I'm working on the dollhouse kitchen today. Countertops and cupboards are now under construction. ✏📏📐✂🛠 You know what's awesome about being a creative, being a maker? That a person can do anything, make anything, fix what needs to be fixed. And have the empowerment to solve problems or puzzles, even when they require another person's help or expertise. I have friends that can create amazing things with the mediums they have chosen to express themselves with. Be that expression come through painting, needle arts, coding, building, paperarts, whatever it is, we are makers, artists, doers, and crafters. There really isn't a distinction. When it comes to self-expression, we are all part of a larger community that should embrace all of our differences. We can't afford to be elitists and exclusionary because its those innovators and dreamers that can and will push us and help us to become the best we can be. So to all my creatives: I love you all and thank you for inspiring me every day!❤ #craftymama #makerdreamerdoer #agdollhouse #agig #altagig #ogdolls
All hail the Birthday Princess!😍

😍 I want this book so much....
Some clode-ups of the details in the Laundry room. The window is functional 😊 Leocadia couldn't wait to start playing with it!
The Laundry Room is finished (for now 😉) and I am now in the process of planning and designing my next project! This one took me a little longer than I expected because I had to paint the curtain rod by hand, since I ran out of metallic silver spray paint (which would have sped up the process). The curtains are made from a handkerchief and the towels are cut up from old wash cloths that I was going to throw out. The washer and dryer are from @ogdolls and were purchased @target The small accessories are from OG and MLA sets. They are the OG Car Wash set, the OG Laundry Day set, and the MLA Cleaning Caddy set from @walmart I made the dryer sheet box, and dryer sheets, from an actual dryer sheet box. The lamp is a flow-in-the-dark lamp from @dollartree Marble paper is Recollections Scrapbook Paper is from @michaelsstores and the wood plank and brick paper is @americancrafts scrapbook paper from @joann_stores The blue paper and white floral paper is from @hobbylobby from over 10 years ago. Hope you all enjoyed this room! I'll be sharing more pics a little later. 😙 #agig #altagig #joytoeverygirl #agdollhouse #craftymama #ogdolls #mladolls
I found this "ugly sweater" at Wal-mart on my last excursion to town. Of course I bought it, 'cause foxes, duh! I'm thinking immediately after Thanksgiving is the appropriate time to start wearing it, although I'm appropriate all year 'round... *ahem* Anywho, let's roll the hashtags! #uglysweater #itstooearlyforxmas #merryfoxmas #whyyesidolovefoxes #craftymama #shutupimhavingfun
WTF Verizon. Why the Bipolar signal strength lately??? This #craftymama needs to share her feelings and stuff. Mostly stuff. And pictures of cups of coffee. Please get your rears in gear and give me a signal boost? Pretty please?! #icrafttoavoidhousework #agig #altagig #imnotslowmyinternetis #ineedanothercupofcoffee #isupergluedmyfingers
So, since going public with my account, I realized that kids and others not in my friend circle are liking and following me. It's awesome that there are people that enjoy my posts, but I am an adult and I sometimes use foul language, which is not acceptable for children. I also have zero tolerance for creeps and trolls. If I find out you are under 13, you will be blocked. If you try to start drama, you will be blocked. If you try to creep on me or be a troll, you will be blocked. All of my pics and creations are my intellectual property, please ask BEFORE sharing. I try to give credit to those pics and ideas I share from others. Please respect me and I will respect you. 😊
I found these cute things while perusing the Xmas aisle at @walmart ! Hatchimals Bathbombs, 'cause that's a thing now, and cute (doll-sized) lipsticks shaped like food and drinks🍕🍦🍭🍩🍔. Happy hunting! #agig #altagig #dollyfunfinds #itstooearlyforxmas #joytoeverygirl
I've been texting a friend and got super happy, but since I have the best foot warmer, ever, stretched over my feet, I'm doing a mental happy dance.🦊❤🐕 #dogsofinstagram #germanshepherd #furbaby
The contracting crew came back today to install our new vanity. Everything was going well, the guys were ready to install the faucet and...it didn't fit. I bought the wrong size faucet because, y'know, vanity sink needs vanity faucet. Nope. I now have to go back to Lowe's or Home Depot and buy a new 8" long, 3 hole configuation faucet for a vanity sink. 😐 The good news is that there's other stuff they're working on, so the day isn't a total bust! #homedepot #lowes #homerenovationissues
Leocadia found one of my old Mardi Gras creations! I think she looks fabulous!
Leocadia arrived home with a basket of goodies from her daycare's Easter party! Mommy is going to have to hide the candy before she eats it all...
A box arrived from @monnakell and had a tone of beautiful clothes!!! Leocadia lovers her new spring wardrobe!
The toilet has been re-installed and the tile was grouted today! Next up for this room is a new sink cabinet, fixing the walls, then on to painting! #sohappy #beerbudgetchampagnetaste
The tile for the half-baked was laid today! So happy things are starting to get repaired!
Sorry for the blur, but I found this rad shirt at wally world and had to grab it for Leocadia! #shoppingboyclothesformygirl #girlscanbeastronautstoo
Leocadia won an AG mini Maryellen Larkin from the blog Faking It Mostly! Super happy and excited! Thank you Ginnie & Little Miss!!!
What? I adulted today! Cooked supper, did the dishes, ran errands, went to my doctor's appointment AND got owie shots. I think I deserve some #germanchocolate #stealingcandyfrommykid #itsmycandynowkid
The store had a big, PINK, Disney Princess motorized coach. Guess who found it. LOL #disneyprincess #stayoffthesidewalk
I made 5 pies tonight for Thanksgiving! 3 pumpkin pies, 1 Apfel Streusel, and 1 cherry pie. #thanksgiving #pies
Leocadia and I made "frozen dinners" inspired by Maryellen's freezer accessories from AG. We used the instructions from AmericanGirlIdeas.com. Aparently they looked good enough to eat because Dollar, our 6 year old German Shepherd, decided to help himself to the fried chicken leg. #agig #americangirlideas #dogshaming
my post that insinuates garnet may have chosen not save jasper has a couple responses along the lines of “she was busy holding amethyst and watermelon steven!”
and in the interest of fairness, I’d like to investigate these claims
the angle of garnet’s left arm makes it so she can’t be holding amethyst. it looks like she may be holding pearl or watermelon steven, but let’s take a closer look
nope! stevenmelon has got it covered. three points of contact, looks good. garnet’s right hand is nowhere in sight. anyway, we can see she’s not holding pearl’s hand when pearl reaches for jasper.
so i’m going to go ahead and conclude that she isn’t using her hands to support pearl, amethyst, or watermelon steven. but we can’t actually SEE her hands, so I contend that her hands were otherwise occupied. here’s an artistic interpretation of how, and with what:
good to know.
Maybe You’ve Felt This, But You Can’t Explain It
