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?

This is horrible and perfect

an American Girl doll with long hair, glasses, and scruffy facial hair

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.)

American Girl doll

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.

American Girl doll

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 🩷

a dinosaur, technically

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.

standees for a solo rpg / journaling game

Anyway, all this is to say that I went with the racist option for my solo rpg game villagers and feel pretty guilty about it. The fantasy clothes though 🥺

Who are the other main contenders? Style Savvy? Modded Sims? That one really detailed avatar creator* on Doll Divine? (*I think it's the Mega Fantasy Avatar Creator that I'm thinking of.)

All well-meaning and fun at times, but limited overall.

me with a frog umbrella that I want IRL

There used to be a fairly robust fan website where you could design avatars like the one below, which had a very extensive collection of items that were probably very expensive to purchase with IRL money in-game. Can't tell if it still exists or not because I've totally blanked on its name.

ACNH takes too long to acquire items without time traveling and offers too few hairstyles. And Fashion Dreamer has a limited selection of clothing styles, despite having decent depth in the styles it offers.

It'd be one thing if Selfy Collection simply "forgot" that multiple skin tones exist in humans. Offering a (paltry) selection of skin tones only AFTER the credits have rolled and having them be incompatible with 80+% of items is just cruel. 😭

So few truly good dress up games on the market.

@smoreofbabylon.bsky.social He also legit uses the phrase "dishonest mistake" at least twice (it's a long video, so dunno about the last hour yet)

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.

disembodied doll limbs

Just doll things 🙃

I never had lunchables has a kid, so maybe this is my five year old self living vicariously through me.

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

But it looks like the quality is similar to My Life As / Our Generation dolls, which are far cheaper (~$25). For a similar price (around $60-70), you can buy a good condition used American Girl doll online on ebay. Amazing Girls do have cute face molds though, so it's a fair choice either way.

American Girl doll collector butting in here, hi! I can't find exact dimensions anywhere, but it looks like Amazing Girls dolls can wear American Girl doll clothes from skimming through reviews and from their sold separately outfit listings themselves. Shoes might be a whole other story though.

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.

It's hard because I think there aren't a lot of us here right now! I found your post from the American Girl Doll feed, which I think is all we have at the moment until hashtags are implemented or AmericanGirlBrand themselves comes over

It's so cute! Love the fabrics you chose! Is that the Keepers Dolly Duds Designs dress pattern? I've been eyeing that one for the Claudie I just got :)

I worry that they released the "90's" twins so close to 2000 specifically so they could claim the early 2000s are too close in overlap to bother covering 9/11 aftermath (and therefore avoid touching anything remotely currently political).

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
