Opening Autumn

I hope you all had a {wonderful} Christmas!
We sure did!

Because I was so excited for Taylor to open Autumn I made sure the camera was ready to go when it came time to do so!



She {loved} her!

I love her expression, but as I was cropping the pictures I noticed her little brothers face! He was so excited for her! :)

First words out of her mouth, "It's the one I wanted!"
Doesn't help she would always see me working with pictures with cute little Autumn that she saw her a lot before Christmas morning, not knowing the pictures I was looking at were taken by me! :)

Welcome to the family Autumn



It didn't take long for Taylor to start trying on all the clothing included:

Ready to go to my family's Christmas lunch: both sporting the pigtails.......

I wish I would have had my camera at the lunch because Taylor barely put her down! She was walking all over the place, Autumn in tow.

She even went to church with us on Sunday.
Of course, her & Taylor matched. Good thing Taylor already had a ruffle skirt, or I think I would be down making her one in the next couple days......

Here's to the beginning of a beautiful relationship between girl & doll! :)

Dressed To Impress

It is countdown time before Christmas morning!

The last couple of days I have been spending time binding quilts (I hate binding!) and wrapping presents.

Before I closed the lid to sweet Little Autumn I added one more little fancy dress inside.

A fun "Dressed to Impress" dress.


All ruffles!
My daughter has a skirt made of ruffles, might as well have her doll match her right?!?!??


I wish I would have had time to add some cute little matching bows for her, but time is ticking!

This is my last 'hooray' before the big day!

**Wishing you all a Happy Holiday!**

Meet Autumn

A few weeks ago, I was the lucky winner to a giveaway from Apple Tree House.

If you haven't seen these dolls before and you have a little girl that {loves} dolls. You have got to check them out! They are cute in the pictures, but even cuter in person! No joke.

So, meet Autumn. She is the new red-headed beauty in our home.

On Christmas morning my daughter will open her up & get custody of her. I am a little jealous. I kind of want to keep her for myself. :)

Since I know my daughter, she will be asking me to make Autumn some outfits.
So today, while the kids were napping I made two new doll dresses.

They are both in the shocking pink/black category because I had the pink thread on my serger and I have changed my serger thread so many times in the past 4 weeks that I wasn't in the mood. :) I know, lazy.

Introducing Autumn's new clothes:
Of course she is stylin' in the super cute ruffles.....

Hello Kitty

Plaid

Doesn't she look cute?!??!

These dresses also can be made into the 10" or 15" Waldorf style dolls, American Girl or Bitty Baby. (Autumn is a 10")

I am hoping to get one or two more outfits made for her before the big day. She needs to have a closet full of clothes right?!?!??
