 What to do if the magnets that your dolls came with for their ears are to weak to hold said ears on, especially if this doll is wearing a more voluminous wig? The answer is simple, just sandwich one more strong magnet between the weaker ones. Go for rare earth/neodym magnets as these are extremely strong and choose them similar to the size (or little bigger) of the original magnets your doll came with. Also try to get rather flat ones, as you don't want them to be lifting your dolls wig too much.   The extra magnets are supposed to sit under the wig, else you would most likely see them. Then again, if you really have an extra voluminous, curly wig, you might even consider to put them over the wig, so that the ears can still be seen and don't disappear between the curls ;). 

  Lillycat Chibbi Newt So there are some dolls that really need a new makeover.  Just like this poor Kitty here. Although I actually like her wig as it goes really well with her eye color, it just doesn't fit her very particular head shape perfectly. It's a hard cap wig and without the magnets in the cat ears it would probably not even stay on. So I guess we'll have to find her another one.  And if we're already at it: the poor girl has been wearing this romper for over a year now, because I just don't have so many outfits for her very special and extremely pear shaped body.  So the plan for the end of the year is: find Semiramis a new wig and make her a new outfit, preferably something that would match the season outside.  *** Da ich ja diesen Blog etwas wiederbeleben will, ist die beste Idee ein paar WIPs zu posten. Auf diese Weise bekomme ich endlich wieder etwas für die Dollies gemacht und vielleicht ist die Info ja nützlich für den ein oder anderen.  A...

Since there is currently a preorder for the Chibi version of Newt, I thought I'd share a picture of my (original sized) Newt. I really like this kitty a lot, however, I think I do have to change something about her style. She might need another, more dramatic face-up I think. I don't have any clues though what exactly I'd love for her. Maybe for a change I should try myself at changing (or improving) her face-up. If everything fails, I can still send her away for a more professional face-up. And, of course, I also need the Chibi Version of her :D. 

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?

The project picnic rug is going fine so far. I created 5 of them that's all I intend to make so far. My dolls are also enjoying them, too.
