113. Home wasn't built in a day.

Frame is almost all in place, top most ceiling is bein measured to fit and working out how much MDF I need to cover the floor. 

112. But wait there's more, Our Generation

It would appear my photographic evidence disappeared in some mad clean out the other week on my iphone photo albums, but I just wanted to say shame on you Kmart Australia, the Our Generation red kitchen used to be $89, this week it went up to $99. 

And whilst talking of expensive Our Generation items, David Jones got some new stock in (dolls anyway) 

Alejandra and Abrianna. The first two dolls of colour I've seen of this brand in Australia. 

Alejandra would be pretty save for her teeth. I know American Girl dolls (save Kaya) show teeth, but it is an open mouthed smile. Poor Al here has her teeth painted onto her bottom lip, mare what's up doc?

Abrianna looks frightened, or maybe she just saw the price tag on her box.

115. There goes April, here comes May

Despite her wish list and the outfits that did arrive in April, Tzeitel could only feel comfortable in the light cardigan from the Go Anywhere Outfit

The cap from the Casual Chic Outfit

Some awesome no brand pink lace up boots with lace

Found on eBay 

And the dress from Josefinas Party dress

That I got in this pile. Did I ever show you this pile? Or rather what is in it?  Ummha I think that's what I'd planned to do inMarch, Josefinas month, but no instead I was galavanting all over the place with Mariana, oopsy. 

Anyway, so there. 

There were other plans for Tzeitel that took longer than expected (that involved the demolition of her bed room and other such Fishpond things) but are still in progress, to be continued.   

So May has stepped in and we have.....

Tauralie, bought as Truly Me #61. 

She has awesome red hair, fair skin and green eyes. 

She had been named with the character Tauriel from the Hobbit movies in mind, and was going to be a medieval fan 

I'd even got her a dress

And attempted furniture from that time (sort of, squinting maybe)

Just nod and say okay. (The dark brown bed frame). 

But something happened in October last year and well

It turns out she's a bit of a rock chick and  the other things are on hold (for now). 

Much to her roommates despair

With the building that's in progress there may be movement so you never know girls and Coconut there maybe some peace soon. 

Wishful thinking.....

Tauralie really likes this outfit. The 2008 Singing Star Outfit. 

We'll see what happens this month. 

111. Meanwhile in Target

DC Super Hero girls

11" dolls $32 each TargetAustralia 

I think that's Poison Ivy

Super girl

Batgirl

Harley Quinn

Forgot to get a closer shot of Wonder Woman and the Bumblebee girl. The girls look muscular and articulated. 

Action figures are  also available. 

$19 each

110. In the Disney Princess Aisle

I thought these petite packs were cute

Snow White and 4 dwarves (budget cuts)

Aurora And Prince Phillip, with the 3 fairies

Ariel and 2 of her sisters. I think Ariel's tail can be swapped out. 

I don't think they matched the head and body vinyls very well with these,bug they're cute all the same. 

Toysrusaustralia. 

109. Just when I'm trying to give them up Journey Girls releases more stuff

Evil toysrusaustralia. 

108. Tools of the Trade

A kitchen chair

And a bar stool

107. Before you go and

Before you go and knock something down you take a pic of what was

And forget to take a pic of Maddie's side before you bustled her out 

The cupboard was bare

And it's gone

Too late now

106. Previous month's wishes.

Each month I'm checking with the Birthday girls what they would like if they were to have a genuine American Girl outfit. 

Emily (my American girl #21) liked this 

The My American Girl Roller Skating Set. This was released in 2012 and retired 2015. 

From what I found on AG Playthings and AG Wiki the helmet was not part of this set. The hoodie, skirt, skates and leg warmers were though. 

Ooooh

Hoh, yay

Woof, woo woo woo

Isn't this cool Coconut?

Woo woo woo woo

I found these leg warmers in amongst my Bfc collection. I'd got them a while ago in another brand set

As the weather has finally turned to autumn Emily is wearing a pair of stockings under the leg warmers (in place of socks, to prevent colour transfer and well the skirts a bit short). 

Woo woo woo woo

Here we go, woah

Carpet skating

Woo woo woo woo

Ah, maybe Coconuts trying to say wheels. 

Wee 

Oh no

A corner

Other skates in our midst. 

I could not find any branding on these inline skates. Miriam owns these. They close with straps and I'm going to call them snap buckles. 

Julie's skates. These are owned by Llewellyn. 

Awesome boot skates. Each wheel is a different colour. They have laces. 

Oh and almost forgot, Maddie also has a pair of inline skates we found online under 18" slim dolls. No branding on these either.

February was for Mariana. I did cheat and keep her for March as well (it should have been Josefina).  Mariana kind of liked this

The American Girl Photographer Outfit from 2009-2011. 

It includes a blazer, beret, pants and clogs. 

The red blazer is made of corduroy. It is really fine striped. Real working button. 

Felt beret

Pants, I really like the little bits of embroidery on this outfit. 

And clogs in faux suede. The back strap is elasticised velour 

The blazer definitely needed an undershirt. Mariana borrowed a pink t from one of the other items purchased during Feb/March. The true spirit outfit. 

Hmm something missing?

A camera of course. 

Say cheese.
