30/30 Sewing Challenge Week 3

It's time again to show off what I've done with my selfish 30 minute sewing for me, me, and me alone!  Since I have two more weeks left to sew, I decided to add this doll to my list of things I wanted to finish.  

 I lifted her dress  so you could see her underpants!

I sewed her pants, jacket, and dress!  Used yarn to make her hair. And painted her face.

Then I assembled her together and now my Garden Doll is done!

I just noticed I need to snip a few out of control fabric threads!

It's been a fun week to sew!  I believe I'm getting into the habit of sewing for 30 minutes a day!  I really look forward to it!

Check out whatever one else has done!!

30/30 Sewing Challenge Week 3

American Girl Place Store

My husband and  I took a trip to Los Angeles to enjoy the day together!  We stopped at The Grove to shop, mainly browse and enjoy some of the shops and food they have next door at the Farmers Market in town.

To my surprise I came across The American Girl Store.  I wondered why I never noticed it before.  I mean I've been at the Grove before.  I guess its because I have two boys, and I must have not been wearing my glasses, lol!

So many of you own one and have posted some really cute outfits, you've sewn.  In fact, I entered to win one!  I just had to share, it was exciting to walk into an American Girl Place Store!!

I had to go in and take a look at all these amazing dolls!  

I sure most of you know, but for you that don't, you pick your doll and you chose the color hair you want.  The style of hair, long, short, with or without curls etc.

Well, I was like a little girl, excited and sad I couldn't afford to buy one.  But, it's on my list!!! I wish I could have taken more pictures, but my camera died!
