Christmas Goodies and more...

Well, hubby was awesome this year. (Well, he is always awesome.) He actually got me #21 who I named Angelica Grace, #41 who I named Lacey Emma, sporty sneakers, ballet flats, Molly's saddle shoes, the school days outfit, the doll jewellry book and a hairbrush! I will post the link to my picassa story albums once I have them up and posted, as well as pictures on here.

Also, I am probably going to be getting Lanie and her accessories on Friday. One other thing, I have Kirsten on her way to me from Ebay, so this year has been a very good AG year! It's also my first AG year and I am very pleased. :)

Merry Christmas Everyone

Just wanting to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! I hope everyone gets what they want and is safe. We will be going to my mother's tomorrow for lunch, stay there for awhile, then come home.

On my wish list was a #21 and #41, plus some clothes. I will let you all know tomorrow what I receive! :)

Just put in my AG Christmas list to hubby...

Well, hubby thought that he would not be able to get me an AG doll for Christmas, because for some reason, he thought they were about $200. He decided to look through one of the catalogs and realized that they were under $100 and he said that maybe he could swing it! Then he realized he had more money than he thought so I am getting two dolls, several pairs of shoes and an outfit!! LOL I can't wait until they get here. I already have names picked out for them. :)

I will be sure to post pics of them when I get them as well. I still have to learn how to post pics properly with this blogger as I don't like them all willy nilly on the page.

I am still working on Noah's Sub, and asked hubby for a new memory card for Christmas as well so that I can actually take pics of my dolls and cross stitching without having to delete anything. :P

A little bummed today..

Today is the 14th anniversary of my best friends death. She died when she was 19 and 24 days after my 20th birthday. She was diabetic and never got a handle on it. She was an awesome person. We were inseparable for 4 years. We were closer than sisters. I am a much better person for having known her. I miss her soo much, though. It hurts. My daughter is named after her and I did get my first tattoo in honor of her. My third tattoo will also honor her.

Halloween Costume Swaps

I had entered two different costume/fall outfit swaps for Halloween this year on two different boards. Now that the outfits have been received and the pictures have been posted, I can post them all here.

First, I made a fairy costume for jchappa on AGPlaythings message board. Please do not mind the picture of my mom, I caught her blinking and turning her head at the same time! She is not drunk!! LOL

Next, I made a gypsy costume for Katie on Afghans message board. This time, I did not take a picture of my mom. She was mortified that I had taken the first one!!

I also received two outfits. The first was from vking on the AGPlaythings board for a gorgeous witch outfit that included a dress, apron, hat, cape, bag and broom. I love it!

And last but not least, I received a gorgeous fall outfit from Amy on Afghans message board. She sent a tiered skirt, short sleeved top and fleece jactket. Julie and I love it!! And of course, my one and only AG Julie is modelling everything!! :)

Been busy lately...

I have been busy with a few things lately. I joined two costume swaps and finally finished them and got them out today. I will post pics as soon as the recipients receive them with my new Julie modeling them!!

I now have to get busy with getting things ready for a church bazaar that the ladies asked me to make things for for Barbie. They donated extra wool and fabric to me and asked that I make a few things for their bazaar in return, and that was no problem. Have a few things to finish up and start. I have a few things crocheted, I have to sew a few things, and my mom has knitted a couple of things. Then, maybe I can concentrate on Christmas! LOL

Bye for now. :)

Yeah, she's here!!

I now have Julie!! She is gorgeous! I have been busy lately with my kids and cross stitching and that is why I did not post this on Wednesday when she arrived. I am going to be doing some sewing today as I have a sew along to finish and two or three costumes to make for swaps I am involved in. I will post the pics of 1 costume (for myself) and the sew along outfit. The pics of the other 2 costumes will have to wait until the recipients receive them and give me the okay to post them.

I just ordered my first AG doll

Yeah!! I am so thrilled! I can't wait until she gets here! I ordered the Julie special deal off of QVC! I was thinking about adding Emily, but I think I will wait until the next QVC special as I really want Ruthie and she might be on next with her holiday outfit. That gives me time to make some outfits and hopefully sell something to pay for them! :)

I'm Still Here

Hello everyone. I'm still here. My migraines have been fairly bad lately, we are just now getting our summer. Heat always increases migraines for me. I have been crocheting a nightgown set for AG size dolls and will have a pic soon.

QVC is having another AG special tomorrow, Sept 13 at 3-4 p.m. EST and if Julie is on special, hubby has stated I can get her as my birthday gift. Very early birthday gift as my birthday is not until November 1. I can't wait as she will be my first AG and the closest to my year of birth. I was born in 1975 and I have long blond hair, just not as blond as her anymore. If I get her, I will post pics. Fingers crossed. :)

Wow, Time Flys By

I can't believe I have missed posting on here. Time is sure flying by! Between my son's third birthday on July 31 and my daughter's seventh birthday on August 20, I have not had much time to do anything. I am doing a Sew-Along on one of my groups and all I have been able to do is cut out the pieces. I am really hoping to get something done today and a photo taken, as I really need to get going on sewing and crocheting to start selling to make some money for Christmas.

Sorry everyone

I know I promised you pictures, but my memory card on my camera is full and I haven't been able to take any pictures. I also haven't really been around much but I do promise to get them some time this week. (I hope!)

I also have another crochet outfit to show off, actually two of them, as well as hopefully some sewing to show off. I need to make some outfits to sell, have too many bills piling up. Off to make lunch for the kids and maybe getting some sewing done today!

New Poll

Well, I am pleasantly surprised by the answers to my polls. I am really surprised by the fact that the majority went with velcro as I hear so many people talking about how much they hate the stuff. I have decided to find out which way of finished seams everyone likes. It really does help me to know this.

I will post pictures maybe tomorrow of my finished Mirabilia's Blossom Harvest which I finished a couple of weeks ago as well as my start of Noah's Sub. Not much done, but it is a start. I am also hoping to have finished the crochet dress for Rosalie that I received when I bought her.

Rosalie's Packer's Dress

Well, here she is. Rosalie in her "Packer's Dress" as hubby calls it. He wants me to make a G, put it on the middle so it will really represent the Green Bay Packers.

I don't have an AG yet, but hopefully soon. I missed out on Elizabeth on the QVC sale. Kids were acting up and by the time I got back to watching it, she was sold out. Oh well, maybe something good will be on in September or October when they have another show.

My ultimate wish is to get Elizabeth, Julie and maybe Marisol eventually.

What I am working on

Yesterday I made a dress for the AG in crochet. Just using up scraps. Hubby came home and said "Packers colors!" I hadn't realized they were the colors for the Green Bay Packers. He is a football fan! I will post a pic as soon as I take one. I am also starting a new one today. It is the Little Miss Rosalie crochet pattern from Maggie's Crochet. If you order if from Mary Maxim, (I am Canadian) you can get it in a kit with all the yarn and doll included.

As for cross stitching, my fabric and floss are all ready to start Noah's Sub. Once I actually start stitching, I will post update pics.

I will probably be adding a few polls to get some feedback for some sewing projects for the AG dolls.

My First Blog Entry

Well, I decided to start a blog. I have so many interests and goings on that I figured, why not put it all into one place. I will show off my dolls, sewing, cross stitching, plastic canvas, crocheting and anything else I feel like. So I hope everyone comes for the ride and enjoys!!
