just like you- tank tops!!!

Yesterday Josefina and I dressed matching in jeans and tank tops!!!

(accessories: ballet flats, jackets, and necklaces) in pink (me) and purple.

It was the perfect outfit for today, as it's super warm, but light jackets are still needed.

I wore:

a white cabled sweater (talbots), a smocked coral top (gap), black flats (payless) bootcut jeans (target), and a celtic silver cross on striped ribbon (made by me).

Josefina wore:

Note: Josefina is an American Girl doll- these clothes will be listed as the AG outfit they came from.

The purple tank top and lavender jacket from the Yoga outfit; the coral slippers from Felicity's Tea Lesson Gown; a chunky purple necklace I provided; and a pair of denim pedal pushers from the Pottery Barn Kids doll collection.

Welcome Spring!!!

(if you know what it's like here!)

Complete Update

• I am going to update completely for right now: here is the new plan:
• A daily journal of my activities with my dolls!
• I will post photos when I can.
• Mainly I will be taking notes of my activities
• with my American Girl doll Josefina,
• and, of course, Emma.

P.S. Please excuse the posting mistake, it was NOT posted in June!!!!

Emma's Halloween Costume

I bought this fabric a while ago, intending to trim it and turn it into a full Indian princess outfit with a variety of fabric, but yesterday I just took the full length of fabric (A half yard) and folded the top part over so that it was almost halfway folded, then I pinned it at both ends and the middle. Then I hemmed it with a straight stretch stitch and tied it in a nivi-style sari (I got the insructions from The Daring Book for Girls). Her choker is my Indian ankle bracelet, and her ornament is a chandelier earring. For Halloween I am going to be an Ancient Greek and wear the chiton from that book.

I think we will look quite nice!!!

My Fourth of July Cake

Here is my July 4th cake.

I actually made it on July 2nd so it was not a 4th cake originally

but it is so appropriate.

I am, in fact, going to make another for our Independence Day dinner.

I love this cake- it is so gorgeous and perfect-looking.

Yes, it's me posing with it.

A Happy Fourth of July to everyone & God bless America!
