bloodyrosemccoyDamn. Here I thought I was all set for dolls for a while, and along comes Inspiration. I now suddenly have terrific ideas for THREE different dolls, all of whom would allow me to come up with different wardrobes and accessories from those of the dolls I currently have, and all of which would be incredibly fun to design. So I have something to look forward to when I have a little spending money. SHUT UP, IT’S NOT A PROBLEM, IT’S A HOBBY.

Speaking of dolls, I made a new shirt for one of them! Check out Kuen’s space-themed tunic!
Both top and bottom fabrics are scraps from a quilt kit I have (it’s a hell of a quilt). The design is remarkably similar to one by ampmcreations, which I found through![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
firinel (thanks, Fin!),* but modified to fit a slim-body doll and with snaps instead of velcro in the back. Also, it is not professionally sergerized, since I haven’t got a serger. I still think it looks pretty good, though I’m not sure about using the dark blue thread on the hem. I’d hoped it would be an accent color, but I may redo that hemline …
Oh! And did I mention it alsotravels through time GLOWS IN THE DARK?

Meanwhile, I also have the quilt this fabric came from all stitched on top. Now it needs batting, backing, and binding so I went to Dumb Jo-Ann’s to see if I could find either. Problem was, everyone else in the ENTIRE UNIVERSE also decided that Dumb Jo-Ann’s was the place to be on Friday at 4:00, so I had to fight my way through hoards of Grumpy Craft Ladies and mothers of small children. Every last one of those mothers was in that short-circuit daze that happens when you have 2-4 small, energetic kids pulling your sleeve and slamming into Grumpy Craft Ladies and flinging random things in their carts and expounding upon the benefits and drawbacks of their favorite Pokémon. Not easy to get around them when they’re like that. So I was almost relieved when I didn’t find a good indigo flannel back for my blanket, since that meant I wouldn't have to wait in the line to get it cut.
I’ll try another quilt store this week.

I am pretty sure the whole Liberry Bunny idea exploded in the hangar, just to reassure y’all. At least, I am HOPING it did. I’ll let y’all know if it ever rears its ugly head again.

And finally, check out what happened last week when the burrito I was microwaving exploded and sent molten cheese at me!
That’s the skin on the inside of my forearm, just below the wrist, and this is after a week. It’s amazing what cheese can do!
*I also bought a couple items from them and hope to find more in the future, because it’s perfect clothing for one of those hypothetical dolls I want. Also, quality handmade doll clothes just don’t HAPPEN on the internet. Once you have found it, never let it go.
