A teenage girl displays a handmade rail fence doll-sized quilt in pink, burgundy, and off-white. To her left is an American Girl Kaya doll, and to her right is an 18-inch platinum blonde Madame Alexander doll. Each doll is dressed in flannel nightgowns with bunny slippers, perfectly matching the quilt's size. The scene is set in a pink-themed girl's bedroom, with the chellywood.com logo visible in one corner.

I have something new for sale in my Etsy store… #AGdolls #giftsforgirls

It might look like AI made the image above, but actually, I used my Canva account to design that image. However the quilt is another story. It’s entirely made by hand, with careful hand stitching, by my mother-in-law, Anita. At 18 by 22 inches, this rail fence style doll quilt is the perfect size for 18 inch dolls like Journey Girls, American Girl, and Our … Continue reading I have something new for sale in my Etsy store… #AGdolls #giftsforgirls

Did you play with your dolls in the water?

These two doll-friends really remind me of myself and my cousin, Virginia. I was always afraid of the water, whereas Virginia would dive in the minute we got out of the car! Virginia and I took our dolls to the beach, built sand castles for them to live in, and played like our Barbies were mermaids in the ocean water. The American Girl dolls, like … Continue reading Did you play with your dolls in the water?

An 18 inch doll wears a donut costume. There's a purple frame around the photo of the 18 inch doll in the frosted donut costume. The words "free pattern" are above and at a slight angle to the left of the photo of the 18 inch doll (not an American Girl doll, but one that looks a lot like American Girl dolls). The Chelly Wood dot com logo appears in one corner of the picture.

Inside a purple frame (with tiny white polka dots), we see an 18 inch doll (not one of the American Girls dolls but another brand) wearing a donut-shaped pillow as a Halloween costume. The words "free pattern" are at a slight angle over the top of the photo, and there's a white arrow that curls from the "free patterns" words to the pillow shape of the donut pillow worn around the doll's shoulders.
