Meet Lagoona

This is Lagoona Blue. Although Frankie came first to live with me, Lagoona is number 1 from the start for many reasons. She was simply a little harder to get. I will probably come back to all the reasons of her supremacy, for now, lets say, we instatnly made friends, so I decided, that she'll accompany me in my first trip to Crete.

She proved to be a good, however demanding companion. She brought her original clothes, but she quickly demanded a dress suitable for the warm mediterranean spring. I didn't have time for sewing before we left, so she made me take all supplies with me. Lucky I didn't need much clothes for me this time.
I actually made her two dresses, but she refused to change on the beach.

I've been away for some time and it's gonna continue, I'm afraid. I just want to quickly share my new fascination. She's keeping me company. She doesn't seem to mind... ;)

Crochet scraps

I'm continuing my project to use up all yarn scraps. Yeah, I know its futile, but I'll try anyway. :)
 

First, I made a bluish mini dress for Pretty in Plaid AA Barbie. Wow, that doll was hard to get! She must've gone a long way before she fell into my sis' hands and finally - into mine (Thanks sis!), cause her head is glued on. Anyway, she's still as pretty as she should be. She is also very difficult to photograph: when I finally managed to work with her overall stiffness and hair picking up static or lighting problems, there always was a stray speck of dust on her face.

Then, there was a patchy tunic for Birthstone Beauty. I guess it could use some leggins...
Again, it probably wasn't my day for photographing. That's what happens when you want to document something fast. ;)

 

No tunic here, but the portray is nice enough to share. :)

And finally, a greenish dress. I'm quite happy with the corset. It cost me lots of unraveling and making again, but then the skirt was quick to make.

It feels so cool to turn those scraps I was about to throw away into something, lets say, applicable. :)
