New Girls Arriving Soon!

I'm so excited because I have some new BJDs arriving within the next couple days to a few weeks (overseas shipping), I'll have my PukiFee Luna, Pukipuki Cupid and Lati Yellow Xmas Elf ver Coco finally home!? All their layaways are all paid in full. Now my Tallulah will have some new sisters to hang out with. I haven't chosen any names for them yet because I want to see what their personalities are first. I still have my Lati White Sp Kong and RS Rong to pay for but it feels good to only have 2 outstanding layaways than MANY!

On a sadder note, no Middie Blythe for me. It appears my Middie Melo Melo Mew was shipped to another buyer by the seller and while the seller has stated they would send me a new one. Plus I've been hearing a lot of horror stories regarding quality control surrounding this Middie that I've just asked for a refund. I've since lost my interest in her and will wait for the pink haired Middie in October.
I'll just enjoy all my current girls PLUS the ones arriving soon. I need to get sewing on there "Welcome Home" outfits! :-)

Gifts from Hubby

So I've been really sick the last couple of days to the point where it was a lot of work to go to the bathroom and haven't made it to work. I'm slowly on the mend and hope to be able to return to work on Tuesday. Well this morning Hubby took 3 of the 5 children out to practice bowling and look at the "Get Well" goodies they bought back.

Yes, that is THE MH Venus McFlytrap

But wait there's more...

Yes, MH Robecca Steam TOO!

I should get sick more often. No just kidding! I don't like being sick. But I'm really happy that I got these girls!

Middie Blythe Francoise Ananassa (October 2012)

I know I said no more buying dolls for this year BUT it's a pink haired Middie! She would be a perfect companion for my mint haired Middie Melo Melo Mew (arriving soon)! It was announced on http://www.blythedoll.com/news/new-middie-blythe-francoise-ananassa-illustration/

It's strawberry picking day!
Invite all your friends and we can have a strawberry picking party!
Let's make a milk shake using our fresh strawberries.
We could make strawberry shampoo or sweet strawberry perfume.
You can become a sweet strawberry girl like me!
Francoise Ananassa doesn't smell of strawberries, but she's just as sweet! Her dress and bonnet have a lovely strawberry pattern fabric.
Her skirt is tiered with strawberry and polka dot patterns.
Her beautiful bonnet frames her sweet little face. She has a new type of Middie sized "lace-up" boots.
Her hair color is pink. She has long, loose curls with straight bangs.
Her eye color is a lovely cobalt blue. She wears brown eyeshadow with a pink blush and lip.
Her skin tone is Fair.

Noelle (NS RS Rong) isn't even here yet and I've already made her a shirt (WIP... need to adjust the sleeve length) and this cute little hat.

18/52 - Anais New Hat

My poor Anais needed a little bit of love. Thanks to a couple of ladies on Twitter talking crochet yesterday and me needing something to do at work for lunch. Anais was able to get herself a new hat and be the ADAW & 52 Weeks of Blythe photo. :-)

Now the other girls want hats as well. :-) They'll be getting the same colorway because I have A LOT of this color yarn. These little hats went together really quick and I was able to finish one in my 45 minute lunch break. I think I will keep a little stash of yarn and my crochet hook in my purse. Looking at getting some more yarn later on this week. 

100th Post... MSD Top!

Wow my 100th post! With my very first MSD BJD RS Rong arriving soon, I decided to make her something to wear so she won't be nude.

 

Ummm... yea, as you can see I need to shorten the arm lengths BUT the fit is nice on her and I didn't even have to take off Misty's (BBB Ariel) head to put it on either! I will be adjusting the pattern and making more for my girl. I'll let my daughter keep this one since I used her doll as my model. LOL

Zoë wanted a sprout shot of her but she chose a different tree. She look like she's laying down!
