Xaya's Book of Dolls

I haven't really taken much pictures of this boy, which is a shame since he is so handsome. I love Kyle mold, and AyS series make up is eyecandy. =3=



( More Miio? )

I had a little photoshoot yesterday, even tough the light of the day went away becouse I had to wait until the battery was charged again. >__> I was so pissed when I noticed it was almost empty. I had carried all the dolls in the bedroom and made all the things ready, the background and such when I noticed the thing with battery. xP When I finally got the batteries charged I begin the shoot. I took few photoes from Gabriel and when I added Tiffany to the shoot, they were standing, in my opinion, very sturdly on the ground... until I guess I nudged the table just a little bit with the camera stand. They flew right on their faces from the table to the floor and Gabriel's pinky finger from his right hand flew even further. >__> He is back from 2006 so the hands might be difficult to replace with new ones.. I'm sure nobody would've wanted to be in here while I was swearing worse than I've ever had before. I'm lucky I know some magical people who helped me with this, a friend is glueing the pinky back to the hand. I swore some time and then continued so you will have few pictures.


Mikiko got a new shirt. She is such a cutie!

( Have some more? )

This month, Tobias has been with me for four years. It is amazing how fast the time goes when you're in great company. ^-^ He is such a little cutie, I love him very much. He is still the little doll who stole my heart at the first place when I started to be interested in dolls.



( Another one in the cut )

I also ordered some hands and one pair of shoes from Angelregion (which obviously has been Soomed?). It worked quite nicely even tough the shipping was really .. big for some pairs of hands and one pair of shoes. O__o''' Anyway, I wanted the hands since I missed them last time. The pray-hands still weren't in stock but maybe they will restock them someday. I hope these will match to the misty rose girls and white guys and gals. The shoes will propably go to Áron, I'm not sure... Or to Neo, not sure about that either but Neo kinda feels like a boy who would be more comfortable in converses or somtehing.

I sew the robe for Death from really ... not very nice fabric, I think it was somekinda polyester, which I hate but I didn't want to make anything too nice since it is once a year costume. :P I might make Grey a better robe later tough since I did like the pattern. Fabric just wasn't the best one.

Is offering some "tarts" at their limited banner... I smell trouble. :P I hope there will not be Olive or May V. -__-


EDIT/ I think I don't bother to make new entry to "Who stole the tarts?"-limited series Bluefairies. Surprisingly, I don't like Kyle that much, Patrick/Patricia are really looking nice in here. Like them a lot more than the official pictures in BF site. Xiao looks really cute, I like her faceup with red wig and fullblossom body. Xiao is sold with Pocketfairy Jimmy, I think they look both really cute. I'm just glad none of these make me want them. Yet anyway. :P I have a soft spot with Xiao, but I don't think this is the right white one for me. ^^ I can wait for more suitable white one. All the clothes are really lovely.

* * * * * *


I already commissioned somebody to make a wig for mah little Tommy boy. =3= He shall be blonde boy. Soooo cute.

Someone in DoA requested a picture from Xiao version and since I have two so...


Emma and Jaya. ^^ They are both so cute.

( Read more )

She came home yesterday. ^^ She is so lovely! I couldn't be happier having her. *3*

( Few pictures )

This is Emma (NS Xiao). I do think that the bangs on her wig disturbed me to the never end. I just can't live with that. So, she got a new wig now.

Since this wig is really fuzzy, I decided that she would need to have somekinda pins or something to make it a bit more neat. ^^ Not that she wouldn't look cute with fuzzy hair but I thought this would suit her better.

( A picture )

People are propably sick already about me posting pictures from dolls arriving. xP Sorry.

( The rest here )

I finally decided she needed some new clothes so I really got into it. I had high goal which I failed but anyhoo. :P Here is Pippuri.

( New clothes )

He was clearly craving for some tightest of tight fake leather pants of doom! And, as I'm very nice doll owner, I just had to make him them. ^^

I had my doubts about fake leather but it was really nice and quick to sew and man! how easy are the eyelets to put on that material! *Is in awe!* The string is made of some linen I think, I'm not sure what it is but it's not wool I'm sure. I might change the string later but I kinda like when the materials are different.


I really need to make him a shirt and such also, but I just love how he looks with the pants!

( Two more )

Just ten minutes after I sighed at the HL irc channel that my Dali didn't come today since it was in the "delivering" at the Itella tracking site.. Our doorbell rang and whee there was the postman with my parcel! ^w^ I made a little story again, with Armi and Grey.


Armi: You know what?
Grey: .. What?

I made a Kimono for Grey, doh he does look really asian anyway, so why not. I had this really beautiful brokade silk for a long time and I thought it would look great on him. He still needs some more clothes, and will share this Kimono thing with Sheliak since it fits them both nicely. I used Undead Threads pattern for Kimono, lengtened hem and the arm lengt on the sleeve since my first try was way too short. I also made longer Obi, the one in the pattern was too short and wide.

Sorry for yellow inside pics, but I'll take better ones someday, outside preferred.

