February 2008



Here is another chance to grab up a very unique and luxurious micro knit dress for Blythe. I changed up the skirt pattern for this beautiful micro knit dress. I think you’ll love the pop of bright electric green in this one! Please note that the auction was set at 5 days so it could end Sunday. Ebay item # 220206331543

It’s a rainy day here. There is nothing much better to do than crochet and knit. I’m finishing up loose ends. I hope to get that second micro-knit dress to ebay early next week after the ebay strike. I have a general plan to make maybe one a week if possible for ebay till I get bored of them! I already have all these variations of them in my head. I just need to list them out and leave them for another rainy day. I’m already getting carried away with ideas for Summer 2008. I think that is what I’m going to dedicate the upcoming weeks to so expect a slight disappearance but in a month or two another fun big sale!

(Please note, Ebay took the first listing down due to having an Etsy url in the item description. )

For those of you who might not know, Hazel was my first Kenner Blythe purchase. I really didn’t know much about Kenners at the time. I didn’t even know there was black haired girls and brunettes. I thought she was just a brunette! I just was so attracted by her cute face I had to have her! I really thank the advice of my close friend Jess about bidding. I think every day I upped what I was willing to bid by $100. I can’t believe I won her in the end! I paid for express shipping but the seller took over the weekend and a few days to get her in the mail. I was so impatient and the torture was killing me. I got her and she was wrapped in some sort of medical padding. I can see her fresh new blushy face still in my head. I nearly thought something was wrong when I saw all her blush. I asked myself “is she supposed to be this way?”. What made me feel so close to her was her hair had this amazing vintage wave to it, nearly a fingerwave. Her bangs curl in the most graceful manner. I think I spent all day just combing her hair (and picking grubby pieces of shag carpet and melted rubber band out of it) I quickly explored photographing her at all angles. She started my addiction to the vintage Blythe and really changed my life. She is an artists muse that keeps me creating and enjoying my imagination. She will forever be my first love!
