Mrs. Retro Mama!

I love, love this girl, so sad I didn't order her she's now a small fortune.

Winter Princess!

3 piece Dress set by Las Mininas at Etsy. Inspired by the Scandie Lands. (even though Marteniza is in Bulgaria, shhhh...don't tell ;) )
White faux fur hat completely lined with mushroom and tulip print and piping trim, snap strap. Dress has three prints, mushroom & tulip print, matching multi-stripe, and red ground with white polka-dot. Two Tiny red buttons on chest. Lace on collar, chest and forearms. Matching muffler to keep her hands toasty roasty warm is also white faux fur with red cord. This one is mine but I will make only 3 you can pre-order them on Etsy.

New fabrics!

check out the new fabrics I got at the Bust Craftacular this weekend! Flickr fabrics

Lions, Tigers, and Bears, OH MY!

Mathilda and I took a trip to the american museum of natural history this week, it was great! Some of the creatures need a little oiling of their fur they are looking a bit dry. The light in there is meant to keep things mysterious and hide the fucked up looking stuff, but it sucks for taking pics. So any-who, I shot most of the pics at ISO 400 and a low F-stop, which made a lot of them grainy, but I prefer grainy over flash pics. Check out our visit at my flickr

I finished! Tiny coats galore!

I finally finished the last five coats for the Bust Craftacular, which is tomorrow, and I dropped them off with Gina. I'm so wicked tired right now. Here are the coats

Craftacular has arrived!

These are 5 out of the 10 little Blythe coats for Las Mininas that I made. They will be on sale a Gina Garan's Blythe table at the Bust craftacular in New York. Get 'em before they're gone! ;)

I LOVE CONEY ISLAND GROUP ART SHOW!

Debra and I both have stuff in the this art show so come by on friday! I have Blythe photos on display!

In the Studio

me making tiny coats

Coffee anyone?

This is Emi's 2nd new dress I finished sewing the pockets on this weekend. One pocket has a very happy pot of coffee and the other a smiling cup o' joe! I realize now that because the tweed is a lot heavier than what this pattern was originally intended for it sticks off her body to much making the pockets look uneven. Next time I have to make the skirt of the smock less bulkier by reducing the width of the fabric. But I think it looks lovely on her especially with the new tights I made too. I'm thinking of making a brown turleneck to go under this dress. Let's see when I have time.

Emi's new Fall dress

I finished Emi's dress about a week and half ago, but this weekend was the first time I had a chance to photograph it. I used some of the fabric that I brought back from Japan. I think it really suits her coloring, golden! I have many more pics of Emi in all her fall glory at my Flickr

I finished her second dress this weekend , it's a brown tweedy fabric with two embroidered pockets, but haven't had a chance to shoot pics hopefully I'll get some sun tomorrow and I will post it.

My Etsy right now is empty I'm working on some coats for the Bust Craftacular in NY, then I'll be making more coats, overalls and dresses for my Etsy store so please keep tuned in.

Mamacita Needs a Home! ASAP

Debra and I caught the stray, Mamacita, that lives in the parking lot
on the corner of our block this Sunday. Mamacita, has lived there for
about 8 years and the neighborhood folks fed her and loved her. She
was also caught about 8 years ago, spayed, and released. She's a sweet
and tough petite little girl and has survived many harsh summers and
winters,but this Fall she fell ill and she started deteriorating. So
after many tries at capturing her we finally succeeded this Sunday
and brought her to our vet at Animal Kind Medical Center in Park
Slope. She has had ever test under the sun, she is Feline Leukemia and
HIV negative, free of Kidney, liver and thyroid diseases. She's just
elderly and may have inflammatory bowel disease which is treatable
with antibiotics which they already started her on. She is currently
residing at the vet's which is costing Debra a small fortune and all
her tests and meds were also paid for. Now many folks on the block who
claim to love this kitty have said they would help financially or try
finding a home for her, but few have contributed financially and no
one is helping in finding her a home. If we put her back in the
parking lot were she may what to be she may die this winter because
she's weak and needs time to heal. So we really need to find her a
home quickly and it has to be someone who is willing to provide her
medical care. She's incredibly friendly, she loves a belly rub, and
she's very tidy, she knows how to use her litter box. She tolerates
dogs and other cats. She's very petite, she's so small she looks like
a kitten. Please help us find her a home. Contact us at
ilovemamacita@yahoo.com (please do not respond to this email at this
address because it will go into my junk folder if I don't know you.
Please be serious and well intentioned.

New Girl for December "Odekake Kimono Musume"

"Odekake Kimono Musume", not my cup of tea. She looks like a Picca and quite honestly a Picca is cuter. AND what's with the outfit?! The Kimono is really sweet but wtf's up with the hat, it looks like my grandmother put the outfit together.

A must for Christmas!

you can purchase this cuddly duo Pee and Poop or enjoy one of these other fine toys

Piggy Porn!

Okay, Elfdoll just put out another 2 Alice pigs! I love her to bits but alas she's is truly out of my budget at a wopping $290. Prepare to scream!

Introducing Emi (Hello Harvest Blythe)

This is my newest girl Emi, she's a Hello harvest. I went over to Gina's studio to pick her up. It was nice to see Gina again, and I brought Debra and a friend from work who's into dolls. She had her mind blown by Gina's studio.

Tokyo pics!

Jillybug's custom overalls

I finished this commission last night. Jill asked for a pair of overalls that matched her peppermint corduroy coat with a little mouse on it, that she just purchased from me last week. So here is Mathilda modeling the peppermint corduroy overalls with a kitty on the pocket.

Racoon and Pamolive

Okay, why is it exactly this Racoon is washing the dishes? PLUS wearing an apron to boot?!

OK! WHY WASN'T I TOLD ABOUT THIS DOLL?!

Fall coats! Creamsicle colors!

I just finished these 4 little coats they are up on my etsy store, get'em quick, because they usually go right away. They are all lined and hand embroidered.I had started them at the end of the summer but had to stop work on them because of the Curious Pictures job. Then I left for Japan, so for the last few days I have been embroidering on the train on the way into my freelance job in the mornings to get these guys finished up and start some new stuff with all the new fabrics I got in Japan!

sorry for the huge pics, but you wouldn't be able to see the embroidered details otherwise.

Awesome Fabrics from Japan

This just a sample of the great fabrics I bought in japan, check out my Flickr for the rest.

Came back from Japan with my new girls

So of course if I was going to japan I couldn't possibly come back without a Blythe or two. So I bought a 12" Dainty Biscuit, her hair is the perfect shade of bubblegum pink, and 2 petites, Pink Doodle Poddle (also awesome pink hair!), and Lemon Butter (love her freckles!)I need to name these girls. Biscuit, might be Sakura although my Star D is Suki short for Sakura, but I thought since Sakura means cherry blossom it'd be appropriate for Biscuit.
