Oh the things I get talked into….two years ago I purchased some adorable wooden dolls that were hand painted by the fabulous Gemmielou to look like our family. Izzy has always wanted a set of her own. For some reason this week she decided I needed to paint a set for her. If you know my daughter you know that when she gets an idea in her head she is RELENTLESS until she gets her way. LOL! So….what have I been doing this week? Painting wooden dolls of course. Since I am in NO WAY good at painting, I did my best to copy Gemmie’s dolls. I desperately needed her inspiration. If you check out her site you will see she is amazing and yes I know mine look to be at about the 1st grade level. Ha!
Izzy and Sam are actually painting their own sets today. If you are looking for a fun project with your kids check out her Etsy site! Happy Friday!
It’s pretty obvious that Gemmie’s Dolls are the top photo and the bottom two are my sad attempt to copy her. LOL!






ohhhhhh my goodness these are LOVELY!!! DARLING!! SWEET!!!! You are so blessed to have a daughter that encourages you step out of your comfort zone.
:):) For the record yours LOOK GREAT…. ten million times better than I could ever paint.
I’ve been meaning to make these for my daughter since I saw someone blog about them at Christmas a couple of years ago. Hmmm. Maybe I can use them as a reward if she manages to keep her room clean for more than a day.
You did an excellent job! I need to do this for my kids.
How fun — this is a great project off to check out her site now!
