What's New Wednesday - Beachwear, Minnie Wear, Arm Wear, OH MY!

If you didn't notice...I missed last week's edition.  I'm sorry, I don't even know what happened, and I don't even want to think about it!  Ok, with that being said, on to today's features!


First off is...Beachwear!  I have had a few "beach" type items in the shop, but this past week I received a request to make some more.  So, I put my nose to the grindstone and VOILA!  Of course, these outfits are not suitable to actually "swim" in; and you shouldn't put American Girl Dolls in water, anyway.  But they are super cute and super ready for sunbathing next to the community pool!

Next up, this super cute dress that I'm working on for a friend of mine (remember Cathy from Cathy's Cakes).  After a mocking up a dress for her to meet the approval (refer to son abuse here), I got sidetracked with other goings-on and it got put on the side burner.  Well today, after deliberation from my Facebook friends on what to make today, I started the actual Minnie-inspired dress!  YAY!  This is not the completed dress, I still have to add the bottom ruffle/underskirt which will be the black and white polka dots, but I thought I would share it with you!  After this is done, I will then make a matching doll-size dress...will post pictures when I get to that point.

In July, the new shop will be opening, showcasing some of my non-doll items.  In a previous post I showed you some lunch "accessories" that will be there, but today I'm sharing one of the purses that will be included also.  This purse was made using a pattern from KeykaLou; isn't it super cute!

All right, I think that's enough for today...isn't it?  I just counted how many times I said "super cute" in this post, and I'm a bit nauseated - why didn't someone stop me?  Well off to study a thesaurus and finish up some other projects!  See you next wednesday!

What's New Wednesday - Spring Blooms

Oh yes, it is finally here. Through sheer will, the sun has re-joined us, and loveliness unearths itself to add a bit more color to the world. It's spring time! And what better way to start off the spring with some fun and pretty outfits featuring lovely spring time patterns!

This week's features are:

You can find them in Camelot's Treasures in the next few days, ready for you to add to a special Easter Basket!

And for any of you REALLY paying attention to this blog, I'm offering a special discount from April 1st through April 8th for Nice Girl Note followers. Check back for details on that!

On another note, we just added another BFC Ink doll to our collection, ready for more BFC Ink fashions to hit your home! I am so excited to now have Addison, Calista, Noelle, and Aliesha and I can wait to have CJ (the boy) to join us - we are still waiting for his delivery from Wal-Mart.

All right, that is all for this week. Be back here same time next week for more new items in Camelot's Treasures!

What's New Wednesday: Retro Jacks

I know, I know, I skipped a week in the "What's New" series. I had finished the outfit that I was working on for it, but I just wasn't completely satisfied with it. So I didn't want to share it...I wanted to work on it a bit more. I'm sorry.

However THIS WEEK I have some uber cute little outfits perfect not FEATURING American Girl Dolls, but their little sisters, the Bitty Baby Twins! Last fall I found a super cute bundle of fabric from Worthy Goods Textiles on Etsy, and I started imagining some cute things I could make with them. It took me several months to actually sit down and create them, however I think they were totally worth the wait! I have two versions of the Bitty Baby Girl outfits (both come with a dress-style shirt and cropped pants) and then decided that their big sister needed a matching outfit also. But that still wasn't enough....although it didn't make it into the photo shoot, I have a Bitty Baby Boy outfit perfect to go along with the rest of them.

These outfits will be listed in the store sometime this week; I need to tweak the pictures a bit and finish the blonde's headband to make it just right. But be on the look-out for it!

Since I skipped it last week, I thought I would add a little bonus to this week's edition. The outfit that I WAS going to feature last week is one for the BFC Ink doll. Camelot's Treasures will start carrying clothing that fits these dolls also, in the next few months, but here's a sneak peek of what's in store! I'm so excited!

As a side note, I'm working on convincing my not-so-silent partner (you guessed it, my husband) to let me invest in one of the Karito Kids dolls, so I can start carrying clothes for them also. We will see how it goes; cross your fingers for me!

Keep checking back for my updates on what's going on in Camelot's Treasures!
