Black apple doll - Princess Wanda

I've finally made enough of these Black Apple Dolls that I feel like I can whip one out pretty fast, especially with my little helpers stuffing the limbs! I use the pattern, but lately, I always use fleece instead of felt. The felt ones I made for my girls looked ratty and pilled pretty fast. The fleece is also very soft and machine washable. WINNER!

This is my favorite black apple doll yet, and if I can manage to get it done, I will be making one exactly like this for this sweet little baby that could come any day now.  We made this little doll for a friend's birthday. It was a princess party, so we thought it was only fitting that she should have a nice crown and skirt.

The crown was pretty easy and is stretchy and removable. If you are dying to make one, too, post a comment  or send me an e-mail about it and I'll try to put up a pattern. (Wouldn't it be cute to make one matching for your big girl, too?)

Here she is without her accessories. Still lovely and demure!

Alex the Altiod tin magnetic paper doll

Here is the Altoids tin doll that I promised! I used to sell this on Etsy for $2, but I decided that free is much better. So, here's what you do. Print off this image so that it fills a whole sheet of paper. Then follow the instructions that are already on my other site, Recycled Toys. Enjoy!

PS- I'm also working on a less choke-able, less lose-able girl doll.Coming soon!
