OhDeer Helmets & Poofy Pants...

...  handsewn pants and crochet helmet for

The Bugs.

I made these sets to celebrate the upcoming arrival of 'your' Bug(s). :)

More sets to come -also bright colours- and soon on the E-place.

Poofy Pants are handsewn in high quality cotton fabric (Liberty of London).  Helmets are done in Egyptian shiny Cotton and have handsculpted polymere antlers, chinstrap with loop and bead for closure.

Thanks for looking!

Poofy Pants...

... and Helmets... none of these are 'finished'... I have to add 'stuff' to create the final 'look' but most of the work is done.  These are made for the Bugs and their siblings and I will put up lots of bright colours and some subtile colours too. :)

I will post more pictures and details soon.

My hand and wrist are much better. Still a little stiff and some movements are more difficult than others but overall I'm happy.  I can sew again... I can do most of my work in the house... the wound is ALMOST healed and the numbness and tingling are COMPLETELY gone... 

Life is good!

Look what happened.

You adopt a Pong, because you need a tad of happiness as a balance for all the grumpyness in your doll family.  You close your eyes for JUST a moment... and... look what happens. She invites her friends!!!!

BonBon(ChocoPuki Piki), Missy(Puki Lily) OmNom(Puki Pong) and Kizzy(sleeping Lily)

While I was taking this picture, my postman delivered another one, YAY!  This time I ordered directly from Fairyland on october 22nd, and she's already here.  Now I have to find someone to paint her and her sleeping face. :)

The pain is a little less, but still there.  I tried to sew a little but as I also suffer from CTS, I couldn't hold the needle, it's just too thin to hold. But I made a few Baldie Helmets, I can handle an ergonomic crochet hook for about 10 minutes.  Better than nothing!

Agnes & Marilla, the 21 Twins.

I made these to replace 2 sets of the october 2nd shop update, that were possible LIA.  This is the first time in 10 years of sending parcels to everywhere in the world, that something is missing.  The sets might still show up but to keep my highly appreciated and respected customers happy is rule number 1 in my book.  So I hope these will do. :)

Marilla and Agnes were happy to model the sets. I think. ;)

Dear Deer Helmet for a P-Girl. (For L&L)

Despite I'm in pain due to 'overdoing it' the last few days, I can't help it... I can not just sit there and do 'nothing'.  So... a certain little girl requested her own Dear Deer Helmet and I couldn't let her down, could I.

Baldies.

Recently I've bought a bunch of Puki wigs.  All trial and errors.  I think I bought 5 or 6 wigs to throw in the bin, and I'm not kidding.  I can't believe people keep selling wigs that are useless and there's no one complaining about it in the open.  Most of those bin-wigs I bought on the *Bay.  The pictures 'they' are using are cute, the wigs on de dolls look fine... but if you try them on YOUR doll, -that happens to be the same doll they are using in their auction pictures- it's a totally different thing. Plain crap, pardon my french. You might as well throw your money in the bin and save all the trouble.

On a more positive note... I've managed to buy 5 excellent, beautiful, cute little Puki wigs, secondhand from Flickr members. YAY!  Really good quality and pretty little wigs with an excellent fit, so I'm happy. But. Oh dear... here's a but.  I love my Pukis BALD in their little crochet hats or with a headband. I wrote it before... I'm crazy, I really am. But who could resist this cute little baldie. Right! No question mark.

Bug Hats Galore!

These Bug Hats will go on Etsy on sunday november 6th at 8pm CET.

Please check your local time here

All hats are the same, the same pattern, the same amount of tiny stitches, the same quality of cotton thread, they each have a tiny heart shaped button.

See second picture mosaïc, it's the same apple green hat in each shot:

you can pull it tighter over the ears, tie it in front, tie it in the back, manipulate the little antennas... and so on.  So... all different looks depending on how you use it.

One hat, so many different looks. 

Eh... okay Frankie, we all got it, thank you. :o

Bug Hat Caterpillar. ;-)

Gotcha!

Some quick pictures for reference.  I think they look cute together, no?! =:3

Strange.

Something very strange is going on.  I'd planned my bugs to be girls.  I bought them each 2 wigs, a bunch of shoes and I was planning on sewing girly girl clothes for them.  Now here's this weird thing; for some odd reason I simply can not put a wig on them, it's just not right to me.  I see owner pictures on Flickr of sweet Enyo girls with pink wigs and whatnot... and they are beautiful and cute... but my little critters won't let me transform them into either girls.... nor boys.

 They are beautiful and cute and adorable and amazing little... bugs. And they don't want hair at this moment.  For the very same reason I can not picture them with shoes,  I didn't even try to put shoes on, I just can't.  They are satisfied with their Poofy Rompers, their Bug Hats and of course Sloppy Socks to keep their little toes warm, NO shoes wanted and certainly not girly girl frilly clothes! :o

And what a Bug wants, a Bug gets.

ETA:

Thank you all SO much for your requests for Enyo clothes.  Your warm comments and support is very much appreciated, it's amazing that so many people like my sewing so much. 

I'm sewing when and what I can, I stitch everything by hand, so it takes some time to finish a set. (and I have to sew for P-dollies too, I can't just ignore them ;-)  )

So, please read my 'about my sewing' page and know that I'm really enjoying my sewing and I will go on as long as I'm able to.

Mini shop update will be in a week or so... (depending... you know) I will have some sets for P-girls and for 'Da Bugs.  

Again, I can't write it enough: thank you, thank you, thank you! =:3

Bugs in da House.

So.... yesterday I received these amazing little Enyo bugs. Let me start with the boxes they came in. I never saw them so beautiful, there was a lot of love and effort involved to create such pretty boxes, same goes for the cushions. Well done, Laura.

These little critters are super cute, their skintones are both beautiful, the white skin isn't too white and the fresh skin is very pale which I'm pleased with also.  The face ups are pretty, executed well, but very basic.  It's a pitty their ears weren't touched with a little colour.  I really thought they came with eyes, but well... I thought wrong.  On the one hand... it would be nice if there were eyes included in the price, on the other hand: if there were acrlylics involved I would have replaced them anyway.

The headcaps are possibly improved, because the first release had headcaps that were loose on the little heads and had to be attached with tape.  This time the headcaps stay on without help, you have to slide them in place.  What really bothers me is that the little ones are VERY floppy, but really really loose strung and a very thin elastic was used, I think for the amount of money they cost, they should have been strung better, came with eyes and a less basic face up.

But 'that said' and in general these dolls are beautiful, they have the most cute faces I've seen in a long long time. I ADORE them.
