Lyon - LDoll 6 PART 2

I only managed to make one LDoll post yesterday, but the photos are in my Flickr so you've maybe seen them already. :D Anyway, continuing the posts!


Veraker's booth.

Lyon - LDoll 6 PART 1

We had so much fun with SweetNeat in Paris, on Friday it was time to leave and travel to Lyon by train. The train went straight to Lyon with only few stops, the final stop was Perrache I think.
We went to a little cruise around the Lyon city after dumped our stuff to our hotel, and before we could go to Double Mixte to arrange our booths. We went straight to the fabric store from which I don't remember what's it's name. LOL of course. Anyway we bumped into Jesmo and Unisieppari and decided to find some food. Sadly we didn't becouse I guess other parts of Europe don't eat dinner as early as we do and we would've wanted to have pizza, noodles, basicly what ever would've been OK before 6 PM! So sad, we settled into a sad waffle place which wasn't really good. At least we got something to eat. We were SUPER hungry after assembling our booths and gladly I found nice place to eat with SweetNeat. It was a chinese restaurant near Charpennes metro station. Food = super good!


My booth before opening the venue for the visitors. I must warn you, I will post a lot of photos and I don't always remember/know who was in the booth. I might add that information later on. I also want to thank everyone who came to my booth and had a chat and bought something. Even more happy I was to hear some of you follow me in Instagram or Flickr, I didn't expect that somehow. ^^;


SweetNeat is so happy at her booth! :D

The LDoll 5 report thing - and few things

Well, I had truly amazing weekend at LDoll 5 at the middle(ish) of October, it was so nice to walk around and see everything. I'm a bit shy to talk to people, I think, but I had great conversations with many people! First of all, few photos and a link to my Flickr album and then few words about stuff!


Jesmoth - Cocoondolls booth. I was helping out my friends and that was a good decicion this year. ^^ Oh look at all the lovely little dollies she's created, and those shoesies!!


And Uninu's booth, I'm glad I could help my friends. It was so exiting to mark things sold. LOL.


SweetNeat's and Magistrums booth. Too bad Rorchack - Magistrum wasn't able to come to LDoll, but fabulous that SweetNeat was able to take the sculls and advertising material from him. :) I was also helping out SweetNeat at her booth. :D YAY! A little salesgirl inside was super happy about selling on behalf of my friends, it was so exiting to see something sold. ^^ Hehe. I know, I'm certainly sounding silly but it was great fun!


Raouken's corsetry, FANTASTIC!!! I loved them, bought two, the pink one with black lining and lace stuff for Irma. Irma was quite much spoiled this time around. xD


These little ones are so cute! The Poupiette and little mouses were adorable!


Dust of Dolls - these Kröt-thingies - I could've scooped all of them in my pocket and just giggle with them! They're super adorable and I really liked how they styled them all. Just looking at this little one smile makes me happy!

Just few examples, I was so happy to meet a loads of people and buy huge amount of stuff! xD I must brag a little, I bought over 800€ worth of eyes, clothes, shoes, more eyes, wigs and jewellery and such but NO dolls. Also I had saved money for WHOLE year before LDoll, so it wasn't like I put all my pay for doll stuff. I always keep in mind to pay the bills first and then save some. I actually saved with pulling cash from my account and putting the cash in a jar. xD I had made a little list of thing I would love to get and I did get most of the things I wanted.

Many of my dolls got some new eyes, and the rolling heads especially got some new eyes and few wigs. The jewellery: Adorable and sexy! Irma got the sexiest one, I had to switch the pearl from the back of her necklace to the front and remove the bow, becouse the bow just was disturbing with her huge bust. LOL.

Here's the short report from LDoll, great event five years in a row. I will definitely take a booth next year, I already began sewing for the event. The difficult part was after the event, when we heard that Lufthansa had most of their pilots in strike. MAN that was annoying. I owe a huge huge thanks to my sister who sent me a text message on Monday morning after LDoll and told me about the strike. I called to my travelling insurance company which didn't of course pay any compensations in case of a strike. SO. We needed to go to the airport and sort everything out. That quite ruined the morning and some of the Monday too. I was relieved we got new tickets with Uninu for Tuesday evening, went back to Lyon city to our hotel and find Jesmo and had some time to walk around the city and visit the fabric stores. Next morning we went to eat to a japanese restaurant near Charpennes station, I think it was called Okawali. Fantastic fried chicken with quite a lot of ginger (lol, next time I'll get it with salad instead of just rice, or with both). I don't wonder why it is so popular, food is great!

