#Jun Planning Ai Leucocoryne

Project(s) round up-ish, for October 2018!

Yep, it’s that time again, for this lover of all things crafting back on her excitement for what she’s been making. So without further adieu let’s see what I’ve conjured up in this lovely month of Halloween (expect a part two, still fishing out decorations and costumes for my dolls)

My new scarf! This was made in Caron Cakes, Cinnamon Swirl, used about half the ball and I still have half left! It’s a really long scarf too about five feet long (which is as much as I am tall. Word to the wise - you want your scarf to be as long as the person your making it for, so they can get all warm and snuggly with it unless you wanna go for the shorter type of scarf)

Now, when I was at the craft store, twice now I’ve found super duper cute Halloween socks, that just HAd to get in my cart, one of them being these adorable socks with unicorn skeletons on them... and thus, two of my girls got some new duds.

GASP. Vala... ACTUALLY GOT CLOTHES!? AND THEIR FOR A YOUNG LADY HER AGE!? YES. YES IT IS TRUE.

Yeah, bit of a running joke around here, Vala here barely has anything that suits her current character personality, and dressing her in her old frilly, extra super girly clothes just doesn’t fly around here anymore. It feels weird. So, unlike last year where I stuck her in a new shirt and her jeans and called it good, I made her an entire outfit from scratch. I wanted it to be different from her past sweaters and outfits, so I took leftovers from Noah’s lovely sweater (fit her like a glove, instantly) and made Vala a one sleeved number. Then the pants came next with this cute bat fabric. I’m really pleased with both, since the skeletons look cute but also a little spooky. (This is as close to a kelpie sweater as I’m probably gonna get so I’ll be pleased)

Close up of Noah’s sweater, honestly the hardest part was deciding which side goes front, since both had an abundance of unicorn sweaters. This side won, cause of the epic laying on it’s back unicorn.

Vala’s full outfit, just really happy in general with how it looks. Feels like it’s something her character would wear if she got her hands on it (or if someone knitted it for her. Wisp has yarn crafts too!)

SPEAKING OF! 

Oh good goddess, this dress... THIS DRESS. I am so happy with how it looks, but boy was it a bit of a chore to figure out. I used size 10 crochet thread, first working up the bottom part of the skirt and then working upwards, alternating each row with a different thread. Took me about a day to finish, but hooo boy did it murder my fingers. I think I was out of commission crochet wise for a few days. Same day I finished the shawl I started it. 

And that’s it for now. Expect more later!

What makes a Monday good? Well, beyond surviving work?

Packages!

Came home to several waiting for me. (Spoiler: it's all doll stuff.)

First is Ginger, a little cowgirl. She even has a hobby horse!

Next are three dolls I bought off a friend. Leucocoryne, Aster, and Marigold.

I wasn't sure how I felt about the sleeping sculpt, but in person she is lovely. I don't plan to get more of this sculpt, but I'm glad I have her.

All of them are Jun Planning Ai dolls. I have a few others coming, some will stay stock, some will be modded.

Christmas 2018

“Can I have some?”

“Maybe.”

“Avalon. Give me, the fruit cake. I actually like it.”

“Fiiine.”

“Pretty tree though.... and I’m still shorter than it.”

“Welp, we made out like bandits. Good idea hitting the bakery before two.”

“Look at all the presents Avery!”

“Oh, I wonder which one’s for me?”

“What’s it sound like brother?”

“It’s... boxy.”

“And I said that’s not a mimic, that’s my wife!”

“... Boo.”

“Avalon, love that was bad.”

“KAZUMI!”

“I still can’t tell what’s in here.”

“FASTER!!!!”

“When’s my turn?”

Merry Christmas!

I got bit hard the other day to do some miniature crochet. Real tiny crochet using a .01 hook, and two kinds of crochet thread. It was interesting working in that small scale, seeing all the details coming together and having something so tiny yet so perfect appear. I think my favorite is the green cardigan I made for Veronica (red hair) though Vivian’s scarf looks adorable too. The dress I’m a bit meh about, it didn’t decrease the way I wanted it to so the fit’s a bit funky but it was my first time making a bunch of garments out of that stuff. (It had been fighting me for months)

Sooo yeah. There ya go.
