How to make socks for your dolls ~ A free tutorial from Puppy52

Hi all!

It is no secret that I love Puppy52 :)

 

My dolls all belong to the Puppy club!

(A club that, to the best of my knowledge, doesn't actually exist except in my little made-up world)

Here is Alna wearing a Puppy52 button

And Pebble wearing a lovely Puppy52 coat!

Puppy52 is an extremely talented seamstress!

Well, Puppy52 has a little sock tutorial that, as GreenTea on flickr demonstrates with this pic:

you can adapt to even your smallest doll!

Friday was beginning to worry!

Left: Sunday, Middle: Janie, Right: Monday

Sunday: Hey guys, Friday's penpal finally got one of her letters.

Monday: Bout friggin time... if I had to listen to Friday moan about letters not arriving, one more time... well, let's just say someone was going to get her eyebrows plucked in her sleep.

Janie: Oh my! You wouldn't really... would you?

Sunday: You better believe she would... I'm going to go tell Friday about the letter.

Janie: 0_0

Sunday: *wanders over to where Friday is* Friday! There's a blog post you should read.

Friday: I doubt that. You have terrible taste in Internet humor.

Sunday: Wha?! No, you idiot, your penpal finally got one of your crappy letters. SHEESH.

 Please go HERE to check out Christie getting her letter!

(She's pretty darn funny!)

 

Friday: Ooooh! Christie hangs out with some hot mermen!

Friday: WOOHOO!!! *jettisons from chair* It made it, it made it, finally one of my letters made it! *dances around like a maniac*

Sunday: Hmm, do penpals really bring such joy? Maybe I should get one?

Janie: Oh my, this seems like an inappropriate amount of celebration! Simply too much noise!

Monday: If I kill her now, would anyone really blame me?

Tuesday: *sitting off to the side* They're all idiots, Danbo... all of them.

BONUS SHOT:

Janie: I feel like someone's watching me...

Buttons and Faeries

Nothing too major today, I'm still recouping from illness...
but I've listed a set of Pure Neemo related buttons in my etsy shop...
With more doll buttons to come:

I had leftovers from a con I did!

Also, a new creature has come to live here... but...

Who is it???

Tiny Handmade Purses

Hi everyone.

It's me, Kana.

I want to show off something Heather's been making.

Please tell me what you think!

These are available for purchase on Heather's etsy site here:

http://www.etsy.com/shop/LittleSqueed

Isn't this so cute?

They are tiny purses!

They are all entirely hand sewn, with working snap closures...

they really hold stuff!!!

And they have embroidery details on them too!

Ella loves them too, they are perfect to carry a tiny Clefairy and a pocket book... plus, what's that? Ella even has some change!

Here is a detail of the light green purse! Look at those cute tiny flowers!

Ella wanted to show you the snap too.

What's this?! Even Tuesday thinks they're stylish????

Hahaha, this picture makes me nervous -_-;;;

But Heather says it's necessary to show how the purses look with Blythe bodies.

The red purse is pretty cute too. :)

Anyways, thanks for stopping by!

Goodbye!

Not Quite Neemos

I apologize for the wait for an update!

It's me, Heather... the sickly one *coughcough*

Anyhow, today's update concerns some new girls here at the Majokko Shop.

You already know one of them:

Sunday is our Fashion Diva... she outdoes Samantha by a mile when it comes to being picky about clothes... and she's very fashionable in them :)

She is a Misaki doll, which, from what I gather, is the Japanese version of Fashion Royalty dolls... 

it's probably sinful that I don't know more about them, but I don't.

I just know that I like them.

So if anyone wants to wax-poetic on them, please do!

Next up...

Friday may not look it, but she's absolutely the sweetheart of the group... she has a fun streak and loves doing silly things with the Neemos... in fact, I suspect she prefers their company to some of the Misaki's company... although she is best friends with Sunday.

Friday is a Misaki doll.

Next:

Ahh, how do I say this nicely? There's a reason she's named Monday... and that's because she is a bee-otch! She's snooty, uncooperative, snippy, catty, all around just a mean girl. What made her this way? I'm not sure. She's beautiful and she knows it though. Perhaps it's just the spoiled life of the privileged? She is also a Misaki doll.

Tuesday is Sunday's younger sister. She has a soft, quiet personality and generally spends time on her own reading, or doing other solitary activities.

She very much likes Kawaii and Lolita fashions.

She is also a Misaki doll.

 Finally there is Kyori. What can I say about her? She just got here today, and she is NOT amused. She is my first ever Fashion Royalty doll, and she is VERY full of attitude... which is amazing, since I thought the Misaki dolls were already overflowing with it!

Kyori is actually her Fashion Royalty default name, but it just seems to fit her so well, that she's keeping it (kind of like Madoka! hehe)

I'm sure she'll tell me more about her as time goes on, but for right now, she just seems really annoyed with me!

 Sam here.

It's time to talk business.

Serious business.

HAT business.

You know me, I'm a fashion diva, and a picky one at that. If the clothing is shoddy, I'm not going to wear it, and I'm not going to let my fellow Neemos wear it.

So, when I found

One Sixth Sense on etsy, click HERE to go to her shop!

Also, check out the One Sixth Sense website HERE
to see all of the other really awesome work done by OSS, as well as more fashion!

