Sewing!

I bought a mini sewing machine off Trademe a couple of weeks ago! I've been busy making some clothes for my Blybe doll who is still without a name. I've already got names ready for the next two Blybes I get...Lily is coming in the post as we speak and Natia will be bought later on when I find the wig I want for her. Lily originally has pink hair, but she's getting a really cute blondey browny wig from Ebay. Originally my first Blybe was going to have a wig and probably get called Natia or Lily but then I really liked her with black hair so i'm keeping her like that.
Lily is named after Lily from "Lily and the vacuum cleaner" which is a book Natalie loves. She's so cute when she try to get her tounge around the word Lily! Anyway, when I saw that wig I thought it was so cute on its model Blythe and looked like Natalie.
Natia's wig is proving harder to find. There are not a lot of redhead wigs, and none in the right style. Natia is a character I had on Dragon Age, she was so cool and I love her name. It's Polish for Hope. Here she is:



So I need a short red haired wig with a side part. I might have to end up making my own one. Or getting another cute redhead wig.

While we are on the subject of Dragon Age (which is a really good game and pretty much almost as good as Oblivion maybe better...)I made a Morrigan outfit for the yet to be named Blybe. Here she is modelling it...

Clothes bought off Ebay


My first attempt at sewing a Blythe Dress.

Buy Buy Buy!

Well lately I've been having fun spending up on Trademe and ebay....now I just have to wait for all my goods to arrive!
Some of the sellers (in Asia) are on holiday for a bit because it's Chinese New Year (year of the rabbit) and therefore posting the items will be a bit delayed. Theres a Lantern festival in Albert Park coming up that is there every year and which is supposed to be quite good. I might go along to it for a look.

This weeks spend ups include: Clothes for Blybe (tights, dress, top, hat), a Blybe sized camera, a mini sewing machine (I cant wait to start sewing again, I haven't done it for years!) and a Lonely Planet book on all the best places/experiences in the world. It's a really good book, I got it out from the library once and decided I really had to own a copy.

Blybie still doesn't have a name....I just cant think of one that suits her. I decided that I definitely have to get some more Blybes/Blythes...a red head one called Natia because I love that name since Natia was my cute little red head dwarf girl on Dragon Age. The other one would be called Lilly and I would buy it this wig I found on ebay which is blondey-brown. It reminds me of Natalie, my niece. Natalie loves a book called 'Lilly and the vacuum cleaner' and always wanders around saying Lilly!

Yet to be named Blybe had a bit of a makeover the other day. I found some fake human eyelashes at the $2 shop and add those onto her for longer lashes. I added black eyeshadow around her eyes and got rid of the lipstick and blusher the previous owner had put on her. The new lipstick is dark pink and is nail polish! I may redo it though, as its a bit lumpy. I'm not sure yet if she's going to have blusher.

I discovered a really good online craft shop with all sorts of neat things for sale made by different people. There are a lot of home made Blythe clothes there which are quite unique, as well as lots of other cool things.

I think i'll be spending up large there....
