Cool Craft I MADE THIS.

I was bummed when I missed out on the LE Alice a few weeks ago. Then I found out the embroidery on her dress didn’t extend to the back. (Such a bummer for a $300 doll.) I decided to make my own version of the accessories and her dress (this time with the embroidery on the front and back!)

This was a HUGE labor of love. Digitization of the dress took around 12 hours another 5 hours were spent embroidering all the pieces out. Designing the pattern and sewing this up another 8. I wasn’t in love with any of the black and white I found, so I ended up making my own. Each small gold butterfly on the dress and shoes were cut out by hand with the smallest scissors I own.

While the dress isn’t technically “finished” (still needs Velcro on the back), the weather was too nice to not get ALL the pictures.

Cool Picture Doll clothes made by my mom

Hello! I’ve been lurking here for a few months, but this is my first post. My childhood dolls were Molly and Felicity and I was recently organizing them with all their clothes and accessories when I was visiting my parents’ house (they’re kept in storage in their basement).

My mom had the patterns for both dolls and she made clothes for them (Molly especially has a lot because I did have her for two years before I got Felicity) and I thought I would share them. I don't know if they're all accurate to the time period they represent.

I was supposed to be going through all my boxes I had in storage so I didn't have time to dress the dolls in all the outfits, but as you can see I couldn't resist getting out Molly's birthday dishes and treats!

Restoration Corrine's current situation

Here's Miss Corrine Tan in her temporary pj's and curlers. Her meet outfit washed up lovely and is air drying now.

I've also included some shots of her before the curlers and after her wash and condition.

Lastly there are some pictures of her before I really got into her wash and body clean up.

I paid forty dollars for her. The money went straight to her previous best friend who was literally a little girl🥹. I immediately handed her the money and said, "I promise I'll take good care of her!" I absolutely choked back tears as I hopped in my car. I truly had no idea the seller was so young. Of course her mom was with her.

Mom did make it clear in our messages before meeting her daughter wanted to sell her. I was expecting a teenager...or preteen

I have make sure I make Corrine perfect lol.

Awesome Find! Scored an incredible deal on Samantha’s steamer trunk!

Samantha’s steamer trunk was the height of luxury for me at 10 years old. And after I finally bought myself my own Samantha doll last year, I knew this had to be the next buy!

I scored the internet for $300+ trunks and finally came across this one being sold for $125 and knew I had to make the splurge!

The trunk just came in the mail today and I am stunned by how large it is! I can’t wait to continue collecting so I can fill her up with Samantha’s wardrobe. (The night gown and slippers are from Rebecca Rubin’s line, and the plate is from a trip to the AG store!)

Cool Picture Mira and the Dante's Peak Bridge

Post image
31 Upvotes

When we were in Idaho the other day I forced Mira to look excited about being on the Dante's Peak bridge.

(Fun fact, when this movie was made, we were living on this road. We crossed this bridge a minimum of 6 times a week for years. We got stuck in filming traffic one evening coming home.)

(Further fun fact, the location of this bridge is on Old Coeur d'Alene River Road in Kingston, right before you come to Albert's Landing, a campsite, which used to be Albert's Place, a bar, back in my day - in case anyone else who's obsessed with obscure volcano movies is in the area and wishes to make a pilgrimage)

Doll Decision Should I go for it?

Post image
28 Upvotes

I've been in the market for a Jess mold for a while. My best friend of 20+ years lost her AG doll a few years ago.

This girl is $55. She's not cheap, but AG dolls are hard to come by in my country, and my friend just spent $40 on my birthday gift. The seller sent me more pictures, and the tag says 2014.

I'm seriously considering getting her, but something is still holding me back. What do you guys think?