 I wondered at the quality, but,

upon closer inspection of the photographs, the hats looked really well made, and they were REALLY cute, so I took the plunge and ordered two for my fellow Neemos.

They arrived within days of ordering them, in little baggies with business cards... and here is what ensued:

Prue: Oh hi! Sam and Heather ordered us these AWESOME hats! This one was for me... they said something about me having monkey brains and always swinging from the rafters... but I have no idea what they're talking about... the other one we gave to Kana, because it looks SO cute on her!!!!

Mine is a SOCK MONKEY

Kana's is an OWL

Kana: Oh, oh hi... *blush* I really love my owl hat, Miss Dawn, thank you!

Prue: Here is the business card that came with our hats. Pretty nifty, huh? There are some really pretty girls on this card. The creator of the hats is named Dawn Anderson, and she is just the SWEETEST, fastest working person ever! She was super nice about all of Samantha and Heather's questions... and Heather can have a LOT of annoying questions. Especially when she thinks you might have eaten all of the last of the Girl Scout cookies. WHICH I DIDN'T!

Kana: *ahem* Prue, you're getting off topic.

 Kana: *ponders* I think... right now... it's best to really focus on how cute and perfectly fitting these hats are for us Pure Neemos, and other 1/6th size dolls. The Barbies fit well into them too, and so did Sunday. We shouldn't be focused on who did, or did not eat the Girl Scout cookies.

 Kana: *in a photograph of epic cuteness* I mean, yes, whoever did eat the last of the Samoas, undoubtedly the BEST of all Girl Scout cookie flavors, with their coconut and caramely goodness, without stopping to ask if everyone had gotten some, was being very selfish indeed. *ponders even more wisely thanks to the wise owl hat from OSS*

And I'm sure that person will pay with their very guilty feelings. *nods*

 Prue: *thinks* OMG, she's so cute.

Kana: *thinks* Why won't she confess to eating the cookies???

Prue: Haha! Whose off topic now?? The POINT is, these hats are amazingly well crafted.

They also have some stretch and flexibility, so that they fit on our heads perfectly and don't come popping off! I can't recommend them highly enough... and the price is ABSOLUTELY right.

Here are a few photographs, ©OSS, of what's available in the store now.

[Stepping Out][Fluff N'Stuff] Hey Cavey!

Hey everyone!

Samantha: I just got this new Stardoll Accessory pack called Pretty n' Love!

It comes with two pairs of great shoes, these cute heart glasses, this rea....

Sunday: Hey. Sup?

Samantha: ... uh... who are you?

Sunday: Name's Sunday, and these clothes are mine. Why are you talking about them?

Samantha: What? This isn't yours! Heather bought this for the Neemos so we can have more shoes!

Sunday: Nope. Mine.

Samantha: No it's not! It's for us! FOR US!

Sunday: Sheesh, kid, calm down.

Samantha: Who are you calling "kid"?

Sunday: Listen, now... this is just an idea... but why don't you try talking about the shirt you're actually wearing, instead of my clothes?

Samantha: Huh?

Sunday: That shirt you're wearing. Looks special... you obviously got it from somewhere, right?

Samantha: Oh... yeah... it's a Blythe shirt from Hey Cavey! 

Hey Cavey usually comes out with a new shirt every year for Blythe-con! They have a new one for this year too... I think this one was from 2010? Maybe? I'm not exactly sure.

Pita: Did someone say Hey Cavey?!

Samantha: What are you doing here?

Pita: Bringing over a Cavey! I heard someone say "Hey Cavey!" so I brought one over!

Samantha: He's pretty cute... *pats the Cavey on the head*

Pita: He is, isn't he? And each one is limited... in small or medium or big runs depending on, uhm... stuff. A lot of stuff. Too much stuff for me to know about.

Sunday: Don't be daft. The short runs, the ones where there are 10 or fewer Cavey, these days tend to be ones where the artist, Holly, collaborates with another artist. Medium runs tend to be holiday releases or random releases on her site (although even those numbers have been getting bigger lately) and the bigger releases (where there are usually 100 in the run) are when Holly sells the Cavey through specific shops.

Pita: Oh... that makes sense... how do you know these things?

Sunday: Because that's what I am, Pumpernickel, someone who knows things.

Pita: Uh... it's Pita.

Pita: Anyways... See, Holly numbers each one by hand, this one was number 20 out of 50!

He was the Zingy Green Cavey!

If you'd like to see all the Cavey released so far, and what numbers they were released in, you can go here:  http://www.heycavey.com/releases/#!prettyPhoto[inline]/22/

She releases them pretty regularly... and has a nifty countdown for them when they're about to come out! You can currently still purchase a few of the Cavey at her shop!

Samantha: Oh! I almost forgot to mention! The shirt has velcro up the back, so it's very easy to get in and out of! No head or arm removal required!!

Pita: Awesome! Let's go check out the Hey Cavey! website, ok Sam? We can see the new shirt!

Samantha: Sounds good to me! Below is what the front page looks like... and the website is:

*Samantha and Pita head off to check out the website*

Sunday:: Finally... you're mine, all mine... precious clothing....

Looks like Samantha might have some solid competition for fashion diva 0_0
