Review Tuesday

Hi! This Review Tuesday I am reviewing the Frosty Fair Isle set, which, conveniently, is on sale for $15! Here is an overview- 

This is a really cute set and is perfect for winter activities. 

 The boot's are made out of a fleece material with a plastic sole and embroidered snowflakes on the sides. 

 I am not a big fan of the plastic sole's but it is much better than just a fabric bottom. 

The snowflakes are a cute touch although I have never seen something with this before on boot's.  

 The leggings are your basic design and are great for mix and match.

 On the back their is a purple American Girl tag. 

And inside is another tag also. 

 The sweater is my favorite piece in the set, I love the design and the fact that it is blue! 

 A blue american girl tag is located on the front right. 

 The sweater closes in back with no snag Velcro. The sweater is very soft and is really nice quality. 

Unfortunately the sweater stitching is sort of unraveling :(  

 The headband is my least favorite part, it is a really pretty color, that also matches the boots but hardly stretches at all. 

 The headband is really hard to get on the doll, especially one with bangs. 

 Of course AG has to tag the headband and it sticks out..  

 Overall this is really cute, definitely worth the price of $15 and great for those who yet have a lot of winter clothes for dolls (like me!) Thanks for reading!

Sewing Sunday

Today's project is a peplum skirt. This is basically a tryout to see if it look's right with some leftover fabric I have had for a year. I think it is a success! 

 I also let Marie-Graces hair out of her original hairstyle and I love how long and thick it is! I can't wait to try out different hairstyles.  This was really quick to make and along with a few improvements I will add this to the list of things I want to sew for a release.  Thanks for looking-

AGPC Season One Challenge One

When Maddie from Dolls On My Mind announced this season's start and theme I was excited, I participated in her tryout season and I learned a lot :) The theme for this challenge is "About Me" for this season you choose a doll to take pictures of in all the challenges, last time I chose Kirsten and this time I am going to choose Rebecca.  Here is my entry- 

 

Rebecca loves crafts of any kind and her idea of a perfect Saturday is walking around Joann's and then going home to start a new project, all while sipping tea. Today was what she imagined it would be, milling around the yarn section and then deciding on two soft skeins of yarn, picking up another journal as she ran out and at the last minute a beginners pattern of a skirt plus some fabric.  She can't wait to join Kirsten in beginning to sew! Rebecca knows most of the staff at Joann's and as she checks out she says hello to her friend Felicity while handing over a coupon. 

 Good luck to everyone who entered!

Around the Dollhouse

After taking down the Christmas decorations (finally!) the girls decided to decorate for Valentines day as it was a boring Saturday and they had nothing to do.  They decided to decorate with heart's around each of their bed's for now and over the week add more decorations.  Saige and Mia, however, had very different opinions as to how they should decorate their wall.

 "It's all wrong!" Mia exclaimed pointing to the wall, "I think we should do an "M" for Mia.", Saige, who had more patience calmly explained that they were both sharing this wall and that their weren't enough heart's for them both to spell out their initial. Finally hearing what Saige was saying Mia suggested that since their were three for each of them she would put her's going to the right and Saige could put her's to the left.

 After working that out they began to discuss whether or not Macaroni and Cheese or Hot Dog's were most popular (their conversations can get very random, especially when they seem to have the opposite view on everything, they enjoy it though)

As Kirsten had moved to her own bed Marie Grace was happily planning out her design, a complicated pattern that would reflect her pink bed, after all, besides her birthday, Valentines was one of her most favorite holidays. She genuinely enjoyed seeing the best in people and making them feel better. 

 "Their" she said as she placed the last heart onto the wall,

 Saige glanced across the room and sighed, Marie Grace lately was beginning to outshine her artistic ability. 

 Kirsten preferred purple and that showed as she quickly pieced together a "K" for her name. 

 Rebecca was just pleased to join in on the fun and decorate. 

 She chose to decorate her rather large wall with randomly placed hearts. 

 Felicity placed her hearts going from biggest to smallest. 

 The Christmas decor had been put away and now rested a simple white tea set with a pink tablecloth, above a banner of paper snowflakes hung. 

 Kirsten sat down to read one of her books assigned from School, comfortably resting on the homemade rug by the fireplace. 

 

Rebecca and Marie Grace met to discuss Valentines Party supplies as both had been appointed to party organizers by their sisters. Both thoroughly enjoyed this topic as each loved to be organized and especially loved to decorate and host parties. 

 "Let's see, we need paper,glitter and glue for the invitations, Kirsten volunteered to make cookies, the house is decorated, anything else we need?" Rebecca said as she named things off her list 

 Marie Grace though for a moment and then decided they would need candy and with that they headed off to the store. 

  Felicity picked up an instrument as spunky as her personality,  she even named it, calling it Penny ii 

"Wow, this thing is heavy, do you think I should put it in a case?" Felicity wondered to herself.. 

Thanks for reading, I hope you have a great rest of your day!
