Getting oh so cold

I purchased these tights, and decided to try and make a warm sweater for Lusis. It was nearly impossible to sew, and ended up a bit bulky, but I knew it probably would 😛 Still, it looks allright and is warm!

scarf was gift from nine9style, tights are TTYA

I just love the colors and patterns

cozy <3

My trims are here :D

Yes! I love it when things arrive, teehee!
I needed some trims for future dresses, and the brown trims I used on the brown kitty dress were so perfect, they have stretch so they are perfect for straps, but can also be just as perfect as bottom trims on skirts and stuff. I looked up where I bought the brown ones earlier, and to my joy she had several other trims with elastics as well!
I bought white, red and pink checkered, and she added hot pink as a gift! I love it when sellers do that, gifts makes me feel happy and appreciated as a buyer, and she added a big amount too, so I can actually use it for something.

white, gift hot pink, pink and red trims!

The white actually has a sort of shimmer to it, and I was planning on making christmas dresses with it so it’s absolutely perfect. The red is also for christmas projects 🙂 The pink is, well, I love pink, so I know I’ll have use for it 😀 The hot pink will also be used, heehee 😀
I should have my leekeworld package next week too, it just got out of customs, I’m expecting a customs fee on it though, but I’m sure it’ll be worth it.

Random photos from my flickr :D

And also, I just had to take a photo, I decided to try different eyes for Claudia and Alice the other day, and I’ve never, ever seen two dolls look so completely lost and confused, lol ^^ Safe to say I had to switch back to their blue ones right after this:

Poor things, lol ^^

While I was writing this, one of the bobby pins in my hair fell out and I completely freaked because I thought it was a spider.

Lotsa bags!

I tried another pattern and also tried to improve on the old pattern!

 All 3 bagsThis is all 3 bags, the one on the left is a new pattern, the one in the middle is the first bag I made only I ironed it to make it shape differently on the sides, and the one on the right is the same only with lining.

Closeup of all bags:

Bag #2
Bag #3

A bag, and hairclip!

I tested the bag pattern from DollyDolly coordinate recipe. It was fast and fun to make, but doesn’t have lining so it’s not very pretty on the inside. I’ll probably try to make my own bag patterns eventually.

Aaand.. Earlier I ordered some snap buttons from etsy, and she included a couple of free goodies with my order! Two of these gifts were hair clips with stars on them, and of course I put them in Luna’s hair straight away. She looks so beautiful with them:

I want more of these!

I want Chloe home NOW!
Seriously, this is going to be the worst wait EVER. And when she is finally here I know I’m going to have major issues doing her face-up, because it has to be perfect!
I asked Fairyland on Twitter if there is still delays on orders, and they said no, but they’ll be going on some holiday thing later so she will in fact be a few days delayed because of that. As far as I know that holiday only lasts a few days, 3 or 4, so thats fine. Sooo I can expect her home in 50-60 working days.
If I counted correctly, 50 working days will be on the 14th of november, and 60 working days will actually be on my birthday! The 28th of november. I couldn’t have asked for a better birthday present 😀 Even if the wait will be horrid 😛 I’m still hoping that she’ll take a bit less since I ordered her blank. Live in hope and dreams, right? 😀
A part of me is still debating if I should purchase another doll, wait to see if there will be new dolls released that I want, or just blow the small amount of cash on wigs, eyes, clothes and stuff for sewing. I really want another doll but funny thing, there isn’t a single one out there that I’ve seen that I can’t live without 😛 I really like Rosen Lied Beige, but my heart doesn’t jump when I see her. I’ve also been toying with the idea of a Narae, but I’m just not sure about her (and she is also out of my price range right now).
And of course I went and fell in love with Pipos Derek basic edition 2. I think he is soooo beautiful, but seing as I just sold off my anthros because I didn’t enjoy them as much, getting a YOSD sized GUY cat, lol, probably not the best idea 😛 But I really think he is stunning… The basic face-up with the little scar and everything, aah..
Too much talk from me again today, here is a photo of a pair of socks I made for Lusis yesterday:

Failed dress, but still okay!

I wanted to make a dress for Alva. Turns out that fabric was horrible to sew with, and while I wanted it to be foofy it turned out Waaaay too foofy 😛
To save the dress, I added a ribbon around her waist. Now the dress actually looks sort of beautiful, and Alva isn’t complaining, thats for sure 😉

Oh, I also upgraded my Flickr account to pro. I really didn’t want only my latest 200 photos to show, and since I actually use Flickr very often and love it so much, I might as well pay 😛

I really like Flickr. At first I didn’t use it for much, but it really is a community! People started adding me and fav’ing my photos, and I started doing the same, and I’ve met some lovely people that way! $25 for one year is absolutely fair for all that 😉
