Hortensia and Mariette at Japanese Style Garden

I had thought about going to Roihuvuori Sakura tree garden for long time but I just couldn't get myself going, even tough I knew the flowers wouldn't bloom forever. They were totally gone today, which I expected but the Hanami event was going on there. I took Fairyland Minifee girls Hortensia (Juri 13) and Mariette (Dark Elf Soo) with me after I had an encounter with the sewing machine first in the morning. I tried to make a tiny size yukata/kimono type of thing which didn't fit any of my dolls, not even Pippuri who has stick arms. I gave up and observed some older SD size garments that needed to be recycled to smaller size things. I sewed until I was satisfied and even if I felt like I should go, I went anyway and this wasn't the best experience for me to be honest. (Next some whining, you can skip if you want).

I had been a bit anxious about if I should go or not all morning, do my dolls look cute enough that I can take them (wtf of course they do), they have nothing new to wear (OMG how stupid this feels) etc etc. I should never go to events like that alone, and if feeling anxious and nervous definitely retreat to safety of my own home and perhaps continue sewing or lie down on the sofa. I walked trough the place trying to find a place where to eat my salad I had bought and admired few smaller trees that were on bloom still. I found the Tearoom tent and talked briefly with my friend who was there serving tea, it was super to meet her, we hadn't seen each other for years. After that I went to the Japanese style garden. I dug out my dolls and began to nervously photograph them, and if I could've kicked myself I would have done that. It seems that older I get, more anxious I'll get in big events and less I want to be in crowds like that. Note to self (actually wrote a note and taped it on my screen side): 1) Don't attend to things like this, you're not going to like the crowds. 2) If you do, have friends with you, it's easier to be stared at with a friend if you share the staring. (People propably weren't staring, it's just that I think they are =_=). 3) Choose some other day to photograph dolls outside. With NO events. 4) Use some sort of bug spray to keep the stingy things away.

Anyway, even tough my feelings of the photographing wasn't so good, I think the photos came out rather nice. And the girls are super cute!


Hortensia's dress was a SD sized skirt which I added the boob covers basicly, just sewed them together first and then attatched them and cut the waistband shorter. I kinda like how it turned out! The necklace is made by Junipa. ^-^

Dollmeet at Oodi Library

Yesterday we had a dollmeet on the central library Oodi, it is great place with different sized spaces for free use. YOu'll just have to reserve the space in their system (max 3 hours per person). And then just go there! It was quite nice space, apart from one of it's wall was aquarium type and people could see what we do there. Most people just look a little and then continue but there was a woman who was actually photographing our doll table trough the window even if one of us was staring at her like wtf are you doing woman?! Tsuki said they have meeting rooms without any big windows like that and next time we'll try to get one of those. Anyway, this meet space was booked before Valentine's day, I thought it would be good to be Valentine's meet but usually the dollmeets are on weekends becouse most of the people have weekends off. It was quite a surprise how far the meeting rooms were booked. So if we want to have for example a Little Christmas dollmeet we should be thinking about booking the space early. I'll think about that, depends most likely how many people wants to attend... Anyway! On with the show! There were 12 of us and many BJD, Azone dolls and Vinyl dolls, and even some exotic creatures. All are welcome to our dollmeets. :) It is interesting to see what sort of dolls, figures and creatures people collect.
