Here are the pictures I took of Anne's prize she sent me,a doll wristlet. Lanie wanted to model it off. :-)

Thank you Anne! :-)

Dress from Jo March's Giveaway

Weeks ago I received the dress I won from Jo March's giveaway at her blog. It is a cute dress and here is Ruthie modeling it for you.






Isn't she cute?






Yesterday I received Anne's prize from her contest. You see the button she made me on my sidebar. Today I will take pictures and post about it tomorrow. :-)





The changes I was talking about was that this blog will be about me and my dolls. I now have a website where it will only be about dolls. On here,I will post about what I have been sewing,crocheting,about things I find intersting,and be like a "behind the sences" or "behind the dolls" type thing. I will still post about my dolls because they are a huge part of my life! I will have a blog day on my website so I will still post on here. Don't worry! :-)

Giveaway At Doll Diaries

Changes

I will be making some changes to the blog soon.Stay tuned.

Halloween Party

Hello!

I have just put up a photo story on what my dolls did for Halloween. You can also see their costumes better than you could on the right. :)

Earlier this week,Molly and Susan took down all the decorations,sad the holiday was over. But then Molly started to whistle 'Jingle Bells' and their spirits perked up again.

Elizabeth has idea forming her head. She is thinking of having a bid Thanksgiving feast. Everyone can dress up all fancy and eat a wide assortment of yummy dishes...and Kathleen can make her famous blueberry pie! Elizabeth is still planing but everyone here at Sweet Pea Cove is in for a treat. :)

Quinlyn's Prize

A few weeks ago,I received Quinlyn's headband prize she made me for her contest over the summer. It is a beautiful multi-colored headband and it is beautiful! Some more pictures are here. The headband is really easy to slip on and looks great.


If you are interested in buying one for your doll,you can visit Quinlyn's Etsy here.


I hope you all had a great Halloween. Soon I will do a Halloween post,I just haven't had time to take pictures. Have a great day!

Been Busy!

Sorry I haven't written in over a month! Ahhh! What is happening to me?! Haha! :)
Well,I've started school(11th grade),been sewing(clothes for me and my dolls),crocheting and loom knitting hats(I'm going to donate them to these people),went to San Antonio,playing/taking pictures of the dolls,and getting ready for Halloween! I have some costumes to get ready for the dolls. I'm going to be a zombie Groucho Marx. :)

My Dad has been putting shelves,that he made for me,in my room.Here is a picture of the book shelves. They go all the way around my bathroom door! It holds all my AG books,fairy books,and many others. There is even room to have Molly's stage and the mini doll house on there.

I have a few more post to make so be sure to stay tuned! :)

Mandy's Bumblebee Shirt

Mandy was in need of some summer clothes so I whipped up this little shirt for her.


It has a denim looking fabric on top and gathered bumblebee fabric at the bottom. Mandy loves this shirt because it is nice and cool on a warm summer day.
She has only a short time to ware it though because fall is pretty much here! Yea! Cold weather!

Shirley's New Outfit

Ta da! Shirley has a new outfit! It consists of a shirt,overalls,jacket,and bonnet.

The back without the jacket.
The front with the jacket.
The back with the jacket.
And pretty Shirley with the bonnet.

This outfit is perfect for the fall (or spring) and is great to play in. Speaking of fall,school is 'just around the corner' (haha! That is a Shirley Temple movie. :) ) or already here. I start school the day after Labor Day :D. When do you start school?

Kathleen's Little Bee Dress

I made Kathleen a dress a while back and wanted to share it with all of you. She needed a dress that looked nice but she could also play in. The print has tiny,little bees on it,as dose the headband. It has a ruffle around the neck to dress it up. Here is the back of the dress:
I just curled Kathleen's hair in these pictures so they are all bouncy and,well...curly! :) I have more outfits to post on here so check back soon! :)

New doll stuff

I was at Wal-Mart,the other day, and they had this section by the toys with Madam Alexander 18" dolls. What is awesome is that their accessories fit well with American Girl dolls and it's cheap. :-)
So I got 2 bean bag chairs for only $10.00! And the dolls fit pretty good in them. Lanie couldn't wait to try them out so here she is.

They are great for surfing the net(or looking at doll sites ;))...
or just hanging out.

At Wal-Mart,there was also dolls,horses,beds,dogs,cats,outfits,a bed room set,a camping,tea party,roller skating,and birthday set,doll carrier,and a chair that sticks on to the table so your doll can eat with you(like that chairs for your doll at the AG place). Everything is pretty cute so check it out.

My Miss Simply AG Prize

Today I went to go get the mail and guess what was there? My Miss Simply AG prize! I got a t-shirt for my doll and me,a doll bag,and a doll tiara. Addy was really excited and wanted to wear her shirt right this minute. :-)

Everything is so great! Thank you Amy!

Your dolls can clean!

Today I went to Wal-Mart and my mom saw these cleaning cloths/mittens that were tiny. We both thought they would be perfect size for the dolls to ware on their feet so they can dust the floor. Kathleen wanted to use them right away (and to be the model :-)).

Here is a close up. They fit really good on her feet. And it is lots of fun to clean the doll house when you are using your doll to help you clean.


Kathleen decided to figure skate around the living room while she dusted. The dusters worked super good it made the floor clean and shiney. :-)

HAPPY 4th of JULY!!!

New photo story

Hello! I just made a new photo story about Molly,Emily,and Susan taking a trip to Hawaii. You can check it out here http://picasaweb.google.com/felicityfairy1994/ATripToHawaii#
That's all for now. Bye!

The Goings On

Well,during the week Felicity and Kaya went out horseback riding. Kaya was boasting about her horse and Felicity took it as if she was putting down Penny. In the end they decided to have a horse race to see who is the better horsewoman. So ever since that day they have been training their horses like crazy.

Lanie wanted to do some rock climbing on Thursday but she didn't want to climb all the way up the mountain... So she decided to do house climbing instead. She her ropes,tided them to a chair on the 3rd story,let the rope out the window and started climbing. She scared Mandy,Jenny,and Logan while they were eating lunch,looking out the window.

That is all the interesting things happening. All the other dolls are doing chores or doing whatever they want. I wonder how the race will go....

Josefina and Princess Tiana

On Monday,I want to the American Girl store and got.... JOSEFINA!!! Below are some pictures of her. My mom and I decided to get her now since we are going to San Antonio!!!! Yea!



Last weekend,I made (finally!) the Princess Tiana dress I've been dying to make. I made it freehand and well,I'm pretty darn proud of it. :) Addy loves it. Here are some pictures of her in it.



I have also entered the Miss Simply AG Contest with Addy. So click on the icon on the top and it will lead you to the website where you can look at all the entries(and mine). :)
That's all for this post. Bye!

Kathleen's new dress,Earth day,and birthdays

HAPPY EARTH DAY!!!!

AND
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FELICITY,MOLLY,AND SHIRLEY!!!!
Felicity's birthday was yesterday,Molly's birthday is today,and Shirley's birthday is tomorrow. So all the dolls have been partying these days.
Even with all this partying,Lanie doesn't forget the Earth. She was watching closely at what everyone was throwing away at the party to make sure it couldn't be recycled or thrown into the compost pile.
Last week,Kathleen got a new dress(that I made :) ). She was so excited about receiving it she immediately put it on and wanted to go outside to take some pictures.

While taking pictures,Kathleen spotted a bunny and stopped to say "Hello!"




Kathleen thinking deeply.
That's it for this post! Bye!
