Let's Build!

I have always considered myself to be a pretty crafty person! I've always loved scrapbooking and when I recieved my Cricut machines for Christmas, my love for it only grew. Once my daughter got her AG doll, we started looking into accessories for her. The beds, closets and other items were on the pretty expensive side. Any other time, I honestly wouldn't think twice about dropping money for her doll items but I wanted to find a way to make it more special.

A crafty friend of mine who is also my very best friend, turned me on to a great site. Ana-White.com. She is a mom who is extremely talented in all things BUILDING! I loved it from the first time I saw it and I was truely inspired. Her plans were FREE and EASY! I couldn't turn down the challenge.

The first thing we built was a Farmhouse bed for Baby Kay. The materials cost us $20. Here is the end result:

I'll be the first to admit, I'm not great at sewing. I am pleased to announce that I did recieve a sewing machine for my birthday though! I've gotten better so I hope to make a new mattress for the bed soon. I've made a practice comforter and pillows, which aren't shown, but I'm crazy and like them to match and right now they don't. :)

Our second building project was a doll armoire for her clothes. This obviously took a little longer and isn't perfect but we plan to build a second.


Our latest project was a doll high chair. Currently, it's unfinished. It needs to be sanded and painted. Kaydence was dying to play with it though so we have it inside being put to good use!


I can't wait for our next project! I think we've decided it's going to be the doll sized picnic table! Stay tuned!

Here is Ana White's website in case you want to take a look!
