Make your own Mini 'Dinklet' doll - free pattern for halloween


You didn't really think that my telling you about the new Tonner dolls was going to be all I did today did you?

Well, I'm glad to hear it, because I have added to my website, for you, a brand new mini doll pattern allowing you to make your own 'Dinklet' like Gloomlet, pictured above...

If you would like to have a go at this project then please click on the picture and you will be whisked through cyberspace to the pattern and instructions on my homepage.

I hope you will let me know how your crafting works out because I'd love to see what you create :)

Holly xoxo

Sweet Secrets Dolls

7-year-old Little Miss P and I have recently become fans of these adorable little "Sweet Secrets" dolls. They measure only about 2 inches tall and come in these tiny lipstick cases and with little compact accessory sets. They cost less than a fiver and pack a lot of cute into a diminutive package.

The cases are actually not very well designed as the doll's hair tends to stick out, also they clip onto your bag or wherever by a clip on the lid, the lid could easily pop off and you would have lost your doll!

Despite this they're definitely worth investing in, especially if your cash-strapped and space restricted, they're also freely available from most high street toy stores :)



While looking for more info on these girls online I also discovered that Sweet Secrets is also the name of an old 80s toy by Galoob, I don't actually remember them despite my age but here's a nostalgic advert for you :)
