Doll Clothes

This is a picture of all my dolls' Christmas outfits on my bed,lined up in historical order. That is a lot of dressing to do. But it's fun!

Doll Finds

In October,my family and I went to a few Antique stores and I lucky enough to find some doll things. The best thing I found was a Flower and Plants stand. It is so adorable! And perfect size for the dolls. It was only $30,too so I just couldn't pass it up. I also got 2 doll plates and a stool for $5. I think it was a pretty good day. :-)

Here is a new photo story featuring Mini Kaya! Enjoy!

Kit's Trunk

Back in March I took pictures of Kit's trunk to post here and now here they are!

Outside

Inside

Top with clothes

Drawers with clothes

All the clothes fit in pretty well(Ruthie's clothes are in there,too). It is a very cute little trunk,perfect for Kit. But sometimes I do wish it was bigger because I love to sew 1930's clothes and there is limited room. But all the AG outfits and a few I had made fit well in the trunk.

Christmas

Merry Christmas! I hope you had a good one!

This year for Christmas I received...Kanani! Yea! She is such a beautiful doll! I love her LONG hair! I also got her accessories, chair, Luau outfit, Aloha outfit, Pj's, Swimsuit, Paddleboard set, and seal. I also got the Marie-Grace and Cecile book set with mini Marie-Grace, and outfits for Rapunzel(Pj's, ballet, and ice-skating), a wardrobe to keep it all in, a Time-Turner(like in Harry Potter), Little Mermaid doll and her sisters, and a Trans-Siberian Orchestra CD set. You can see all the pictures in my album here.

Ceclie and Marie-Grace

After mowing and washing the car all summer and saving and saving all the money I earned,my mom brought me to the American Girl store so I could get...Ceclile and Marie-Grace!!!


They are so beautiful! Cecile's hair is extreamly curly and Marie-Grace's hair is done so nicely. I also got their accessories,Marie-Grace's Party Outfit,Cécile's Special Dress,Fancy Dress & Fairy Costume,Marie-Grace's Skirt Set,Cécile's Parlor Outfit,Fairy Costume Accessories,Cécile's Parrot & Games,and Kanani's 'Ukulele Set. All the outfits are adorable and I love Kanani's ukulele(now my dolls and I can play together ;-) )

When I purchased them I was given a little box of truffles fir buying the dolls you get a box per doll so I got two of them. I thought that was really nice! Truffles are so yummy! :-)

Disney Blog Party

Beast'sbelle is having a blog party on her blog and all the questions are about Disney so I totally have to enter. :-) Here are my answers to her questions.

1. What is your all-time favorite animated Disney film and why?

This is really tough. It is between 'Tinkerbell','Tangled',and 'The Princess and the Frog'. I think 'Tangled'. I love the story,hair,and music. And she is the most like me.

2. What is your all-time favorite Disney/Pixar film and why? [Note: I realize that questions 1 and 2 may overlap...I just thought this would make it easier for those of us who have favorites in both categories. ;}]

Favorite Disney/Pixar...probably 'Toy Story'. I love the whole story of the toys coming to life. I love ALL the Pixar films. They make you laugh,cry,sit on the edge of your seat,and care for the characters that they created. They are master storytellers.

3. What was the first animated Disney film you remember seeing?

They aren't really that animated but the Disney Sing-A-Longs. I remember watching them at my grandma's house. For a true animated film,The Little Mermaid come to mind.

4. It's talent night at your school/job/etc...You have to perform a Disney song. Which one would you choose?

"When Will My Life Begin","Almost There",or "Part of Your World".

5. Name your top 4 Disney heroes or heroines (or any character, for that matter) and talk a little bit about why you admire them.

Tinkerbell(I love fairies and she is always herself)
Rapunzel(she is alot like me)
Peter Pan(he never has to grow up,("Can I go to Neverland with you,Peter?"))
Tiana(she is hard working and likes cooking)
*bonus* You can't leave out MICKEY MOUSE! He stands for goodness and you can't feel anything but happiness when you see him. :-)

6. Who, in your opinion, is the most hideous Disney villain of all time?

Chernobog(he is head of the Overtakers)

7. If you could spend a day with any Disney character, who would you choose? How would you spend your day?

You are killing me! I have not idea! I think Mickey Mouse(because "it all started with a mouse" ;-) ) so I can learn all about Walt Disney and we could go visit all the other characters and go to Disney World. :-)

8. Which Disney character is the most like you?

Rapunzel! We both have long hair and we both like to sew,knit,read,do crafts,and lots of other things. :-)

9. What, in your opinion, is one of the greatest movie moments in an animated Disney film?

The happy endings. And how they are drawn,so beautiful!

