I'm a few days late, but I finally snapped the year end group photo (minus two dolls that are away getting painted)!

It is very tempting to change things up for the 2026 end of year photo to maybe do the large dolls and minis separately, but ffff...I love seeing them all mingled together. Unfortunately though, it is a huge pain in the ass finding the energy to get them set up together in a way where you can see most everyone.

Anyway, below is some behind-the-scenes pictures!

~ Childhood Memories ~

Yes yes yes, I used a YouTube tutorial passed on to me by @queenofsquids , I didn’t follow the tutorial to the letter as this garment was meant for an actual child. While the doll I’ve made this for is the hight of a child she’s still doll proportions.

I shorted this romper by omitting rows and increased allot less than what would be required for a 0-3 month sized garment.

I really enjoyed the work up of this stitch too, it’s not exactly the “V” stitch but it acts very similarly. I like how it almost has this “zigzag “ affect with the color changing yarn I’ve used here.

I think Lillian likes this romper. I definitely feel like the belt/drawstring makes all the difference between a playful child garment and a more fitted feminine jester sorta vibe.

Speaking of Jester vibes, Lillian probably could get away with it allot more if I were to make an outfit with this aesthetic intentionally. I only got the idea after popping one of my headdresses on her that happen to match the romper. I’m happy she likes my style, I haven’t thought to use a headdress on her till now.

All in all, a success! I love the colors, the stitch of the garment and I like how easily altering its scale was. I might make this again but for my Pear SmartDoll….

Till next time doll people!!
