Pretty proud of this girl, she was a fun experiment! And now I’m obsessed with designing paper dolls…

If you wanna make her yourself, she’s available here in PDF form! It’d really help me out, and I’d love to see how everyone assembles their little goth girl.

just realized I never posted about the awesome doll stuff I got for christmas!

in my stocking, I got a mini desk lamp (which works!!) and some tiny my little ponies from World’s Smallest. they’re so little and cute!! the lamp is going into the modern girls’ room right away, and the ponies will probably end up there too. I was super into my little pony as a kid so I’m super hyped to have some for my dolls.

not pictured here, but my little cousin also gave me a super cool needle punching kit im gonna use to make doll rugs. my grandma also gave me an ag gift card that im super grateful for, and i’m going it to use to get courtney at some point soon :)

anyway- wait. what’s that? oh it’s my aunt WITH THE STEEL CHAIR!!!

she made me an absolutely INCREDIBLE bag. she used all either vintage or recycled fabric because she knows how passionate I’ve been lately about shopping secondhand to reduce fabric waste. she even incorporated into the lining some fabric i had decorated while I was in high school- hold on. is that?

yes. yes it is. a second, smaller bag inside the first (already incredible) bag. I about lost my mind here, as my everyday bag for YEARS was one that she had me in high school of about this size. i was super sad to retire it this past summer, but it was starting to tear. I’m so glad to have my perfect bag back, made with just as much love as it’s predecessor- wait. no freaking way, is that-

that is a doll-sized version of the first bag. oh my god. wait. I feel something inside of it.

okay. I’m officially at a loss for words. not only did she make me two incredibly beautiful and functional bags for my own everyday use. she made matching bags. FOR MY DOLLS. and every one of the bags was made from vintage and recycled fabric.

in case you were wondering, yes, this is the same aunt who got me tiny dice for my birthday so my dolls can play dnd. she truly is the gift god.

it’s hard to portray in pictures the amount of love and detail put into each bag, but they’re absolutely incredible and I love them so much. im super excited to give them to some of my girls the next time I do an outfit change. the only problem is that I’m going to have to only pick two dolls to give them to!!!

i hope you’re all having a good start to the new year!

#agblr #american girl #american girl dolls #dollblr #ag dolls #my posts #I was super excited to share these with you guys but I hope this didn’t come off as braggy. I just want to share the joy!#I almost didn’t post this bc I was worried about that. but I really enjoy seeing other people share stuff like this #so I decided to go for it! 🥰#also all the bags were wrapped when i opened them up for real but I wasn’t going to waste wrapping paper to recreate that lol

Will (Truly Me #74) is enjoying one last day at the beach before school starts tomorrow. The summer has flown by! Sure wish I lived near a beach - taking photos on a paper beach is not easy! I will be visiting the Outer Banks in a couple of weeks, and am thinking about taking Joss or Kailey with me.

everywhere but here, I am the mom.

not the 'mom friend', not fun aunt or godmother, the big sister type you go to when you're at the end of your tether and you need a mom to clean up something nasty, kill a spider, unload on someone who can handle it and not make it about them, help you pull the trigger on a hard decision you've already taken but haven't accepted. I make things happen, I connect people, I do mediation and emotional prep; I tell people their full options and help them weigh it all up. You were pondering it for a while but you left here with a lawyer's appointment and a loan we both know is a 'pay it forward' gift. I carry the secrets and the bad memories so it makes sense you move on without me when all's well. The big sister thing means I feel like family and shelter but not really like an everyday friend

Here, I get to be Saffy, bit of a klutz, silly brained with a childlike wonder for creatures and well-designed things who can talk about fear of crowds, slowly healing the relationship with my own mum, I watch horror and post about my dog. That's who I want to be, a large facet of who I am internally buuut life rarely fits the idea we have of ourselves does it?

Part of repairing the imbalanced relationship with mum was letting her do some protective mothering so i can fill the desperate ache to have one person in the world who has my back, while making my support of her more streamlined and unspoken. You know the concept of the toilet paper fairy who makes loo roll appear and always knows when to buy more, that but for groceries, electronics and paperwork, and big decisions we carry together but it has to be very businesslike and unemotional: she's as much a big sweetheart as she is fiercely independent (and ashamed/angry her daughter had to carry half the load). So now she's the one who notices or who I go to when the world has asked me to be The Mom again.

