the creative doll 2024 skip to main skip to sidebar wednesday december 4 2024 12 4 2024 purple passions have you ever heard the saying i plan god laughs for 2022 and 2023 i had the wonderful plan to make up the kits i have for my ultimate fashion doll by alice leverett some goals were to finish some accessories and kits i began but did not finish from workshops that were not quite completed hats gloves hems closures etc the infamous ufos the created beauties she has in the sets as accessories i was going gangbusters but then well other stuff happened total failure to get the momentum back i made the same promise to myself the following year still did not do it all more problems i told you it was a rough couple of years one i completed i showed you it was a beauty it was written about here https creativedoll blogspot com 2021 last year my goal was to work one of the carmel doll shoppe kit each month for lavinia and tom thumb i am making headway there this year but it is still slow so many dolls all screaming for wardrobes i must keep them in drawers to mute the sounds i ll share more soon she s so sweet but i haven t gotten to toms clothing yet i digress i did want to show this purple plaid beauty i finally finished it i love it plaids all match and everything i do want to explain that in the category of being lame i am not the best photographer i have one eye that sees far and one that sees close secretly hoping they can fix that with cataract surgery when the time comes i did not get to attend this class but i did buy the kit i am so proud of it and thought i would share the pictures kathi have fun posted by kathi at 7 54 am 0 comments thursday october 31 2024 costume fun in miniature mignonette style october 31 2024 about two years ago a couple of mu internet dolly friends and i decided we would like to copy sort 0f a mignonette box we had seen at carmel doll museum since there were three of us we thought each of us could use the mignonette book as our inspiration we each had the book and could make selections from it mignonette her history wardrobe miniature world 1878 1917 by mathilde and samy odin heritier https www amazon com mignonnette history wardrobe miniature 1878 1917 dp 2913684068 every third month we picked an outfit to make once picked we would each do that pattern to fit our mignonettes all about 5 5 inches with our own fabrics and interpretations i had every intention of using up some small pieces of fabric about august i began to think about my october decision and decided i would use the picture from when dreams come true as i had seen on pinterest and saved to my board the original doll is 14 5 inches tall a bebe from delcroix from the description https www trocadero com stores whendreamscometrue items 1339844 i knew i would have to redesign as close as possible for my 5 5 mignonette mine is a jumeau reproduction made for me by sophie pearson using the picture noted above i began working out the scale and changes or items needed to recreate this costume a very sweet party outfit described on a male doll however my doll was a little girl i didn t care my doll my choice i started with the skirt which was the easiest thing to do all there is to do is a length of gathered fabric into a waistband and a closure the edging was serendipity and the black pom poms can be found at hobby stores the jacket took a bit more fitting and ingenuity sometimes components are hard to get make or imagine how to complete i was lucky enough to have a small stash of ¼ velvet ribbon sometimes you just make it work but i feel i was as close as i was going to get to the real thing soon i created and sent off the directions to my friends we have collected quite a wardrobe for out little ladies if you are a member of the mignonettes group on io the directions are in the files there if you want to give this a go finished side and back photos in the meantime have fun kathi posted by kathi at 8 28 am 0 comments labels costume halloween inspiration mignonette miniature saturday october 19 2024 a little explanation for delays 10 19 24 in the past year and a half i had a second surgery doing well no worries hired an organizer amy she s great i call her my task master worked on the issues with the blog helped my wonderful husband with his projects and doctor visits and nagged him to be my obedient servant didn t work try as i might to be boss he s not buying it yes that is a joke the rule in this house is we decide who s boss before the project this works very well as we both have our strengths we are both boss types as well this might come as shock but this time away has made me realize i am aging it kind of sneaks when you least expect it i went through a process of deciding with amy pushing me on what i really wanted to do i see my avocation as a designer artist miniaturist seamstress writer teacher and vocationally as a wife and homemaker i have also done that a lot longer there was a lot of retrospection and conversation that went into the process many decisions were made i am loving my new focus and lifestyle we ll chat more about that coming up in new posts my old computer which isn t very old by the by decided it didn t want to work anymore it does still work but it is picky about it like having a child my husband got me a new computer it is a tablet pc and does the job i like the pc but i am constantly noticing i cannot work as i did before i need something else my little laptop is supposed to be easier friendlier but it does not have any of the old ports on it i had to buy a hub to plug in my current peripheral s into so i could use them i am so tired of chasing technology what i do like is that the computer people are getting together on all these proprietary plugs so we have a method to use chargers the same that is most excellent but in the meantime nothing is the same we grow we adapt i grumble a lot so i use two computers now the old one where i can work faster at things i know and the new one for emails blog posts and learning how to do things in a new way i have not wasted my time being absent ultimately i got here ready to share more on the blog with you i had to relearn many things and catch up with changes on the computer grumble grumble i am almost a minimalist not quite there but i am an in the middlest for sure my term i made it up i should trademark it the new start date was to be on october 1 2024 so you can see i am late the truth of the matter is a tree 2 of them fell on our house during helene it was frightening and messy the roof was pierced the ceiling upstairs also with holes the rain pouring in glass broken windows shattered what a wallop my house is a house that looks like a two story on the front and a 4 story in the back it s two stories two 80 foot trees decided they couldn t handle it anymore and gave up silver linings are that we did get power back in three days did lose all the food stores are getting restocked our systems can be awe inspiring and we are resilient people the trees got removed there is a tarp on the roof holes in the house plugged for now we are waiting for our turn to have the adjustor contractor come to estimate the damage those estimates will be forwarded to insurance company we will wait the insurance company will say what they approved and write a check and then we wait the company and we decide how much we want to fix and any added items that come up and we will wait once all the work is agreed upon we will wait for out turn in line for the contractor to make repairs this is going to take a while in the meantime we are safe have power have food friends and we know we are very lucky we count our blessings every day oh another silver lining our view to the lake is so much better now pray for those in need and if you can afford to give please do east tn and va and fl need you ever so much i hope to have another post soon it will be about projects and what has been completed thank you to all of you who have enjoyed these posts and to those who have reached out and checked on me you are kind thoughtful and appreciated until the next post as always have fun kathi posted by kathi at 7 43 am 0 comments monday october 14 2024 yes it has been a long time before i start writing for the blog again there are a couple of updates for you i share this blog with michelle mahler of minidolls com michelle is hoping to sell the doll artist s workshop where she sells supplies fabrics trims and assorted items to create and dress miniature dolls i will be writing this blog we have worked out or rather not yet figured out why the reading view was covered up with the red background we tried many ways to fix this and the result was to remove the background and voila a readable blog for those who were unaware of the issues i will share them with you and because i am both an ipad and pc user the information came to me a little late i hadn t noticed readers on apple or ios products mac iphone ipad were getting different views is the level of upgrade the problem or is it google is it something else were the programming languages colliding in some way we do not know but are greatly appreciative of those who checked things out and reported findings for those who had no issues this is what was happening this is the original format and how we wanted it to look this picture clearly shows that the background is now covering all content the background for the ios users was on top and not behind the content the header with emilie claire doll will remain the same the simplest answer was to remove the background the content is now visible with the background removed i like this view the content is readable it is lovely as linen as it represents our primary content is sewing for dolls going forward i have retained a professional to take care of these things for me so i can create some meaningful content kathi posted by kathi at 12 20 pm 0
