Buon Natale from Francesca! 🎄

Francesca Vitale, one of my original characters, is an Italian girl in 1920s Pittsburgh. Having lost her mother in the 1918 flu pandemic and as the daughter of a hardworking steelworker, Francesca finds her voice and comfort in her close-knit Italian community.

For Christmas Eve she can’t wait to help Tia Zita cook up a surprise for her family and friends.

Francesca is a Ruthie doll but I’m planning to curl and bob her hair eventually. Her dress is from Donna’s Dollhouse on Etsy.

(When I first heard about Lila, I was excited— since I was a kid I always wanted an Italian-American doll though I hoped she’d be a historical. Of all my OCs, Francesca’s (and Karine’s) concept is most inspired by my family history.)

A wild Ruthie appears!

I've never been a major fan of AG's Ruthie, probably because I grew up with the books, so making them look like the movie characters made no sense to me. I've made a couple of other versions, but they weren't THE Ruthie. I'm happy with this one.

I haven't technically broken my New Year's resolution to not by any dolls - I bought the head and already had all the other parts. The face used to be Grace, but came with no eyes or wig, which is perfect because I always mentally pictured Ruthie with freckles, and knew what I wanted her to look like. This may also be the fastest custom I've ever done. I got the head at this evening and was done by 9:00, including de-frizzing her curls.

Now I have the right girl to build her collection with!

Please excuse it's overall messy look, but I made this trundle bed a little bit ago and completely forgot to show you guys! I used MyFroggyStuff's tutorial for an 18 inch doll trundle bed and made it completely out of cardboard and old flat sheets. I made the mattresses and bedding, and added the little plush pillows. The little crocheted blanket is thrifted, so I can't exactly tell you where it's from. I wanted to test out my ability to make handmade doll furniture just in case I have the room for an 18 inch doll house when I move, and I'm pretty happy with how this turned out!

Kit and Ruthie are having a little backyard party.

And telling secrets under the arbor.

It’s a delicious summer feast with treats and decorations.

Doll house photos under the read more

Alright so I haven’t had time to buy contact paper for the flooring, or figure out wallpaper, or even finish decorating some of these rooms but here’s the current progress!

First up, Kits room! Kit, Ruthie and Sterling (played by Eli) are plotting their next adventure!

Below that we have Samantha’s room, where Rebecca is also hanging out! I got Samantha’s bed, nightstand and Clara (plus the dress that Nellie is in) from a really great Facebook marketplace find! Also I wanted Rebecca’s menorah to be on display until I have the space for a room specifically for Rebecca!

Next up we have the parlor! At the moment it’s Elizabeth and Felicity taking tea in there (with Lydia serving tea) but I plan to switch between it being for Elizabeth and Felicity, Caroline and Lydia, & Cecile and Marie-Grace! So my goal is to try and get the back walls looking similar to Caroline’s parlor! Also I don’t know if I’ve properly introduced Lydia because I got her in the same week as Lindsey and Emily (I didn’t intend to buy 3 dolls that week lol), but this is my gorgeous truly me #21 that I found for pretty cheap on Mercari about a month or 2 ago.

Then on the other bookcase we have Courtney’s bedroom! I plan to move the shelf above this up to give it a higher ceiling and set out more of Courtney’s sleepover stuff but for now her and Abby are enjoying just hanging out!

Above that we have the game room, which currently only has my GOTY’s on display. Joss and Corrine are in a heated game of air hockey, while Kailey and Lindsey are on the computer. I was shocked to see the twin’s computer at the benefit sale this past year and I’m soooo glad I picked it up!

Here’s a better look at Kailey and Lindsey on the computer.

