Mix & Match & Hot air balloon

It is snowing outside.
 Rather cold with proper degrees (around -15 celsius during the weekend..)
I haven't been feeling inspired to touch the sewing machine but I went through some older creations.
One necklace - hot air balloon was found, I don't think I have taken pictures or posted it anywhere just yet.
I will correct that. A new picture of the Mix & Match experiment as well.
Discovered I have some amazing fabrics, should just get around doing something out of them.

One example how different Tsukifly clothes go together.
A skirt with high waist and pink Candy corset for Supergem.
Pictured on Soom Migma.
 I updated some info and pictures in the Store. I should do some cleaning and make new pictures as some are not too good in showing details or are too dark otherwise. That goes on my list, but although I would like to get that done sooner rather than later it might take considerable time before I have energy/time to do anything.. Have to have plans, right?

Hot air balloon necklace
Now that I don't feel I want to touch the sewing machine that much I concentrate on other things. Like this necklace, flower head bands etc. Small additional stuffs. I am also knitting a Human sized scarf which I am planning to offer for sale as well. Something different and an attempt to expand the size/product base I am offering. I must admit though, anything in human size takes longer time and will be offered only occassionally.

Anyway, please keep checking back for a warm hand knitted scarf pictures :)
Not to mention a supergem skirt/dress thing I am working on (still haven't decided which one it will be..)

Pink candy dreams

13 days since the new year started.
I have been busy with lots of things, but occassionally been able to spare some time for handycrafts.
I try to keep a little distance to sewing as I did so much before Christmas.

What I have finished now:
*Knitted a scarf - light blue and silver coloured. Even though it is not Dolly sized I have been considering I might offer few things in Human size as well. I started knitting another one - light blue violet which is narrow version of the other one. Pictures later.

*Origami cranes ~

*Bunch of flower headbands, tiny/MSD/SD sized. I will post them to the shop later as well. Please see below for few designs. Flower wreath is something of an experiment.

*Finished a skirt in SD/SD13 size. Candy pink with satin and organza layers, few Candy details and glass beads. A bit heavier for a doll to wear but bunch of details to look at.

Candy Dream skirt - SD/SD13 size
Flower Wreath - pink, white and violet paper flowers and berriers

Nene modelling one of the blueberry headbands.
Two designs were made. Goes well with the Dollheart dress she is wearing.
I will be updating more pictures soon. Please check the store for new headbands and other clothing!~
Few tiny dresses are waiting to be finished. I am in desperate need of proper models and pictures of the clothing..
The snow finally came to Finland. Therefore more light is reflected during the day. Better for the pictures.
My apologies for the poor quality of the pictures before Christmas. Things should be better from now on ~

New year - new plans

Collage of fireworks 2014
Happy New Year for everybody!
I had a chance of testing my camera when the year changed. I rather like the pictures I got.
 
During my Christmas Holiday I had time to try something new. Rather pinkish theme, later something else.
First up few lace bras for SD girls. Two petticoats as well.

Pink Lace bra for SD girls.
Two different designs. 1 piece of each. Snap fasteners at the back.
 One of my dolls was suppose to have all pink outfit and thus all this pink theme. Lace bra, petticoats.. Yes.. But this wasn't the end of it. There is also satin/organza skirt dream with few candy details and such. It is not quite finished yet so no pictures yet. Should finish it next week..
Pink petticoats - satin waist piece, elastic band enables them to fit variety of SD sized dolls.
Majority of my time went into finishing two bigger commissions - that MSD set with a complete underwear set and changes to that white satin dress I previously posted. Completed Super Gem black underwear set and black corset top.


 
Just for my own track keeping - Other things I made:
Inspired by origami cranes I made a mobile out of them. Why origami, it might have something to do with the fact that  I got some lovely Kiki's Delivery Service themed origami papers. Also tried out how to make an origami lily, the paper was handmade.. a bit too thick for the lily to keep its shape properly.. Made a kind of storage pocket for a tablet for there was no right sized one in the store. Also tried ambiously to make a box for my camera.. that however, didn't turn out too well.. I am concerned it won't protect it very well.. I will try to take few pictures and post some evidence of these other things.

Maybe Tsukifly blog should turn into a handycraft blog and not just a dolly clothing blog? What do you think?
Thanks for reading and I will be back with more photos.
