Commisions on the way

Why I am commissioning dolly things when I have no money, I don't know. Perhaps it is because I'm so tight and it's so depressing that I need something to look forward to and nothing makes me happier than having dolly things made special for me. A vicious cycle, yes. And to make up for it, I will be having a Blythe Kingdom lot sale to get rid of some of the dolly clothes I have accumulated over the years. I will keep you posted but I'm pretty sure it will be up by this weekend.

The first commission on it's way is a set of two sweaters for my petites made by Mari aka Suedehead. I just love her knit dresses for full size Blythes. I have two and they are among my absolute favorite things. Her knit wear for petite Blythe is just unbelievable. I will never stop being amazed by tiny garments with so much detail. Her and Care aka Obsessively Stitching are just masters at this.

So I selected the yarn colors Mar had available and commissioned the pink hoody which is one I've seen and loved and wanted for a full sized Blythe for a while as well. I love the Orla Kiely leaf pattern and asked for that to be knit in the front of the turtle neck. I think it came out wonderful and I can't wait to see it!


I was also able to pin down the very talented and very busy Melacacia to commission a pair of her hauntingly beautiful Blythe Doll eye chips. I have admired them and her amazing Customs Blythe dolls for quite some time and since I will never be able to afford one of her dolls, I figured I might at least get a pair of her eye chips for the next Blythe doll I am able to custom.

I also happened upon these adorable sweater shirts made by Mari Batistello while surfing flickr a week ago and commissioned one of those as well.

Ahem!
So guess I'm not done with Monster High after all. I just couldn't resist this lady! Her design is just so sick! She's got a kind of 40s Bobby Soxer glamour I'm a sucker for fused with this romantic, goth-like phantom of the opera look. And of course the fire red hair. I'm a redhead junkie.

She's also got tattoos and an embedded opera score on one side of her body. It's a little creepy. Me likey! LOL!!
I can't wait to see her up close!

A very Blythe lunch hour

Had a mini meet Blythe Lunch with Paula this afternoon. It had to be one of the brightest spots of this dreary grey Monday.

The Blythe Collection Guide Book which she ordered from Kinokuniya just arrived and we looked at it a bit while we ate and talked about work and the nuances of our Blythe addiction. LOL! I only saw a few pages but it looks amazing! I'm thinking of ordering a copy myself but I'm not sure when.

Her HS Ama (first from the left) just got that beautiful new dress she's wearing from Morganours of Tomate Cerise and a hat from Blythe Warmers aka me! Doesn't she look just lovely? At her side are Bowie and Hendrix who I brought along with me. We also remarked on how well coordinated our girls are when they meet up. Paula took this photo of them in the bookstore cafe and it just captures their chemistry and cheery colorful outfits so beautifully!

Bee Girl!

Monster High Bee Insect is here! As part of the Create a Monster Accessory pack however, the rest of her unfortunately will not arrive until later.  LOL!

These bee glasses are a huge hit. I want a pair for myself!

Blythe Doll sighting on NYC2.0!!

So one of my co-workers who also knits told me about this absolutely fascinating sounding episode of NYC 2.0 a show that comes on the NYCTV channel which I love that came on about a week or two ago. She couldn't remember the name of the show at the time but recalled it this morning and called to tell me. I looked it up on line, found it and had been watching, completely enthralled for the last 20 minutes and then O saw this!! A Blythe doll in the art studio of a woman named Becky! WAHH!! I love it!!! This particular episode is about how artists use and apply cutting edge technology to create innovative projects. It's really amazing. Check it out!
