forest girls

At the balcony.

Just before internet arrived, I had been sewing like a maniac to pass time.
This little outfit was made out of a white baby dress that I bought for cheap at a second hand shop in Jersey.

Hoodie Girl

I made her this coat. I wanted something similar to this, but without having to pay the price. Not that bad for a first attempt and without a pattern. :)

Waiting for some nice Re-ment boxes, dollhouse is being painted, ordered a light tent + professional lights set to be able to photograph in poor light conditions and I'm off to France later today. Life is good. ;)

Cooking breakie.

Ops, burnt toast!

I love this Kabaya Woodmate set. I got into a small bid war for the toaster, though. It's becoming rare and I ended paying $10 for the toaster alone - argh. Whatever; I'm happy. Too bad I can't seem to find the cooker that matches the sink. Please Ebay, be nice to me. :)

I did sew this dress for Renoir (matches her gorgeous red hair) a few months ago, using my mother's pattern (inspired of something I had seen on the internet) and I'm quite happy with the way it turned out. Sometimes I'm not that useless, after all.

I've sent Blossom (my Bouquet) and Dahlia (my Withered) faceplates to Linny for a repaint. Can't wait to see them back and beautiful again. :)

I would love, but.

Unoas are cute. I'm not so in love with the face (unless it has the right faceup), but the little body. And the legs. I love those legs. And this is not helping, really.The only problem is, they're pricy. To get them directly from Araki is an ordeal. Dealing with Crescent shop, Rinkya and similars is really not for me as the fees are ludicrous. It's almost like paying two dolls and getting just one. I think I'll have to pass, untill a very unlikely excelent opportunity to purchase one on DoA comes along. But considering my last experiences there, would I be brave enough to buy from the forum again?

Today the doorbell rang and it was my neighbour with a basket full of fresh fishes. He gave me five big ones because he had "overfished" that morning, so we'll have mackerel for dinner. Ah, the joys of living in the countryside... My tibetan wool wigs from Tinybear arrived a week ago. And my mother being here, I got clothes patterns for my BJDs, and here is Voltaire modeling her new wig AND the result of my first attempt on sewing something mildly decent.

Got payment for the Zoukeimura eyes I was selling on DoA. That could mean two things: a new faceup for Dominique OR more funds to rest on my Paypal. I am still in two minds if I should keep her or not. I bought some elastic and will tring to re-string her tonight. So far I was never able to play with her because she can't stop kicking and her torso joint even made my finger bleed once. :( If I have no success tonight, it'll be another reason to let her go... Wich will pain me since she has always been one of my favorite head molds. Let's see.

Spider webs?

Well, let's try to keep this thing here updated, yes?

Last failed attempt to make an outfit out of felt. But I won't give up so easily. :)

Waiting impatiently for that big, fat Luts package. Ah, the feeling of receiving one! As you open it and stare at all the beauty in the world turned into a piece of resin, you suddenly wonder why would you need people at all. :)

And today I had to fill another Paypal complaint. It tires me having to do it so many times because of people who will be all up to replying my emails when I say I want to BUY their stuff - but as soon as the payment is sent, their lives suddenly become oh-so-busy-and-interesting-and-troubled that they do not have time to email you back leting you know your payment was received, or that they posted your stuff - left alone actually POSTING it. I'm fed up with having to put up with this lack of consideration. Nhe.

In the attic...

Husband will be away for three days, I was going to have a mega-dollie-party, but my plans failed as I woke up this morning with the headache of the century + vomited all the great dinner we had at Moita's, a portuguese restaurant. The situation is so bad that I didn't even bathe today - I'm feeling miserable.Plus, after dinner I made Alaric take me out to dance and so we went to good old Chicago Rock, where a girl dressed like Alice in Wonderland (some stones heavier than the original character, though) was spinning round in the middle of the dance flour as she was Madonna at Hung Up video. Like, H-E-L-P.

I went to bed half past two in the morning, and I hate to admit that I am not used to this sort of thing anymore. Here I wake up early and go to bed early. Two weeks to go to Brasil, suitcase being packed, so much to do.

Out of complete boredom, been sewing for the girls.
Blossom decided to model one of the outfits. Not great pattern, but what the hell. :)

A bit of saturation and the little red fur coat looks more like a living thing. :)
