Planning Doll Future and Sewing

I decided not to participate in the Jointed Hearts event in Sweden, I wish I would've known from it earlier so I could gather some finances. I guess I'm going to save my shopping for LDoll 6, but I so much miss the atmosphere of the events, meeting new and old friends and just the general feeling of belonging into a group of people who clearly are interested in dolls and want to talk about them. :D

I'm really waiting for better weather at the moment. We had few sunny days but otherwise it seems like raining all the time. Last summer was so very different, very hot and sunny. I do hope we'll get some sunshine later on. I'll be having my holiday later in the end of August and beginning of September and I truly hope to have some time just for me. That might sound very selfish but I find that I've hardly had time to do my own things, like sew or concentrate on dolls. All public holidays have gone to visiting relatives, I really loved to visit my sister, that was great, but after that few public holidays went into visiting relatives even tough I said to my SO that I'd be really happy to spend them at home with him. :P I guess sometimes you just have to visit relatives and spend the quiet days with them. Feeling like I really want to see people, friends, but I'd truly need some time for me. And dolls!

Fairyland has had their event going of for a while already, they brought out their new girl, Liria to honor one of their longest time partner. Wow, I find the doll and the fullset really pretty! Great way to remember long time friendship. They have said that there might be more dolls in Project Liria, but never in Minifee size, I do wonder how would a Feeple60 doll look like... I'm still in need to buy three Minifee bodies and two Feeples, too bad I didn't have finances right now since the Feeple60 were available and I really like them a lot. :D I would only need bodies but they're not available so I'd get heads that I really don't need. There's also a Moe Feeple60 Celine for sale in our Finnish forum and I'm so wanting to have her, I'd only need the body but I wouldn't mind having a Celine head around. Ahahaha. Ahem. I would need a layaway and and and... Thinking about it. I kinda wish someone would reserve the doll so I wouldn't have to think about it. LOL.

I'm glad Bluefairy has their Order Made system going on. I find it great that I can still have Classic bodies for dolls I want. The list from Bluefairy has, of course, Emilie and Jasmine sisters, I think I want to have them with Blossom bodies (Classic), Niky Classic Dandy and Patrick in Baked skin Classic Boy body. Yay, good plan isn't it. Just it's going to have to wait until I'll get the planned bodies for rolling heads. This is something I need to continuously say to myself so I won't get side tracked.

I wasn't at home last weekend, I didn't get any progress in my dress project. Here's Tiffany in this new dress.. I think I'm wanting to sew more beads in it and I definitely need nylon thread for sewing in the beads. I watched some Youtube videos about beading. :D This week I'm working in evening shift so I haven't had the energy to sew more beads to the bodice. I have planned another dress in my head instead. Hopefully I'll find the lace I want to sew it.


The lace is really old, and it kinda shows in the condition of it too. It has some broken threads in the net parts but this is not a sales dress, so that's not a problem.



I have so many ideas about what to sew and so much fabrics in stock. But no time! I'm hoping to spend half of my holiday with my parents and half at home sewing for dolls and just relax. I also want to arrange my doll stuffs, I'm having a huge craving to have a some sort of showcase for the doll shoes but that'd need space AND also I'd need to get rid of some old fabrics. I asked my mother if my auntie would find something to do with fabrics I have. I'v bought some really long ago, I know I shouldn't keep stuff like that but they also look like they're from tent years ago. LOL. I trust my Auntie will find a way to use the fabrics I have. Or maybe I'll do something myself. Don't know yet. So much fabrics to sew from, so little time. :D

Last time I was in Turku city, in a doll meet there, it was great but I also bought me some more fabrics. xD


I especially love the white with the ink blue dandelion seed floater thingies in it. That's pretty! I love it! I'll need to think which fabrics to use it with but gosh it is nice.

  1. I am not sure yet, if I will get chance to go to the swedish doll event, but I hope I could. Still though very soon is the Dolls & Party in Barcelona, which I´m attending and preparing things for sale there. And already reserved one doll to bring home with me from there! :D

    I miss LDoll too, but maybe it´s nice change to have chance to travel somewhere else for a while - I can´t afford too many travels for a year. So next year then! :D

    Your newest dress is so lovely. I always have difficulties to use the old fabrics, if I´ve been saving them. It´s good you were able to turn it to this beautiful dress!

    1. Ah I saw your Flickr entry about attending to Dolls & Party! I hope you'll have a huge success in there. Haha I was thinking if you have any particular doll in mind bringing back home from there. Do you want to tell or is it a secret? :)

      I wish I could attend more events, but it's just not possible. Next year I'll need to think about either Barcelona or Sweden if the swedish event is a success and they'll bring the second edition. It would be great to have at least half a year apart between two events so I say next year D&P and LDoll would be realistic for me. :)

      Thank you for the compliment on the dress. ^^ I'm happy how it turned out and hopefully will be able to finish it this weekend. :D

  2. I don't think that wanting to take time for your self could be selfish! You have all the right! :D Go ahead and enjoy your holidays and dolls all together!

    Also, Tiffany is looking great on that dress, the lace is gorgeous!

    Those fabrics looks great too, can't wait to see what you do with them!

    1. I find it difficult to keep my head focused just for ME, but you're right, I should have the right to spend time how I want to. :)

      Thank you so much for the compliments on the dress, I love how pretty it looks on Tiffany. ^^ I have already some plans for the new fabrics, oh how much I wish I'd have at least a day for myself. Soon, I promise to myself (if my boss gives me a day off, that is. )
