video: Get Aury Ready With Me

Thursday, January 29, 2015

Man, I have a lot of requested videos to finagle for my YouTube channel. I'm not even sure I can do most of them! There are also videos that are my own ideas that I want to do... and I'm not sure I can do those, either. Videos where there are demonstrations are often way harder to shoot than you'd think, especially without a second party to be camera-person and make sure things are in frame/in focus......

sweet hearts

Wednesday, January 28, 2015

I was rendering a video yesterday (which is hours of "hurry up and wait" time) so of course I played about ten levels of Dr. Mario, but I also wanted to craft. Recently I strained my right wrist -- I have very weak wrists but do so much by hand that this happens about once a year to me -- so I knew it couldn't take any concentrated knitting efforts, so instead I learned how to make these little...

just plum darling

I'm loving Petaline in this dress from sleepforever. Even though it's very vintagey, she manages to look like a very prim schoolgirl with the headband, and prim is perfectly Petaline. I paired it with Simply Peppermint's black headband, these purple tights I've had for a while (Petaline is not the type to flash her plastic, so if she's going to be showing leg, it's got to have tights or high...

blue skies, gray eyes

It's actually nice out today! It's been below freezing here for several weeks and sunlight has been nearly unheard of, but it's sunny out right now. I still needed a sweater, but Fey was okay with her arms bare. I like this outfit on her -- the tights are this teal-y blue and her dress is black with white polka-dots, but she's wearing one of those little Mini Jijo tutu skirts underneath it and...

Leopard Sass!

Tuesday, January 6, 2015

The final addition to my Blythe family for a while (... I mean, probably) is Leopard Sass, an FBL with this lovely wheaty-goldy hair and sweet brown chips. You guys, I can no longer hide my crazy bias for FBLs. I just love FBLs! Every single official release I got this year was an FBL -- Wendy Weekender, Simply Bubble Boom, and now Leopard Sass! I did a deboxing video, as I often do. Because...

tiny knitting part two

Monday, January 5, 2015

I have to say, I am immensely pleased with the way these toothpick knitting needles turned out! (By the way, I had been intending on finagling some playscale knitting somehow, but this post on Blythe Life was the bizzity best.) I made three sets because I've had these great wooden beads on hand for years now, and only use them rarely on hats and such. They come in three shades and they...

tiny knitting

Sunday, January 4, 2015

It's been a while since I last knitted -- making hexipuffs strained my wrists and exceeded my skill levels, haha. But with the weather being so cold, my 2014 ripple being completed, and no hats immediately on my horizon, I decided to revisit knitting. I had to re-learn how to knit. I forget how if I don't do it often. And I don't. So I re-learned for at least the fifth time. But I picked...

Kickin' off 2015 with a Blythe haul!

Saturday, January 3, 2015

Happy New Year, errybody! I've been trying to keep after the post-Christmas mess that always inevitably appears at this time of year. So much packaging and new stuff! I filmed a "haul" video for my YouTube channel of the Blythe stuff I've picked up the past couple of months... One of the things I'm most excited about is the Ikea Huset furniture set! (I got two!! I have plans!) I'm also...
