What I've Been Up To

Well, not much amigurumi sadly! I don't know why, but I just haven't been in the mood. I have started several ami's, get 5 rows in, then give up. I don't know why, but I just can't get into it.

I have been doing some crocheting though, for my Blythe doll Zoe. You've already seen the Fuzzy Bear Hat...


... and yesterday I made her a square hat and matching jacket...


I know it's July, but she insists on wearing it now! I will hopefully have the pattern for them up here soon :)

Apart from that I don't really have much to say :( I've been busy customising my fake Blythe doll Umi (follow her adventures here) and it's been really fun! I've done a bit of drilling, sanding, gluing, rerooting, painting, carving - it's been great! I even used yarn for her hair :)

Oh, wait! I did crochet a doll before I went away. I will get a picture of her for you asap :)

New Blog - Umi's Corner

I can't even keep up with this blog, so I don't know why I would want to start a new one!!

But I have - it's called Umi's Corner, web address 'UmiNeo.blogspot.com'. Its basically me talking about my new hobby - customising dolls!

After seeing all the great custom work on sites like Flickr, I was inspired, and bought a Basaak Blybe doll I called Umi Neo...

I know, great hair. But I didn't care what she looked like, as it's all coming off! The hair, makeup, facial features, eyes, eyelashes, clothes - all of it! You can see now why I didn't want to try out all these experiments on a £100 Blythe doll lol! This is what Umi currently looks like...

*Warning - Nude Dolly Alert!*



Phahaha! XD

So if you'd like to follow my adventures with Umi, Please feel free to join us over at Umi's Corner!

And don't worry - I'm still totally commited to crochet!! You don't get rid of me that easily...
