Anticipated Bday Present?
Nope. Actually, yes. I talked to the hubby and he told me to order it ahead of time, to see if I could get it in time for August, when my BDay actually is. In fact, I wanted to share today the order, but the thing is... the seller hasn't answered back? It has been already more than a week, and they didn't answer my commission request?I personally want to hope the best, but it is kind of worrisome. And I don't want another thing. I know, there are other dolly things I want, but I wanted this thing more than the others! It is a dilemma, what to do? I want to wait a little more, but then I get worried about the possible transaction.
Doll Plans
Well, but not all are bad news. I have a lot of things I want to do, and projects I want to make, so here is a list! Let's see how many of them I accomplish:For Cookie and Merry:
- New outfits for both, with a blue and red fabric hubby got me last year. I want to photograph them in my mom's crystal jars, with glittery stars hanging. I don't have a clue of how this is going to end xD
- Some time ago, Fantasywoods and I were chatting about photo-stories, and came up with the idea of a joint story. I want to organize the things, and do it!
- I had another idea for a photo-story. But I need to make a tiny shelf out of wood sticks I can collect from a near park. However, the difficult part will be to do the other props: I need tiny bottles and I don't know where I can get them... locally, no international purchases.
- I also have an idea for a photo-story with Merry. Another LoTR-related joke. I hope to do it soon!
For Calina:
- My mom has told me she wants to teach me to knit, starting with the regular knitting (not crochet). I have already bought some thread for this. I want to make Calina a cute outfit, with a Totoro sweater, and earmuffs following Fantasywoods's tutorial.
For Coco:
As always, several dresses projects!
- In 2013 or beginning of 2014 I made a little black dress for Coco. However, I have improved so much! I want to remake the dress and take similar shots to the ones I did before, to "compare" how much my skills have changed.
- I need to sew Taylor Swift's 2015 Grammy Awards dress for Coco! I won't go with shimmering fabric, but I love asymmetric dresses. Must sew.
- Regarding the knitting thing, I want to make another sweater for Coco, get some thin jean fabric, and make proper jeans for her (not jeggings), to go with a more casual but fashionable outfit for her.
- I also have my winter project: a lacy Regency dress, for which the hubby bought me a very expensive fabric.
Current Project
I have been actually doing a sewing commission! The request were two outfits for a LittleMonica Little Harmony boy. I have already completed one (I need to take finished photos with the suspenders done), and the other is around 70% done.You may know for now, but I have started sharing my WIPs on Instagram, so here are some of them!
So, this are my projects and my "state of the art" regarding my dolls. I do hope I can get my Bday present and post about it. I was so excited about finally getting it, that this communication delay has not helped me at all =S
Anyways, do you have any projects in your "to do" list? Or anything currently doing? Please, do share! And I hope you all have a perfect weekend :D
YAy I'm mentioned 2 times, I feel like a superstar XD!
ReplyDeleteLove your doll plans so much!!! It sucks when etsy sellers have bad communication, hope you get a response soon with a very good excuse in it, it's so hard to trust sellers who reply so late so I understand. I still hope you will get what you want :D
That lacy fabric is so gorgeous, can't wait to see that project, but I'm excited about evrything! I have many ideas I want to wait with my new dolls so I've been doing props and planning things :). I also want to buy better acrylics to do the lashes in my face ups so they look better.
Hope you have a great sunday!
Yay! Yes, I do hope they have a good excuse, I really don't know what happened. I do hope this clears out soon.
DeleteThe fabric is gorgeous, I know! I need some things for that dress (micro-tulle, beads and flowers), but I hope to make it. So many plans!
And for your dolls, I hope they arrive soon! *Merry and Cookie throws good-luck glitter* I'm sure you will be able to master the acrylics for the lashes!!
Hi Musume,
ReplyDeleteHope you get your birthday doll.
Looks like many of your projects are well underway. I have also been busy with projects, leaving little time for photos or blogging.
Hugs,

Hi there! The present is not a doll, but something for Coco. Although the new FL hippogrifftaurs left me literally dreaming about them xD
DeleteI hope you share some of those projects too!
Good luck with the birthday present, I hope things work out in the end and you get in contact with the seller!
ReplyDeleteYou have so many great projects going on/planned, can't wait to see everything :3 The joint story with Fantasywoods sounds like so much fun!
Thank you! I do hope I can work something off for my bday present. The seller hasn't still come back to me.
DeleteI hope to make all this plans, too!
Ohh, I wish you good luck with your B-day gift~ I do hope you can get it on time!
ReplyDeleteAwesome projects, it's great to get commissions ~ Would you consider doing Pullip/Obitsu27 sized commissions in the future? :3
Thank you! I do hope I can get the present too.
DeleteRegarding commissions. If you mean crochet ones, yes. We have already even made some, actually, but they were for a local client. We only need some measures that depend on the clothing item. Regarding leather bags, yes, probably. We need to talk about it.
Sewing commissions, sadly no. I only sew for bodies I have (or can be lended, as my friend's LittleMonica boy, or the DollChateau Christina, and so on).
You really insured me to get cracking on my sewing! I want to improve more, so thanks so much for that! Your work is lovely! I hope you have a nice birthday, and things work out how you want. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is an honor to be an inspiration, thank you so much!!
DeleteMy bday is still far away (August) but due to this hobby's waiting times, I wanted to order the present ahead of time, to see if it will arrive timely :D
Oh I totally get that! I'm the same way. Even ordering when I have the funds, and not necessarily in line with the holiday or date! :P
