Patriotic Fun!

Hi!

As I promised, I have gathered lots of fun ideas for you all!

Aren't these all fantastic ideas, fashions, and decor?!?!  Now I have a SUPER SIMPLE dessert recipe for you that is very patriotic!!!

Yield: 1 - 9x13 inch cake

Ingredients:

1 (18.35 ounce) package yellow cake mix

1 pint blueberries, rinsed and drained

1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

2 pints fresh strawberries, rinsed and sliced

Directions:

1. Prepare cake according to package directions and bake in a 9x13 inch pan.  Cool completely.

2. Frost cake with whipped topping.  Place blueberries in a rectangle in the top left corner, and arrange sliced strawberries as stripes to make an American flag.  Chill until serving.

Hi!

The lovely Sandra from 123 Mulberry Street has sent us an adorable patriotic outfit to review!

Isn't it adorable?!?!

 Way too cute!!!

 And patriotic!

 Hailey looks so cute in it!

 And white shorts have such a fantastic mix and match potential!  New summer staple!

I love the sweater, too. :) 

IN LOVE. 

I love the little pockets. :)

This outfit is way too cute, and it's so patriotic!  It matches with my Sea Breeze Romper shoes perfectly.  This is such a fantastic 4th of July outfit. :)

The quality is fantastic, and it all fits perfectly on the doll.   The sweater is super stretchy and very easy to get on the doll.  The white shorts have an elastic waist band, and extremely realistic pockets. :)  Both items can just be pulled right on in no time!

The wide scoop neck is also very pretty, and really flatters the dolls with their wide shoulders. :)  Necklines are tricky with AG's, but Sandra hit a home run with this one!

I love that there is such great mix and match potential!  This sweater totally works with denim shorts and jeans, and you have no idea how excited I am to have white shorts for my dolls!!!  Yay!!!

I want to give a HUGE thank you to Sandra for sending us this outfit; we love it!!!  Make sure to check out 123 Mulberry Street for all of your dolly fashions!  She has fantastic looks!

Hi!

The lovely Mary Ann from One Girl's Dream has generously sponsored me with an adorable American Girl outfit for me to review!!!  Audrey is a lovely model for it. :)

Isn't it lovely?

 Audrey loves it!

 And she looks so adorable in it!

 Cute!

 Peek-a-boo!

I LOVE IT!!!

Isn't this outfit gorgeous?!?!?!  I think Audrey looks fantastic in it!

This outfit is fantastic quality, AND it comes with shoes and a necklace!!!  Pretty cool, right?  The denim vest comes off (forgot to take a picture of that... oops), which makes it a very versatile outfit; you can have a pretty dress, a vest with it, or the vest with a different outfit!

The dress has a very lovely floral print, and the vest is lined with the same fabric as the dress.  The dress has a tank top-style neckline, and looks adorable on the doll.  This outfit is definitely a new summer staple for my girls!  The vest is a bit hard to get on and off because you have to re-string the twine in the front every time.

The shoes are WAY too cute, and are so realistic!  They even have a buckle on the sides!!!  The necklace is a gorgeous pearl choker, and goes super well with this outfit!!

Pros:

Great quality.

Versatile outfit.

Comes with shoes and necklace.

Beautiful fabric.

Adorable shoes.

Pretty necklace.

Easy on/off of dress.

Great velcro closure.

Cons:

Difficult on/off of vest.

Even with the difficult on/off of the vest, I would still give this a 5 out of 5 stars!!!  It is just way too cute, and super versatile!!!  I LOVE it!  One Girl's Dream is an amazing shop, and if you're looking for a cute outfit for your doll, then One Girl's Dream is the place to go!  There are so many cute outfits that both you and your doll will love so much, you'll be jealous that you can't get it in your size!!!

Thanks so much, Mary Ann!  My dolls and I are in love with this outfit, and we love your shop One Girl's Dream!

Sew Fun!

Hi!

So, I recently got a sewing machine, and I have been getting frustrated with it because I haven't been able to work it real well.  With the purchase of our sewing machine, we got 3 free classes at the sewing store (where we purchased the machine).  Well, yesterday my great friend and I went to the class together, and I learned so much!!!  It was super fun, and I learned a lot of different techniques, and we were given several great project ideas!  Well, after the class, my friend and I REALLY wanted to sew something, so we made some adorable bags and an apron for her little sister!

My bag. (My friend and I made matching ones.)

I love the pattern! 

It has a velcro closure. 

Fancy fancy fold! :) 

 I did a five-string braid with twine for my strap.  My friend had a really cute old belt that she used. :)

I absolutely LOVE my new bag. :)  Do you like it?  I am actually selling them for $15.  I can also make other patterns.  If you want to buy one, please email me and I'll give you the details and also the different patterns. :P

Thanks so much for reading, and I'm so excited to finally get back to my regular posts!!!
