Hi there! I haven’t blogged in forever and a half, but Britts has finally let me have ago. Obviously she hasn’t realised how truly good at this I am. Well anyway.
So over in WA we have a public holiday to day. It was a long weekend, so we got Saturday and Sunday off school like normally, plus Monday, which I think is a pretty good deal. Because Britts didn’t have to go to school we decided to go to Perth city! We had to sit in the car for what felt like hours, because it’s so far away. I read Nancy Drew and looked out the window, so it wasn’t too boring.
When we got to the city we visited a park. We don’t have any pictures, but it has a really cool spinning swing that is like what I think a ship must be like. It sways everywhere!
After we played for a bit we went for a walk around the river. We crossed the Narrows Bridge, which was really scary and fun. It was super windy and the cars go so fast!
After we crossed the Narrows we came across this little underpass thing. It’s a really pretty blue colour and it has red and yellow tiles that are circles.
Today I drew this picture of Matilda in Photoshop. Do you like it? I personally think she looks a bit shocked, but I’m still pleased with it :P

Lots of people have been asking me for ideas for making doll food from foam. Here are some ideas I came up with for a full lunch!
I hope you like my ideas! What doll food have you made?

So sorry that I haven’t posted this sooner!
Our winner for the 2nd Birthday Giveaway was Madie! Congratulations!

In just over a week I’ll be celebrating 2years of Australian Girl Fan dot com! I’m really excited, and I’ve put together a couple of surprises to celebrate. (Think music video and free stuff!)
I’ve got over 100 followers and subscribers now, and I’m having trouble replying to comments and emails reliably, so I though it would be fun for me to put together an ask Britts video for my websites 2nd birthday!
Here’s how it works :)
Ask me anything you want! It can be about dolls, blogging, me, whatever! (if it’s personal I won’t answer it. Sorry, I’m not too fond of stalkers!) You can ask me as many questions as you like!
You can send your questions to me via comments, emails, YouTube, twitter (@australiangirld), or my Facebook page. Please make sure they’re all in to me by the 21st of April!
I’ll make a video to answer all your Questions!!

When you’re making a room for your dolls windows are one of the hardest thinks to make ‘real’. Today I’m going to show you how to make an easy and realistic window for your doll house.
You will need:
•A sushi mat. (You can often find these in places like IGA or Red Dot. )
•Sticky tack. (You’ll need quite a lot)
•Pretty fabric. I used a piece of 4in lace, but you can experiment with anything.
•(this is optional) some ribbon
Break your blob of sticky tack into three smaller blobs and stick a bit in the top corners of your sushi mat. Stick the other piece in the middle. Press the top of the sushi mat to your wall. The more sticky tack you use, the better it will stick.
Drape your fabric over the top of the sushi mat like a curtain. Attach it by poking a bit of the sushi mat through a hole in the fabric. (If your fabric doesn’t have holes in it like my lace does, cut a small hole on each corner)
You’re done! You can now use some ribbon to tie the curtains back!

Well, once again Britts has missed a day! Sorry girls! I need to remember to take photos before dance! I also forgot today, because I thought it was still only Monday! Luckily I had a photo saved to my phone, so I cropped out the outfits that the girls were wearing. :)
I’m changing the way that outfit Tuesday works, too. Several people were confused, and voted wrong, so I’ve come up with an easier way.
every Tuesday I will post an outfit. I’ll give it a name and tell you where I got the clothes and shoes from. On the last week in the month I will post all the outfits together and you can vote for your favorite!
The first outfit is called Autumn Flowers . It is made up of:
•The white tshirt from the everyday skirt set (I also removed the small bow from it)
•The flowery skirt from the Funky Comfy
•The Mary-Jaynes from the Funky Comfy
I like how this outfit is pretty without being super frilly and pink. It would be great for visiting friends!
The second outfit is called Spring has Sprung. It is made up of:
•A flowery tshirt made by me, tucked up at the back.
•The white vest from the Vest Set
•A pair of flared jeans from an unknown source
This outfit is just what I would wear! It’s lots of fun, but still cute and girly!
Let me know what you think of the outfits in the comments!
~Britts xx
P.S. a fun craft is coming up soon!
I hope you all have a wonderful Easter! What did you and your dolls do to celebrate? We had an Easter egg hunt!
Love, the crew at AuGF,
Britts, Amy-Jayne, Rose, Jasmin, Felicity, and Matilda xxx
Hi girls! Time for another outfit Tuesday! Sorry that this wasn’t actually posted on Tuesday! I had an extra long dance class and ran out of time. :)
I was also hoping to do a Saint Patrick’s Day post, but once again, I had dance. To make up for it one of this weeks outfits is all green! :)
I’m doing 2 outfits this week so that there will be four outfits per month, even though I missed the first week of March.
Every Tuesday I will be posting a picture of one of my dolls modeling and outfit. Your job will be to rate it out of ten ! At the end of each month I’ll post the outfit that got the highest score!
Rose is wearing a cute pink t-shirt with a butterfly on it. She is wearing a denim mini-skirt with decorative stitching (sewn by me). She has the pink canvas flats from Australian Girl on her feet! :)
AJ’s outfit is for St. Patrick’s day! She has on her meet skirt, a green t-shirt (also made by me), and Jasmine’s meet shoes with the bows removed.
Now it’s your turn! Leave a comment with a score out of ten for each outfit!
Shine on!

