New Outfits

Here are some new outfits that are for my AG dolls. I thought it was time to post some more pictures, so here they are!

Here is Rebecca in a new-ish outfit. The shirt is from Target, my sewing teacher made the skirt (It's just like the one that Rebecca has in her Hanukkah outfit), and her tights and shoes are from Rebecca's Meet Outfit.

And here is Kimi, modeling a very summery outfit (I know... in the middle of winter!). She is wearing the shirt and shoes that come in the JLY gardening outfit, and then the cargo pants are ones that I made with a Hawaiian print. Also, there are little slits on the bottom with bows on top of them.

So, I hope that everyone has had a nice weekend. Back to school on Monday! -Hal

My Birthday

Yesterday was my birthday, and I got so much stuff! I took pictures of the doll-related things and put them on the blog:

I got Chrissa's Craft Studio. It is so cute! It is much more awesome in person than on the website... believe me! There is a sewing machine (and I love to sew), yarn, knitting needles, pencils, scissors, thread, an organizer, a bowl (that her dad apparently made), a notebook for designing, a pincushion, and a measuring tape.

Here's the sewing machine up close. When you turn it on, the presser foot moves up and down. It is so fun to play with, and I think that all of my dolls are enjoying it already.

I got two Barbie dolls! The one on the left is "Sales Resistance" and Lucy's in her traditional blue and white polka-dotted dress. The one on the right is the one I got for Hanukkah, but I figured I'd put it in anyway, because it is so cute! This one is from "Lucy Gets a Paris Gown". That is my favorite episode!

Talking about Hanukkah, I'll make a post once Hanukkah is over and show all of my doll-related gifts. Also, I wanted to tell everyone about a book I got for my birthday. It's called Do Hard Things and it's a nonfiction book about how teenagers are actually using up the best years of their lives being lazy. I highly recommend this book. It's really good!

Happy holidays to everyone! -Hal

The Dress I Made

Here's the dress that I'm going to wear to American Girl Place! It took me a couple of hours to make it, and I am so proud of myself!!

Here's a far-away version. Sorry it's a bit blurry, but it was hard to take pictures of.

Here's an up-close version. I chose the black and the hot pink so that it would match American Girl Place colors.

I hope everyone likes it! Pictures will be posted again soon!!!

Opinion #2 (Kinda Small) and Other Random Updates

Hello everyone! I can't believe that its been 4 days since my last post, and it is only 1 day until December! It's my favorite month.


Pictures are coming, I can assure you!!! I have so much to take pictures of! The pajama (gala) party, the things I got at my sewing teacher's boutique, the dress that I made for both my doll and me to go to AG place, and all the new stuff I'll be making! : )


I have an opinion to ask of you: Have you ever been to AG place (it can be one of those boutique/cafe AG places)? If so, what was your favorite thing?


Mine is the historical doll section. It's so neat!

Thanksgiving

Okay... so, we've found the camera battery charger. We've got the camera. We've got the stuff to take pictures of. But we can't find the battery! : (

My dolls, in anticipation of Thanksgiving, each found something to be thankful for.

• Lissie: I'm thankful for all of my friends
• Elizabeth: I'm thankful for all of my pretty dresses
• Julie: I'm thankful for my new scarf, to keep me warm
• Kimi: I'm thankful that I'm just like Hal!!
• Rebecca: I'm thankful that it's almost winter

So... the FPAfG gala has been changed... to a pajama party! All of the girls are really excited to go and they have already picked out their nicest pajamas.

My I Love Lucy wallet has come! Pictures are on the way (they'll be here as soon as I find the battery for the camera). It is sooo cute! I got it on eBay (www.ebay.com). You can find really cool American Girl, I Love Lucy, and tons of other stuff there.

My sewing teacher's doll boutique has passed, and I got a whole bunch of new stuff. I got a quilt, pillows, a skirt, a hat, and a scarf... all for my dolls. I was so happy when I came home with my bag full of stuff!

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!!!!

PS- There are only a couple of days left to vote on my poll. Please chip in!!!! : D

Updates

Hello, Everyone!

