I have joined Raverly for a while, and I found this group called "Knitting for Blythe". People there are so nice, and they always have new style of dresses for Blythe and so many beautiful gals. A month ago, I joined this Blythe Swap, I am so excited about this, it's my first SWAP and I wanted to make it enjoyable. The moment I joined my mind go wild. I have been thinking what kind of dress should I make? or hat? or WHAT? I have no idea. I have tried several yarns, different sizes, different crochet hook sizes, finally I got what I wanted and mailed them out on the deadline. The whole process allowed me to try different things on yarns, skills and patterns and I love it. If there is more Blythe SWAP I will join it again defintely :) These gifts I got from knittygirlie. She created this dust bunny, and she knitted this beautiful purple dress with a cat on it. You can tell how much work would that be! We all love these very much!!! Thanks Knittygirlie.

I have been looking for a Mademoiselle Rosebud (MRB) for a long time! However, every single one I saw either was too expensive or they have already been customized. I don't really like all these customization for MRB, I wanted one that's natural and original, even though a 2nd hand doll I would not mind at all. I searched for TIB, Blythe for adoption in flickr group, I just couldn't find one that's what I wanted. Finally a few days ago I saw a photo of MRB in flickr group the owner said she wanted to send her to a good home. I at once sent a message to the owner and asked. Oh My God, pricing was within my range, blythe was fully stock, clothes wasn't fully stock but at that point, my gut told me " go for it, that's the one you wanted all this time " . I made a payment instantly and hoped for the best! This seller I bought MRB from was pipercat99, she was such a nice person, we chatted back and forth since I adopted her MRB. She is the nicest, kindest person I ever met online these days. We chatted so much it's just naturally becomes friends. I love that!!!! Since I have Blythe, I have doubted myself whether I could bond with these cutie gals, I have tried my best with MM and EP, however, with MRB, everything is just so natural! Love grows within myself to her! It's just a weird feeling! :) I am so happy that I got her, thanks pipercat99!!!

In the past weekend, my hubby and my daughters dyed Easter eggs at home. Lily with her new dress, showed off the dyed eggs and bunny bag. :) What a nice weekend we had, weather was nice, warm enough to play outside, everybody spent 2 days outside without worrying too much of catching a cold. Lily, didn't have a chance to go outside, but had her new purple dress made from mami. Mami crocheted this dress last Friday and Saturday morning, very happy it turned out OK! :)

I read willynillywaterlily's blog about making a headband by using beads and wire. I really like to make one for my Lily too, but I know nothing about bending wire or working with wire. :D So I went to the store and got crafty wire, it didn't say what gauge it was, I just got it and thought it would be alright. However, it wasn't strong enough to hold the headband down on Lily's head. Then I went to the hardware dept and got myself some thick wire, my hubby said if I couldn't use it, he could (good to know). Thus I got this 20-22 gauge wire and it worked, it bended and stayed on Lily's head. I was happy. :) Because of this little project, it got me interested in the wire beading a little more, therefore, without reading anything, I made more headbands with more beads, well .. at the end I didn't know how to end the wire, so I just made a little loop and called it the end. I went to the library and borrowed a book about wire beading and hopefully I will learn more about this. So far, the headbands weren't too pretty, but I did try.. haha.. I hope I will make more prettier headband in the future for Alla and Lily. :)