On our journey trough the city to railwaystation I got a call from Amsterdam's airport customerservice and I didn't hear it early enough to answer the call. I knew it was trouble, so as we were going to St. Exupery Airport we went straight to Lufthansa info desk. They said we should go to KLM and Air France customer service counter, becouse Lufthansa had changed our flights to theirs and, well, we'd be their problem. Lined for a while to hear that our flights via Amsterdam had been cancelled and changed to Wednesday morning. I said to the lady at the counter that it would be fabulous if we could have ANY flights that day and she found us flights to Helsinki via Brussels. And the flight was going within an hour. We didn't even think it would be so fast. We made successfully check-in for the flight from Lyon to Brussels but second flight failed, like the lady had mentioned at the counter. I was mostly a bit pissed, hugely stressed and nervous we wouldn't make it. And we only had less than 60 minutes for the change of flights. The amount of panic was indescribable and we ran like two snails to the gate which was somewhere in deep at Airport St. Exupery's ass. Only to be noticed that they were still refueling the plane. The flight was running late and in the end we had less than 30 minutes to run upstairs (no, they didn't have that alley from plane, or buss from the plane to the airport, we had to climb staircase) at Brussels airport and grab first airport personnel and ask them what we should do.

We didn't know that the check-in can be done at gate, but they said we could do that. Brussels Airport is bigger than huge, it's the hugest biggest freakin airport where I've ever been. I can't describe our relief when we noticed that the the gate to our flight was only two gates away from the one we were at the moment and we spurted at the counter line. Finally the lady at the counter said that yes, we can make the check-in right now, don't stress, it's not good for your heart. We had plus-tickets which was good, since we could go to the plane before others. AND we had 15 minutes for the restrooms and buying some Pepsi! I was so relieved to get back home. Uninu's bigger luggage was stayed behind to Brussels but gladly she didn't have any valuables in it and finally got it back after few days we got back home.

The customer service at Lufthansa desk was OK, but there was clearly not enough personnel at work, they didn't info about the strike early enough (we would've gotten the information about the strike late on Monday evening, as my friends got their info at Sunday when their flights would've been on Monday). All people at the Airports were really nice and I'm sure they had huge task to arrange flights for 1300 or so flights. Thanks to them we got home early but I really could've lived without all stress it caused. Next year I might boycott Lufthansa and buy my flights elsewere just in case. :P

Morning frustrations...

What I should be doing is sewing! But since I'm going to evening shift, I wont. I know, I know. It sounds really stupid but working evening shifts makes me so anxious since if you begin sewing, you're certainly going to look et the watch all the time and thinking what you have time to do and what you don't. Also, needing to prepare lunch and something to eat for work also takes the time.. Not to mention the buss for work.. Moaaaannnnn I suffer from these evening shifts...

Anyway, LDoll Festival has revealed the exhibitors list for non proffessional exhibitors! ^^ Wonderful to see my nick there! Oooo so exiting! I also gave them a link to my Flickr but was a bit disappointed that they didn't link my page there, so I made a new Set - Preview for LDoll 2013 and linked that to them again. Hopefully they'll add it up to the page! There seemed to be other exhibitors Flickrs added there, so I'm hoping mine will too. I'm going to switch the name of my "brand" after LDoll, so stay tuned, I will add the left overs for Etsy and hopefully something will sell there too. ^^

Here are few things I've sewed, I'm really trying to hurry up and photograph most of the things for LDoll so I have some photos to display also. People like to know how clothes will look on a doll and I think that having photos already will help in it.

SD size Post Boy hats, don't have as big variety of fabrics as the MSD ones, I don't know if I'll have time to sew more of them. These in the photo have been finished, they have the fabric covered button sewed on top.

MSD size Post Boy hats, these have even more colours since I sew some more from the same fabrics as the SD ones were. Like black leather, tough I think it is a bit odd size since I didn't remember to measure the headband when sewing. Oops.

