Tenney: Creating Tenley Blaire Grant


Her eyes are sooooooo pretty 😍😍😍

♡ Creating Tenley ♡


I uhm… have no comments… I’d seen dolls wrapped weirder 😂

*anyway* 


She came with these really cute bird earrings! (Although I will confess, it took me a solid thirty seconds to realize they were birds....) 



I have some questions about her outfit. Like when I bought her I figured it was a My Life or OG outfit… and then I realized it’s American Girl??? Like AG… I’m disappointed in you.  Your outfits and styles are supposed to be better than this. This dress is just… it’s low. 

Anyway! 

Priority #1: taming her hair. 


*the hair tie got stuck, which is just… icky. There’s something about that feeling of hair being knotted around a hair tie that is just… ick for me* 

*I was able to get it out, yay!* 

First round with conditioner! 


I ran out of… my mind just blanked… what are they called? Pipe cleaners! Wow that took me a solid minute 😭 I wanted to call them twisty ties... anyway

*taking a break to eat some Birthday Eve birthday cake because my mom just went above and beyond like that, shoutout to her* 


# Problem solved 😭😂

 ✨ While we’re waiting for the hair to dry ✨

The seller was SUPER sweet and sent me a bunch of bonus items… one of which was a doll hat… Y'all I had a doll hat already, but it’s that blue shark one and it’s SO flimsy so it does NOT work for my Cassie/Adam aesthetic… guys I CANNOT get over this. 

One of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE things is being able to dress dolls in their aesthetics. Caspian finally feels SO complete to me…. Like just the satisfaction…. I’m so obsessed.

I’ve been fangirling over him for WAYYY too long.  



Anyway! Back to Tenley. I need a nickname… ] This post is gonna take me a few days so hopefully I’ll have something by the end of this. 

I took her hair out…. After maybe 45 minutes 😅😂 (so much for waiting for it to air dry) 
But this is what it looks like out of the curlers! I didn’t want the tight curls I had for Caroline, maybe that's why I took them out so soon.
I think my initial plan was just to shape them and have them relax?? Idk I haven’t looked at her yet this morning so I have NO clue how it dried…. But this is how it looked last night out of the curlers and I think it’s just BEYOND adorable. 


annnndddd ya!
That's all folks! 

Happily welcoming Miss Tenley Blaire Grant!

    She's gorgeous! Although with your repaints, there was no way she wouldn't be stunning. Her hair is literally GOALS.
    Honestly Tenney is... not my favorite. I don't think I'd be able to get rid of mine because I want to keep my Tenney and Logan together. (I love Logan.) They had a whole storyline together at one point... I should make some photostories about it.

      Tenney was never my favorite either (she's still not tbh) but she's just so different to where I wanted to try repainting one. I think it's just the freckles... idk I'm still on the fence about it.

    The photos you took of Tenney are stunning! And I loved reading about her whole makeover process :) Also, so true about the way people package dolls. It's always a surprise when you buy a used doll, lol.

“This isn’t the Hawaii I know”

Hey guys!! Happy… technically it’s still Saturday! I’ve been meaning to post this for a month 😅 and I had some pictures with Lilo in the snow, and I had other indoor ones… but they just… they weren’t Lilo.  And obv, when I received Lilo… it was “snow” season. Try taking pictures of an  island and beach doll in the snow??? It doesn’t work. So! We have finally gotten a break from our extreme winter conditions and as a result I drove out to the beach (I desperately need to take her to the ocean) to try and officially take some decent pictures of Miss Lili’uokalani!  It’s not the Hawaii she knows, although it’s still beach! I’m not madly in love with the photos, but I hope you enjoy!  Take Me to the Beach -  A Lilo photo dump  We finally have some photos that feel… a little closer to Moana  The lighting in all of these makes me want to sob internally. And I just whisper *vintage postcards, vintage postcards* to myself over and over again that way I like t...

Tattoo Tour - Caspian Jake Palmer

*Friendly reminder:  I freehand EVERYTHING, so the ones that look off... don't judge too harshly, that just means I didn't wake up with my painting abilities that day.*  I LOVE doing tattoo updates, and if you follow my Pinterest you know my posts are just full of those, but I figured, why not just make a chaotic post of me going more in depth about my favori—ahem I’m sorry I don’t play favorites—the doll who inspired me to create RestlessRoseDolls: ✨ Mr. Caspian Jake Palmer✨  I’ve been working off and on on him for… Roughly three years now? I just kinda find random tattoos that I like and go oh! That would be cool! So… idk he’s like a beautiful mosaic because there is no design or layout behind this.  But I will do a little background about him before I get into the actual “tattoo” part…  Here’s a really bad picture of him and Ty, but I just wanted to include it because it was WAY before I started filling in his sleeves and it is just SO wacky for me to remembe...
