Blythe Manna Energy Dress Drive

Remember my brief mention earlier this month about a charity related sewing I got myself into? I managed to finally pack up the finished items (made little by little over time) and sent them out last week. The sets reached Gina Garan, organizer of this particular dress drive safely today (woot!)

Flowers and Clovers

Only managed to take some quick indoor lighting pictures before I packed up the dress sets (oops) but if you’re interested in viewing my creations…

A test sewing and good mail friday

Lemonbuttercup looking like a vase holding some tulips ;P

Feels like I haven’t sewn in a long time ^^; Sometimes before I sew an actual item I want to make, I need some “warm up” sewing ^^; I picked a friend’s pattern she generously shared on flickr to try out :) Warm up sewing usually means it’s not perfect lol!

Mail Loot for the dollies

A couple of beautiful hand made dresses arrived in the mail!  They are carefully made by joeykblythe and were meant for my Lati yellow dollies, but 2 other dolls actually jumped into them faster than speeding bullets ^^; Picture above was taken after I made those 2 take them off (you believe me? lol)

Daisy and Clover photoshoot :)

Below is a photo of Clover, the little lambie hand puppet for 11-12 inch tall dolls —  he could also be a finger puppet for humans! Clover belongs to Daisy, a custom blythe doll more back story here.

I know Blythe dolls are not everyone’s cuppa tea, but since they got me started on my dolly obsession hobby, I really have no reason to not feature them every now and then, even tho I have started owning some other types of dolls, like Licca, Mamachapp, Dollfie Dream etc.  Today I am going to feature some current photos of my visiting blythe and her little companion, Daisy and Clover. Daisy currently belongs to a dear friend of mine living a few hours drive away, I originally conceptualised, customised and sew most of her outfit to enter a Blythe Beauty Contest held by CWC in Japan.

Lots more photos! Read more

Update on Daisy and Clover

Time sure flies! My husband was reminding me that I haven’t updated this site for a while (oops) Sorry about that! ^^; Just been really busy that is all! I do miss my dolly time tho ;_; While I do not have much time to sew very much these days, I still play with my dolls once in a while :) I will be posting some pictures I took of some of my dolls here for now, until I get more time to do sewing again ^^;
