Projects: In Progess or Ideas? What'choo Workin' On?

[Kattriella]

Most of my shopping recently has been on eBay. I'd rather pay someone else for their old stuff than spend money on new stuff of lower quality.

Same; my own eBay trawling comes with the added wrinkle of "anything 'in the wild' of actual value keeps getting swept into the vintage/antique shops that we never visit".

Got in my Spoonflower order with prints for my custom outfits for the remainder of the Jem 12.5" Hasbro dolls I didn't have as a child, and recently bought on eBay/mercari, to finish the set finally, but came nude or were nonexistent. (Raya, Jetta's pants, Synergy, and then the 3 'Stingers' members who never actually got official dolls back then.)

No time at all to work on them now but maybe in August during my sis' birthday vacation, we can get a chance to make stuff for ourselves.

Right now, it's crunch time with rush cosplay commissions, dolls and plushies for birthdays!!!

Wish us luck we can make it all in time for each date!

God bless!

Good luck!


(Tangentially, all this Jem talk got me to write down colours for an amigurumi Jem, though who knows when I can actually make her--gotta clear out the "in reserve" half of my projects bag first, among other things.)

If you're near a Joann their house brand yarn Big Twist has some bright neon Jem colors. If you can get the velvety color Baby Bear that's ideal for fried food and chicken nuggets.

I did grab some hot pink Big Twist last time I was at Joann, actually! XD And I'll keep "Baby Bear" in mind if we can go back.

Please be proud of me, I FINALLY drafted patterns to sew clothes for Monster High g3 Abbey Bominable. I just need to put finishing touches on the bottom pattern and it's ready to copy and use tomorrow!

I'm so sad Joann's is closing, but I FINALLY managed to find the exact shade of blue fabric I needed for a project, so that's good.

Well, I gave up on trying to artificially induce a hyperfixation on Monster High dolls, took out some Rainbow High dolls, and immediately started being productive again. It doesn't matter that the Rainbow High fandom is dead. Nobody likes the series anymore, the newer dolls are crap, but I still have art to make and fics to write about the earlier characters and stuff. I admit, I saw another Rainbow High fanfic writer posting 2 oneshots in 2 weeks and I was hella inspired, like "Yeah, who cares if it's over, we can still have fun!" I mean, people still write Ever After High fanfics and that shit's been dead for a decade now. If the Rainbow High girls are my muses, they're my muses!

I'm still gonna finish my sci-fi drama with Shadow & Lucas, but I want to make fan art and fan fiction for a while. All of this is a hobby, I don't have a deadline.

Just bought a secondhand Hannah Montana cd player/radio/MP3 player combo thing from eBay. It's in need of a cleaning and restoration, so that my current non-doll related project. Doll related projects are, like, six reroots. Three of them are on Integrity dolls, so pray for me. One of them is going to require me to punch ALL the holes in his head because he's currently flocked, not rooted. Pray for me, y'all.