Then finally we have the room that I plan to change out for different scenes. Right now it’s a camping scene. Originally it just had Nicki, Mia and Sprocket, but my mom was like “you should add Luciana and her telescope!” So now Luci is third wheeling Mia and Nicki’s camping date 😂 (did I mention my Nicki and Mia are dating? Bc they’re dating)

I can’t wait to figure out wallpaper and flooring but that’ll probably take a few weeks since I know I’m traveling next weekend, and then pride is the weekend after that. (Yes I know it’s October but they wait til it’s cooler out where I live bc it’s unsafe to hold pride in the middle of summer bc of the heat). But hopefully I’ll have some wallpaper and flooring done by Halloween!

i just got ruthie’s accessories secondhand, and i was absolutely blown away by her little watch!

they used lenticular printing to create a watch face that could shift between two times 😱

the effect is even cooler in person - it was hard to get the camera to focus on the tiny details.

Ruthie has borrowed Kit's Reporter Dress (from 2009) for today's photo shoot! Ironically, considering that in the books the opposite happens, Ruthie has a terribly small collection, so she'll be borrowing a lot of Kit's clothing from now on.

using the tiermakers made by @americangirlstar and coming up with some interesting metrics for how the girls' collections are distributed. Samantha has the biggest one, despite currently being cubed (T_T), with Molly as a close second, partially due to all the reprints and re-releases she's had. Poor Claudie has the smallest collection by far.

even MORE info/observations under the cut:

i accidentally put caroline's cow under outfits instead of accessories, o o p s

Rebecca's last category is supposed to say "Somehow both clothes and furniture/accessories" - Rebecca's Costume Chest and Rebecca's School Play Set were both available at one point or another with the furniture/accessories as separate components and at a different point bundled together like in the pictures, and her Seashore Set always came with the chair.

NOT adjusted for reprints, re-releases, revamps that change the accessories (i.e. Addy's Kite-Flying Outfit/Flower-Picking Outfit aka Dress and Bouquet/Blue Dress, which are all the same dress but with different accessories) or adjustments under the same name (i.e. the four variations of Molly's dog Bennett)

best friends and their collections are grouped with the main historicals

some of these were kind of hard to determine what was "furniture" vs "accessories", so my general rule of thumb was:

Dolls: if what you purchased would include the doll itself, as well as mini dolls

Outfits: clothes for the doll - had to be composed of at least either a full body outfit OR shirt/pants - shoes/socks/hats/ribbons/etc that came with them are included

Accessories: shoes/socks/hats/ribbons/etc that needed to be purchased SEPARATELY from the doll or an outfit (i.e. Samantha's Elegant Hat and Muff was sold separately from her Plaid Cape and Gaiters despite always being pictured together) OR small handheld items, such as dolls for the dolls and other toys OR pets, as they're clearly meant to compliment the collection.

Furniture: obviously things like tables and chairs, but also big items like trunks or playsets, and small items, like table settings. basically if it could qualify as a household furnishing, it would go here.

Girls + Misc: Clothes or other accessories, life-sized edition.

Books + Misc: books, puzzles, games, you name it, as long as it's printed and for humans to use

??????: stuff that didn't fit anywhere OR i couldn't tell what it was

I couldn't decide where some items belonged - the horses are big and expensive enough that they should qualify as furniture, but theyre yknow. animals. which were all going in accessories otherwise, since they're clearly part of a collection complementing the doll and not just a standalone item.

The funniest case of this is probably Felicty's sister Polly, who could reasonably be categorized as either of those (comes with cradle, which is household furnishings; is clearly meant to compliment Felicity's collection, like the pets) OR a doll (cause she. is one.)

If you’re willing to do American Girl mood boards, could you do Courtney Moore? Or perhaps Ruthie Smithens? Thank you!

Thank you for the request! I've been neglecting the American Girl boards, so I'll definitely add these to the queue :)

It’s finally that time of year where kids tell their parents the night before the due date that they need poster board!!

I was predominately homeschooled, but the novelty of in person school is so interesting to me. The flip top desks are so cool, and I always wanted one in my room growing up.

(I’m actually taking the ACT when this posts, so send me good vibes!! Scheduled post, obviously.)

Speaking of flip top desks, this is the inside of Ruthie’s desk!! She definitely isn’t winning any clean desk awards, but who is?