Here are some updates:

1. I bought an I Love Lucy wallet, and it should be coming in the mail in a couple of days. I am so excited for it to come!!!!
2. The charger (to charge the battery for my mom's camera) is lost!! I won't be able to post any pictures on the blog until it is found and the battery is charged. : (
3. The Boutique, held by my sewing teacher, is coming up fast! I am saving up my money to buy a whole bunch of American Girl clothes. I am sooo excited!
4. The Flower Petal Academy For Girls (That's a really long name, so I call it FPAfG) Gala is coming up soon! I will be there to take pics (if the battery is recharged by then!!)!
5. My little sister is pretty much ready to read AG books. What book (series) do you think is appropriate for her? I don't want them to be too intense (Like in Meet Kirsten, how her friend dies). I know that I brought this topic up at the beginning of my blog, but now that I have more followers, I thought I would get more feedback. What do you say?
6. I was just wondering: Who's your favorite American Girl Historical doll? I have four favorites: Felicity, Elizabeth, Rebecca, and Julie.

I will try to post some pictures soon!! -Hal

Hello, Again

Hi everyone at Dolls, Dolls, and More Dolls! Here are some updates:

1. The final day in Flower Petal Academy for Girls's first semester is almost here. They will be holding a gala, and I will definitely be there to take pictures of all the girls in their fancy dresses! : )
2. My sewing teacher's "Boutique" is coming up soon; all of my dolls are looking forward to getting new outfits!
3. Please vote on my new poll! I want to know if you think that AG will retire any more historical dolls. Also, I am really disappointed that they are retiring Kirsten!
4. Pictures are coming!

I will write again soon, hopefully with some pictures! -Hal

Halloween and More

Hello, everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in a long time. I tried to post some Halloween pictures of my dolls, but they wouldn't work. It may be a while before it does, but don't worry; they're coming!

The post has ended, and 12 people voted. That is awesome! Please vote on my next poll. Here are the results for "What is your favorite month?":

1st- December and October
2nd- July and May
3rd- August and September
(All of the other months were not chosen.)

In a couple of weeks, my sewing teacher is having her annual "Boutique", where she sells all of the doll clothes that she has made. I am currently saving up my money to spend on stuff there. It's all so cute!

Hopefully, I'll be able to post some pictures soon! -Halley

New Stuff

Guess what? I was at a thrift shop yesterday (looking for some cheap Halloween goodies) and I came across Kit's Pajamas (the blue ones) for... guess how much! $5!!!! I couldn't believe my eyes! There was nothing wrong with them; they were just missing a button on the pants. But who cares when they are so cheap?

Also, I finished my dress (and my doll's, too) yesterday! They are black with a pink ribbon around the waist. They are too cute! I can't wait to wear them to AG Place! I will take pictures of them ASAP.

-Hal

PS- Do you think that I should get a new format for my website?

Trick or Treat!

Hi Everyone! This year for Halloween, I'm going to be a witch! And next year... (I know... I'm already planning for next year!) I'm going to be Lucy (from I Love Lucy) when she wears a feedsack dress. It is going to be so funny! I'm going to buy burlap from a fabric store, and make the dress. I am so excited! What are you going to be for Halloween?

Happy Halloween, if I don't blog sooner to the 31st!
-Hal

New Outfits

Hello everyone! I finally got the camera's battery to be charged, so right away I took some pictures. Here they are:

Here's Kimi, my Just Like You doll. I made the shirt (and got the pants at the AG store) and it was really hard. The pleats were so tiny, they were tough to sew. I think she looks like she is right out of the 50's!

Here's Julie in a very spunky yellow and white polka-dotted tunic. (She came in the pants.) It was really easy to make, and fun, too!

And last but not least is Rebecca. This is the dress she wore for Yom Kippur. I added Felicity's sash (from her summer gown) to finish the outfit. Doesn't she look dazzling?

Kimi the Cook!

Here's Kimi again, and this time she's ready to cook. She's wearing a dress that I got from Michael's (www.michaels.com) and an apron that I made this morning.

I absolutely love the pattern with the teapots and the hearts. It's very kitchen-y, don't you think?

Julie and Her New Dress!!

Hi everyone! I just got done with making my first American Girl dress. I decided it looked like it could possibly have been worn in the 1970's, so I put it on Julie. Here she is!
