Featured on a blog...

Ok so it's not a feature of my ITEMS, but we share some concerns

Mystic silks

recovering from having fun

last weekend I went to a doll meet in Madison, had a great time, but really tired myself out. (I'm STILL tired a week later, but I spent part of that weekend running on caffeine, i expected to be mostly recovered by Wednesday...)

well anyhoo, I had a great time, sold some stuff, bought some stuff....
Including Souji's hoodie from Sims, it's Toothless from _How to Train Your Dragon_ and she ALSO helped me fix the stringing in Souji's legs. He now stands up much steadier and no longer has "loose cording scoliosis" (she is now Officially : Auntie Sims)

A little boy doll got a Cthulhu plushie his human purchased, and a group of girls got a Hello Kthulhu. I was a little surprised by how popular Cthulhu and monsters are with the doll people... I always realized there was a big overlap of anime fandom, costumer fandom, and scifi fandom....but why didn't I think to bring the cthulhus sooner?

coming soon: beach dalek, and a review of Dreaming Tree eyes!

just finished commisson

Just finished a bespoke set of 4 items (pants, hoodie, tshirt, hat) for pukipuki, customer loves the photos...

making more dolly stuff

making more dolly dresses. (the middle sized one just sold... I love LOVE love this fabric)

Sent off a packet of Critters for the Art Show at CONvergence.


had sort of a rough week though.
Monday I was shopping and dropped a large can of cat food on my toe, so it's all bruised up... then Friday as I was headed to my car after the chiropractor, and I FELL and banged up my knee.

Though also on monday, one of my friends was mugged. she's recovering and doing ok, but OMG! My injuries from the week are very very minor in comparison.

Cashmere Feline

making lots of doll stuff lately, but I'm still making plushies...
just finished this bright pink and baby blue cat in cashmere.

5 in tall.

I keep thinking up names: "Boots"? nope , "Socks?" Nope...

very soft with a sweet expression, this little one is full of love and ready to share.

Yay!
the pattern reduced to 80% works perfectly...

I'm going to make a few more things for Ume... I've picked up some really cool lace and some organza and...

... and then I have to get back to work on the monsters!

Success!

Ume's lacy dress 2, a photo by trinlayk on Flickr.

a quicky test dress, reduced to 90% of the original pattern (see prior "dress of fate")...

It turned out lovely, and I think I'll do more with lace soon.

it fits almost perfectly, I'll do one or two more out of scraps, and then try to do one in the blue fabric with the roses again.

yay. \

I've got enough of the blue fabric to make another dress in this size. but I don't know if I have enough of the fabric, to scale up the pattern to fit the Littlefee and make a matching dress.
