London February Meet

March 3rd, 2010

Another great meet with lovely dollies and their owners.

Only hung out for a short while as had a Mika concert to go to in the evening, which was great btw!

So much candy! Thanks to all who sponsored that mountain!

Made Cinnamon an outfit that was just cut and sew but turned out really well despite that fact. Rather pleased with it actually. Sometimes the whole pattern making thing is just too tiring and boring.

Chibis by Krowbar are amazing! Named them Madicken and Elisabet after the Swedish novels by Astrid Lindgren. Madicken is a bit of a tomboy and trouble maker and her little sister Elisabet is more sweet and innocent – thought it fitted them well.

And made Elisabet a new dress that I thought would fit her but now has turned out too small due to the nature of the fabric – bummer – think I will have to sell it on Etsy… Don’t really see Hel wearing it – somehow a little too flowery – but maybe… Will leave it for a while anyway.

Valentine Mini Meet at Edinboro Castle

February 14th, 2010

Normally never go out on Valentines as the whole roses and hearts thing kinda gives me the creeps but did this year.

However, in a dollie context it is more digest able and  rather sweet ^^

Met at Edinboro Castle as has become the habit for these mini meets and were approached by staff who asked if they could snap some pics of our dolls and put on their Facebook page. Sure thing!

Good day out!

Oh, and made Sasara new PJ for the meet from a sale PJ.

And handed Chibis over to Krowbar to get faces – can’t wait to see them finished ^^

Dollfie Dream Mio

February 12th, 2010

Kyoto Dollpa DD girls have been revealed and Mio is one of them.

Sigh. I do have a thing for bass players ^^

I wonder what she is gonna cost when she hits YHJ!

Early B-Day Pressie from Hubby ^^

February 3rd, 2010

I got an early B-pressie from hubby today: Spanking brand new Canon EOS500D with a basic lense.

Opened box and manual was in French O.o
Well, I do understand and read a bit of French but ehm, not so much that I will be able to decipher a manual.
However, I am not a big fan of manuals anyway.
The way I see it: If a product requires a manual it is not very user friendly anyway. Functions should be intuitive and logical and work in a common sense kind of way.

So, started playing around with varied results which I decided to share for all to see lol!

Enjoy!

Enchanted Doll in Resin!!!

February 3rd, 2010

Going through my Twitter this morning on the bus to work an interesting tweet from Enchanted Doll popped up.

So straight on to her blogpost and look and behold, she is going to be doing Enchanted Dolls in resin!

Might actually mean that I can get one within my budget without having to shell out $40k for one on Ebay!

Joined the waiting list – I hope – maybe I should send another mail…

Gorgeous – just gorgeous

London January 2010 Meet

January 31st, 2010

First meet of 2010 was full of new people and lots of new dollies.

The badness was somewhat limited but there was a lot of posing dolls on their heads…

And I forgot my phone at home so no tweeting O.o which was a bit frustrating but survived.

Luna is Home!

January 27th, 2010

No charges!!! WOOOOOT!

After all these years I FINALLY get one for free!

Me luv Fedex ^^

Although, I think someone at the customs department have had her out of the box and been showing her around. I wonder if there are some obscene photos on some Facebook group for customs workers…

Oh well, at least nothing seems to be broken and all the bits and bobs seems to be there all intact.

And they left her with a neighbour who obviously is not a dollnut as she did not comment on the huge Iplehouse box stating DOLL in big letters lol.

Shame, could have been fun if she was.

Here she is! The big grey girl. So glad I got my hands on her.

And seller has somewhat restored my faith in people on the MP again as she was just lovely to deal with and no funny business there.

Incoming by Fedex

January 26th, 2010

Jan 26, 2010 5:10 PM
Int’l shipment release

I wonder if this means that my parcel did not get charged customs? I doubt it…

Also, I wonder how I am going to get my hands on this parcel as I cannot seem to figure out where Fedex keeps their depots here in London???

And since I will be at work when they eventually decide to deliver then ehm, I will have to go pick up – unless of course I can reroute to work… But then I will have to explain what is inside O.o

Bleh!

Tiny Meet in Wimbledon

January 23rd, 2010

Home after a very cosy Tiny meet at Teddy’s place.

I had a vague notion that there were trams in London however, I have never seen one before today or tried one here – Now I have I wonder why they are not all over the place? Guess space is an issue…

Wimbledon is very pretty – Never been there before so a bit of an adventure within London for me.

Teddy found me some very very VERY nice black long boots for my chibis!!! He did not use them so I bought them of him ^^ They are luvly – on my twitter.

And I got a wig for my sugar as well, something is better than nothing until I sort her out a permanent one… Whenever that might be ><

Oh, and had an offer of a free faceup and blushing for the Chibis! I think I might take it as I am rubbish at getting around to it.

On the wrong computer so will post some piccies later – did not take that many as so busy just looking and speaking to new people.

Right – Finally downloaded the pics and uploaded to Picasa albums ><
Not that many + I discovered that I actually didn't really take any of my Chibis??? Only one here and one on Twitter. Shame on me!

Blank and Nekkid ><

January 22nd, 2010

Of to a meet tomorrow and I am so not ready for it ><

Not had time to make any clothes and the weather as well as time has been totally against me in regards to doing my Unoa Chibi’s faceups…

Well, I did get caught up in Crisis Core for the PSP as well so that did not help at all either…

Guess my dolls will just have to do the fairytale approach: Not dressed but not naked either – now where is that fishing net…
