SSC Sunday: Bicycle

SSC = Strawberry Shortcake

My mom has been slowly pulling all my old SSC's from storage and I'm really diggin' it. Brings back a crapload of memories. I've decided to document all my goods here each Sunday. Since I don't have every single piece and part to each doll, I've scoured the Internet for accurate photos. I've documented resources as best as possible. Call me out if not.

Strawberry Shortcake Bicycle

Sophie and I decided to decorate her bike in honor of Independance Day.

Look What I Un-Did

After creating the hole about the size of my fist in the kid's bathroom wall, I headed to Lowe's to figure out how the heck to patch it.

They have these cute little wall patch things that are made out of metal and this thin rope-like material in a grid pattern. Anyway, you stick it over the hole and slap some joint compound on it. Let it dry and sand it. (very messy by the way)

Here is the hole:



And here it is after I patched and sanded. You'll notice I went ahead and painted. Lucky for you, you are receiving a sneak peak at my color choice.



I painted over this and you can barely see the wound. I still may find some art to hang over this. Otherwise, I'll always notice it.

Look What I Did

I decided to paint the kids bathroom this weekend. It's so plain and boring and now that they don't share the bathroom with guests, I might as well make it their own.

I began by removing the old nasty towel racks. One of the came down nice and easy. The other?

Well, see for yourself.

"Oh fiddlestix!" I exclaimed. And then I shrugged my shoulders and continued whistling Zippiddy Doo Da.

Are you kidding me? I cussed very loudly and threw the towel rack across the room.

As you might imagine, this put a damper on finishing up what should have been a 2 hour project.

And no, I will not be giving a tutorial for patching holes in walls.

Here she stands in all her glory with Frappe Frog. Her golden hair curled to perfection. Such a gem.

Wow Jenn, you took great care of this one! Aside from the missing flower on her hat, she looks spectacular!

Thanks! I actually attempted giving her highlights when I was young.

She also had hand drawn earings. But my mom was able to wash those off. You should have seen the anger in her eyes when she saw this poor babe. Come to think of it, I'm suprised I'm still here to share this story...

Blog Slug

I know you are on pins and needles awaiting the next fabulous post I make on my blog.

Truth be known, I don't have one.

I'm a slug.

But I'm working on it. I'm aiming to get some projects done this weekend.

If you're lucky, I'll share.

Huckleberry Pie

Pretty sure this was the only boy in the bunch. Aside from The Peculiar Purple Pie Man. Not sure why the young boy would want to hang out with a bunch of chicks. Unless he was a bit...fruity?

Here's how he should look with his dog, Pupcake.

Here's mine. I don't remember if he had socks or not.

And here's something fun...that's me when I was 3 and a half at Halloween! 1982 baby!

Wristlet for a Toddler

How young is too young for a wristlet?

My niece's Birthday is coming up in July. I know, I'm WAY ahead of the game. I'm just as shocked as you.

So, I whipped up this cute little wristlet. "A" is the initial of her first name.



I tackled the zipper successfully for the 2nd time.

Me - 2, Zipper - 0



I'm so awesome that I even added a pocket.



PS - she'll be 2.
