Nearly finished NaughtyPixie's makeover.

She has 4 new sets of eye chips, large pupil pupaparadise from MyLittleCustoms.com with gradient foils.

Her new scalp is an RBL Simply Peppermint (Forest's old one :D) roote with Candy Apple Nylon from MLC also.

At the moment she is wearing a lip sticker but I'll eventually get round to re doing her faceup, it's a bit worn and faded right now.

The hair still needs some trimming and evening off now and again as it settles but over all I am happy with it.


I am also working on transforming this Barbie carry case that I got for 50p at a car boot sale.
I am spraying it red then going to add padding for the girls (it will fit 3) I also have something on the way to decorate the front :D I also want to make little drawers to go in the compartments so that the accessories don't fall out when it's opened up.




Something else in the works in an appliqued doll carrier, here are the fabrics I have gathered so far.
It will be themed, can you guess what?

I'm a bit behind on my dress making and shop updates.
I got the last fabric for the new collection so I can crack on with that hopefully finishing this week.
I'd love to be like some of the big Blythe names and set a time to list in the shop and have everyone pounce on them lol, maybe one day.
Have a great weekend, we are hosting a BBQ for our friends Birthday today so I had better go and wash the spraypaint off my fingers.

Spot the difference.

My new labels arrived.
They were WRONG!! Oh no! Had I slipped and typed in the wrong font selection, had I left it on default and rushed the order.
No I checked the order confirmation and all was in order.
I called up the company and he didn't even bat an eyelid. The correct replacements arrived quickly, which was good as I had waited a few weeks for the original order to come through.

I love my labels and woven labels UK usually do a good job, I've ordered quite a few things from them for various different projects.

They didn't want the wrong labels back so now I have labels for back up and personal projects :D


The labels were inspired by this fabric, I love the red on the cream and of course the stitching print. You may have noticed this fabric has also featured in my banner.

It will also feature in the next collection and has greatly influenced the whole theme of the collection (the dress above isn't one of them, I was just being narcissistic and blazened the label on the front of the dress for my own amusement).

Today's shop update.

Another pigging bird dress. I know, with sales and marketing skills like this I should go on the Apprentice.

Only four left to go. I've printed and sewn on the braid so there's no backing out now lol.

Have a great weekend folks, not sure if I'll have a post for you tomorrow, but you can be sure of a shop update! :D

I shall be locked inside my house on a two day Gillian Mckeith detox as I have an apron instead of a tummy now.

Another day another dress.

Two new dresses in the shop today.

I finally got round to finishing this Tea Cup print dress I've had cut out for a month or so lol.

Here is the first of the last nine "Ornithology Collection" dresses.

They have longer bodices and longer fuller skirts than the other dresses and different design and colour combinations as they all do.

One down Eight to go!! Then I can start on my new set of dresses! Well, I've already made one lol but I can get really stuck into designing the combinations which I love!

Just a couple more fabrics to buy and some cute buttons to arrive from Etsy.

I love making dolly dresses, I can treat myself to some really expensive gorgeous braids and I only need 1 metre for 3 or 4 dresses worth!! BLISS!!

Have a great weekend folks, as per usual we'll be stealing some time in the garden :D Hopefully preparing the chicken coop!!!

Freya and NaughtyPixie.

Last week's car boot bargains.

Vintage Sindy boots from the sale next door for 50p a pair.
I was so pleased to find them and was rummaging round the tub trying to find a nice clean pair of white ones that I didn't notice that I had got an odd pair lol. The boot on the left is larger lol.
I left one boot in the tub, boo.

I had a great day at the car boot sales on Sunday. I went to two and I'm so pleased as I nearly didn't go to the second one :D


I got the Pedigree Sindy Greenhouse and a couple of accessories from the Funtime Sindy Country Garden set! I am soo pleased with this as I stumbled accross it on Ebay one day when looking for Blythe things and totally fell in love with it for NaughtyPixie, she loves gardening :D





It still has the pond/rockery and a watering can. I haggled with the lady to get the dresser thrown in free as it was the last of my money and late in the day. It also came with two plastic play mat things and some cardboard garden back drops but they don't appear to be from the same set.

Still haven't taken piccies of the vintage sindy boots I got at last weeks carboot sales!
