Moana~ A Photoshoot
Hey everyone!! Are any of you excited for the new Disney princess movie, Moana to come out? Cause I am, and if you aren’t, then there’s hardly any point to read this post. But don’t go away! You’ll find it interesting whether you’re excited or not – 100% guaranteed! If you aren’t satisfied, please return this post to…. Okay. We’re getting off track here…
Ahem. As a lot of you may know, my craft fair (which I refer to as Hillside) is coming up SUPER soon!! Like – in 2 WEEKS!!! So I procrastinated again and I am obviously not going to meet a lot of my goals of products I wanted to have at Hillside this month, but I set to work on designing a Moana costume which I think turned out pretty great! And I am here to share with you some photos of Kiara as Moana π
This photo is my favorite! π
Hmmm…. I should have turned her head…. *thoughtful look* Oh well! π
So how do you like it? If you’re interested in purchasing it you can buy it in my Etsy shopΒ by clicking HERE.
It will be $30 until Thanksgiving when it will be $35 from then on. Even if you aren’t interested in buying, I’d appreciate a favorite! π
Well, bye bye! I’ll “see” you again soon! *waves*
What are your thoughts on Moana? Are you going to go see it?Β

New Star Wars Costumes in Bitty Beanies!
EEKS! I’ve been SO excited to share my new Star Wars costumes with all of you and today is the day I get to show you! π For those of you who may not know, I have an Etsy shop where I sell crocheted doll outfits/costumes π
Okay, let’s take a looksie:
I had so much fun making this outfit! I just love the poofy-ness π
MY LITTLE BB-8!!! LOLOL! Sorry, you all know I have an insane obsession with him XD
I was really happy with how the sweetheart neckline came out. Usually it’s kind of difficult for me to do, but in this case- it was easy! π
“Haaaan SOLO!” Sorry, I just had to quote Maz (I say that quote all the time) XD
So this is the Han Solo dress I talked about! I am SOO happy with how this turned out! I think it may be one of my absolute favorite items I’ve made! π
And here is the Jedi Robe!! Oh, and AGDA– thanks for telling me about the Lightsaber! I LOVE it! π
Honestly, the Sith Robe is my favorite out of the two. It’s just so mysterious π
Yes, be creepily, awesomely, mysterious, Riven-Delle…. XD
So those are the items! They’re all available to order in my Etsy shop at these prices:
Oh, and just a reminder – I also have a Rey costume in my Etsy shop, as well π
I think that’s all I have for today! If you have any questions about my items or anything, just drop me a comment π
Which of my new items is your favorite? What Star Wars costume would you like to see next?
Have a great day!

The Force Awakens Rey Costume!
Hey guys! So a few days ago I got inspired to crochet (YAY! It’s been forever!) and I decided to make Rey’s costume from the new Star Wars The Force Awakens movie! Speaking of which, who else is super excited for that movie?! *raises both hands wildly and screams BB-8!!!!*
Okay, enough of that now LOL! So I finished making the costume last night and it is now available to purchase in my Etsy shop for $35 π
I think this is one of my favorite costumes I’ve ever made! I feel like it just really has that Star Wars feel to it. What do you think? π
I think Annika looks so adorable in this outfit and she is quite in love with it as she is kinda a big Star Wars fan, too π
Well, I hope you like my costume and that you will head on over to my Etsy shop and give it a “heart” by clicking here π <3

