Current Mood : Happily creative !
Got to sew today ! I’d been
kind of wanting to try a yoked skirt, and this one from Kristine Ann’s looked
like it’d work…and it did ! I confess, I was looking for deep purple fabric,
but the two pieces I could easily snag just weren’t good shades of it. The
green, however, looked close enough to the Stardoll blouse’s leaves, so I used
it instead. It’s a great pattern. Start to finish took less than half an hour,
and it fits beautifully. I hope to try it tomorrow, lengthened a bit. Or use
that lace I got last weekend on a straight skirt pattern of hers I haven’t tried
yet.
I also found a scrap of
black ribbon while cleaning under my desks, cut from something else, and made
her a headband. I like how it looks on her, but I still need to give her a
quick boil rinse. It helps hide the bends in her hair from the original side
ponytail and packaging.
Found a box to boost the
bleachers up, and I got it installed – then realized I couldn’t see the faces
of any dolls on the back row. Not gonna happen ! So I cut up a ramen box into
strips, taped them together, covered ‘em with paper, and made a seat booster.
Much better ! Every time I think I may wanna buy the Coffin Bean playset, or
just two of its sofas off eBay, I remember how most doll sofas are too low and
hold off. I ended up coming up with a rough design for one of my own. It won’t
look nearly as polished, but at least I won’t have dolls sitting weirdly on it
! I just have to find some more cardboard…
While I was up there, I made
space for Christopher Baines, formerly known as ‘Puma Dude’ , with the rest of
the fellas. Speaking of the luscious MH guys,
I’ve heard rumors that Gil Weber is shipping again – that Gloom Beach
assortments have been appearing at Mal-Warts and Targets. Curious, I looked him
up online, and was stunned to see he commands over $100. on eBay. Out of box !
I sure hope it’s true he’s been re-released. He’s awesome, and well worth
adding to any group of MH dolls !
Well, here’s hoping I get to
sew more tomorrow – and that you get to enjoy a day your way, too !
