welcome + f.d.c.

Meet my new girlie, Jessa!

She arrived last night, after dinner. She was quite a steal, actually. I got Jess, a Christmas gown with matching headband, two shirts, a skirt, and shorts for only $60. She didn't come with her meet outfit, but I don't mind so much; I can find it on eBay or something. She's in excellent condition; her hair is like almost-new!

As you can tell, I'm calling her Jessa Akiko McConnell. :) There is a photostory about her arrival and meeting the other girls HERE.

As for the FDC, I would appreciate it if you would vote for me in round two! Just go to The Doll Wardrobe Fashion Design Challenge website. HERE is my entry. Just comment on it to vote or email Nora at nora.deminton@gmail.com and vote for entry #43. If you vote for me, thank you so much!

Have a great week!

Love, Lena

i stink

So basically, I am a loser. Why?

Well, I haven't updated since the middle of October, and I didn't make a Halloween post. Bleh.

In my defense, I had to help organize a trunk-or-treat and I was seriously injured yesterday and could barely move from my spot on the sofa. I'm all better now, though. So no worries!

Basically, it's too late to make a Halloween post for my dolls, but I PROMISE PROMISE PROMISE that I will post about Thanksgiving. PROMISE. So if I don't hold to that promise, you can virtually slap me in the face.

On another note, I finished making an outfit someone comissioned from me! Yay!

Here are some pics:

The lady gave me the flowered material and asked me to make a dress with it for her niece's Marie-Grace doll. I surprised her with the jacket. :)

So, that's all for now! Again, my profuse apologies. :(

Love, Lena

Hey guys!

I forgot to tell you.... I entered The Doll Wardrobe's Fashion Design Challenge!

I know my entry isn't that great but... would you vote for me? Just email Nora Demington at nora.demington@gmail.com and say, "I vote for Entry #1." To see my entry, click HERE. To see the rest of the entries, to to the Doll Wardrobe Fashion Design Challenge website.

I'm not forcing you to vote for me, as I know that there are many entries that are much better than mine. I can assure you that my second round outfit looks much better!

Thanks so much!

Well, I had planned a great back-from-AG-Miami post complete with pictures and an opening video, but the video must have been too long and wouldn't load. So, I'll just show you what I got in photographic segments.

First, Josefina's party dress.

I'm sorry the pictures are so.... eugh. But it was really bright and sunny, and I could hardly see the camera screen. I was also experimenting with the aperture setting on my camera.

Hope you enjoyed!

Love, Lena

busy, busy, busy

Hello, all!

I know, it's been a whole month since I've posted, but I've been busy, busy, busy!

First of all, the moving truck arrived at my house and all the furniture came safely and in one piece, including my dolls. The bad part is that Josefina's bed was totally destroyed.

But that brings us to the second point: I'm going to the grand opening of American Girl Miami on Saturday! I'm so excited. I'm only planning on getting a few things (including a replacement bed for Josefina), but I will be sure to take lots of pictures when I get back.

I also went to Goodwill on Tuesday, and I found some cool stuff! First of all, I found two doll-sized candlesticks that will look perfect on our doll table.

I also got a great steal: I found "Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment" by James Patterson for $2.50. But here's the best part: it is signed by him! So cool!

"Hope these pages fly! Keep reading. James Patterson"

(This is a great book series, but I recommend it for ages 10 and up.)

 

 

So, that's all for now! I hope you didn't miss me too much. ;)

 

Love, Lena