What My Dolls Are Up To
Hey everyone! Yesterday I cleaned out under my bed (my doll’s bedroom) because I’ve been having a ton of baby spiders in my room lately (*shudders*) and the other day I noticed a few under there, so I freaked out… Anyways! Back to the subject of this post – I set up my dolls to where they’re all doing something and I thought it’d be fun to show you what they’re up to π
So here’s the overview! Some of them are hiding behind the curtains, though LOL!
Over here, Dallas is getting Pepper out of his bed so he, Eli, and Jeremy can play with him. Rapunzel is asking if she can play with him, too and Lissie is trying to get a book, but Dallas is in the way. You can kinda see Clara back there just hanging out π
Bella, Ellie, and Snow are being as sweet as can be playing with Licorice π
Belinda is helping Cecile with some school.
And Merida wants Belinda for something…. Probably to help her climb something π
And of course Caleb and Kendra are fighting and screaming at the top of their lungs. Kristoff is trying to pull Caleb off of Kendra and Annika starts to intervene. Mickey and Minnie are sad and scared by their fighting as usual, too π
Kanani, Riven-Delle, and Annika had all been talking, but then stopped instantly when they noticed Caleb and Kendra fighting. Anna was gonna talk to Riven-Delle, but also stopped when she noticed the fight.
Janie looking over at Caleb and Kendra. They attract a lot of attention to themselves whenever they fight π
Julie, Kaya, and Samantha are talking π
And oh, dear! Marie-Grace was talking to Saige (who is painting) when she was supposed to be practicing her singing, so Lana told her to stop talking to Saige, Marie-Grace got mad, and now Jess came over and is trying to tell Lana that it’s okay for Marie-Grace to talk to Saige. My goodness!
Josefina and Kirsten were about to bake and are now trying to persuade Rebecca into helping them, too. Addy was talking to Kirsten π
Jenna doing some things at the vanity π
And Kiara and Caroline are chatting π
Do your dolls have a usual thing that happens every day? Like how Caleb and Kendra always fight? What do your dolls like to do?

Frozen Fever~ A Photoshoot Of “Elsa”
The title of this post can mean two things for me:
1. That I have Frozen Fever- I’m so obsessed π
2. That I’m SO EXCITED for the new Frozen Fever short!!!!! π
Ever since I saw what Elsa’s new dress looked like, I knew I had to get started on making it! I finished it and listed it in my Etsy shop today, and now I’d like to show you all how it turned out! π
The little pink dots are to represent super tiny flowers π
These shoes go so great with this dress!
My absolute favorite part, is the cape!!! I just love how it turned out!! π
“Beautiful! Powerful! Dangerous! Cold!”
I had such problems with the hair. I literally worked on it for over an hour trying to figure out how I used to do it! I ended up doing something completely different LOL!
“Go enjoy the sun and open up the gates.”
Elsa finally has control of her powers π
So, what do you think of my dress?? Are you excited for the Frozen Fever short, too?
Oh, and on the left sidebar of my site, there is a little box that shows all of the items in my Etsy shop. Click on my new Elsa dress to go see it! π
Have a great rest of your day!! π

Modern Day Pirate~ A Photoshoot
The other day, my mom, my sister, and I went on a little shopping trip. My sister showed me this amazing Duster Jacket (as she is calling it) and I totally died over it!! It was too much money to buy just because and I didn’t really need it (but I really wanted it, so it felt like a need LOL!), so my mom bought it for me to give me for my birthday! So, I decided to make a doll sized version of it! π
Clara was my model while I was making it, and she looked SO adorable in it, that she got to model it for the photoshoot! π
Do you like it?? I think it came out great! It has two pockets, and the sleeves are cuffed up with buttons, too! Don’t you think it looks so pirate-y? I totally felt like a pirate when I tried mine on! π
Have a nice day! π

Planning For Hillside
Oh, my goodness! Tomorrow it will mark one week exactly until the Hillside Farms Holiday Craft Fair! I must admit that I haven’t been doing much crocheting for the past couple of months, cause in my head I think “Oh, there’s plenty of time!” and so at night I would just sit and watch movies while doing things on my iPod…. Ugh, so bad. Now that it’s a week away I am feeling majorly stressed! I still have so much to make and so little time! Eeks! π
Anyways, I didn’t want to fully neglect all of you for a week, so my mom gave me the idea to post about my preparation for the craft fair! I thought it was a great idea, so here we go!
I usually bring seven of my dolls to the craft fair each year, but since I have SO many new costumes (I’m planning to have every single main Disney Princess dress), I decided that I need to bring them all (and my friend Emma is loaning me one of her dolls to be Merida. Thank you SO much)! But that was a problem. I needed to find a way to make sure they all could fit, and also have some room to lay my other products on the table. So today I got the table out and made all of my dolls fit on top! YAY! πΒ The ones in the back are going to be raised up, too, but I need to buy some more risers, so that’s why they aren’t even with the others π
Then after that, I needed to see if our big 30 gallon bin, would hold all 15 dolls, and it did!! But I need to buy a new one for myself because my mom uses that bin for all of her stuff π
Now I am off to crochet! This whole next week is going to be crazy busy, but I promise, you will still see some posts from me! π
Bye for now!

