Saturday was a good day: Sisters

I always look forward to Saturdays. I get to wake up late, do sewing projects, and go out to buy sewing/rabbit supplies or do errands. I also get to spend time with the boyfriend since we can’t meet on weekdays (bah mid-shift schedule).

Last Saturday was a bit more special though. The doll (yes, a doll!) package I ordered from Ms. Winnie Rose Reyes arrived on our doorstep. Yay! I have to admit, I was pretty nervous about this delivery through Air21 thing. There were several horror stories about their services and I was worried that they wouldn’t find our house. Fortunately, the package arrived safely - and on time!

Of course Lilith was there to see the ‘unveiling’ of her sister.

Happy Doll Threads is Ms. Winnie’s online shop for Pullip, Dal, Blythe, and Taeyang accessories. I believe she also sells made-to-order plushies, plus some other art related products. I ran into Ms. Winnie’s Wordpress blog and Multiply Account a few weeks ago after lurking through Pullip Pilipinas. I found out that she’s selling a Volks Neo EB doll at a discounted price, so I happily jumped in and made the order.

First thing I noticed about the package is the huge bubble wrap. I’ve never seen a bubble wrap in this size!  *must resist popping bubbles*

The package included some freebies (thanks Ms. WInnie!):

Socks! Lilith and her sister needs these since I still can’t figure out how to make shoes for them. I used this one as a pattern to make my own doll socks. Its pretty easy to figure out the pattern, so I hope I can have a few pairs done before weekend.

The package also have some pairs of eyewear for my dolls. I’m not into shades, so I guess these things will stay in their plastic bag for a while.

Now, say hello to Gaea!

My little girl is nude! Gaea’s a Volks Neo EB-Body, Medium Bust (you call THAT medium?), Natural Skin tone. If her bust’s medium, then Lilith’s bust is probably small. 

I  made her wear her temporary clothes (handstitched my moi) so she wont be too cold at night. I’m currently stitching up matching dresses for these two, after that I’ll do a mini shoot for them.

Gaea’s face-up was done by Ms. Winnie. I have to admit, I wasn’t really pleased with her face-up at first. I wanted her to have a face similar to Lilith. When I got her first photos, she looked too Barbie-ish for me. No worries Ms. Winnie, I’m starting to like her face-up more. I figured she shows a more ‘human’ look compared to Lilith - now I’m thinking of doing a photostory series of some sort.

What do you think?

PS. Sorry for the doll nudity. Peace!
