DIY photo set

Ok.... After fighting with fabric to be wrinkle, bump, and fold free, I got SICK and TIRED of it and decided to do something...

So here it is!! Its my own photo set for my ShaeJaes!! I am uber excited to have something idiot proof that I can just put in front of my window or outside and know the pictures will look good :)

Yesterday my baby girl got her "big girl" dresser, and left over was this huge box!! It was sitting in my porch and I was about to throw it out the door when I had a "AHHA" moment!

 I folded the lid up and glued the crap out of it so it is rock hard, sturdy! I then took some white coloured flannel I had laying around and glued it to the cardboard! Then for some cool accent colours I took some super cute fabrics and glued them to the top :)

 The first option is to just have a white background..

 The second option is to tie the accent fabric to create a "window" look.

 and the third optionn is to lay the fabric out to cover the entire back for a spash of colour!

Best part is, when I get sick of these 2 accent fabrics I can easily remove them and add different ones :)  Wahoo!! Now if you make and sell products I recommend doing something like this!  Photos are SOOOO important!  Making your product look the best that it can, will make it sell faster :)

(PS.. If you do go through the trouble making a sweet photo set like this one.. please Please PLEASE make sure you use good lighting!! Good lighting brings out all the colours and makes your photo look clear and crisp!  Don't take a picture in your basement and then post it in your etsy store!)

Have a great day!

ShaeJae Pony

The newest addition to ShaeJae is the 9" and 12" ShaeJae Pony!

 Their legs are medium firmly stuffed, they are firm enough to hold a doll but yes soft enough for it to still be a fun soft childs toy :)

 I measure them from the bottom of their hoof to the top of their head when its raised as high as it reaches.

 They made a perfect companion for your ShaeJae Doll!!

 The bodies are made from a high quality soft cotton interlock fabric and they are stuffied with cleaned and carted wool.

  I use a crochet cap style to attach the handspun mane and tail.

 I drafted, tested and created 100% of the design of the ShaeJae Pony :)

ShaeJae Wuv Baby

 Introducing the NEW ShaeJae Wuv Baby

Why Wuv Baby?? Well after searching for a suitable doll for my 1 year old for Christmas I almost gave up!  Either other doll makers didn't make them or they were impossible to get! So I have been thinking about this for a while creating and playing with a pattern that is a little different then my other lovies and dolls.. I did recently find another page that I got lucky enough to get one of their babies, but I decided to go ahead and make a ShaeJae Baby :)

 Their heads are the same as my other lovies and dolls, I still use a crochet cap.. But the hair is much much shorter...

 But here ou can see still long enough to put into little pig tails... My daughter loved her, gave her a BIG hug :)

 This is what gives the wuv baby a "baby" look.. The curved leggs.  Wuv baby arms are the same as my lovies and dolls.  They are also not as stuffed, giving them a softer feel.

I named the Wuv Baby, Wuv because when my daughter says goodnight to me and says "love you" it sounds like wuv you.... I think its cute, just like this baby xoxo

Welcome to ShaeJae Dolls

Welcome to ShaeJae Dolls!! My name is Laura, I started ShaeJae Dolls in the summer of 2011.  I have been in love with waldorf style dolls for many years! I love the soft faces, the big hair, the bright colours and the fact that they are 100% natural and handmade!  Once My daughters got to the age where I wanted to buy once of these amazing dolls I began to realize... I can sew.. I have access to all of the materials why don't I try making one of these myself. So I did.. And I haven't stopped since!! After giving my first doll to my daughter and the next 5 to friends I started a work at home business ShaeJae Dolls.. There are a lot of doll makers out there so I try my hardest to keep mine unique and different from the others.. I still love so many other doll makers dolls.. In fact I have a couple customs coming for my daughters for Christmas.  I love the art behind waldorf style dolls, and I want to share the love with other doll makers too :)

Here are a few of my dolls I have done so far...

As you can see I really do LOVE bright colours and BIG hair!!

Thanks for joining ShaeJae, I will be hosting many games and giveaways here... As well keep you up to date with new projects!

Have a great day!!
