Nearly through the third week of Liberty Jane Pattern Academy, and I've started preparing to put my LJ Design Academy / Pattern Academy combined knowledge to use and make my designs a reality!
While taking Liberty Jane's Design Academy, I was pretty stoked to learn I could actually design doll clothing, something I'd never tried before! I did use to. . . [node:read-more:link]
At the end of week 1 of the LJ Pattern Academy and all I can say is that I'm likin' it, not to mention learning. [node:read-more:link]

This is facsinating and also very true. I love historical accuracy, which of course very few ever get right, though I can understand why Disney would want to make the princess wardrobes more accessible to the general public.

My latest treasure hunt has been for boy dolls! With Valentines Day coming up and some super cute ideas for V-Day dresses and outfits, I wanted a little boyfriend romance for some of my girls.

I can't believe Hannah of Hannah's World | Hannah and her Dog fame popped in on eBay and I can't believe no one nabbed her the first time around. I didn't have the funds so I watched her go by-by with a sigh and a tear. But sure enough, she came back around at a lower price, and up to the last minute no one bid on her again, so I was able to get her! I'm so happy!

Did I just buy what I think is a MAG #26 on eBay for somewhere in the $20 range?!
I have been admiring this little beauty with her bouncy brown curls and amber eyes since, well, forever! Well let's face it, my budget is pretty limited and I haven't bought that many American Girl dolls in general; I usually stick to the lower end dolls for my clothing models. I definitely didn't have any AGs who looked like this girl. . . [node:read-more:link]