( Some ugly pics (tm) )

I do not like making face ups. I guess I've said that quite many times haven't I? I still wanted Grey to have a face, at least until I get an appointment with an artist. *sigh* He doesn't really have any lashes or details in his lips, his eyebrows are messy, but at least they are the shape I wanted. I kept the birth mark under the right eye but I'm most certainly going to ask if it could be removed since it was really difficult to put any colour on. It's just a little slippery spot and colour doesn't stick into it at all. :P His hooves and some of the leg hair was painted too. He should have those grey horse's round circling markings up until his bottom but I didn't make them here. Maybe later. :P Maybe not. I couldn't concentrate enough to take any better pics but these'll do until he has his own hair and some clothes.

( Grey )

I have crossposted this to everywhere, sorry about that. But I just love Armi. <3 She needs her pony!


Armi: Tralalaaaa I got a piiiink pooonyyyyyyyy...

( Rest of the story )

Wheee ^^ We had a fun day today. We went to visit Suomenlinna (fortress? castle? What ever! x3) and I took Jaya with me. She has had way too little camera time for her and I thought she looked so cute in that Midsummer Nights Dreaming Xiao's and Lin's default dress I just had to! I haven't really taken that many pics from the dress either, but somehow, it looks better with Jaya.



( More pretty girl pictures )

I think the summer is the best time for meet ups. ^^ I like to meet people and just have a good conversation. Recently we've had few meets, but I only managed to get some pictures from our picnic meet in Hesperia park.


Here's Letizia's beautiful dreaming Soony. Soonyyyy!

( Picnic meet in Hesperia park )

( Other babble and few pics )

I also found this bike for my MSD sized dolls, like few years back actually. ^^; I just got to take pictures from it now. It is kinda rough and not very pretty but the tires are rubber and it really works like a real bike. Tobias might be a little short for it but he looked really cute riding it.



( I want to ride my bike )

As I've said in several posts I visited my parents back at Kainuu. I found some of my old toys, including these velvety surfaced horses. They're just the perfect size for Pippuri and I took some pics from them with her. Some of the velvet has worn off since we played with them quite much but I really didn't think about that when I took these pics. Black horse has his hooves completely without the velvet, usually we would have painted that again with marker and continue playing. ^^

If there is one person or more on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.


Yay! ^w^ Cake for everybody!~

A while back I bought some very thin georgette silks (and one polyester, I think). Gah the fabrics were so nice! I bought grey based printed georgette and warm grey one, and some yellow with flowers and some pale yellowish, I think it was natural white. Gosh it is difficult to sew! >__> I used all yesterday to sew Tiffany a dress and didn't get the hem sewed this morning. I screw it up three times and finally I was crying about it going all wrong and that the dress was looking short bitch dress instead what I really wanted was a cute, elegant dress. ;__;

I was so desappointed about it! -___- Finally, after I cried for it enough, I decided to take the damn thing apart again. I did like how the top was even if the draping of it was a bit of a accident, happy one this time since I liked how it looked, so I didn't want to just waste it.

( The top part of dress on Tiffany )

So, after I calmed down I sewed it all together again, took it apart since the hem of the lining was too long, sew the hem of the lining and then sew it together again. My sewing machine was being a real bitch, I had to re-thread it three times until it wanted to work the way I wanted. That bastardo. Then I took these pictures.

( Finished dress )

Not quite elegant enough that I'd hope for, but I do like how it turned out. After these pictures I sew the snaps and ironed it AND took some fabric in from the sides, I wanted to show her figure just a little bit more. I think when I make some more dresses, I'll do that before I sew the dress part to the bodice. I'm also planning some dresses from the horrendously expensive thin grey (it cost 19.90€ per metre, while the others were like 9€ max)... with some black lace it will look droolable. I'm also planning to make those things for my MSD girls too. I might use the printed grey too, dunno yet. But after those, I'll get to work with the yellow one. ^^ I should've bought the light blue too, it would've been beautiful on Aki. Mikiko will have the yellow dress I think. :3

Ah, forgot to tell; Mikiko and Fleur got awesome face ups from qkuu and I'm so exited to get them both home. I did some eye-swapping too and now I have few pairs of eyes waiting for Fleur and Bijou when they both come home. Bijou also got lovely faceup from strawberryresin, I just can't wait for getting my girls home! They'd need some bodies during the summer, I think. Depends from few things I guess.

My boyfriend is making a house for my tiny Elfdoll girl, whom I named Pippuri. Pippuri = Pepper, for some reason I wanted to keep her name in finnish form, and I wanted to name her after some spice. I'm happy he is interested in building the house so I'll be able to fill it with things. ^-^ <3

Side note; no news from Heliot or Amber yet. I paid my Heliot in the beginning of last month and this was actually the first time ever I asked anything about him from Soom. ^^; I'm not expecting him to come home until august since I paid so late. We'll see what they will answer. Just curious since I saw some hooves and Heliot head live while back. :P
