I'm working on some outfits for my Kitty Jolie, right now. Since she is a romantic type of Kitty, she'll get some Mori style outfits - and once I'm happy with the design, I plan on making 2 more for sale in LDoll. Also I plan on making some jump suits for her and for MSD as well. They are all the rage here, so why not create some for the dolls as well. It will be a little challenge, given her hip/waist ratio, but it should work. PS: in this photo Melody wears a corset by Raouken and a skirt, hair band and basket by me. PPS: I tried to upload some photos of Melody to the flickr Cerisedolls group, but apparently it doesn't work? Is the group not active anymore? Does anyone know something?

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. 

… 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
