Christmas and Stuff

Okay, so Christmas was and went, I spend time with my siblings and parents and had a really great time with them too. I missed them a lot. At Kainuu there at least was some snow, which we don't have here in the capital city and it already made me feel more Christmassy than anything else. I made a big snow lantern which had a candle inside, twice, becouse it had been so wet and sloppy that the first one collapsed down. I hoped it would last the Christmas eve and it did.



There was a candle inside to make it glow beautifully. ^^ Also, we had a Christmas tree, I decorated it with my sister. That's another tradition.
In all, I had a great time with them. Did nothing but ate, slept and surfed (yikes) mostly. I don't know, I could've taken the time off the net, but as the weather there was so wet I couldn't really spend my time outside either. I didn't bring any dolls or books but I managed to take few naps, which was nice and followed what the kitty did (she mostly napped too).

I saw the Hobbit - Desolation of Smaug at New Years eve with my boyfriend and we also went to cinema on Sunday (Gravity) and today to see Frankenstein, which was really great encore from London National Theatre. Fabulous. All in all, this year has began with style. I'm waiting what new things it will bring.

LDoll 5 is going to be again on October, that's going to be exiting. I'm hoping a lot of people will attend, it's been getting better and better event every year. I've already began sewing and slowly I'll sew few pieces for LDoll and few pieces for Etsy. I've decided to devide my sewings a little bit, since there's been quite much of people asking about certain things. I'm happy and surprised about that to be honest. Really amazing that people really wish to buy things I've sewn. Thank you all who have faved my shop or went to see what's it about. ^^

I got back my Pukipuki Ante from Jesmoth and man! Did she do what I asked, YES and a lot more!


Meet Butterfly, or Bug to friends. I asked for a Blue Morpho butterfly on her face, I guess I was quite spesific and Bug came out perfect! Jesmoth also painted a teeny tiny butterfly tattoo at her back. FABULOUS!



I am beyond happy, and can't wait to see how beautiful are the rest of the heads I gave her for face up. I'm wanting Juri 08 to be like she was, SA Hound to have a basic guy face up with thick eyebrows, Juri 13 to have a bit of gothy look on her and for Dark Elf Soo I gave a reference photo, but hoped she'd do similar eyebrows but do it more of her own style. Ah, they're going to be so pretty! All of them! I'm also pondering about the Fairyland order, when to make it. I know I need to wait until the next pay to come and then... BANG. At least Irma is going to have a body, I don't know for sure if I want to order a body for Juri 13 (whom I named Hortensia) yet. I would love to, since there's an event gift (greedy little monkey I am) at Fairyland still for a while and I'd have one rolling head less, until the gift would roll in... I need to count my finances really closely and think think think about it.

In all, the upcoming doll-year is looking promising with the Pupa*Casa white order Robin coming sometime during the spring. I'm not holding my breath, I'm sure they got huge amount of orders and that's going to take time to sort out. I asked Turbow to add some items for my order, few shoes and a wig. Not that I drooled for their other items, like dolls (Cafe Bluefairy Kate and Coyly June) and more shoes and accessories, clothes.. basicly everything she has in her stock. Lunar Fairy Coyly June is my highest interest, I'd be curious to see her body and compare it to the other bodies I have around. Also, Pocket Fairies have been around to interest me for long. I actually bougth Kissing Minimay back recently so Anni came home without the clothes set, but I was lucky to snatch it from elsewhere. Way to go me. I've been lucky in many things, I'm no more a rental force at my work but they hired me finally and even tough I'm not exited about the evening shift it's definitely better to be hired by the company instead of rental employers firm. And yay, steady income is always nice. ^^ Exiting year coming up!

Very Busy Times

It's only two months away! LDoll I mean. Time flies and some wonderful doll news has become true. ^^ I've adored Dark Elf Soo as a mold for a long time, I once had a Minifee which was head only and I had to sell her in need of finances. I really liked her so... I had the chance to order DES in light tan from Fairyland. I'm so happy! I wanted to have this doll so long and in TAN!!! ^^ I also ordered my first PukiPuki, which I'm a little bit afraid of, since it is tiny. Smaller than Pocket Fairy even, and that's really tiny. I wanted to have enough bought so that I'd be able to get the event head and it seems to be nice. ^^ More like a child-teen than than older teen. I don't mind, I'm just happy I'll have a gift!

At the morning after this I had an offer I couldn't refuse. I got my finances sorted out and got Juri 08 head. I'm yet to be thankfull for my friend who helped me out with this. I couldn't be happier. I almost cried when it turned out that I could really have this head. She'll be shipped out soonishly, and I'm thinking that she'll not be Fleur, like the previous one was, she'll be Brightbow Moonsparkle which was supposed to be the Nanuri Feeple60 Chloe elf head. Too bad I'm still not comfortable with white dolls, tough I do have several in other brands. I'm aiming on geting Bo and new Juri 13 some bodies later this year, or maybe in the beginning of next one. I haven't yet decided on the Juri 13, about what she'll be.. I guess if there's going to be any possiblities of getting a Moe body.. She'd look really nice. AND I'm sure I'd switch away the huge bust piece. ^^; More like Irma quality in that size.

It is always a risk to participate as a private exhibitor with a booth... I mean... sewing bunch of clothes, some in small quantities (I usually sew 1-3 of one color/model), I don't know which kind of clothes people will like! I sew what seems nice for myself, but that is always not meeting with the expectations of others. It is exiting, and nervwreking also at the same time. I do hope I will have.. well like last year, about third of my stock sold. The rest I'll be adding to Etsy. ^^ I've already began making a little shop in there. I think I need to take few photographs for it and make a little banner of my own. Exiting...

Dirk's new head is on it's way home. I'm hoping it will be arriving tomorrow morning OR I can get it from our local post office. I don't remember if I mentioned that I ruined his first head, what a bummer. I'm so careless... Not going to do any face ups at all. :P Don't want to ruin any more heads...

Exiting and busy times ahead. I've told my friends that I can't see them on weekends (mostly) and I'll be sewing most of free time when I have strengths to do that. LDoll is coming soon and I'm exited! ^^
