My Blythe itch seems to take about 2 or 3 months to resurface after adding a new doll to the family.
The addition of these dolls would make my perfect Blythe family, not too big not too small.

In no particular order:


#1} is a Raven haired Kenner (of course, I'm sure every Blythe fan's dream). She would be my Wednesday Addams girl and occasional mini me :D


#2} ADG Pleasant Peasant. I would love a blonde girl, to dress up girly, wear pink and bake cupcakes. I'd go for ADG to complete the collection, I have a CCE so thought it would be interesting.


#3} Dear Lele Girl. I just love her to bits! She is so beautiful, I love her stock, she'd fit in well with Forest and Mervin and I just love her crafty story and aesthetic.


#4} Gentle River. AAAAAAARG! She is just too beautiful for words. Before I even owned a Blythe I wanted her. I love that she is a beauty competition winner, designed by fans :D Everything about her is perfect, her face, hair, stock, box, story, name, just everything.

Thankfully no new Blythes are tickling my fancy, just for fun I would add Precocious Candy's Mush Room to the list as I love her hair, box, story and outfit. But Pixie is enough red head for now lol.

I finished customising the Barbie carry case I bought for 50p a while ago. I bought some Plasticote clear sealant to finish the red spray paint with. What a waste of time, I promptly scratched it. I'm sure it was sturdy enough before the sealant.

I love the "I play with dolls" decal though, I want to stick them on everything :D

I plan on making a liner for it, like a sleeping bag to protect the dolls, it fits 3 :D I'd also like to make little drawers to put in the storage compartments so that all the stuff doesn't fall out when you open it. But for now it looks good from the outside :D

Pixie is posing for size comparison.

Today is my Birthday :D so I am off to indulge myself in some dolly dressmaking.

Freya

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.

Today's car boot finds

Stuff for the girls, originally uploaded by Gypsywildflower and NaughtyPixie.

I am mad on car boot sales.
I collect just about every toy from the 80's and go mad at car boot sales.
My house is next door to a car boot sale (that is one reason we bought it, that and walking distance from a pub lol.)
I even joke that we bought the house at a carboot sale because we saw the sale bought after being at that car boot.

So £1.35 later and this is what I came home with today for my girls :D Take a look at my flickr for the 80's toy goodness I found.

Last week I got a bath and a side table thing for them (also see Flickr). I am really looking for a house now, I still cringe when I think of the vintage Sindy one for £5 that I turned down last year :*( because of Space. If only I had Blythe then.

Today's shop updated.
