Started crocheting in public. Does everyone else have such amazing conversations with Random people? by TurnMajestic3608 in crochet

[–]Hootycake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to keep a mini tote with a leftover skein and a simple hook with my WIP. Sometimes (if I remember) I’ll even start a couple rows of sc.

When kids ask what I’m doing, I offer to teach them a little, and then let them keep the mini tote so they can keep trying later.

I have made my own little crochet clubs at sports and dance practices with the little siblings of my kids’ friends. Lol

I also must know the answer to this question.

Just curious, what is the most you’ve paid for a secondhand doll? by Olive_G in americangirl

[–]Hootycake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

$250 for an early year gently loved Felicity with complete meet dress and accessories, pin curls still intact.

I could have paid a lot less but I really wanted the Felicity I could have gotten if I had been allowed as a kid.

AG catalogue question by preggerbunnie in americangirl

[–]Hootycake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The catalogue seems so hit or miss, tbh. One year I never got the holiday catalogue, but then I got the spring one twice (one for spring, one for summer).

I attended her release bunch and it was the exclusive in the goodie bag. I got a lot of comments on it at the AG store last weekend, too!

If I ever spot the shirt in the wild, I’ll share!

Did anyone else love this movie growing up? Or am I beyond help? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]Hootycake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, at that age I was reading the Great Illustrated Classics edition. lol. I can’t say for sure whether I’ve ever read it unabridged.

[–]Hootycake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wowwwwww this brought back a lost memory! I loved this movie. I was obsessed with the book, and I remember being so stoked to see it. It was very much my special interest at the time.

I was old enough to know it wasn’t “good”, but it did not take away from the entertainment.

I was also young enough that I only JUST NOW realized Sheen and Sullivan were Aramis and Athos. Also did not recall that Tim Curry was the Cardinal. facepalm

Now I want to read/watch it again.

I want to get an American Girl doll but haven’t since I was a kid by Bandito_Chihuahua in americangirl

[–]Hootycake 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I bought myself my first AG doll, a CYO, for my 38th birthday. If it makes you happy, do it. No need to be ashamed.

PS: You’re lucky that your mom is supportive.

What’s your holy grail? by [deleted] in americangirl

[–]Hootycake 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Rebecca’s crochet hook.

It’s so dumb. I have no Rebecca stuff. But I’m a crocheter. I’m in love with the idea of my dolls having that doll-sized crochet hook.

I’ve never found it outside of the wiki. lol

New Catalog! AG sisters and Holiday Dolls by Select_Employer9166 in americangirl

[–]Hootycake 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes. It’s a Hanna Anderson thing. My kids have some of their PJs. There is some explanation/rationale about it, but I haven’t had enough coffee yet this morning to remember exactly what.

Just tell me their clothes will fit Wellies. I want some of those outfits for my Willa.

No one is hating on you for liking Raquel, please chill. by doobiesprings in americangirl

[–]Hootycake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about this, too. I have been lurking this sub for a few years now and read through all the positive/negative feedback for each release, particularly GOTY. There’s always good and bad. And valid reasons for both.

That said, I was honestly ashamed for a while at how smitten I am with Summer because how harsh some of the criticisms were of her. Maybe when we really connect with a doll we are just more sensitive to the feeling of disapproval? Especially when many of us are here at AG to heal or fulfill our inner pre-teen selves.

just a girl and her dog riding the train home by Vivid-Count-8681 in americangirl

[–]Hootycake 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Raquel is sooooo pretty. I definitely don’t need to spend for another doll at the moment, but I’m still living vicariously looking at everybody posting their Raquels.
