hello peoples. voting is open for our team's halloween contest , and of course my entry is totally overshadowed by everyone else's awesomeness! i haven't even voted yet myself.. it's too hard to choose! here is lucy, as a ghost-type thing. also, sassylassie (who has a really cool shop, by the way) got us a doll couture treasury . my aqua/pink sweater is featured (yay!), along with some other awesome stuff that i hadn't seen before. these people are really making me want a blythe... speaking of wanting dolly stuff.. i saw this charmkins necklace in trunkofprettys' shop today and almost squealed. i had that when i was a kid! in fact i still have the little brunette one hanging around with my pullip stuff. and to complete the look, how about a human-sized dolly dress ? i'm already planning a full outfit around that in my head. i need to stop. (or win the lottery...)

today i am working on my entry our team's halloween costume contest. which is typical for me, considering it is due to be finished today. (i swear i thought there was more time!) so, knit knit knit. i guess i can say it'll be a little "avant-garde". i don't usually look at these magazines, but i somehow got a free subscription to women's day and i have to say.. these are the coolest cupcakes ever. i wish i could throw a party or something to have an excuse to make some fun halloween food, but the boyfriend is away until the first week of november, so.. no fun. )= i am eagerly awaiting my first paycheck from my new job. i think there is a tiny etsy splurge in my future...

i managed to grab a treasury for the doll couture team a couple days ago! and a real treasury, not even treasury west. (= go look quick! http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list.php?room_id=12511 all halloween stuff! and i am working on some of my own right now. i would just like to say, hooray for the new dolls & miniatures category! it goes live october 6th. i can't wait to have a peek at it myself. also, i am now officially hired at my new job! i start training next week. (= yay for more yarn money!

just a note: last day of the sale! and we have a couple of fun treasuries going right now: http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list.php?room_id=54154 http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list_west.php?room_id=15020 and happy july to everyone else. (=

the doll couture team is having a 4th of july sale! here's my sale section. there's more awesome stuff marked down in a lot of other doll couture shops . some of this stuff makes me wish i had a blythe... here are some works in progress. one is already listed, and the rest is waiting for some supplies. along with some other non-hat items...

first of all, can i just say that i take online multitasking to the extreme. at any given time i have about four or five different tabs open. it must be a habit i developed back in the days of dialup.. while one page is loading, you have something else to look at. at this moment my tabs bar is full. (emailing, etsying, flickring, reading about nigerian email scams...) okay, it's actually past full. i was having to scroll to the side for a little while. insanity. but it makes sense with all that's going on. i'm now part of an etsy team, doll couture ! there's already a cool treasury and a flickr group . i'm excited! i did end up reshooting this hat.. way better. okay, so maybe it's obsessing but i haven't been around on etsy long enough to slack. speaking of which, i have another hat ready to go... i did a little mini-photoshoot to try out my bootleg cardboard box lightbox setup. it's not the best, really, but workable. more shots over at ...
