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.

Doll events

So, LDoll has been postponed to next year, 2016 and that feels like forever waiting for it. I'm definitely wanting to participate in LDoll 6 with my stuff and I've planned to sew much things there. BUT, there's going to be a doll event closer to Finland on September. There's going to be a doll event at Gothenburg, Sweden. Jointed Hearts event will be at Gothenburg September 5th and 6th. The thing is, lack of LDoll this year would be fantastic chance to participate in the event in Sweden, being so close (gosh, straight flights from Helsinki!!!) would make it even easier to participate. I don't speak swedish, I understand a little when I read but I'm sure I could get along with english. I haven't yet translated all things to myself yet, lazying around about it. Iplehouse, Little Monica and seems like Luts has joined in also to this event. Need to think about it, if I'd really want to go and buy something I would've needed to save quite a bit. From last LDoll I know for sure that I'd need around 1000€ for shopping only. XD I'm sure I couldn't get enough stuff sewn to participate as a seller, but I don't know if they even want to have people from other countries to sell stuff. I also have my summer holiday planned to that time, and I should go and visit my parents for few weeks at that time. And I don't have money for shopping either. A lots of thinking to do!

Other things: Took few doll photos today from my Tinyfairy girls (some of them) and last weekend I photographed my Minifee girls. ^^









I'm going to spend next weekend sewing doll clothes, I've gotten so much stuff to and people to meet these days I haven't really had time for ME. And that's going to be corrected next weekend.
