Hi everyone.
I’ve been working on Nahh-aahto’s face up to make her a self-p doll.

It wasn’t as easy as I thought. Or should I say it was more complicated than I thought?
First issue was the head was made of vinyl instead of resin which the other pullip doll’s head are made off. So this means its more prone to disasters during the sanding phase.

I’ve had to re-do the whole thing 5 times before I came up with an acceptable result.

At one point I just wanted to find a replacement head but that’s not possible because that would mean buying a new doll. Agh!
After much agonizing I settled for…

I cut down my old reading glasses and adjusted it to fit her. Thanks to my trusty old dremmel stylus and John who gave it to me for Christmas.
I’m not closing the door yet on this though. I may or may not tinker with her face again. I just need to let my nerves recover from all the stress then I can be calm enough to make an objective decision. LOL!
So I’m off to other mollying for now.
Happiness!

My tow other Pullip dolls arrived yesterday. I was happy and relieved to pick them up from the post office.

Here’s the girls for their first photo together…

Oona was happy to see her younger sister, Anouk at last.
Maya’s initial make-over…

I changed her wig and got her into a new dress and shoes.
I’m working on her face at the moment and her eye chips.
Will post more photos after.
Hope your all having a good Holloween, everyone!
Happiness!

My laptop wouldn’t turn on yesterday. I had more time to sew because of that and only got it repaired today.
Here’s what I’ve finished so far…

Frog Prince Tunic set. Available on etsy.

Frog Prince Jammies, available on etsy.
Sewing helped steady my nerves from fraying the last two days. I never realized how dependent I am on my computer. Its like my gateway to the world and I felt isolated without it.
I’ve gotten a jump start on sewing stuff I wanted to do so its turned out for the better.

Hi everyone. I finished making the doll carrier for Taeyang dolls
Here are details shots of the closure…

Available in my etsy shop now.

Its the same basic construction as The Cocoon (TM) for Pullips/ Blythes or Dal dolls but longer in length to accommodate the longer legs of the Taeyang dolls.

Now the boys don’t have to be wrapped in towel anymore. You can now carry them in the safety of The Cocoon without worrying about protecting their precious limbs.

After finishing the lining of the cheap coffin shaped bag and turning it into a doll carrier bag, I realized that the straps and ties aren’t enough to protect the dolls from the wear and tear of being transported around in such a flimsy bag. I decided to make a cocoon sleeping bag type carrier to address this issue.
I never realized what an enormous task it is to make a sleeping bag. That I was making it at 1/6th scale made it even more difficult.
First there was the zipper installation. It has always been my least favorite task in sewing but I was determine to finishing what I started so I pressed on. After I turned out the pieces I realized I had sewn it wrong side out. I agonized whether I was going to re-do it or abandon production. I decided to finish it and figure out the solution later.
Zipping it closed wasn’t much of an issue. Unzipping it was. I needed a way to be able to unzip it once its closed. Here’s the solution I cam up with. I installed a grommet on the other end of the zipper and strung the zipper pull with string so it could be pulled open from the outside. It worked! Here it is after hours of figuring out how to zip and unzip it.
Here it is after I figured out the solution…

Now I can carry my dolls using any bag that was big enough. I won’t need to bring the coffin bag when I’m only bringing one doll.
I made two more today. Here they are ready to go on my etsy shop…

I had my first doll meet tonight. I’m still waiting for the photos. I forgot to bring my camera so Joanna took photos and will send me some.
I also bought Oona an orange wig. Chayenne made it and put it on her tonight.
Here’s she is excited to model it when we got home…

I think I’ll keep her hair this way. The shade matches her eyebrows and her eyeliner color.

I’ve been sewing today.

She can’t wait to try on her new outfit.

Here she is with her two new friends.

Here’s another take on the outfit, this time without the pantaloons and micro chucks instead.
There was a three hour power interruption…

but I managed to finish the outfit anyway.

I found this bag unlined and cheap in Divisoria. So I made this lining, reinforced it with card stock and straps.

I found her through a new friend and made a new friend when I met up with her foster mother today.
She came in this beautiful blue box with all her stock accessories and costume. Her foster mom gave me 3 new pairs of shoes and a blue wig. Thanks, Kaye!

Original Pullip Stock: Aquel
Here she is on my sewing table waiting tobe measured for a new outfit while Coraline looks on.

Modification: re-wig (Blue wig from Kaye Aguilar)
