A new dress I made for Zoe to celebrate Chinese New Year. It's made from felt, and the pattern was modified from Orriettacat's Asian coat pattern. The ribbon is one of my favourites - it was from VV Rouleaux, which shut down, so I've been saving it for something special. The black knot closure was found lying in a street in Edinburgh!
The shoes belong to my J-Doll, and are massive even on a Blythe, so I had to stuff them with cotton wool. It's a good thing I didn't leave them on long, as they stained her feet purple!
Her blue eyes go well with this dress, but I'm going to change them soon for some pale teal ones.
Now I feel like watching "In the Mood for Love" to celebrate both Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day!
Continuing the birthday card season - this one was for a friend who's into retro games. There are more to come soon - all the birthdays in my family and close colleagues are in the three month period from mid February onwards, and there's Mothers Day too.
I made this birthday card for a colleague who had read my copy of Twilight after hearing about it from one of her classes (she teaches Biology). I had made the card about a week before her birthday, so I was very amused when a few days before her birthday she lent me the DVD of Twilight!

Although I'd bought a make-up holdall as a doll case, I still had my eye open for something even better. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this in the window of a charity shop! It was the perfect shape, size, colour, condition, and price (only £3.99!). It even has a couple of pockets to store their clothes in. Now my Blythes are as happily housed as my Sindys and Pippas are in their vintage cases!
