Petite Blythe - Muchacha Zukin

I've mentioned before that, while not a huge fan, I have 2 Petite Blythes. You can see my first post on Blythe here http://aprilperlowski-ofdolls.blogspot.jp/2013/03/petite-blythe.html

My second Petite Blythe is Muchacha Zukin from 2010. Her costume is adorable, and reminds me of a cross between Little Red Riding Hood and the yellow brick road from The Wizard of Oz.





Interesting, she has 2-toned hair, light brown underneath, and cherry red on top.



She rather desperately needs her hair combed.

A Few More Projects

December was a very busy crafting month filled with lots of gift exchanges.


An apron for an apron swap.


Placemats for another swap.


Ornaments for my friends.


And a Christmas card holder.


I was surprised that I actually found time to crochet. I made an amigurumi tamago sushi. yum.

Did you get any crafting in? What did you make?

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! 

What do you get for the most wonderful husband in the world when he already has everything he wants or needs? Something small that can fit on his desk or cubicle, but what? 

Then inspiration hit me - a Sylvannian family character that rides a unicycle and plays badminton, two activities my husband enjoys. The catch - the only figure that comes with those accessories is a girl, and I haven't seen separate boy clothes for sale. No problem. I bought a little boy squirrel and exchanged him in the box with the female cat. Problem solved. And I can even claim the roller skates in the box since my husband doesn't skate.


Best friends.


Look at me! No hands!


Whee!


Whose turn is it to pick up the birdie?

What Has Been Keeping Me Busy

So I haven't made many posts in the last 2 months or so, mainly because I have been caught up in crafting, mostly for the holidays. My hard work has paid off, and I got a lot done and learned some new skills.

Here are some of the projects I have made recently.

A Halloween candle mat.


A baby quilt.



And an Autumn table runner.


There are few more projects, but I don't want to post photos until after Christmas, so the recipients are surprised.

Ellowyne Wilde in Snowflakes

I was playing with my "A Case of the Blues" Ellowyne Wilde. Here she is in her new outfit from Windy City Shop (Ebay).
