Another dress what I made.

Amy Butler fabric. Changed the pattern a little to make it longer.

Blythe Blythe Beautiful Blythe.....

Our ButtonArcade dress came today - it was a commission, so I got exactly what I wanted :D We love it! Deer, owls and apples - what's not to love!? And Hana adores the ickle rubber chicken from Kyle :)
I made this beret with a pattern from Mel linked me to - but knitting isn't really my forte and even though it took me all day yesterday (which is why the lighting is so bad, as I didn't finish it til about 8pm), it came out more like something Bob Marley would have worn....
On Saturday we (that's me, Kiki, Hana and Satori) went to a meet in Birmingham - we saw lots of lovely ladies, and a lot of gorgeous dolls. I was bowled over by Fliss's PAM - Kiki was jealous :D There were a couple of other Punkys there - and everyone was right - Kiki does have exceptional hair. I somehow got very lucky there.
My DB and Angela's custom re-root DB - can't believe how different they look. I'm thinking of at some point in the future getting a 2nd DB to do a full custom on.
OK not a Blythe - an Ixtee Mui-Chan belonging to Jo. She is adorable!
CanCan Cat and PAM - Ruth and my dream dollies..... I need to win the lottery!

I made an empire-line dress. And it went ok :)

Made by me :D

Still under house arrest (i.e. ill), and had Alex home today too, so tried my hand at sewing for the girls again. My first attempt at a dress didn't exactly work out, and I had to unpick and restitch it twice!
But then I had a go at making a ribbon tied top - and it turned out pretty well! I made a little felt and button heart embellishment for the front too. Love how it matches Hana's glasses.

I think the trick is to keep practising. I'll get there eventually.

My dolly family <3

L-R: Hana, Mei, Sakura, Satori, Satsuki and Kiki. I love them all so much :) At the moment I'm feeling pretty content - I'd like a Drta Dal, and maybe a Melize or Lizbel, but for the time being, there's no overwhelming need.
Hana and Mei the Blondies.
Sakura and Satori the fantasy-haired girls.
Satsuki and Kiki the dark-haired lovelies.
And more Kiki spam :D She really is stunning - one of those girls who you just find yourself staring at. The more I look at her the more I love her. And doesn't she look amazing in the dress from the wonderful Abby :)

Best (suprise) mail day

Got back from my first day at college (although I don't have to go back now for a month :D ), to the most wonderful surprise package from my bestest Blythe friend, Abby. I met Abby on TIB right back when I'd just got my first Blythe, and we've been in contact almost everyday since. She knows how much my girls love rock-chick style, so she sent me these two amazing tops/dresses for my girls, as she no longer has a rock girl in her Blythe family.
She also sent us a cute little Kewpie, and stickers for the kids.
Thank you Abby! The girls and I send you lots of love and hugs xxx

(Another) new addition!

My Punkaholic People Blythe, Kiki :D I entered the lottery on Junie Moon, and pre-ordered through HLJ, and both fell through, but the wonderful Rebecca stepped in and sold me her spare one! (Thank you!!!)
She arrived on Tuesday, and there aren't many things which could drag me away from the new Dan Brown book (which I also got on Tuesday), but she certainly is one of them! I love her so much.
She and Satsuki are obviously sisters. Not identical, but there's enough of a resemblance.
Yesterday I spent the day customising her - nothing major, just boggled, gaze-corrected, 3 pairs of eye chips changed, and while her scalp was off I boil straightened her hair.
Her chips are now more similar to BWT (Satsuki)'s - I kept the stock green ones as they suit her, and changed the others to purple, turquoise and light grey.
Her fringe still needs a bit of attention (I'm rubbish at hair cutting!), but she's pretty much perfect :)