Some shirts sewed from wrinkly cotton. I kinda like how this turned out. The fabric is falling apart easily when sewing but looks really nice!

Anyway, just a little taste about what's coming... I'll be photographing and adding more photos. I do wonder how on earth I'm going to finish everything I have in midn. XP

LDoll 2012 - More Information

Do I need to say more! This is fantastic! xD

Actually few months ago, I had a dream about LDOll and that BF really was there and I couldn't just speak a word of English! I tried to tell them which dolls I have and how much I am their biggest fan! xD It didn't work out at all! MAN! Something I've been hoping since the first LDoll event was at Lyon. European event, fantastic! ^__^

LDoll 2012 - Bubbly One Shoulder Top

And our model today is *tadaaah* Jesmoth's lovely grumpy Minifee Marcia! ^^ I'm sure I'll get my own Minifee someday, just so difficult to choose!

I'll sew these in different fabrics, this model is quite loose and bubbly. I might do variations of it too. ^^ yay.

I really want a new body for Irma, she might fill my Minifee need since I don't really know about the heads. Irma's head is Kid Delf, and it would match OK with the FL normal skin. I guess. Ah how pretty! ^^

LDoll 3 - Sewing, a lots of it too

LDoll is international BJD convention held 6-7 of October 2012 at Double Mixte center, Lyon - France. There will hopefully be even more BJD hobbyists this year than last. ^^ I'm going there to sell my items and I'm already having great plans about them. My friends are also coming so please come and check out our stuff! :D



A little teaser about what I'm sewing this year. Yeah, it is jeans and denim stuff again. I began sewing this weekend. I'll sew some blouses and dresses and skirts and stuff. And I'm going to make another trip to Tallinn with friends next month to get more supplies.

Yay, finally getting my sewing inspiration back. ^^ I'm very happy about that.

LDoll - 3

Will be held next year at Double Mixte center, Lyon, France. 6-7 of October 2012. ^^

Well, I guess I'll begin preparing items after new year. This time I guess I need to make some better trousers and jeans for the girls too. And maybe something ruffly! ^^ We'll see how I'll do!

Also, my sister came for a visit, she brought her Tanning Lishe, Ebony to have some love and care. ^^ She needs new strings so as I'll order some for my own dolls, I'll restring her too. There's no elasticity left with her strings. :D


I dressed her into some corduroy pants and lovely t-shirt which were leftovers from last LDoll's sales. It's good to have some stock where to pull clothes from. ;3 Also I think she looks great in them. Next year I'll have a little photobook of the clothes on dollies too! Great plan isn't it!


She's so pretty! ^^

LDoll - Part 2

Second and last part. I've been having a awful flu so updating has been a bit iffy. :P Sorry about that. And about the craptastic quality of the pictures. I did have fun, indeed. I'm waiting to give Cordelia (Jasmine) to Jesmoth for face up. Aaaa she's going to make her look soo fabulous. =w= Also, I changed Tilda's wig for something more natural. ^^ She looks great in it, I also dressed her in some autumny clothes. I guess I'll do some sewing when I have time, all my boys and girls need something autumny. Especially boys. They need shirts. And maybe some vest or something for Miio. Need to do some planning and thinking.











Little Mermaid, one of the favourite stories of all time.


Sharkyra's Lady of the Shalot. ^^ Very pretty!








Hats and masks. Exiting and exotic ~~


Teehee, there's my friend Immarre on the right corner admiring and El custom which was for sale in this table. ^^


Pretty dolls from Leeke stand.


MAN how much I drooled to all shoes! Too bad most of my dolls like to wear quite basic shoes. ^^;


I spotted Jerome girl from the Think Pink table! ^^ She's so cute even without face up. Both BF dolls were sold without face up. So my Jasmine will eventually have face up by Jesmoth. =w=


DollPeddlar booth. So much to see! :D

LDoll - Part 1

I took pics only on Sunday but I've seen many pictures from the event from Saturday! ^^ It was really great to see there was so much people visiting on both days, especially Saturday. I took quite random pics, I had only my digital pocket one with me, so the pictures are fairly shaky and not very good. :P I tried to pic the OK ones.





Enaibi's red haired cutie was popular with photographers. ^^ She is indeed very talented artist.


