After one week off, I'm back at finishing the rest of my current commissions. At the moment I'm developing another pattern for a MNF corset. This is my test piece. I really like how it turned out. Absolutely cute <3 I don't know why, but I enjoy sewing for my MNF more than for any other of my dolls. It's like a lot easier to sew for a mini sized doll. The only disadvantage is that I have to do a lot of handsewing when working in this small size. Usually I don't mind that. I really enjoy handsewing :).

Wow, he's handsome and I really like his face. His lips and chin slightly remind me of Chrom. I guess it's the first time I even really like the default Face-up and the wig on a MD for a very long time. 

So true. I had some fun playing with air drying clay the other day. It's so tempting to do extra parts for those dolls. In this case I made a little mouse set for my pukiFee Luna and a cat set for my Soom Chrom. Oh yeah, the poor one. He once was a wolf, then he became a ram, now I decided to make a cat out of him ;). Want to see first pictures?

So finally this week the last missing packages arrived. I'm just so glad everything is here. All those delays haven't been funny anymore. And since my Saiquina is now complete I couldn't wait any longer and tried to paint her face. I'm very happy with the result and think I'm going to leave her that way for now. I also learned something new: you can definitely spray sealer at -5°C . No white spots or any damage at all. It's just important that a) the doll head is warm, b) your can of sealer is warm and c) don't leave the head to dry outside. Just spray and return inside ;).

The kidz got a brand new billard table today, though it seems Chica is not amused. She claims the surface is too smooth :-/. And I admit she's right about that. I need to cover it with green felt.

 Still suffering from the flu, but at least I'm well enough to finally finish the Peter Pan costume for H.V. I think it turned out rather nice, considering the fact, that the overall design first seemed really strange to me. Guess I still prefer the traditional Peter Pan costume? ;) Anyway, the camouflage version from the movie is pretty interesting, too.  If you want to see more pictures:

Well, seems I finally figured out what to do with those few plateau boots I'm still left with. Oh those dire reminiscences of the days when almost all shoes for BJDs that were available would come with such hilarious plateaus. So the idea is the following, if they already look crazy and hopelessly seventies, why not go the whole way? I've started pimping them up and intend to make some glittery, ultimately tacky 70s Rock Star boots of them. Yay. Next up will be some bell bottom hipster pants to thematically go with them. Still looking for a volunteer among my dolls, though. Note to self: will need to watch out for some tiny disco ball pendants to replace the crosses on the boots. :-/
