Amanda's New Hat

My mom recently showed me a hat pattern ,on Xoxo Blythe, which I adored. It was really easy to make and I think that it turned out great. I made the first one specially for Amanda and here are some photos of the new hat. Since all of the snow from Saturday had melted, we decided to take a walk in the leaves and enjoy the lasts bits of autumn before the early winter sets in permanently. Amanda is wearing her brand new hat, a black Kiki dress which I designed off of another pattern and Prairie Posy boots.

Winter Wonderland

Today we got our first Real snow fall and the girls were too excited not to go play. They had a really fun day. Since my lasts posts I have gotten two new blythes. Amanda and Ginger. Amanda is the Very Vicky and Ginger is the Prairie Posy. They made a snowman and had a snowball fight and when they got tired they went inside for some hot cocoa.

Kiki: Brrr.... Its really cold!
Amanda: Maybe because your not wearing a real coat!
Kiki: I couldn't find one that matched.

Chloe: This will be the best snowman ever!

Kiki: Ummm Chloe?
Chloe: Yeah?
Kiki: I hate to say this but I think her head is too small...
Chloe: Oh no! Your right!

Amanda: Here you go Kiki! I made your snowman a new head!
Chloe: Thank you Amanda!
Kiki: Much better.... but its still missing something...

Ginger: I found a seashell hat for her!
Kiki: Perfect!

Kiki: What a nice quite walk...

Chloe: Run!
Kiki: Huh?

Ginger: RUN! FAST!
Kiki: What is going on?

Kiki: Amanda! Do you know why they're running?
Amanda: He he he...
Kiki: Amanda?

Amanda: He he he he he...
Kiki: Don't you dare...

Kiki: ugh....

And when they got too cold we all went inside.

Kiki: I think that we can all agree that today was perfect!
Girls: Practically perfect in every way...
Chloe: Zzzzzz...

 

The Beginnings Of Kiki's House

Kiki and Chloe began working on Kiki's House.

Kiki: So what do you think?

Chloe: Well its the same size of my room, but its such and awful brown color.

Kiki: sigh....

Kiki: Now careful, we don't want any wrinkles.

Chloe: Take a picture of me mommy! Look I'm putting up wall paper.

Kiki: CAREFUL!!

Kiki: This photo looks very nice here.

Chloe: Mommy take a picture!

Kiki: ARGH!  Stop playing around! We are trying to get my house set up! But you are no help! GET OUT!

Chloe: Cheese... what a sour patch kid. I was just trying to have a little fun.

Kiki: Argh! is it too much to ask that she pay a little attention.

Chloe The Tour Guide

Here is a post that i just found that I never posted, so here:

On the first day that Kiki was with us, Chloe decided that it would be a good idea to give Kiki a little tour of the house (well the places that Blythe's frequent).

Chloe: Even though the house building didnt go great, I am willing to put it behind me and give you a tour of the house.
Kiki: Hooray...

Chloe: First we have these beautiful rocks. Not that I've been posed hear yet, but Mommy says she will pose us here someday. As you can see these rocks are quite special, with their dirt... and cobwebs... and SPIDERS! Nooo way am I posing here ever!

Kiki: I do believe that you have already posed here... right about now.

Chloe: Now here is my special flowerpot. Mommy  only poses me here. I was wearing this very dress and the flowers complimented it nicely.
Kiki: What flowers?

Chloe: OH NO! My beautiful flowers are gone! Somebody must have stolen them.

Chloe: Alright now that we have cleared up that flowers apparently die, I would like to introduce you to Madison.
Madison: Hi! My name is Madison. I like puppies, rainbows, flowers, rollerskating, cooking and really everything.
Kiki: Isn't their something you don't like?
Chloe: Be nice!

Madison: I also have two younger sisters, Dotty and Flower.
Dotty: Hi. I like dots and ice skating.
Flower: I like flowers!

Chloe: This is the first floor of her house. Your in the kitchen.
Kiki: Its roomy, I like it.

Chloe: And now for the bedroom..... Ow!
Madison: My chandelier! My boa! You ruined my room!
Kiki: Yup, she's a room wrecker, i knew it.

Chloe: Umm that is all for today folks. Ill show you the rest later Kiki.

Kiki: It's ok Chloe, you didn't do tooo terribly.
Chloe: Thanks Kiki. Hmmmm what wallpaper should we get for the kitchen?
Kiki: I don't know....

Kiki May Come Sooner Than Thought

I was talking to my mom and i told her that maybe 20 items is too much for me to have to make, so now I am just have to make 10 items. This will be much easier for me to do and so Kiki may come sooner than i had thought. :) Here is the list so far:

1. bedroom for Chloe

2. Bookshelf for Chloe

3. Totoro dress

Not many but that shall change soon. :)

Teen Vogue Magazine DIY

I personally really enjoy reading Teen Vogue and other similar magazines like seventeen, vogue and Glamour. Because of this, i decided that my blythe deserves some magazines to read.

Here is my blythe posing with all of the supplies. Some Teen Vogues, scissors, a stapler and some tracing paper (because its thin).

First I would cut out thin strips of the tracing paper. The width would depend on the size of the magazine cover that i found. In every teen vogue on the cover look page there is a small picture of the cover. That is what i used for the cover. Then i would find some add or picture and cut out the correct size for the back page. the strip of tracing paper would then be folded into a book and stapled. Then the cover would be glued on.

You then glue on the back and cut around the magazine and your done.

Here is Chloe posing with the first magazines that I made. I made many more but they're not included in the picture.

Chloe's New Bedroom

Today I began Chloe's bedroom! It was really fun and I think it turned out great! Here is how i made it.

First I began with some old boxes from our move. The bottom one is for Chloe and the top is for Kiki, when she comes. This box is #1 of my 20 projects.

I used our old wrapping paper for the wallpaper. Because Chloe's favorite color is Pink, I decided on the pale pink paper.

Here is Chloe helping me put up the wallpaper. We used the pink for the walls, ceiling and floor.

We then flipped through all of my Teen Vogues, looking for the perfect pictures to hang on her walls.

We decided upon Katy Perry (which i didn't use in the end), a cool picture that was about 80s revival and a picture of Miss Dior. I love Miss Dior perfume. We used rose tissue paper as the frame.

When the walls were dry, I moved the bed in. The bed is actually the box that she arrived in, with a lap warmer my Grandma made me as the blanket. I then went and took four pillows from my younger sister's barbies.

I then hung up the paintings, laid some pretty drawings out on the bed and Chloe moved in. Its not completely finished and there will be more furniture. The Popsicle is something my mom just bought. There was one for each of us (my sisters and I).

After finishing the house, i started on item #2. Its a bookshelf for Chloe. Its actually just two tea boxes.

First I coated the inside of both boxes with white paper.

I then just stacked them together and glued them.

Then after a quick outfit change, for a photo shoot I did while waiting for the glue to dry, i used more white paper to do the rest of the box.

Here is the almost finished product. I used the same rose tissue paper that I used for the picture frames. Its not quite finished because i plan to give it short little sparkly pink legs. I will probably use beads. I just haven't found them yet.
