Well It's Done Now!

After trying so hard to be good and not order any new dolls, I've gone and done it . . . yes, the temptation got the better of me and I ordered these two little girls this morning.

Efreet (on the left) will be known as Ebony and Elin (on the right) will be known as Ivory, and will be just the perfect sisters for Harmony. Both girls are BID's from IpleHouse.

I was a little undecided about whether to order their outfits or make them, but IpleHouse do such a great job of them, I figured I may as well go the whole hog.

However, I didn't order the shoes or stockings as I already have black shoes and striped stockings put aside for all three of them. Now, I'm hoping and praying that the ensemble I have designed for Harmony goes to plan and works well with the two IH sets . . . fingers crossed.

I think Lady Luck must have been sitting on my shoulder lately, as I somehow managed to have some really good sales on eBay and Etsy, just in time to finance the order before the event cut off date. So a heartfelt "Thank You" to all my lovely customers for buying up big. :)

A Tidy Find

I was sorting out a few things the other day, when I came across this huge ball of Moda Vera knitting yarn, it no longer had a label on it so had no idea of the composition of it. As it is a little hairy, I'm thinking it may be an acrylic/mohair blend, but whatever it is, I thought it was pretty and it inspired me to knit something for a change.

The colour of the yarn blends from one to another throughout the ball, creating individual sets. I didn't have a pattern and wasn't sure of the size needles to use, so it was really hit and miss, but it knits up quite well.

I am happy with the results and have already put the first hat & scarf set I knitted on Etsy for just AU$12 the set plus postage. The one above I will list if the first one creates interest.

I might try making up a different style hat next time, but I shall write this pattern down before I forget what I did. I think it really suits my Angelique, and will fit LittleFees, IH BID's, Luts Honey Delfs and probably other 6 to 7 inch heads.

New Arrivals

Today I have been very lucky to have received my two IpleHouse girls. I'm thrilled they arrived in time to put under the Christmas tree, but I couldn't wait till then to get a sneak peek at them in their stock clothing, after all I have been waiting almost three months for them to be made and that is long enough in my book!

This is my first BID (her stock name is Chloe) but I have already plans for her and she will known as Harmony.

My second KID (Lonnie) looks lovely as she is, but only time will tell who she will become.
