Current Mood : Impatient !
This is the fabric – well,
the second part to my order, the other part is five more pieces ! – I ordered
from Japan ! Sure, it’s a bit oversized for most doll clothes, but I think
it’ll make a gorgeous kimono for Ghoulia or maybe Catrine. Probably with a
solid white bodice, and this print from the obi down, and maybe the sleeves. Or
do one of each, one with a purple bodice and print sleeves, one with white up
top and print on the ‘skirt’ part. I got purple, but it also comes as scrap
pieces in pink and red. It’s only been ordered for a week, and I’m haunting the
mailbox. Too bad it’ll take anywhere from another week to a month to get here.
But there’s other things to
look forward to. The fourth NG Creations pattern arrived today, and I’m kind of
excited, but now I see how she did this one, and wonder if I spent money I
shouldn’t have. I mean, it’s neat – she
starts with three Basic dresses, then starts adding some small details to make
them Fancy, then adds more and bigger to make them Couture. Thing is, two of
the Couture dresses make me think less of Paris originals and more of ‘hot mess
in fabric’, and one of the Basic dresses is a repeat from Pattern #3, the
square neck one. And if ya wanna get technical, the one shoulder dress is kind
of an extension of the one shoulder bodice from #2. But long as I have it, I
may as well use it – just as soon as I get it scanned.
Still waiting on some shoes
I bought. I have those neat ‘pearl shell’ Lagoona shoes from her Dot Dead Gorgeous outfit, and Clawdeen’s
Dead Tired green slippers. I had fun
tonight going through all my MH shoes
because I saw an image of grey, semi-transparent ‘Barbarella’ shoes – where did
those come from ? Did I have them ? I had the gold pair (Clawdeen’s Sister set), the white pair (I <3 Fashion Abbey), the purple pair
(Abbey’s ‘budget’ fashion), and the black pair (Clawdeen’s Club fashion) – I thought I had ‘em all ! Turns out , I do – the grey
pair never existed, save for on a prototype photo of I <3 Fashion Abbey. Both her shoes in that photo were colored
differently that what was packaged in the eventual release. Whew ! I thought I’d
have to go on a shoe hunt tonight !
Got all the pairs…well,
paired, and not counting the 50 that are on dolls now, and the two pair not
here yet, I have ten pairs for the guys, ten for Howleen, 17 pairs of skates
(ice and roller), and 121 pairs for the ghouls. Wow. Think I can back off on
that now…
Finally got a workable,
wearable pair of hemmed shorts for HooDude. Extended it to pants, and I hafta
scan that, too. It’ll probably only be downloaded twice, but it’ll be there
soon for those two fans who wanna give the Dude some pants, but don’t wanna
shell for a pattern. Least I can do to give back. So, just give me a couple
more days, and it’ll be out !
And, yes, Beloved Hubby got
the Venus-diesel running again. Fuel filter was mucked up, something even he
says he should have checked/fixed months ago. What a relief ! Thanks for your
wishes and hopes ! Not having transportation in the States is darn near
impossible, and we live next to a major University. That doesn’t run buses on
Saturday, go figure. There are times I miss living overseas…
