Happy (Late) St. Lucia Day!

Published on December 15, 2016 by IrishAG2 Comments

Hi readers! Happy belated St. Lucia day! 😀 (It was on December 13th.)

Picture from American Girl Wikia

This holiday is very special in Kirsten’s stories. In Kirsten’s Surprise, Kirsten, with the help of her cousins, dresses up as St. Lucia and serves the traditional treats to her family.

The gown above is the one AG sold.

Since we don’t have Kirsten’s St. Lucia gown, I decided to make one! I used Josefina’s blouse from her feast outfit and a red ribbon we had lying around. For the wreath, I scrounged in the basement and found some faux leaves that twine around each other nicely. The candle is just from a box.

This is the result! It’s not a perfect match, but it will do. 🙂 A VERY IMPORTANT TIP: If you use real candles for a doll’s St. Lucia outfit, do NOT Light the candles!!!! You could damage your doll.

Do you celebrate St. Lucia day?

Prepping for Anna’s Birthday: a Photostory

Published on October 13, 2015October 20, 2015 by IrishAGLeave a comment

Hello there! My name is Elsa, Queen of Arrendale. *sniff* Sorry, my nose is a bit runny today. I hope that clears up by tomorrow! Tomorrow is Anna’s birthday, so I’m making sure everything is PERFECT. I just came back from picking this bouquet for her. Sunflowers are her favorite, but there was only one blooming! *sniff*

Back at the palace, I instructed the maids to make a beautiful ice cream cake for Anna, but to leave it to me for the topper.

In the village, all the subjects bowed and curtsied. (“My lady queen!” “ Good morning your highness!” “Is that the queen?”)

When I got to the jewelry stall, the owner tried to give it all to me, but I insisted to buy just one thing.

The owner fainted when I told her I was going to give it to Princess Anna!

Anna loves sandwiches, so I went to the kitchen and made one. It took a few tries (it had been a long time since I had made a sandwich), but I finally did it!

I comissioned an artist to paint a family portrait. *sniff* Excuse me!

I asked the local children’s choir to perform a new song I wrote. I hope Anna likes it!

I’m so tired! Tomorrow is the big day. Fingers crossed! *Sniff*

The End

I hope you liked the photostory! I made the outfit(except the shift). Has anyone else out there made doll frozen fever outfits? (Anna dress in the making)

Hey girls! A few days ago, I was thinking about AG doll’s eyes and how unique they were, so… Voila! My photoshoot! I got most of our AG dolls in here. Tell me in the comments which pic you like the best!

Josefina

Elizabeth the 2nd

Felicity

Kirsten

My fave is the Felicity one! Her eyes are so beautiful and unique! It was really hard to get good pics because the camera got fuzzy whenever I got close to the faces. C’est la vie!
