Not a Doll Post

I made a stuffed doll and I can't find it to take a picture of it. So, here is some more rushnychok I digitized. In the last week, I've been able to do more digitizing than the last three years due to combinations of better software, better computer and new apps for my search engines. Gotta love technologies.

Back on the Chain Gang

Did I ever mention that Google Chrome screen cap is boss. Without it, I wouldn't been able to do what I'm doing offline. So, here is some more of the patterns I digitized from the Ukrainian rushnychok site. This is from the simple pattern section. Much like my other patterns from the site, it is labeled as it appears on the site.

An Idea

I was looking up some sewing posts in regards to converting a stuffed animals into a cute animal purse. Then, it  dawned on me that Build-A-Bear Workshop sells the plushie unstuffed and you have to get them to put stuffings in it. So, I wondered if they would let me buy it pre-stuffed, this way I can averted the usual struggle with the pre-existing stuffings not allowing enough space for a pouch.

The Matchmaker

This blog post is brought to you by a whole day of searching for some lost patterns. Fortunately, I remembered posting these patterns on the cross_stitch comm on LJ. So, from the resurrected memories of October 16, 2007. Here is the story of The Matchmaker. The story of The Matchmaker involves young genteel miss and a gentle scholar and their misadventures of falling in love. One of the series of misadventure involving the scholar's boss falling for the matchmaker.

The charts are in historically and theatrically correct Peking Opera makeups and outfits. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. These have to be my favorite patterns of all times. Oh, and these patterns are free, so click on the hyper link and enjoy the download from DMC.

New Wig

Trying out a new wig tonight, because it just arrived yesterday and I wasn't able to get hold of the box until today. It is copper blonde in color. I posted some previews earlier on my facebook and asked for concrits. Well, turned out the snow camo I was wearing was too distracting, so I redressed and redon the wig for another snap. This is what came out and everyone said that the wig looks fine on me. 

This is my first time going blonde. I think it's pretty good. I've been wanting to get some blonde wigs, and this was my first. Next one, I think I'll try a whiter/paler blonde. I have some Gabalnara wig that should be home with me soon. They messed up my last order, and didn't send one of my ponytail. So, I added a full wig to that order, so that it wouldn't be a waste of another delivery box. 

This is the Hizaki wig from 07 Wig on taobao. I can't wait for tomorrow's meetup. I'm charging my camera right now and I also need to get things together for the swap meet. First time, I'm getting rid of some of my things to get other things that I can use more.

I'm running a taobao wig group order atm, and it feels so exciting to be able to see what everyone else want to get. Along with the wig group order, I also got the Star Bag group order with Claudia, Ai, and Flora and my shoes for matching with the red Alice dress I'm ordering from Bodyline.

Aurora Ribbon

So, since early December last year, I've discovered an accessory series from Angelic Pretty that I've never knew about before.

It's called Aurora Ribbon. It comes with headband, barrette, necklace, ring and bracelet.

 I have the luck to acquire the bracelet literally days after acquiring the barrette and just a few days ago I acquired the necklace, with a little help from Christine, when she linked me to the sales post with it.

 Now, I'm on the hunt for the headband and the ring. Someone contacted me about being interested in selling the ring, so I'm crossing my fingers.

If the ring pans out, then all that I have to do is find the headband.
