About

I'm a 30-something doll collector based in Spain. Back in 2013 I started collecting Monster High dolls and doing some crafts for them (so that's why the blog is called Monster Crafts), but later I started growing an interest in other dolls such as Ever After High and Barbie.

I post about anything doll related, from reviews, photography ideas, crafts, etc. Currently I'm more focused on crafts, dioramas and backgrounds for doll photography, being my Mix'n'match series a huge part of it, but I still do cover other doll-related topics. I don't see this blog as me teaching anybody, but rather than sharing what I'm learning along the way and hopefully inspiring somebody. When I started collecting dolls, I knew nothing and often couldn't find the information that I needed. I often couldn't find much on how to make doll furniture, dioramas or tips to doll photography, so I had to learn by try and error. This blog is a way for me to share what I'm learning along the way and the kind of information I would have found useful when I started. 

 Despite the blog involves dolls, it is targeted towards an adult audience because, well, I'm an adult. However, I try to keep the blog free of strong language and sensitive topics. Anyway, I would recommend adult supervision while reading this blog. 

Hope you enjoy my blog and join me in the fantastic world of doll collecting. I would love to have you around here.

      Hello,
      Thanks for your compliment and for stopping by. I'm happy that you consider Spain your second home and I'm sure that you'll be more than welcome if you ever come back. Unfortunatelly, I haven't been an active blogger lately, but I'm working on a couple of posts for this summer.
      Thank you very much for your lovely comment.

How to make a doll TV that "works"

Image
Hi again! It's just taken me over a month to write a new post. I've been keeping myself busy: I'm doing an online marketing course, Mr. Monster and I are trying to do some sport, so I can't quite find time in my spare time for blogging. Also, my laptop crashed again and I have to borrow Mr. Monster's. The other reason why it took me so long is that I wanted to bring you something more creative than another doll review. So, if I can't find the time to sit down and write, I even have less time to craft. So, as you may have guessed by the title, today I'm going to show you how to do a doll TV in which you can change what's on the screen. I actually came up with this idea a couple of years ago and I was inspired by I toy that I had as a child. However, I never found the time or the patience to work on it until now. So, if you are curious to see how I did it, just keep reading.

Retro Review: Barbie Travelin' House playset (1995)

Image
Hi again, doll lovers! How is your summer going so far? Jeez, this summer is keeping me busy. Our house makeover is finally taking off. We've been busy meeting with the contractor and choosing the materials. At first I was quite frustrated because I didn't see any progress, but now I finally see it moving, slowly but steady. Also, both Mr. Monster and I got sick a couple of weeks ago, which didn't leave with much time left to play with dolls. Anyway, I'm finally here with a new blog post. A while back Barb posted on her blog about a doll she had as child. On that post, I told her about this playset and I thought it would be interesting to show it to you guys. Also, Barb, I hope you don't mind that I've been mentioning you like in 4 out of 5 blog posts lately. I hope you guys find it interesting, both if you had this as a child or if you are just curious about Barbie playsets. Let's start!

Let's discover some new blogs!

Hi again. Hope you're all doing well.  In some of my last posts I wrote that some of the people I used to follow on blogger weren't active anymore. So many of you agreed that blogger isn't what it used to be, and that it seems quieter now. I've been thinking about this for a few days now, and I've came up with an idea to try to find more active bloggers and make this a little bit more fun. The idea is pretty simple. I've listed down below a few of my favourite doll related blogs. I invite you all to follow them and leave me some of your favourites in the comment section . Then, if you feel like doing so, copy this image and make a blog post sharing your favourite blogs and invite your readers to do the same thing. Hopefully that way we will find new interesting blogs. Here are some of my favourite blogs: Atelierni Shasha: You probably know her for her beautiful Etsy store (which I highly recommend), but she also has a very interesting blog. She hasn't been ...