Happy Dolloween!
While my family and I don’t celebrate Halloween, I still enjoy dressing up and going to a local church for games and (of course) CANDY! I’m being Elsa for Halloween, who are you going to be?
Anyways, I hope you enjoy this little photostory! π
“I’m so glad that my mom and dad said I could have some friends over for a sleepover!” Annika said. “Me, too! Thanks for having us over, Annika!” Kiara said with a smile. “No problem! So, I made some cupcakes and frosted them in yours and Clara’s favorite colors! And we also bought a little box of truffles. Gotta have candy!” Annika said with a giggle.
“Thanks!” Kiara as said as she reached for a beautifully decorated cupcake.
“Mmmm!” Kiara said as she took a big bite of her cupcake.
“These are so good, Annika! They’re really moist!” Kiara said. Annika smiled broadly. “Awe, thanks!” Annika replied.
“Therse truffos are sho good!” Clara said as she stuffed some chocolate in her face.
“Clara! What’s wrong with you?! You ate the whole box of truffles!!” Annika said, her voice raising. “And what did you even say? Your voice was so muffled!” Kiara asked.
“Oh… I’m sorry guys! I was just so starved! I didn’t eat anything for dinner and it’s 8’o clock! And what I said was; these truffles are so good.” Clara said with a look of guilt.
“It’s alright, Clara. I wasn’t all that hungry anyways. Hey, how about Clara eats a cupcake or two and then we watch that Barbie movie that I brought?” Kiara suggested.
“YES!! I’ve been dying to watch that movie all day!!” Clara exclaimed. Annika and Kiara laughed. “Okay, then! Eat up, Clara!” Annika said with a chuckle.
While Annika got the movie set up, Kiara and Clara sat waiting on the couch. “Uum… Clara? What are you doing?” Kiara asked as she stared at her friend who was completely wrapped up in her cape.
“I’m freezing!” Clara said through her cape.
Kiara tried not to laugh as she thought of how funny it would be if Queen Elsa wrapped herself up in her cape like that!
Annika returned with a thin blanket for coziness and turned off the lights. Clara was using most of the blanket, though.
“YAY! The menu!! Click play!!” Clara yelled excitedly. Annika and Kiara laughed again at their friend’s energy and excitement.
The three friends settled down and watched the movie….
….But soon enough, they fell asleep.
Happy Dolloween!!
What did you and your dollies do for Dolloween?

Family Photo :)
I’ve noticed a few blogs have been taking family photos of their dolls, and I’ve always wanted to do that, but because I have so many, it would take HOURS to get them all ready, so I never did it. But- it is time to stop being lazy, LOL! π
Back row, left to right- Addy, Josefina, Felicity, Kirsten, Rebecca, Kanani, Marie-Grace, Caroline, and Saige.
Bottom row, left to right- Beth, Annika, Kendra, Cecile, Caleb, Samantha, Jeremy, Kaya, Mickey, Jess, Minnie, Clara, and Janie
I took a family photo of all of my AG dolls (including my sisters) on Saturday and I think it turned out great! It was so neat to see them all set up together π I was going to do a family photo that included everyone in my doll family, which would include MyTwinn, Disney Toddler Dolls, and other baby dolls, but I didn’t have room anywhere to get a picture of all of them! So maybe some day I’ll get a family picture of my non-AG dolls π
Who is in your American Girl Doll family?
