Boys, Etsy, sewing woes

Wow, I'm amazed about the amount of people who participated in my Giveaway! ^__^ Thank you all once again for participating. Since that was so cool and fun I will have another one in the future, no time decided yet. :D I added some stuff to my Etsy shop among the Moe line jeans and Tinyfairy jeans, I'll be sewing more of Minifee A-line jeans later since they seem to be something people want to have. Also I want to remind gently that I'm working full time and have a shift work which is very tiring so I do not take any custom orders. There is little time to do home errands, sew for dolls, spend time with the boyfriend and see friends, I thank you for understanding. ^^;

Ok, back to dolls then again! I'm really feeling the urge to sew winterwear for them all right now! MAN how cold this mornings has been last week! The stars were so bright, I saw Orion there shining for me when I walked down to the bus stop at 5 AM. My Tinyfairy Boys are hanging around at the craft room's shelf. Even Marcus and Angus joined in and I undressed them from the café outfits. I have a little bit of trouble with the boys clothes I have to admit. I have very little of imagination with them and mostly what the boys seem to wear at the moment are long sleeved jersey t-shirts. But what else could I make for them. Maybe some vests and that sort of things that I've already made for sale earlier. Also, some hoodies. But I'd definitely need some happier colour fabrics! Mostly what I have in storage are girly materials but I'd love to get some colourful stuff and then try figure out what to make from them. ^^; Anyway, I have few ideas but I also need to make them and not only to talk! I took a photo of my boys, so you can see how they are. I do think there are need to buy some new eyes, at least for Áron (Kevin) and Marcus (Robin). They definitely need smaller size eyes so I can have them look a little bit older. I also find out today that some of the boys would really like to get some sneakers. Lukas, Tobias and maybe Noah would really like those kind of shoes. I might have wanted to order a doll together with some stuff but the order period seem to have get longer for Bluefairy and what is available and when is totally different story. So still need some waiting, maybe Minoruworld would have some things in stock that I want.

Bah, the glasses of our balcony are shining the light to the left side and thus Lukas, Miio and Áron's faces are too light. :P I didn't dare to move the table or the backdrop anymore since it took quite a while to get the Gentle bodied guys to stand.

Fairyland has an event going on at the moment. I'll definitely want to buy some bodies for the rolling heads, but I'm still waiting for some reason. Maybe I want order more than one at the time, Fairyland doesn't offer Feeple 60 bodies or dolls at the moment so the Feeple heads have to wait yet a little longer to get their bodies. I think I'll stick with the plan to get Minifee bodies first becouse they're more easy to reach. Maybe I'll wait for the Christmas event to get all three I need at the moment. The heads are having their face up and I'm prepared to wait longish time. ^^ This time I'm not going to get any rolling heads with the bodies. They were easy to sell, but I'd rather buy a pair of hands with that money.

I made a backdrop thingy from thick cardboard (in finnish that's "kapalevy", kinda have two cardboards and between them some foamy thing?) and photographed some of my dolls before it.

You can set the angle of the boards as you like, they're glued and papered together like book covers. My friend picked up the paper for this and I'm really glad since she picked nicer than I would've done!

Size is good for Tiffany too. I think I'm able to photograph the Delf with this.

Lol, Alexander is too tall for this. He is currently my tallest doll and I think I'll keep it that way. ^^

This is from yesterday, Elle and Hortensia are posing for the sales clothes. ^^ They so pretty!

I also took photo of Ebony, my sisters tanning Lishe. She has too little camera time! ^^ And definitely needing a new set of clothes. :D I do think this is an on going thing in my gang, there's always someone who needs clothes.

Some more Comparison

Just a little bit more of comparison from Gentle, Dandy and Boy bodies. Mainly becouse hobbywhelmed at DOA asked about how old were the dolls in the previous comparison. Just out of curiosity, came few more photos.


Jerome 2005 normal skin (also called the peachy), Louis Valentine 2011 normal skin, Kevin white skin I don't know excactly when the Cafe Bluefairy sets were made, maybe 2013? I bought him from LDoll 4 so not much earlier than that 2012-2013. I should've compared my Robin, since he is the newest guy in the house.


Two Dandies. They are same size, no difference. Louis has Dandy body from At Your Service Kyle (was made around 2007?) and Louis Valentine from 2011.


AYS Kyle head has Sweet Day Louis's body from 2007, Jerome has boy body from 2005 and WWN Tommy (girl face up) has WWN Sarang Boy body.. Ummh not sure about the year.

So, Bluefairy is having a body event soon, at 24th September, is anyone going to buy something? I'm a bit surprised they didn't show any photos of the New Girl body. Those prices are good I guess, I'm a bit tempted to get something but I can't becouse I just fell for another Fairyland head and LDoll is just around the corner now. I bought NS Chloe elf head, I had the white one but that certainly wansn't for me. I'm so happy I got the head but I know I need to get the bodies for several heads (and one is SD size! Ouch!), well if not straight away, then with in.. two years? Would be good goal. I think I'm leaning towards Feeple60 Moe body for Chloe elf, Yder MNF might look nice with Moe boy body, Nanuri 14 goes to A-line normal body and Sarang MNF I'd prefer another Hybrid M-line girl for her. I kinda think the smaller boobs would look really nice with her. They're good in their box tough. No hurry.

I also went to photograph some dolls last weekend with non-dolly-friends. I guess they were amused since some nice tourists came to talk about these "SD-dolls" with me. I tried to explain that my BJD's there were MSD size, but different companies have different names for their products even if the usual are those of Volks' and then the numeral uh.. thingies. 1/3, 1/4 and 1/6 etc. Anyway, photos coming later. ^^ Last weekend was super great! It was sunny and funny. Yay.

First of Spring

And that is? A proper photoshoot at the Japanese style garden nearby with a friend. We both took our Jerome's with us, she took Aslan (Minoruworld Magic School Student) and I took Tobias (basic Jerome) and Áron (At Your Service Jerome). I also had Emma (basic Xiao) and Noah (Walking with November Tommy) with me. It was great fun! ^^ I've also had great spirit on sewing for Ily and she will need her dress finished with glass beads and such. I will need to buy few other shades of beads, I only have clear and I'd love to have some shimmering light pink and white ones too...

Anyway, to the shoot! I'll put here only few photos and you can go and check the rest from my Flickr. I do wonder how you can make a cut here, I've seen those but don't know how to do that.

Noah

Noah, oh Noah. He is a Walking With November Tommy who was sold as a girl set in 2007. My friend was selling the head with boy body and after lurking and watching and drooling and crying I decided to make an offer to buy him. I've always thought Tommy was a boy mold for me, so I'm glad I found him. He is, so far the newest of my Tinyfairies. I'll still have more of them, one is in manufacturing line at the moment, but he is the newest at home. ^^ Somehow he reminds me how my brother looked when he was a kid, blue eyes and the blondest of blond hair.

He needs some clothes so I can take more pictures, he only has the Sweet Day Louis clothes at the moment, but I'd need to make him some jeans and few shirts. I can see him wearing natural blues, browns and maybe some beige in trousers. Noah and Emma are propably the ones that I've been least thinking about, or their backgrounds but here is a few things. ^^

Background story:
Noah has lived in the house all of his life. His parents have rented a nice apartment from there and he goes to the same school as Tobias. He has few siblings, they all have blonde hair and blue or green eyes. He is kind and loves to play video games and board games. He doesn't particularly like school, but is better than avarage in there in other subjects than arts. He likes to spend his time with Tobias and they like to play games together.
