Thank You

I'm so grateful to hear a nice compliment on the little baby doll dress from my friend. And of course, I'm always so thankful for the wonderful words from my lovely fans. Every word counts, especially when recently I've been bully by the same doll dressmaker again, pounding on my sewing and even on my paintings. That's totally unfair. It was hard to believe that such hurtful words could come from the person once I admired.
But the most important thing is, I want to tell whoever got bully before out there, keep on doing what you love. That is the advice from my dear friend. Thank you so much again. =)
Back to the feature, this week is the little green vintage style plaid baby doll.

Happy Thursday! =)

The Habit

Instead of In-N-Out, we went to this recently open burger place called The Habit. It was a present clean little place with an atmosphere between a fast food place and a diner. There were quite a few choices on the menu and prices were reasonable. It was our first time, of course we needed to try out their Charburgers. We couldn't resist and ordered a milk shake and onion rings too.
The basic Charburger comes with a juicy charbroiled patty with mayo, pickle, tomato, shredded lettuce, caramelized onions on a fat toasted bun. I added cheese on mine and it was gooood!! The fries and onion rings are so crispy and delicious. I love it when they are golden (not a big fan of the 'dark fries' when the fries are made with old reuse oil). The milk shake was good too, very creamy and not too sweet.
I would definitely recommend this place whenever you come to California.
Happy Tuesday! =)

Feature of the Week

I've been having so much fun making the little baby doll dresses. They are truly the happy dress. This week's feature is a special dress resembles my favourite childhood dress. It was the softest dress I had as I remember. I loved its elastic smocking bodice because I could slip right into it, when button up and tying lace wasn't my favourite things at that time.It is too bad that I haven't learned smocking yet, so I replaced the little bodice with fine muslin and vintage beads. It is still a very special dress. =)
Happy Thursday!

Learning to Pose

It has been while since I wanted to get a Momoko Doll. And finally, it comes to the day to open the Kana Momoko. She has gorgeous curly hair and natural makeup. Her stylish punk outfits are awesome and perfectly made. Those high-heel Mary Janes are my favourites. Here is a photo in her stock outfits.
As she is so posable, I'm still learning to pose her, especially her arms and legs.
Close ups are always nice.Happy Wednesday! =)

Pattern Obesession

It's a closeup of our armchair. Somehow I've always been attracted to pattern since I was small, especially checker and plaid. So it wouldn't be surprise to see it everywhere at our home.
Check place mat and washcloth is almost a must.You can count on me for those checker shirts, bags and the classic Scottish plaid skirts. I love these Converse, even though they are pretty much retired.Of course, Puchi's bed too.And now, it is extending to my doll clothes.
Happy Thursday!

Unwrap

All these years, we've been keeping our treasures (= toys) safe and sound in wrappers and boxes and so as a lot of the other stuff too. Finally, it's time to unwrap and lay them out! =)
First is the beautiful Ice Rune Blythe doll. It took quite a bit of time to figure out the whole outfit and it was fun.My favourite lovely mini version of the sphere chair. Those tiny pair of shade are awesome!
These wonderful tools finally found a home. It's so nice to have a desk with a drawer.Hmm.. yumm.. my favourite lunch.
Happy Tuesday! =)

Feature of the Week

This week we continue our baby doll journey as we detour to a vintage child approach. It is simple, cute and elegant at the same time. The little dress is crafted of lovely navy fabric with tiny white polka and muslin. It is embellished with pintuck details and vintage beads at bodice and finished up with natural white lace at bottom.
Happy Thursday! =)
