everything a big bad wolf could want

Who's that I see walkin' in these woods? Why, it's Little Red Riding Hood. - Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs I know I post pics of deer hats all the time lately, but I've been making so many of them!! Right now, on my girls and on my desk in various niches, there are eleven. ELEVEN. It makes me quite happy to see so many little pointed hats and antlers and fluffs of pom. Half the...

October's around the corner!

It was blissful outside today. Cool, crisp, clean-feeling. I sat outside taking pics of my dolls for a while by my favorite tree and was just basking in how nice it felt.  I got a ton of pictures taken, mostly of Plummery modeling the frost hat.  (Frost hats are available in my shop; they're $2 more than my others due to the beadwork.) But also including an updated family portrait: I...

Gavvy's new chips

Last night Gavin got two of her sets of eyechips switched out with chips I ordered from Brainworm. Her stock green got replaced with black (I love! She looks so, so sweet and doe-eyed) and her stock pink with milky pink (a little creepy). Here she is modeling a custom-made by request fauna deer hat with a chin strap and button instead of pom ties. It's dim and rainy-ish out, not very good light...

Mr. Schue, is he your son?

I got a few of my neutral items in the mail yesterday -- hooray! I love this cape! Man, did I have a scare this weekend! My computer died. Like, died. It wouldn't even start up. I had an internal panic attack, because I use my computer for work (my actual jobs in addition to stuff like Etsy) as well as play. I don't know what I would do if I had lost it. Luckily my sister's tech-savvy boyfriend...

candy girl, you are my world

I love this colorway! It's actually called "Cotton Candy." These are so cute in real life, I could die. They really remind me of the Blythe doll My Little Candy. If I had her, I would deck her out in one of these babies. I added these to the shop this morning, but I have three more hats in progress so I'll be adding more so...

gorging myself

First, can I just say re: America's Next Top Model (yes, I still watch this hilarious trainwreck; I just mute Tyra)... TEAM ANN! I love-love-love the awkward girls, and I love her sense of humor. When she was joking about her ideal guy being a warlock, breathing fire, and knowing how to make sushi, I was just like, "You just won me for the rest of the cycle!" Then she took the best picture. Saw that...

A strange sort of witch, with a kind and loving heart.

Gavin has spent her first week here in her stock and then in random bits and bobs that didn't suit her, but finally one of the dresses I scored on PP for her arrived today! Oh, pretty girl! That white hair makes her look like a Tim Burton character. It's just about the time of year where I slip into my annual "Why Can't I Dress Like Katrina Van Tassel??" obsession. More on that later, I'm...

Dressy little accessories I am loving to look at lately! Necklace for humans: An Apple A Day pendant by JewelryDeli on Etsy. I just love this! Christmas, I tell myself... Necklace for Blythes: kawaii mushroom necklace by GlamourFae on Etsy. I love this cuckoo clock necklace too!! My girls NEED this gold netted beaded headband by Blythe Candy! This Forest Tea Party hair crown by LambCandy on Etsy...

a scissor runner stole my heart

Guys, last night I had a dream that Lafayette from True Blood gave me a tattoo of David Letterman, who was dressed up in some kind of weird costume in the tattoo. I don't know what this means, but I'm just going to guess: I need the last episode of True Blood already! Good long weekend! I spent a good deal of the weekend with my youngest sister -- we went shopping, test-sprayed perfume (my sister...

girly joy

I emerged this morning and found this box by my door! "There's a box for you," sang my mother, who knew I was expecting a new Blythe. "A BOX, FOR ME?" I echoed. (Internal Caps Lock was on.) My dad said, "Yeah, but it's ticking, so..." I can't believe how quickly she arrived! She was in Chicago, last I checked, and I didn't know if she would get through customs very quickly or if I wouldn't...

Bumbie's Mom

I got those deer hats finished up last night! Hooray for sticking to goals. This flora deer hat (the one with the bright pink) has one pom with tons of pink and one pom with no pink. I like that even though sometimes I make duplicates of hats, whether by request or to use up the rest of some yarn, every hat (and every antler perched upon every hat!) is still unique in its own little way. I got...

PDP FTW

Happy September! It's raining outside; gray weather is my favorite. I am the opposite of people with S.A.D. -- I feel delicious when it's icky out and I am safe and warm inside. Today I'm doing some typing work, then finishing up another two deer hats. That's my goal, anyway! Last night I made a purchase I've been hovering over for the past couple of months... A Prima Dolly Paris. It's funny because...