Normally I don’t like to do non doll related posts, but I’m breaking the rules for a very important request.
Today a friend of my family passed away. He had been battling leukemia for over a year.
I am doing the World’s Greatest Shave to raise money to support families like his. The money I earn will be given to the Leukemia Foundation. The money will then be used for cancer research and supporting cancer sufferers and their families.
I’ll be dying my hair blue because it was his favorite color.
My goal is to raise $100-enough to buy a doll (almost, I rounded it down).
I’d really appreciate any support-even if it’s only a couple of dollars.
To sponsor me visit: http://my.leukaemiafoundation.org.au/personalPage.aspx?registrationID=434805
Thank you all!
Love you!

(sorry if this looks odd-I’ve posted it from my phone)
I’m sure by now most of you know that I am a girl of many crazy ideas. For those of you who didn’t know that, now you do.
One day a few weeks ago it occurred to me that it would be great fun to make a magazine for my fictional dance school that my dolls attend. I got together all of the dance related doll items that I had and began my photoshoot. I must apologise for the low quality of the pictures, my room has terrible lighting and the idea of lugging 5 dolls plus piles of clothes out to the yard was not particularly appealing.
To make the front cover I wanted a really nice picture, so I took Jasmine outside and took a picture of her in the nicer lighting (still not a great photo, but it could be a lot worse!)
Jasmine dressed up in her leo and tights for the magazines front cover
all the girls dressed in there leotards. Which colour would you choose?
Fee and Jasmin modle some dance shorts (Both from Australian Girl) Would you choose pink or green?
Ballet must haves!
Don't forget dance shoes! You can get Dance Sneakers in AGAD colours, socks for beginner dancers, tights, ballet shoes/slippers, and plain white dance sneakers!
I hope you enjoyed our magazine! Do your dolls dance? If they do, would you send them to the Australian Girls Academy of Dance? What would you buy for them?
Shine on!

Working on the ad for the Australian Girl Club back in November was tons of fun! I went to a friends house to film, because of all the great lighting and places to shoot. I was loaded with cameras and camera gear. First, I talked to my ‘cast’ about the different ‘sketches’ we needed to [...]

After my last post Pat sent me a picture of her doll bed that was made for her by a friend. Isn’t it nice? Pat said that the very pretty quilt cover is actually a baby quilt that she found in an op shop! Thanks so much for sending in this picture, Pat! •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• If [...]

In August I had been looking for bunk bed designs for my doll room. I found lots of possibilities, but there was one that I liked the most. I found it on a website called Ana White, Homemaker. Ms. White’s website is full of great DIY projects for around the house, but she also has [...]

Just over a week ago I got a beautiful new doll! Yes, I finally got Matilda! I love her to bits! Her hair is amazing! The curls are wonderful (I wish my hair curled as nicely as hers, most of the time mine is a frizzy mess by the end of the day!)! I’ve had [...]

“So, what do you think?” AJ asked the girls as they stood around the pitiful looking tree AJ had proudly placed in the corner of the bedroom. The other girls looked awkwardly at each other. “It looks a bit…er…squashed…” muttered Felicity, keeping her eyes on the ground. “Well, duh!” said AJ “It hasn’t been ‘fluffed’ [...]

Two years ago today, I posted my very first post on this website! I’ve had a great two years with you all! I’m very proud to be where I am today, and I’d like to say a very big THANK YOU to you all for being so amazing! Without out you all there would be no Australian Girl Fan. Having this website has given me so many new opportunities! I’d also like to say the very biggest THANK YOU ever to Australian Girl for putting up with all my questions and requests for the last 2 years!
To say thank you for a great 2 years, I’ve put together a few fun things for you all! First is a stop animation video for you all to enjoy. The song is ‘World Go Boom’ and is a mash-up by DJ Earworm This is made up of about 150 pictures (which isn’t that many, but I used a lot of ken burns and such) and took 5 hours to edit. Enjoy!
The next surprise is a Giveaway! To make it easier I’ve set up a whole new page just for entering the giveaway, so head over to www.australiangirlfan.com/giveaway to enter! Any entries posted here will be removed, so make sure you comment on the right page!
There is one prize pack to be won. It includes:
Thanks once again for all being so wonderful! I love you all!
I’d love to know what your favourite things are about my website, and what you think could be better! Leave a comment below if you want to let me know! :)
