My American Girl Dolls

First off I'd like to say sorry for not posting for so long, it's been hectic with school and before that Christmas. So with that said I realized that I haven't told you about my dolls, I would say American Girl dolls but some of them are from other brands.

Say hi to my amazing 18 inch dolls, Felicity, Rebecca, Elizabeth, Saige, Dawn, Carmen, Samantha, and their little baby sister Rose. 
  

Felicity was my first American Girl Doll. She was the doll that first interested me in 18" dolls. She is one of the retired historical dolls, she lived during the time of the American Revolution.
 
Along with Felicity came Elizabeth. She and Felicity are best friends. To get some pocket change she's walking her sisters' dogs.

Next was Rebecca, my second doll. Also one of the historical dolls, Rebecca is a Jewish girl who wants to be an actress.

Carmen is a Best Friends Club doll I got from my aunt and uncle. I usually have to improvise with her clothes because she is a bit smaller than the other dolls. Right now she is babysitting her baby sister Rose, who I got for Christmas last month.

Dawn  I got from my sister who was trying to sell her at a family yard sale. I got her for 5 bucks while we were cleaning up. That's good even though she isn't AG. 

Saige was last years girl of the year at American Girl. She is playing with her grandma's dog Rembrandt in the snow.

I also got Samantha a girl from the Victorian era. She sure looks like she's enjoying ice skating on a snowy pond.

Candy Cane Tutorial

Today I made candy canes with my awesome mom. I so wanted to get a tutorial ready to put on my blog that I got this one ready as soon as possible. AND HERE IT IS!


First you need to gather up your supplies, you will need (for a traditional red and white one) red and white polymer clay, a surface to work on, and something to cut it with.

Take out a bit of each color and set the rest to the side.

Next, roll out the clay you're using into 2 long snakes.

Cut the ropes to desired length and twist them together .

(hint: once twisted roll them on the surface you have until smooth to get a more finished look!) ; )
Once done with that, bend an end of the twisted rope into a hook.  Then bake according to the directions on the polymer clay package; for me, that was about 7 minutes at 275 degrees.



                                            And you're done!  Hope you like it!

By the way, sorry about the quality of the pictures, I'm not much of a photographer.
