Autumn 🍂

Image
Outside the window, everything looks magical — as if someone has painted the trees with a palette of warm colors. Halloween is coming, and the kingdom is already preparing for the celebration 🎃 Emma has created a black witch hat and decorated it with autumn accents. She did not expect it to turn out so lovely! It is her very first crocheted hat, and she truly loves how cozy the crocheted ones feel. Now she just needs to find the right outfit — and the festive look will be complete. P.S. I decorated my mini studio with autumn décor, and it feels so inspiring! It is the perfect place for taking autumn-themed doll photos. At first, I planned for Emma to be a toy maker, but now she has changed her craft. She creates hair accessories, hats, and props — and it seems this suits her much better, especially with her long, wavy hair. By the way, I also changed the lipstick color of Barbie Extra — now it is soft yet noticeable. I never liked nude shades; they blend too much with the face tone. H...

New Furniture in Vanessa’s Workshop

Image
  Vanessa is changing — and her workshop is transforming as well. New white shelves have appeared here, making the space feel cozier and more comfortable. I had long dreamed of wooden miniature furniture for the doll workshop. I even bought an electric jigsaw to work with plywood. But my first attempts didn’t succeed, and the tool stayed in its box for several years. This year I decided to give my dream a second chance: I sold the electric jigsaw, bought a hand one and a few sheets of plywood — and, to my delight, this time it worked! I made my very first shelves by hand. Until now, I had only created furniture from cardboard, so this was a completely new experience for me. After a few days of work, it was finally time to start painting the furniture. Vanessa, of course, helped 🙂 A toothpaste cap turned into a tiny bucket of white paint, and a toothpick became a brush. Such a simple, magical moment — and the furniture came to life under her skillful hands. I truly love when everyt...

Vanessa has matured 😉 She has become so feminine, with a wonderful sense of style. Her facial features are sharp and beautifully defined. She is no longer a beginner in sewing, but an experienced dressmaker who is now shaping fashion on the Island of Creative Makers. P.S. I truly love the Barbie Looks dolls. For a long time, I have been thinking about replacing my playline dolls with collectible ones. And now, Vanessa’s role belongs to Barbie Looks 23 🥰 Vanessa has grown up! What do you think about this change — from the playline Barbie Made to Move DHL82 to the collector Barbie Looks 23? Share your thoughts in the comments 🌸 📸 Vanessa and I took a photo for the cover of my new video. Thanks to YouTube, I now take pictures with my dolls more often — and it brings me so much joy! Even the preparation for a photoshoot feels inspiring. Vanessa is wearing a light blouse with lace and tiny white beads, a skirt with a corset, and a headband with a bow. I also made myself a headband from...

Vanessa sewed new clothes in vintage style

Image
  Vanessa often sits by the ocean — thoughtful, as if searching for answers to life’s most important questions. She gazes into the distance, watching the sky gently meet the waves. Sometimes, she walks barefoot along the shore, dancing with the sea 🌊 This enchanting view inspired her to create an outfit in a turquoise shade. Back in her workshop, step by step, a delicate blouse with airy sleeves and a vintage skirt with a corset came to life — a true work of art. Vanessa has made similar pieces before — they are incredibly comfortable. This time, she dreamed of the same style, only in new colors. The dreamer picked up a pencil to sketch the design and noticed something curious — she was drawing with her left hand. Confidently, lightly, as if it had always been this way. It felt unusual… but not frightening at all. On the magical island, little wonders are part of everyday life ✨ With that mysterious ease, she traced all the corset pattern pieces, guided by inspiration that seemed ...
