopsie dolls. She already has two “little sisters” and will be getting another “big sister” and a “big brother” for her birthday on Saturday.
On a trip to Daison I picked up some crochet thread and cotton. I made a dress for each of Mina’s “buddies”:
Trina is making her new dolls clothes – much more sophisticated that what I would make. Mina tried so hard to make the new pajamas fit on her buddy. I finally helped by putting some tiny hair elastics on her arms and legs so they would stay on. Mina particularly like the “party dress.” I think the fact that it is a long dress is what made it a party dress. When the new clothes disappeared overnight the poor girl was heartbroken. So I decided to make her ‘little sisters’ new party dresses. I used scraps from Trina’s makings to hand sew the first one. I decided that, for me, crocheting was much easier.
I hope Mina has as much fun playing as I had making!
