My fake PichiPichi Licca's arrived the same day as Kin-san but they needed special outfits before they could be introduced to everyone.

I can't believe I was so lucky to get two of them. ^___^ I'm in love with they gorgeous tan and blonde hair.

These are probably the firsts dolls I bought that are "expensive" for me. In any case, it was a great price compared to PichiPichi of course! And they're soooo worthy!

Again, thank you so much dear Yuki for making this happen!!!!!!!! <3

This generation of Celica is one of a handful of Japanese imports from this era which really gets me going. The Plymouth Arrow (Firearrow) is another favorite.

Among the German imports, I'm a huge Ford Capri / Capri II fan.

Last friday we welcomed back Kin-san, Wataru and Orie-san, who came from Mikiko's Miracle SPA.

I couldn't be more happier, Mikiko's work is really MAGICAL!

Her skills are beyond excellent, it's amazing how perfectly she restored my old dollies. Now they look just like new!!

On the top of it, they came back with her more than awesome outfits!!!!

I love them all, it's so detailed and perfectly executed, I wish someday I'll be half as good as you! <3

I don't have enough words to thank you for all your magic touch.

Thank you ever so much dear Mikiko! <3

Man was I happy when I got this 10 years ago. After owning vinyl, cassettes and CDs, the thought of being able to tote 1000+ songs around in my pocket was beyond awesome. I could finally liberate all those Napster downloads from my PC. Though, as a Windows user, life was rough. No iTunes meant using a lot buggy 3rd party programs (Remember EphPod and MusicMatch?) to get your music on and off your iPod. I was so happy when iTunes for Windows was released in 2003, I called in sick at work that day. Four iPods and two iPhones later, these things have had a profound impact on my life. Thanks Steve, for making my commute, workouts, yardwork and everything else bearable for the last 9 years.

My new sewing machine is here!!! <3

Wataru and I are sooooo happy! I've been wanting to change my old machine for a while now and finally did it! I saved enough and found the one I wanted (it's the same Romina has) for a very fair price.

Now it's like sewing with a Ferrari. XD

It's so more precise and confortable to use! I still need to get the hang of it, but I'm sure it will be awesome in a few days.

Sorry for the dolly nudity, it's so hot here these days. ^^'

I'm back from Rome!

I had the greatest time ever, met all the most wonderful people, got the most lovely presents and ate the most delicious food.

Hope we could do this every month! I miss you guys!

More pics tomorrow! <3

Comments are welcome :)

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! ;)

She's Lady Licca's friend, Aya.

Adopted from Freddy, who send her with this lovely vintage Skipper outfit and shoes! Thank you so much!

She's very tall and beautiful, can't wait to make clothes for her! <3