Lelahel's booth at the corner left, Migidoll at right.


Corsets ~


I was so much drooling for the shoes. ALL pretty shoes!!!


Dust of Dolls pretty thingie with pointy earsies. *3*




Sharkyra's & Anna's table right beside ours. ^^


Perish Nine table. :3


So many pretty dolls at display. I love the clothing. Sorry the craptastic quality.



My dessert at "Le Paradis du Fruit" - restaurant. It was delichious.

Ldoll - how it was and what was left?

LDoll was fabulous, I had sewn for quite much clothes and I got a third or so sold at there. I'm soonishly putting up a thread in DoA about something that will fit Tinyfairy and maybe one pair of jeans that'll fit Shinies. I think I spent more money than I received, but that's just normal I guess. Travelling costs, hotels cost and food costs... I've mostly eaten pizza meals so I'm really glad my boyfriend had bought some fruits at home.

I did have a thought about buying a Bluefairy doll, if Think Pink would have any BF's with them. And.. Did they? Yes they did! They had two Tinyfairies, Jerome and Jasmine and I ended up with a mold which I didn't yet have, so Jasmine moved in. This is Cordelia, her sister will be called Anastasia. They kinda reflect how me and my sister were when we're young teens, we were everywhere together and I think we were good friends. I do miss her so much sometimes, my höpönassu ^^. :3 Anyway, Anastasia's mold will be Emilie when she'll someday come home. Cordelia also stole some wig and eyes from a doll I put for sale in DoA, take a look at her if you're interested in FL Juri 08. ;3 Have to advertise a little, she's a cutie, I hope she'll get a good home.

Here's Cordelia, without face up. She'll go to face up artist soonishly, there's no hurry tough. ^^ I have to think about her face up anyway, about what kind of things I want for her. I think darker face up would be nice.

LDoll Crafts Preview

Here's a little preview from some clothes that are coming with me. So far I've sewn many jeans for TinyFairy, mainly for boys but there's really not that much of a difference in boy and girl bodies (except for the Gentle) besides the side where the "fly" opening is. I don't know for sure if that matters anymore, clothes has become so unisex anyway. I guess if they don't sell, some of my boys will have new clothes as well as girls too. T-shirts are something that anyone can wear, only the lady cut are of course different. Well... girly boys could wear them so I don't think there'll be a problem. ^^ Some pictures!


Lukas will come with me to the festival this time. ^^ Tobias was there last year but Kirane asked me to bring Sweet Day Louis so he will be there. T-shirts will fit slim mini size dolls, I've tried few on Minifee boy so I know that. Dunno about the jeans since I didn't have them with me. They might fit Unoa boys too, I'll try if I find someone who has one. (Girl next door has a Narin so I might ask if I can give that a try).


I'm really glad about the bleaching, it looks nice. ^^


I've taken far too less pictures from my boys! Lukas is so cute!

Sidenote: I got a shipping notice from Kissing Minimay. Yay. ^^ I hope she'll arrive in the beginning of the next week. *3*

Still waiting - Minimay

I'm waiting for Kissing Minimay still. ^^ I think she will be so very special, I wonder if I would be able to sew jeans that size... I haven't really tried to sew for Ofelia yet either, jeans or anything that complicated, I've still been so busy with LDoll sewing. I guess I'll get to concentrate on my own dolls after LDoll (8th-9th October), I have how ever sewn something for sale in Tinyfairy size, like jeans, I'm not sure if I'll be able to sew more but I'll certainly try. Minifee and Tinyfairy are quite similar in size so some of the clothes will certainly fit for them. Like T-shirts and blouses for boy and girl, Minifee hips are bigger than Tinyfairy, and even if their girl MNF bust is near same size as Tinyfairy, under their bust they are very different. ^^ I'm still glad some of the clothes will fit. Skirts, easily.

I do have seven pair of jeans (3 x SG male, 3 x TG unisex and 1 for TF) in progress today. I've sewn them into the point where I'll be top stitching a lot tomorrow. I also borrowed my friends Supergem male (actually his body is SG, head is from K-Doll) and Eid Bichun so I'll take few pictures for future. I'm yet not sure if I'll take them outdoors, but I have to think about it. Elina told me that she wouldn't mind. I'm only afraid I'd break them, even if Adriel is huge lump of resin and he would look awesome outdoors. Have to think about it. ^^ Also, I'm really happy I've managed to make so much stuff and that the feedback which I've gotten has been good.