10. If you could pick which film Disney would make next, what would the film be?
KINGDOM KEEPERS!!!! I love the books! They are my favorite book series. The first book I read 3 times and I am about to read it again. :-)

This was so much fun! I couldn't help but smile while doing this because Disney makes me so happy. I love Disney! :-D

My Rapunzel Dress

I've been sewing lately and my latest creation is my Rapunzel dress based on Rapunzel's dress from 'Tangled'. I made the pattern and sewed it up myself. Now for what everyone wants to see,pictures!



The front. Lacing it up takes a while to do.




Side view(you can see my hair better)



The back,complete with back panel with buttons



Posing with a frying pan("Frying pans...Who knew,right?")

This dress was a lot of work but tons of fun to do. I still have to do the embroidery but I'm going to give myself til the end of summer to do that. Thanks for looking! :-)

My Birthday

My birthday was yesterday! My mom made me homemade cinnimon rolls,hashbrown casserole(for dinner)and a honeybun cake. Yum! Thank you Mommy!
My brother made me an awesome birthday sign with 'Adventure Time' and 'Regular Show' characters all over it. It was really awesome.
For presents,I got Ivy,Addy's bed,trunk,table and chairs,Molly's Tea Set,Julie's locker,and mini Felicity(the 25th anniversary one) from my parents. And I got Julie from Grandma last Friday.




Me with my presents.


I think had a pretty good birthday. It was also Rebecca's birthday. We were birthday buddies! :-D

Blog Party Questionare

Of,Horsefeathers is having a blog party. Here are my answers to some of the questions.

• Favorite season, and why?

I love all the seasons! They are each special in their own way. I love the cold of winter,the aliveness of spring,the warmth and the do-nothingness of summer and chrispness of fall.

• How would you describe your personal style?

Vintage or vintage with a modern twist. But I also dress modern. It depends on what I feel like.

• What's one weird thing you can do? (The stranger the better!)

When I cross my eyes,one eye stays straight while the other will look in a different direction.

• Rain or shine?

Shine,but I love rainy days,too because they are so cozy.

• Favorite music?

I love Big Band and rock and pop. And Disney music!

• Who do you admire/look up to?
  

I look up to my mom and dad,the American Girl characters,Walt Disney,Rapunzel,and many others.

• You've just won an unlimited lifetime supply of... what?
  

AMERICAN GIRL THINGS!!!!!!

• If you were an animal, what would you be?

I would want to be a horse or a bunny. I just like those animals. :)

• If you knew you were going to die in a year, what would you do with your time?

I would spend as much time with my family and friends as I could at Disney World!My dolls would be there too,of coarse. ;)

• You're now a gazillionaire... where do you go to spend your money?

I will spend it on American Girl,books,sewing and crocheting supplies,and trips to Disney World.

• Classical music: love it or hate it?
  I guess love it. I like the fast classical songs and classic classical music,like Mozart.
  
• Phobias?

I'm scared of needles and things that might poke my eye. They just make me feel unconfortable. :-P

• Hop on a plane and go live somewhere for a year... where is it, and why?

Disney World! I feel so happy there and it is like time stops,magic rushes over you,and all you can do is smile your heart out. :) I wish I was there right now.

• Are you an extrovert or an introvert?

Introvert.

• Would you/do you perform on stage?

No way! I would be too scared.


On another note,today is my birthday! I will try to post pictures of all my presents later this week.

Here is me with the dolls. I also made the shirt I'm wearing. Thanks for looking!

What I've Been Up To

Sorry for the lack of updates. I've been really busy,especially these last 8 days because I've been crocheting a dragon for my cousin's birthday. (He loves dragons) I saw the pattern from April Draven and knew I just had to make it for him. So I've been crocheting every chance I got(in that car,walking at the park,watching TV at night(but I always do that),at the Civil War museum,everywhere!). I finally got it done 10-15 minutes after we parked to go to the party. So I am really proud of my dragon,and wanted to post pictures of it so you all can see.




















Here is me with the dragon to show how big it is. :) Now I'm sad that the dragon is gone but my cousin was super happy! :-) Yea! And I will just make me one,so it's all good. :-)







Thanks for looking everyone! I've also been making Mario,Luigi,and Toads for my brothers and friends. Now I'm going to be working on more crochet luvies and other things for birthdays(and for me ;-) ). I will be sure to post pictures of everything I make for you to see. :-)
