I'm very proud to present to you a new style of hat this fall. For a long time I wanted to do something like this, a hat that has some sort of lace between the brim and the head part. Some years ago it was quite stylish to actually cut holes into the felt itself, but I rather wanted to go with cotton lace instead. Also I'm introducing soft - which means bendable - brims this year. So that you do have more options to style the hat. See you at LDoll next week! :D

We're getting ready for LDoll here. Unfortunately while trying on the hats and taking photographs of them I noticed that a huge part of the hats turned out to be sizes 6/7 and 7/8 with some of them fitting also smaller 8/9 heads. So, yes, I will have basically hats for the Tinies and the Minis this year. 

…but I actually scored third place in the DoA Couture Contest. I feel so happy currently. Thank you so much everyone <3 ! For those of you who aren't on DoA, here are the pictures I entered for the contest: And here are some more, though basically the same from the details pictures. Hopefully there will be enough sunshine this week so I will be able to do a new picture set of it. The day I took these it has been raining and I had to use a whole lot of lamps to illuminate her well enough to be able to take some decent pictures of her. 

This time in SD13/Delf size. I guess I'll bring a couple of them to Lyon, too. If I only knew how to make a proper display for them. And now back to sewing and preparing hats. xD

… so you all know what I have been up to. First of all I had to finish my entry for this year's DoA Fashion Contest. Well, considering what amazing prizes there were gifted for this contest and also taking into account how many awesome seamstresses we've got on DoA, I'm afraid my humble entry won't stand a chance ;). But let's return to more serious things. I did finish two commissions for friends as well these days and I really hope that I will be able to start making more for my sales table in Lyon soon. Lately many people have asked me about harem pants and those modern, more baggy adaptions of it. So as some kind of try I made these here: Pirates! Baggy harem pants for MNF or KID  To my big surprise, I actually like them. I'd never thought that this kind of style would look so cute on dolls. So I guess she will be allowed to keep those, but I will make a couple more and some of them might be available at LDoll, too.

So, I thought it was about time that I will let you know what I have been up to lately. I already started preparing some items a couple of weeks ago, but I will be definitely making more in the coming months. As usually I have made hats . And this year be prepared for a lot more colors. (Is there interest for some more plush hats for the tinies, too?) Then there will be a little bit of doll jewelry and other funny accessories . Stay tuned, I'm going to post a couple of items, soon :). Cloche hat, size 6-7,5 , color: yellow

Well, not just around the corner, but I'm still already preparing a couple of items for my sales table there. I will again make some hats, probably some bonnets, too. Also I might have some bags for BJDs available, too. Stay tuned, for I will post all the items for LDoll here on this blog, too.
