How to curl your doll's hair

Hi!!! It's pouring down with rain here. I mean it literally knocked a brick off the school building's roof! We've been in a drought for like 5 years though, so I guess it's a good thing. I almost posted a picture of the raindrops on my window... but then I saw this-





















:P

Anyway... a lot of you said you wanted to see how I got Saige's wonderful curls... And so here's a tutorial! It should work on dolls with any length of hair, curly, semi-curly, or wavy! For your materials you'll need a wire hairbrush, a spray bottle, and lots of bobby-pins.


















First, get a section of your doll's hair and thoroughly brush through it. The longer your doll's hair is, the larger the piece should be. (Mine here is a bit too big, actually.)






















Then, twist your doll's hair like you do when finger-curling.























After that, wrap your piece of hair in a tight coil on top of your doll's head. (Like a bun)

Make more of these, using all of your doll's hair. Remember, the tighter and smaller the better.
When you're done, you should have a doll that looks somewhat like...this:
Ugly? Yes. But not for long! Spray your doll's hair with water, leave it for at least 24 hours... And then you will have a doll with gorgeous just-came-out-of-the-box curls!

Hope you enjoyed this tutorial! See ya!

Saige's New and improved.... curly hair!

Hi! I recently curled Saige's hair, and so today I took her out for a photoshoot! I just got back from the beach by the way. ;) If you want to know how I curled her hair, just ask me in the comments and I'll do a tutorial. Anyway, here's Saige!




































Those took Forever to upload! I hope you like them! ;) Which one is your favorite? And would you like to see how to curl your doll's hair like I did to Saige? That method works wonders, I promise. So... Until next time,

Never Too Old For Dolls!

Hi.
I just saw something very, very, VERY upsetting. AGDTime is deleting her blog and all social media accounts. She says she doesn't like dolls anymore. Is that not sad? I just want everyone out there to hear this: If you love dolls, you DO NOT need to give them up! I get teased plenty for loving dolls, and even my dad thinks I'm too old for them. You know what I do? I ignore them. DON'T be ashamed of your hobby. Everyone is different. Do any of you miss PicturePerfectAG, Pleasant Piper, or TheBestLovedDolls? I know I do. And I'm going to miss AGDTime a whole lot. So, the moral of this post is, YOU'RE NEVER TOO OLD TO DO WHAT YOU LOVE!

Hey! Quick question/You pick!

Hey Peeps! No,  I don't have anything special... no Lands Of Lorvias, no dollhouse tour... not even a photoshoot. Sorry. I do however, have a question! I am going to the coast/beach this weekend, and I want to bring some dolly friends! (As always!). Anywho, I'm not sure who to pick! Mind helping me out? Of course you don't! Just in case you don't remember which dolls I have, I'll list them below. If you want more info on each doll, click here. Okay, here's the list. :)


  • Molly
  • Emily
  • Saige
  • Kit
  • Ruthie
  • Isabelle 
  • Grace 
I can't wait to see who you choose! Also, I'm am SUPER excited because my only friend that likes dolls will be at the coast with me! I barely ever get to see her, and when I do I love it because all of my other friends have "Grown Out Of" dolls. She has 3 AG dolls, Julie, Kirsten, and Saige. She also has a pair of Bitty Twins.  Enough of my babbling, please comment who you'd like to see best! I can manage 3 dolls, but I will most likely only bring 2. Only suggest up to 3 dolls please. :) Most voted for dolls get to come with me! Bye!

I'm Sorry!

I'm sorry I haven't had time for blogging lately. :( We are doing a week long trial for a new horse, it started Sunday and so I'm trying to get lots of riding in this week. I've been really busy in general since we're selling the house and well... I just wanted to apologize, and let you know that I probably won't be posting this week. I might, but the chances are slim. I hope you guys understand. I'll be back soon though! Until then, be sure to go vote on "Name That Doll!"! Thanks for reading, bye!
