Hello! Happy June! Happy pride!
I've been in survival mode the past few months. Sort of painedly sticking out a rough season of life. Makes it a challenge to know what to even say in a post here on good ol' Cure Touch.
Here's Olwenn. Man, Takara knew what they were doing, putting Sporty Spice Lover (err, Sporty Lover Finesse) in red. She looks so dang good in it. I love her orange eyes, too. I think the only ones I want to change are her green set...
(Shorts: fromtheORN. Blouse: dollykiss, but it's from a long time ago. Boots: Takara I Love Shoes Red set.)
Haha, the last thing I need is more doll shoes (I bought both Takara I Love Shoes sets last fall), but I just bought a buttload of 'em on Etsy. Look, my Licca-bodied girls have but two pairs of shoes! One pair for each of them! I've been meaning to buy Licca shoes for years and only just did it. I hope they fit. It's a bit of a gamble when people lump shoes/clothing for many types of dolls under one umbrella, because surely what fits Barbie will fit Blythe.
Of late, I've gotten heavily into needle felting. I got a Woolbuddy felting mat and can't be stopped. My main interest is making Blythe stuff, such as small bags, and headbands in the style of sugarduckfairy (who doesn't seem to sell Blythe headbands currently, but her shop is dinosaurparties). I'm literally copying her designs. I have three of her headbands and love them so much, and would like thirty of them. I hope I can send her pics eventually. Like, as a fan. I really think these headbands are what inspired me to get into needle felting.
So, my guilty pleasure has become looking at wool roving packs on Etsy and picking out the perfect cinnamon colors, et cetera. Here's a pack that would match Olwenn today. All images sampled from oneoftheflock!
Oh, lovely to see a new post! I'm sorry that life is rough for you these days - it definitely feels that way to me as well. I wish I had any kind of help to offer! Here's hoping the licca shoes come through for you! Having choices is so important. I went on a Blythe shoe-buying spree myself a while back and I don't regret it a bit! I'm so excited to hear about your needle felting! I have one of those headbands with antlers from a swap many years ago and I treasure it. I don't think there's such thing as too many of those either!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I'd love to see what kind of shoes you got for your Blythes!
DeleteI have made five headbands thus far. Still kind of figuring out what I like to do for the ears...
Thank you, friend! What a weird couple of years it's been!! Hopefully better days area ahead. :)
