Sewed these corduroy overalls out of an old pair of human pants I thrifted. It's giving Corduroy (the bear) vibes I think 🙃

Next week of the #52dollwalks challenge! Picked a different angle today in the same little nook. This week my eye-swapped #Rapunzel is rocking pigtails and some cute Disney ILY4Ever overalls.

Cassie in a quiet little alcove off a walking/biking trail. Picked this spot for #52dollwalks mostly because it's a really lovely walk to get to this area. Looking forward to the next walk!

Trying to encourage myself to sew more by styling some of the pieces I've already made (Rapunzel's dress, Margo's skirt).

What do you do when you're not feeling motivated for doll crafts?

Cassie with a floral outfit to usher in spring (let's just pretend we can't see snow in the background still)

My partner in doll form <3

(Wish more masc clothing was made for 18 inch dolls so this guy could wear more stuff similar to my partner's IRL wardrobe.)

Here's Margo, a custom classic mold American Girl doll. It's +5°C out so she's pretty warm today!

She has hazel AG eyes, a custom wig (ZaZouCustomDolls), and custom faceup (me). Outfit is from AG, PinkStarDollClothes, DreamMarieBoutique, CreativeThreadsNH, and me.

Getting back into doll content! Here's my mini me, a light skin classic mold American Girl with a custom wig (ZaZouCustoms) and custom eyes (DollofaKind). I picked up this 90s style outfit from an Albertan crafter at a doll show, and I think it looks so precious 🩷

My younger brothers just informed me that the quetzalcoatlus can't be my favorite dinosaur, since it's not actually a dinosaur; it's a pterosaur. Fine then. My new favorite dinosaur is the Andean cock-of-the-rock, for self-evident reasons. Good pick, Peru.

So few truly good dress up games on the market.

Today I learned that it's less that I'm bad at sewing lately and more that I'm just really miserly when it comes to giving my sewing machine its essential needs.

Just doll things 🙃

Bought a bento box for work and was browsing through pinterest for inspiration. Searching "bento box" pulled up a lot of actual food art, which was breathtaking but wayyyy more effort than I need in my life.

"Adult lunchables" was apparently the right term.

Just submitted an app to Google Play for review and I'm SO nervous even though the worst case scenario is that they give me a list of things I need to tweak.

But what if my privacy policy isn't comprehensive? What if the app appeals too much to kids for the 13+ rating to apply? Legal stuff is scary

Despite no effort otherwise on my part, this is slowly becoming a doll account. See, I have lots of interests, it's just that most of them involve American Girl dolls somehow.

Today's interest was learning a few basic photo editing techniques.

me: follows all my friends who are sociologists

also me: why is my whole fucking feed related to sociology?

I love you all but man y'all are committed to this career thing

Update on the American Girl doll beard painting technique. Tried it and it produces the appearance of a short, patchy beard and has the benefit of being completely reversible with acetone. Downside is it looks downright awful with fuller beard patterns (right image).

Made my husband @josephroso.bsky.social into an American Girl doll. Here are the pics for the concept and reality.

I know these dolls are supposed to be 8-10yos, but he looks a little strange without his beard. Debating whether to paint that on or glue tiny wefts. Thoughts?

And to establish this account as definitely not doll-exclusive (RIP to my IG), here's a collage I did in the altered book I'm working on, Petrides's A Field Guide to Trees and Shrubs.

Looks like the American Girl community isn't quite here yet, but that's not going to stop me from getting the ball rolling anyway. Here's my very own Addy Walker in the first doll dress I ever sewed.
