22. Lola's Adventure in Wonderland

Lola and Domos had an adventure and explored the autumn leaves and playground behind the house the other day! I love this weather, and autumn is my favorite season. Plus, there's tons of leaves and wood-chips for Domos to use for fights. Silly Domos. More information on them later.

I also tried to crochet a Blythe dress, but the bodice came out too boxy.

I'm not too sure why. It could be because the yarn is stiff, or because I need less stitches for the underarms. I'll frog and figure it out, after Christmas gifts.

And I had an amazingly productive weekend, on the Blythe clothing front, so once I find some time to take some pictures I'll post those as well.

Poor dear abandoned blog. I'm sorry! School gets in the way, and I had a weird emotional week that had me out of things for a while, but all is good and back to normal now.

Christmas crafting time!

Mosaic Mondays: Coral by Four

20. Coral by Four, a photo by OnePinkHippo on Flickr.

This was an accident, but I really like how it came out! I just got around to uploading it today, though I made it on Monday so it still counts! I also just got around to putting all my pictures on Flickr.

Poor Zooey's still in pieces, and Coral hasn't had a decent photoshoot yet, but the weather is partly to blame for that. I have started a hoodie for her.

Hopefully I'll have more time this weekend to blog. I'm being swamped with readings, quizzes and tests for school.

And since it's October, that means I need to start Christmas gifts! I have everything planned out and all the yarn, I just need to get started.

More updates sooner rather than later!

Fun package for Coral from EssHaych! Blythe related items include: hangars, which I need to find a Barbie wardrobe or something, because I want to hang all her clothes up; an earflap hat that she wants to wear now; a Domo sweater!!; an adorable miniature letter from Zoe; a baby blue Eggbert to go with the pink one she sent me earlier; an Eggbert TLC kit, because the aforementioned pink Eggbert(a) has one leg left; and a miniature yarn basket! I need better pictures of it. There were also goodies for me in the form of candy and scented pens (yum!) and tons of Royal Wedding items for my mom, including a little teapot! Thanks dear! I'm working on getting one out to her by the end of the summer. I have a little stack of Blythe clothes on my sewing table.

The dress Coral is wearing is a Donutzie dress by the talented kimberlymunn on Etsy. Fabulous! It's a little donut! 

Recently I haven't even finished anything "human" sized. Everything is Blythe sized. It doesn't take long, maybe a night or two or crocheting, and that instant gratification is awesome. And I think it wakes up the little kid in me. :]  

Mosaic Mondays: Chocolate

15. Blythe Simply Chocolate, a photo by onepinkhippo on Flickr.

Celebrating Simply Chocolates this week, because Coral is getting a sister!! She's my prize for, once again, getting through a semester. This one has been tough, though it's only been 3 weeks, filed with a lot of migraines, depression, pure laziness, and even a panic attack. So she will be well received.

I don't have details or better pictures yet because she's my "yay, I survived finished another semester" present for myself, and the semester doesn't end until May. I really want to open her up and play, but I have to wait until at least the end of April.

Soon she will be formally introduced. Along with her miniature fabulous handmade-by-me wardrobe.

Mosaic Mondays: Woodchuck Machine

I really like photographing machinery and trucks and things, and I went for a walk earlier and this woodchuck machine was on the side of the road. 

There's just something oddly beautiful about rusty chains and locks and hooks and gears that I love. Maybe because it's not something that everyone takes pictures of. Sure, I love photographing flowers, as does everyone else, but how many people do you know see an "ugly" machine and then turn it into a work of art? 

Mosaic Mondays: Rainbows

Hello all, and welcome to the first installation of Mosaic Mondays! Each Monday will feature a mosaic and each mosaic will have a theme. Today's mosaic is rainbow. Enjoy.