I imagine it's a lot like gay penguins: there's an ecological vacuum of big sister-mom types and some of us just have the vibes.

This winter I've done a metric ton of non-judgmental, non-condescending temporary 'parenting' of women with parents who are gone or who can't handle it and friends who aren't friends-for-that-kinda-thing. I'm really good at it, at weathering a storm for someone and being an anchor. It doesn't hurt any more because mum can be an emotional mum to me.

but I'm never sure how to talk about it here between dolls and shitposts and if i'm not specific... I mean... "chronically ill/special needs person currently or previously in abusive relationship with parent/partner who takes a while to realize and accept abuse isn't just fists but sleep depravation and symptom minimization and all sorts of tiny things that add up to life-threatening injury to the body and mind" applies to many of us dollblr folks as it does like 80% of my social circle offline.

and there's no way of saying that being around some folks is like experiencing a slow motion train wreck without sounding like an asshole.

I am that asshole.

I am goatsed out and want to be a hermit.

Did I tell you guys my doctor vented for 45 minutes about having to put her "dumbass hysterical" sister (deaf and never put in school) into care and the paperwork involved in getting disability (the thing that took me 14 years and she got her sister's transferred in 3 weeks). and I truly empathize but that wasn't very professional and your sister is a person. please.

and I can't cut M out of my life now that her kid is, as predicted, like her (and the facebook-chosen not-yet-divorced deadbeat-dad of 3 special needs kids), an adorable barely verbal two-year-old. She won't be able to navigate special needs care alone but she's still staunchly anti-vax and had a diatribe of ableism mixed with mystical pseudoscience for me, interspersed with thanks for being more family to her than her sister in helping her know how to leave a bad relationship. hokay not making this easy.

S is going to be on the hook for tax evasion if she stays with the shady useless guy she's been babying (and resenting) for 20 years solely because she doesn't like to do activities alone. three times now I've been cornered for the vent sesh. I am sitting on the floor the next time, I need blood in my brain to emote properly. and that unneutered bulldog living in the south is a crime, it can't breathe it can't think, it's all hormones and anxiety covered in fur, of course it's a nuisance around the house.

and there's more but i'm tired of typing and thinking.

Just want to take a few minutes to rave about Austin Creative Reuse, the fabulous non-profit in my town that reduces landfill waste by collecting and organizing gently used craft materials and reselling them in their thrift shop. This reuse is completely in line with Evette's efforts in the World by Us series.

I wish I could give everyone on dollblr access to Austin Creative Reuse.

Most or all of y'all don't live in Austin, so why am I telling you about this place? It would be amazing it some day, any town big enough to financially support a walmart will also have a fabulous non-profit like ACR, keeping materials out of the landfill. Although many towns have clothing and book thrift stores, which is great, ACR includes materials that spur creativity. I am one person who has definitely explored crafting during the pandemic in an unprecedented way in my own life because of these affordable materials and supplies.

Gonna talk a little about the doll space I first showed in pics last night. I created the background for my doll space almost entirely from Austin Creative Reuse materials: core foam boards, scrapbook paper, and even the glue I used. The doll table is three pieces of wood I got from ACR for under a dollar, glued together, and painted. The amazing green flooring was $1, also from ACR.

ACR is a treasure trove of fabric, and I take particular pleasure in using small amounts of fabric which volunteers iron and fold and often sell in bundles with complementary fabrics. I don't have a good eye for matching fabrics myself, and I get inspired by what other folks have paired. Both dolls' dresses are sewn from materials from ACR.

The couch is made from reused fabric (my own, from a failed upholstery dye job....turns out those low-water washers are not a good place to dye fabric).

I've benefited so much from ACR that I do hope to give back by volunteering there, after I get past one upcoming thing in my personal life.

The last photo here is of the thorough doll space building inspectors who helped me out before last night's photo shoot....

Hey, friends on dollblr,

Besides posting on instagram and tagging AG, I am also going to snail-mail them a paper letter letting them know how disappointed I am in them for posting the stop-motion video World by Us episode 2 and changing Maritza's story so it no longer deals with immigration policy.

If you want to join me, here's the address:

American Girl

P.O. Box 620497

Middleton, WI 53562-0497

and if you'd rather do email, they have a form where you can send one here:

#maritza ochoa #world by us #character counts #families belong together #damnit AG i was starting to believe in you again
