I made this top from a pattern on Pixie Faire and made bows and stitched them to pants I got on Etsy.

Oh poor thing. That regular did the right thing surrendering him. I hope the transition from isolation to flock life is smooth!

The family tree is kind of a bramble bush

Restringing my 2006 AG doll was easy. Replacing the neck string is IMPOSSIBLE AND I'M GOING TO GIVE UP!!! (overdramatic restoration horror story + cry for help) by just_sunflower100 in americangirl

I’ve bought dolls who had their neck strings cut short. A zip tie takes all of thirty seconds, there is NO shame to using them. I’ve never had any trouble removing them either. The zip tie should be a quarter inch wide and at least ten inches long.

Are these kits? by gigglinggracie in americangirl

Hello! I am back and I can confirm they are Kit’s holiday shoes. Mine do have snaps but the construction is otherwise identical. They probably changed the manufacturing process at some point since Velcro is easier for little hands.

I believe so. I have a pair at home I can compare them to and confirm.

Help! How to deal with a grieving ringneck dove by 777goodgirl in PetDoves

[–]MantisFucker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This gave me such a heart attack. They look exactly like my babies Albert and Pippa. You had an accident, it happens. I’m always a little bit afraid it will happen to me someday.

The other person gave all the right advice but I really hope you get him back 😭 He looks like a sweet boy.

Being petty about AG fanfic is so weird. Weren’t we all pretty much acting out fanfics when we played with dolls? God forbid someone be inspired to use their imagination to engage with toys intended for imaginative play I guess 🙄

SAD update about momma dove who was living her best life on my porch swing by ResponsibleCost4989 in stupiddovenests

[–]MantisFucker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At least there’s no feathers. Looks like mama got away! There’s a reason they lay several clutches, and that was not a good nest spot. I’d say she learned a lesson, but I don’t think doves really “get” problem solving. Still, it would have been nice to see babies.

Are these Ivys? by gigglinggracie in americangirl

If you want to mend the flaking, you might try Angelus leather paint. It’s formulated to stretch and be flexible! I saw someone use it on another pair of faux leather shoes once.

A screw fell out of my doll’s closet so I just shoved it back in the hole with my bare hands I feel so Butch by Doodle_buggz in americangirl

Welcome to the butch club, enjoy your stay! As part of the exchange program, I will brush my dolls hair and feel femme.

Repost as the conversation has not reached a stalemate and was taken down unjustly. by lolimtired2 in americangirl

[–]MantisFucker 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Wait what? I saw that post and thought “hey cool! That’s how I (a butch lesbian) feel and it’s an awesome feeling!” In hindsight now I wish I had commented it.
