Day 2: Dolly Wardrobes!

I'm baaaaaack!
You are reading Day 2 of my Christmas presents!
Here are some photos of that:

 :D Ta-da! Now on to the finer details.
The tiny doll with the red hair is named Anna, and she was made by Mimi, and her web address is,
http://www.mimiville-artworks.blogspot.com/
The doll in the middle with black hair, her name is Tallulah, and I made her a while ago for my older sister.

Okay, the purple dress was one I started for myself a while ago, and simply finished for my little sister's doll, since she had requested a dress.

The second photograph shows Tallulah wearing a snappy tie-up dress I made for my older sister. I actually didn't use a pattern for this one. :) I just found two pieces of fabric that looked fashionable together, and sewed them up on the sewing machine I use.

Next, we have the red berry tank top dress. It is modeled by the lovely Anna. The dress was meant to be a skirt for a "Stacie" doll, but it was too skinny, and had no snaps. Thus, I sewed a back seam, so it just slips right on, I added straps, tightened the front seam, and...
VOILA! There you have it.

Well, for tomorrow, I have sort of random gifts, but it also includes a how-to.

Day 1 of Presents: Turtle Crossing!

Welcome, welcome, welcome!
It is I, the buzzy, the bouncy, the bubbly Bee!
I have come to show you all the felt turtles that have acted as stocking stuffers for my family.
Behold!

Time for a tiny turtle history lesson. The first turtle I ever made was the the golden one. I started it the Christmas of 2010, but didn't finish it until 2011, since I had shoved it into the back of my shelf. :P
Although it didn't show up in the picture, I made a lucky seven on its back out of sequins, since turtle shells have designs on them... sort of.
After I finished the first one, I decided that ALL of my family would like turtles. (FYI, I put the first one in my older sister's stocking!)

Next I made the green one for my father. It has a question mark stitched on its back. (I was kinda tired the night I made that one, and I couldn't think of a better design right then.)

After that, I made the purple one, which in time, would be given to my mother. I accidentally cut its head a little small, but no matter.
A purple swirl adorns it shell.

Hmm... let me think now... I believe I made the friendly pink turtle next, as I planned the one for my brother. I gave the pink one to my younger sister. This also does not show up in the photo, but the pink one is two colors of pink. :)

After I finished planning the colors for my brother's awkward turtle, I started it. This one is a bit different since I made the design on it out of felt, not sequins. Awkward, no?

Last but not least, I made the turtle for my grandmother. It is very red. And burgundy. I also used burgundy for its shell.

By the way, I used Sharpie brand marker for their faces. (I am the queen of non sequiturs, ha ha!)

Anyway, back to life. I hope you enjoyed hearing about the turtles, and um.... um...
:D Say cheese!

P.S. I remember my lines now! Come back tomorrow for more awesome presents!

Lola, and behold!

Hello, this post is by Livvie, (AKA Olivia Green), and I have some exciting news to share.

You know how my mother runs a small downtown corner shop?
Well, we used to live in the back of it, and it was very squashed, even if it was just my mom, my dad, my twin brother Olive, and me living there. 


BUT, (here comes the big news!), we decided we are going to live in a duplex with another family. 
The cool thing about it, is that they have two twin girls, that are nearly my age! (I hope they're nice! :p ) 
They seem pretty okay, but I always see them with their parents, so there's no way of telling.

Still, I took the chance, and invited them to post on the blog.  One of the girls' name is Lola, (that's what the title's about), and the other's name is Miho. (Crazy name, huh?)

Apparently they're from Kau'i, Hawaii, but Linzy says she and Bee brought them back from the American Girl store.
Anyway, at least we speak the same language, and I haven't heard them throw in any ho'opono's or humuhumu-whatevers, yet.

Well, cross your fingers for me.

P.S.1 Bee is taking pictures of the Christmas things, so maybe she'll post soon-ish.

we traveled through four whole states! (although in three of 'em we only stopped for gas) we saw all sorts of places and im sure all the other dolls are reaaally envious


we went to an AG store (I hated seeing so many dolls in boxes) and i got a t-shirt that says the city its in and everything


im all like "woohooowoohoo!"
and bee's all like "shush! we can't let anyone hear you!"
and im all like "it is EPICAL up in here!"
and shes all like "be epic a little quieter please"
bee is so unreasonable.


we met this really nice lady there too. she talked to us for a bit and was really friendly
i of course slept through the whole conversation but bee listened like a good human should.


the trip was very good but of course the humans had to bring their big smelly dogs and through the last part of the trip the smaller one wouldnt stop crying

anyway after Christmas bee says she's going to post about the Christmas presents she made so stay tuned! 
linzy doll (the unique one that <3's justin bieber!)

Random News from New School President!

(Drum roll please!!) Last spring, I, Molly McIntire swooped into the school, swept up the majority of the votes, and I, the patient Molly, waited AAAAAAAALLLLLL through the llllllooooooonnnng, hot summer, 'til FINAAAALLY I was inaugurated.
Thank you, thank you, my big braggy moment is over. Okay, let me shed some light. Last spring, our school had student body president elections. Edith and her 'friend' (toady) ran, Kaya and I think... maybe Jenna? ran, and then Rilla and I ran.
Yes, Rilla is my new vice president. I am soooooo excited! And also my wrist has healed, and that's why I'm typing again. :D Epical!

It was really hilarious because last week, Linzy went to this sleep over with Bee, (I wasn't invited which I was kind of ticked about :P) but when she came home, she was... weird. She staggered into my house and flopped down on the sofa. She was giggling like she had no sense (which might be true!)
Linzy just wouldn't stop laughing! (It's a good thing I was the only one home, since Ricky totally would have freaked.)
Eventually she stopped laughing, and moaned, "I so tired."
"So what's wrong, Linzy?" I asked.
"Sugar," she replied. Her eyes looked like she had garbage bags under them. Probably she didn't go to sleep at all. She began again. "And Cooking Mama, and dancing, and singing, and popsicles, and and and..."
I will leave off all her 'ands', hiccups, and giggles.
I pushed her all the way back to her house, and all the time she wouldn't stop talking about how much her head hurt.
Wow. The thing is, I'm actually used to her acting like she's a maniac. (Don't worry, she was fine after the sugar's effects wore off.)

Anyway, back to my public servantiness.
So far, I have accomplished is making a reserved area for playing football in the school lawn.
I bet your asking, "Hey, I thought this was a girl's school?"
News flash! Libby LOVES football. And anyway, whenever we have a play or a basketball game, all our brothers come bounding in, trampling all of the pretty grass. Mr. Murphy the janitor gets awfully touchy when it comes to that grass! 
I put the rec area at the back of the school, so it isn't very noticeable. 

I also got the "No posting of signs" signs, and the "Stay off the grass" signs re-painted. They look great! ........ Well, sort of. 
Now they're covered in smileys, hearts, peace signs, and rainbows because I gave the art class that job. 
Well that wraps things up nicely!
