Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Miss Paulette is having fun all dressed up in her naughty schoolgirl dress and lock and key necklace. She got the right response with it too, as she has already attracted a naughty Bratz boy to go with the dress.

Harley is having a pout in her Christmas folklore dress and Christmas tree cardigan. I'll get some better pics of the sweater up soon. Nothing is in the shop as I missed the shipping deadlines for Christmas. Many apologies for that! I just couldn't get the lead out....

Happy Holidays to everybody!!!

Forest Slumber Dress

I scored a stack of yummy Japanese import fabrics from SuperBuzzy the other day and have gone wild with joy over them. This is the first goody to pop out of the shop. I just love all things mushroom, so it's right up my alley. And, my local JoAnn's store finally decided to stock this tiny pom pom trim that I've been drooling over for 2 years now. Yay!!!

This dress is all cotton with a one snap closure in the back. Both of the prints are Japanese import fabrics. Embroidered cotton trim and pom pom trim give the dress a sweet flare. Cotton heirloom batiste fabric is used on the sleeves and neck liner. Open seams have been fray checked for stability. Tiny bow detail.

Price: $36

70's Style shouchy hats

I remember these from the 70's. Donny Osmond wore them to death for awhile there. I never had one, my parents were very conservative, but I sure liked the look of them! I found a pattern online for a people sized one and cut it down to fit Blythe and then went mad for a day making them! What's that, you'd like the people sized one for yourself? Oh, O.K., it's right here!

Re-build!

I've been getting really antsy with the look of this blog and finally had to admit to myself last night that I must bite the bullet and customize the darn thing. Hopefully in the coming weeks I'll have worked out all the details and put up a totally new design. Since this is NOT my area of expertise, I'm a bit worked up over the nuts and bolts of it all. As you can see, I tried to give it a face-lift last night, but it's just not doing what I want it to do quite yet. Please bear with me while we're in construction. You may see several different looks while I mull over what I really want.

Here are a couple of the free designs I was looking at last night. Feel free to comment....

Uh, I just HATE pink too.... LOL!

Romancing the Petticoat

Wrap your girl in a little luv......

The Black and White Ball is in the mail!

I just got back from the postal orifice, so everything is shipped out! Many, many thanks to all you sweeties who bought a goodie! I hope you LOVE everything!!!! xoxo, Emily

PS-I thought you might like a look at the PILES of fabric I have, that may (or may not) get sorted out today. I'm a little whooped from my production marathon ;-)

Almost done!

Everything is finished already (this was yesterdays photo) and I'm working on all the snaps and bows and belts and things this afternoon. I will get to the packaging later today when everything is complete. I'll be shipping them out tomorrow (or at the latest Saturday morning). Thank you all for your patience. I hope you love your little Blythe goodies!!! xoxo, Emily

Production status of the Black and White Ball

Everything is cut out in the picture and Paulette is overseeing the whole shebang. She's a very fussy girl!

Here I'm working on the Sinistra's and I've done a lot of the prep work for the other outfits. You can see that Paulette is already wearing a finished Francine dress. That particular dress was a custom request as a part of a set. (one Francine in white and the other black)

Above are a few of the photo's I've been taking during my production of the Black and White Ball Collection. I'm further along already than these photo's suggest because they are a few days old already. I took orders for this collection for one week and then started cutting. The cutting took me 3 days to complete and now I'm about half way through the sewing. I hope to finish everyone's outfits by the end of this week. Thanks to everyone who bought a goodie!!!!! xoxo, Emily
