Fairyland and Bluefairy News

I'm trying so hard not to fall for Fairyland's newest addition, or more to the thing that they are going to sell Feeple60 Moe dolls in this event with the Tears of Raven. I'm trying so hard to save my finances until the tax returns come, they're there gleaming in the distance and I want them to come so I can use them to some fancy doll stuffs. I'm still trying to aim on getting the bodies only but I know I have to give in and get few heads, maybe from the Feeple line since I'm not keeping my breath waiting for them to announce they'd sell the bodies and heads separately. :P It is so hard to part from the heads. I would need two Feeple's and three Minifees so that's quite a lot of resin. I'm planning maybe to buy two at once, or if I'm getting the Minifee only, then three of them. I know that's a loads of money so I still have to think about that.

Anyway, I'm definitely needing some dollytime for meeee. These evenings get so darkish so quickly, I need to wait until next week when I'm on evening shift so I can photograph a little before leaving for work. I've sewed some pants for boys, need to finish one ocre yellow pair and then two of my boys would have new pair of pants. They need the top garments to go, but I still have to think about that. It's sometimes great to work at place where there are many people and stalk some guys of what they wear. I said this before, but layering with mens clothes seem also be trendy. I want my boys wear other colours than just black and blue. And those wonderful Canvas shoes! I would be sure they will fit my TF boys and girls. I'm wanting several of each colour! Leo, Lukas and maybe Mimosa and Maya would need those. And maybe few more in different colour, just in case. Hehee.

Bluefairy has also made this months Pre-order outfits and they are so cute, I especially love the 60's outfit. It is so pretty in both colours. The Hyacinth outfit is also nice, but I have to admit that I'm afraid it wouldn't be a style I want for any of my girls. Or boys.

I got some fantastic wigs from SweetNeat Crafts, SD size blonde wig and Minifee size black. I was going to put the black wig on Lulu (Soo), but she really needs the bangs. Until I'm foolish enough to redo her face up she's going to need them, I'm not sure if I want her to have any longer hair since I really like this one but I'm sure one needs a black wig in this size to spare. And so much other wigs in any colour. They are like shoes, more the better. :D

Isn't she cute! I think she's as kitty as the kitties in her blouse. ^^ It is made by Atelier Momoni. Perfect combination with the socks, shoes and denim skirt. For me. :D

I don't have a photo of Moira (Celine) in the blonde wig to share, but I have a photo of her in Instagram but I already ordered another one for her from either strawberry blonde or carroty, gingerity mohair. Sanna makes the prettiest Mohair wigs and I'm super happy to have so many pretty ones. ^^ The plan is that Chloe Elf will have this blonde, Moira will have the strawberry blonde and Soony Elf will have a straight brown one with bangs. So much plans and so little time to do things. At the moment anyway. My workplace is having some issues at the moment with the worktimes. These days any factory wants to run successfully for 24/7 and that's something I might need to adjust. I'm still working for Monday to Friday and then have Saturday and Sunday off but that might change after the new year. We'll see. *sigh* Yes, I'm a bit stressed about it, how are everybody else doing? I've spied some wonderful doll news and such. ^^ Always nice to see lovely photos and read from others doll stuff.

Hanami at Roihuvuori 2014

I was at Roihuvuori's Hanami again this year. (In case you're wondering Roihuvuori's Japanese style garden is one of my favourite places to photograph dolls, and the Hanami is also held nearby there). It's been one of the most interesting and fun events. Chatting with friends and photographing dolls. This time I had Fleur with me. I sewed her a new dress, I had been saving this lovely tulle lace for something special and.. this became the special! ^^ I love the dress even if it is difficult to stay over her boobs. Tends to slip down, the darn thing. But, it is pretty! ^^ And oh she's sooo cute! I'm so happy I have her with me. ;w;



















Her wig was bought from JPopdolls, eyes from Enchanted Doll Eyes and shoesies from Summomo's stand last year at LDoll. Oooh I love them shoes! ^^ Going to need to buy some more for my Minifee's. I have my order shipped out recently, and I'm waiting for it to arrive so I can pay the custom fees. Also, I'd love to try to make shoes myself but have no idea where to begin.

Dresses - WIP

Well, these are still a bit work in progress. Need to sew the snaps and adjust the front of every dress. ^^ But I think they already look really cute! Sorry for the light stuff. :P I don't know how to master the adjustments and it already went dark when I began to take the photos. xP Sorry. These are basicly made for LDoll like everything else I'm currently sewing. My great plan is to sew something for sale and something for my own dolls, so girls will propably keep one of each colour combination. ^^


I used two different laces at the bottom. I would've propably gone with cotton or linen lace, but I didn't have any. These venetian (?) laces were pretty tough. ^^ I still have some left from both.

These are a bit baggy from the front. Xiu seems to have things going on while Lu is just staring.

Pretty. ^^

And the Shiny gang. ^^ Nikolas wonders what's the party occasion. :D

Minty Dress

Chloe got a new wig a while back, still going carroty red but this time a little bit darker one. I traded her default wig with a friend. ^^ I do think this coloured wig compliments her face up colours very much. The wig looks a bit darker than it is, but I'm not very good at modding pictures to look good so when there's no natural light... *sigh* She looks great tough! The mint fabric is from the samples again, but the white and lace is from my own storage. ^^ I do love the patterns in these, tough the back minty-floppy thing is heavier so the front of this is kinda.. going front too much. D:


I think this pattern is definitely one of the best I've done, this is first variation from it. I do think the pattern still needs a bit more work, but definitely more poofy from the hem looks nicer.


Today was a good posing day for her obviously. She has been quite floppy but today somehow she wanted to show what she got. The lightning in our flat is horrible but at least I got few pics.


Even stand with one foot! This is amazing I think. :D

Dresses and Capri from samples

You know, desingning school's these really cool sample pieces from all great fabric manufacturers and designers and such. Few years back one of my friend and her school invited me to take some of them which they didn't have any use to. And I did have a backback and few bags filled with these babies! It did take me quite long time to get inspired but once I started to play with the fabrics, I felt the inspiration to just flow in! Desingner students propably don't do anything with ~30cm x 35-ish cm sized pieces, but us doll-hobbyists sure do! I made few nice patterns, one for dress and one for pants for my Tinyfairies and here are something I did!


This fabric was lovely warm greyish beige with wrinkles. I thought it would be nice to have somekind of separate panel on the bodice with other colour and it did come out really cute. ^^


The dress if fully lined, I just wish I would've had thin enough cotton, it would've suited this so nicely. The belt is removable, dress looks nice without it too. ^^








This dress is made from reeeaally thin print fabric. I do think that sometimes it is great not to have huge pieces of fabrics, so that if you only make one dress, there's not too much leftovers. :D And with some you are a bit sad there weren't more! Haha. ^^











This stretchy striped fabric is absolutely fabulous! I first made long pants, but for my bad, I cut the pant legs too short. So, by the suggestion of a friend, I made a Capri pants instead! And! Looks great doesn't it. ^^ Little bit of ironing wouldn't hurt tough. These have backpockets and working beltloops. The fit of the pants could've be better under her bottom, otherwise I'm quite satisfied.

I have, I hope the school and Outi don't mind, put the pieces that are not my style in my "resyclables" box and shared them with doll friends. ^^ We have different sizes of dolls too, and I'm sure most of the pieces will be made in something. I know I'm in a good sewing mood with these. :D
