Throwback Thursday- Then and Now
Well, this is pretty exciting! I’ve never done a Throwback Thursday before, but today I really felt like doing one!
This was my table at my first craft fair in May of 2010. I only knew how to make beanies and ruffled hats. I wasn’t even making bonnets yet!
And this is my table at the last craft fair I did in December of 2013. Now I have mostly outfits and costumes! I think it is so neat to see how far I have come in my crocheting. I can’t wait for my next craft fair in May! I’m sure Anna and Elsa will be a huge hit! π
Now it’s question time!
How did you like this post? Would you like to see more Throwback Thursdays?
~Jaclynn~
Wow, major changes! You’ve definitely come a long way π
I think it’d be cool to see more, they’re so fun to see! π
By the way, did you see this?

Isn’t that exciting! My dolls can’t wait! Especially Bekah, Isabelle, and Cody, since they haven’t been before π
~Carli
Thank you! π
Yes, I did!! I’m very excited! Only I don’t think I’ll be able to participate a lot because I don’t have money to spend on crafting supplies right now. And when I do get money I like to spend it on other things, so I’ll just be doing what I can π But maybe I could do my own summer camp for them! I don’t know, there’s still a long time to think about it π
Oh, yeah! They’ll have so much fun! Cecile, Eli, Samantha, and Kaya will enjoy it, too! Especially Eli and Kaya! π
~Jaclynn~
You’re welcome!
Oh that’s too bad, but at least you’ll still be participating π
Yeah, I bet they’ll have lots of fun! π
~Carli
Thank you for commenting this, Carli! I have been wondering What Camp DD is and if I could participate. I think my dolls will have fun this summer!
You’re welcome! π
~Carli
Fun!! π Let’s just say, I like any posts, so sure!! π Maybe more pictures next time, though? π I love pictures!!! Your crocheting is really great.
Wow! ~Leah
wow! yes i loved you’re throwback thursdays…….
Hi Peace! LOL it is such a coincidence that we both like the same blog! xD
I love your Throwback Thursday! You really have come very far in your crocheting! π I find sewing more enjoyable for me. If my Etsy shop becomes successful I might start going to craft fairs as well. π
~Lydia~ <3
Thank you so much π
That would be great for you! I hope it all goes well! What is your Etsy shop? I’d like to visit it π
~Jaclynn~
Actually, I have not put stuff on it. π But I will soon and I want to start working on a doll skirt and maybe some clay food. π It is called SewPrettyClothing. π
~Lydia~ <3
That is so cool Jaclynn! I hope your business continues to do well! Keep up the good work!
I would definitely love to see more TBT! π
Oh guess what! I am getting the Casual Chic Outfit from AG! it’s 50% off, we still have to place the order, but I can get it! I am so excited! π I have wanted it for a while! π
Aw, thank you so much! π
That’s awesome!! I really want to buy the Sweet School Dress, but I don’t have any money and it’s only $14! I wish I had money π
I would also like to get the Casual Chic Outfit! It’s so cute! I love the sweater π
Congratulations!
~Jaclynn~
You’re welcome! π
Well, I used the money I was saving for my Rebecca doll I want to get! lol! I wasn’t supposed to spend it, but I couldn’t pass up the great deal! I can’t wait until it comes! IKR! It is such a cute outfit!
! How old were you when you started crocheting?You are so amazing!!!!!!!!!You have progressed a lot I want you to make a patterns book so badly (Please) because I am dying to crochet Rapunzel’s dress. I hope you do well at your craft fair. I would love to be able to come up with doll outfits as well as you do.

I was 10 when I first learned to crochet π
Thank you so much!! Your compliments mean a lot! π
I’m sorry, but at the moment I have no plans of selling my patterns π
Thank you! I’m sure that as you practice more you will be able to make great things!
~Jaclynn~
The ! goes after “a lot,” not at the beginning of the comment. How did that happen? π
-Morgan
It’s amazing to see how far you have come…..especially since I am a amateur crocheter compared to you! Can you do a tutorial on the ruffled hats pls?
Thank you π
Well, you see, I’m not too good at tutorials and usually when I feel like someone is watching me, I tend to make a few mistakes… But if you know how to make beanies for your dolls then I could tell you how to make the ruffle π
All you have to do is do 3 Double Crochets (DC’s) in each stitch around. And then you’re done! π
I hope this helps!
~Jaclynn~
Oh, Thanks! I should be able to think up the hat, I’ve made others before! Can’t wait to try this!
Hi!!