You know that never change, even how much of experience you have with the things you do, it still does feel really nice if people like your creations. Big thanks for all who have commented in different places. You're such darlings you are. ^^

LDoll - So close!

I've been really busy sewing for LDoll. I usually only sew on weekends but now I've also been working during the evenings after work. SO much to do!!! Here's a little teaser from the jeans I sew. Also I've been sewing some corduroy trousers in some sizes. I do wish people will like them and buy them. After the event I'll sell the leftovers at the forums. I don't know how many pairs of jeans I should sew? I've now sewn some for TF, EID, Delf and Supergem woman and.. TG/Shiny. :P It takes time to first sew and then bleach and wash and wash again and... I'm sure I'm not going to make it to the goal of 200 items, but I do think the quality of my work is good. ^^ So at least that's what I'm happy about.



I know I started sewing really early, but I should've started even earlier.

Working much!

I've been on holiday and half of it I was back at my parents home visiting them with my boyfriend. Second half I've been staying at home, mostly sewing things for LDoll. There's still a bit of over month time until the event (it will take place 8.-9. October 2011, Double Mixte convention centre, Lyon, France). I've been, and I am still very exited and happy about the event. I've been sewing clothes for the event since me and some friends are going to go there to sell our stuff. ^^ I'm sewing t-shirts, blouses, jeans, trousers, skirts... I hope to make a little bit for all sizes. Jeans are the ones that demand most work, I'm trying to bleach the jeans to be more real.. and maybe I'll give them a little bit of sandpaper treatment too. I've got a whole lots of things to do!

I still took a little bit of time for me today and sew leggings and vest dress what ever thing for Audrey. I also braided her new wig for two braids on friday and I think she looks really cute. The wig is lovely, very full and biiig, made by SweetNeat. Audrey looks fabulously cute. I think she'd need a nice long sleeve t-shirt to accompany her new look. Or some big beads around her neck. I'm going to sew more clothes for LDoll, but it is nice to sew something for my own dolls every now and then. I try to take some pictures next week. ^^

Still Waiting and other blabla

I wonder how long it will take to ship the PF Kissing Minimay. I've seen people receive some Robins but none of the ones that have been ordered via Angeldolls, I hope everything is ok since I haven't also heard from the for a long time. They must be busy with the London shop arrangements but it would be nice to hear some news. I'm also eagerly waiting for some shoes I ordered with Kitten Mittens set for Ofelia, she will be happy to have them. ^^

Anyway, while waiting for Anni I've been busy with work work work and with summer. These days has been so hot it takes all the living juices out of me. x_x I did manage to sew new puff sleeved T-shirt for Mimosa on friday night (yes! Night!) and I'm truly smitten with the shirt. SO CUTE! Chloe also got new tube top and... uh, well it does show her best figure, the top. I'll take a pic from them later and edit it here. ^^

Today I'll sew for LDoll. I've also been thinking to open a little ready to wear shop thing for BF clothes... I might add up there other size clothes too besides TF, SF and PF, but I want to sew especially for BF's. Nobody is surprised? I have to think about it. I'm sure I'm not able to sew that much and I won't be taking orders since it is highly stressfull and I really don't need to be stressed. I would like to have more time for sewing, just that it seems like I've always have other things to do so much that I find it difficult to take time for sewing. Also, my home is a constant mess and I'd need to clean up a little but seems like I can't help it at the moment. Todays plan: Some sewing, few pictures from Mimosa and Chloe and then bake a cake for boyfriend. ^^


Chloe looks so fabulous in red. Her colours are definitely turqoise, mint, red and maybe pink? I first sew a pink slip on top, but I think this one looks far better. ^^ She'd need the red Mary Janes shoes from Luts tough. :D


I tried to find some white or of white thin jersey since I knew we have some, but instead my boyfriend suggested this white with grey flower pattern. ^^ So cute and fits her so nicely and with the skirt! Maya will need herself a puffy sleeve t-shirt too.


Boob envy? ^^
