I have come to notice that in recent times, dolly fashion have evolved to become more complicated in terms of design and really miss the time when dolly dress were of simple lines (some 10 years ago @@) So I decided to try out a simple looking a-line mini dress with adorable puff sleeves. I think I am addicted to puff sleeves now!

These 2 little dress sets come paired with autumn coloured tights... I luv dolly tights! And a little neck warmer with little crochet lace details.


Dresses have been fray checked and have metal button clasps.

Upcycled Bath Towel

Here's a simple upcycling project I've recently completed.
A simple old bath towel being snipped up, over-locked at the edges, followed by simple home-stamped labels (I prefer the clean-up towels at home to have designated uses and labels help us keep to that).

This project took no more than 2 hrs, am a tad slow in sewing.

So here's my little contribution to saving our earth :)

More DIY Xmas ornaments

Little .. well not so little ornaments created with a styra-foam ball, ribbons and fabric & an online inspiration.
Now all we need is a tree....

It's Beginning to look a lot like Xmas

I've been a little down... but thankfully I've been trying to keep my spirits up by working on our tree's Xmas' ornaments. This is the second time I'm attempting to make my own Xmas ornaments as an annual affair :) I am loving it so far and can't wait to see them up in the tree.

Letting go :(

I've never in my wildest dreams thought I'd let my most kenner baby go after I got her.
She was my dream for a very long time, a wispy bang Brunette. We've kinda failed to bond despite all her perfections - all my other kenners were either just heads... missing a leg...overly yellowed or something!

Bethlyn as I've named her came to me from another Blythe lover in the US. I've had her since Dec 07 but hardly spent any time with her.

About her
+Hair+ soft! & no frizz! - what sorta kenner is she!!!!???, I think her hair had a slight trim, but not by me.

+Eyes+ looks good to me! a slightly cloudy green chip but not noticable

+Pull mech.+ NOT working. I've NEVER OPENED her up to check why. I just change the colours of her eyes by rolling them with my fingers.

+Face+ Appears to have little tiny spots of aging - she is afterall 39 years old. I've tried to capture them in the pixs I've taken.

+Body+ sexy! okie seriously.... she has an extra butt crack as shown in the photos. Otherwise, body is clean and working

+"Skin"+ pinky

In conclusion, I think she is in rather wonderful condition. She's NOT from a smoking home. I've not opened her up nor restored her as I try to keep my Kenners in the condition they come in except for my severely yellowed Blonde.

Reason of sale : I've a new home to furnish and I've not spent any time with her!!! :( I really feel bad about that.

Price: erm.. hmmmsss.... tough one... I hope am being fair to all asking not for a million dollars but USD$1250. I believe the approx recorded mail worldwide is USD$35 at most. I will quote the exact postage when her destination has been decided.

Pls... give her a good home and more love than me!

Kindi Dresses

It's been a few weeks of TRYING to finish these dresses! It wasn't getting the inspiration to sew of playing with the details but rather getting the time to finish them due to positive issues such as looking for a new home, a couple of incoming styling jobs(I'm a commercial food stylist) & a wonderful vacation I just had.

Anyway, here they are. Thank you to those who had been asking me about them. Am very grateful for your patience :)

A little background now. It had been a while since I had garnered the inspiration to sew or to fabric shop. All it took was for me to get lost in thoughts and Chinatown and fall in love with this fabric which in turn triggered my urge to create these 3 dresses. The prints are of the old skool illustration style... too adorable for me to pen dwn in words :)

There are 3 variations of this dress set.

Materials used are Japanese cotton & old school polyester pleated lace

She needs a name : (

Am terrible because:

1. She proberly can't hear now because she was the first SBL I tried taking apart and totally injured her.

2. Her lips were terribly carved as I did not have the proper tools (I was based overseas and was desperate to custom a doll, with or without the right tools)

3. I never set her fringe properly

4. Her makeup looks terrible!!!!

5. I NEVER NAMED HER!!!

I'm trying to make amends. This is also my break month thus I've been going through my older gals, touching them up and giving them make-overs! Hopefully I've learnt a little some thing from Project runway and watching numerous episodes of Tim Gunn's guide to style!

ps. do feel free to leave name suggestions.

Here's a little picture story of her:

her before:


her hearing issues :(




her little road to recovery:

Appi-Moon

She’s yellow as the moon and face round as an apple. She’s taught me to see past her bald spots.... broken knee and bitten off foot. I did not dare ask how it happened in fear of hurting her 1972 ole heart.

I patiently cleaned her the best I knew how then, and gave her a partial saran reroot that was a shade darker than her original kenner frizz, it was really hard to find the exact shade back then! and I was desperate to cover her bald patches. She also lost her cliff chin from my lack of knowledge in sanding dolls some 8 years ago, but still continued to smile.

Appi-moon beside Padmini's perfect Blonde


I gave her brighter pink lips to ‘brighten’ her up only to realise it made her look tranney-ish when she yellowed again in later years. But she still continued to smile the best way she knew how.

As all Toy stories are told, they were played with, then stored away. Often forgotten as new toys came in... am guilty of that with her.

2 weeks ago, a close dolly friend of mine brought me her Blonde Kenner for a touch up and that made me take Appi-Moon out. Sadly, she had yellowed AGAIN.
Appi should really stop trying to turn chinese like me... hmmmss....

Anyway, for 1 whole week... I tried the simplest to the most completed methods of de-yellowing treatments on her... from using pearl drops... to using the good old novus polisher on her.
But alas.... she was in her terminal stage. :(

With other kenner gals... all yellow in sorrow (after 1.5 weeks of toothpaste n novus treatment)



Then it occured to me... why not give her a surface/superficial facelift.... yes kenner lovers out there.. you may hate me for what I’ve done to her... but like a comment I read from a restorer mentioned “just follow your heart in how U feel your doll should look.. ignore the negativity of the community” with that, I finally decided to match her to her very pinky original plastic like the Aiai-chan’s.... the only thing I decided to take the risk with was to give her pale lips ... like the Kenner prototype I lusted for online.

the 2 attempts for her new colours




I’ve also give her back her cliff chin and rerooted a little more blonde hair into her scalp. This time the colour & texture are loads closer to her original as it was from a clip of blonde hair purchased from a wig shop

So here she is.... again..... as fresh as she cld be from 1972..

Little October Gal

I can't believe i started on the dresses' 1st prototype 6 months ago! The only thing positive about taking so much time is that I could revisit the embellishments used on the dresses a few times to be sure they've all co-ordinate well.

Materials used are cotton, white lace and tiny gold beads as buttons.





Dress 1 > Red with white polka-dots with dotty yolk
Dress 2 > Dark red base with stripped yolk
Dress 3 > Stripped base with dark red yolk (on Misa in photo)
