For Tibi.

Still need to finish the necktie & sleeveless shirt. Didn't have much time to sew this weekend, buuuh.

I've sewn some socks for Yuki.

I love how a simple sock does so much for an outfit.

It doesn't match with her dresses at all but I like them anyway. ^^

For Marcos.

Finally I had to make separate pieces, it was too tight to fit as a onepiece and front closure. If you want I can try to use a back closure separating the collar in two and make it as one piece. Also the sleeves were too tight.

As you can see, his big belly fits too tight, haha. I have to add more space for snaps. :P

Let me know what you think! ;)

Class 107 51994 + 59791 + 52011 departing Glasgow Central ECS on 25/02/89.

Because everybody deserves to feel special for one day.

Hurrayyyyyyy! A dream doll!

This is Pleats Please Licca, a collaboration with a fashion designer, Issey Miyake, limited to 1,000 dolls. She's from the Power of Toy project. Original retail was ¥26,500 which included a ¥1,250 donation to Unicef.

Gladly I did find her for less than half of her original price. Apparently her dress can do all sorts of wonders, so I will have to experiment with the different ways you can style it soon.

I'm not sure what collectors thought of her hair, when browsing Japanese blogs I did see some comments saying her hair was strange (based on auto-translate :P), but I personally adore this style! The widow's peak and braided buns are the best. The only thing is, I have to be so careful not to disturb her hair which is very difficult when taking her head off of this body and putting it on a Neemo body! =P

I'll need to take more photos soon!~

Class 108 53964 + 54247 at Doncaster on the 15:43 Scunthorpe - Leeds on 05/05/89. This was allocated to Chester and at Doncaster to visit the works but was pressed into service due to the failure of a Pacer.

My custom built Prim Sport "Igen" (1st Generation) and a few of my other watches, photographed on Saturday, November 24, 2012.

This will be the travelling bunch, plus maybe a Licca to chaperone the boys. XD

I'm preparing some clothes, pullrings and felties for our table. It's going to be a very busy weekend!

Can't wait to see all my dear friends!! See you soon!!

Class 128 DPU 55994 at Manchester Piccadilly on a service - Mayfields on 21/02/85.

Please give a warm welcome to Yuki!

She's my first 1st Gen Repro Licca and I couldn't get any luckier with her.

My dear friend Yuki/killerTomato_73 was so so so kind to help me get this gorgeous girl on YJA.

She even came to me with this amazing kimono!! Also brought a Takara stand and a pair of high heel red shoes. O_O

I'm now the most happiest person on earth. ^______^

A millon thanks Yuki for letting little Yuki to choose me. ^^

It was made to fit Licca of all types, specially 1st and 2nd Generation (in the pictures). It also fits Blythe but way more tight and short.

Uploading belated pics.

My computer died and I was working with a crappy monitor, so I didn't want to edit any photos. Now I'm using our old MacBook, which is really better.
