<b>What are they made of? </b><br />
These beads are natural and are made by covering wood beads with crochet thread. Wood beads I use for them are unfinished - they don't have any varnish, they are no dyed or otherwise modified - it's just pure wood shape with drilled hole. Of course, I don;t make them myself, although I have idea of getting small turner's bench and making them myself. But it's just dream for now.<br />

But let's return to the beads. I cover these beads with crochet thread - I use 100% cotton thread, also natural material. I started with few colour choices, and now I can offer more than 60 different colours. But those beads can be made also with different type yarns - linen or wool, if You want something natural, or acrylic, if You have allergies to natural yarns.<br />

<b>Where can they be used? </b><br />
Crocheted beads are wonderful source for different jewelry projects.<br />
Most popular is teething or nursing necklaces - if You are Mom, You definitely know, how hard it is to wear any jewelry, when You are with baby - they love to touch everything, chew everything, play with everything. So nursing necklaces are great accessories for Moms - they looks wonderful and are safe for babies to chew, to play with - also they are easy to clean. And they are made of.... You are absolutely right - they are made of crocheted beads and plain wood beads.<br />

Size of uncovered beads are 20 mm and 18 mm.<br /> Length of the cord is ~ 1 yard (90 cm). It is also crocheted cotton cord. </a></td></tr>

<br />
But, of course, these crocheted beads can be used also in other jewelry pieces - simple earrings will add special touch to Your look, bracelet will look very cool, too. Or necklace... By the way, hre is my favorite - I made it for sale, look at it... and made one more - for myself :)<br />

There were two reasons for this. First - I have more of Monster High than I should (but less than I would like to have). They have different skntones, different hair color and hairstyle... So every outfit I make is like something totally new and exciting. <br />
<br />
Second - as You know, I have Etsy shop. This month I joined a team called "TEAM + 10". It's a "challenge for sellers that want to grow their business. Add +10 listings to your shop each month, or set your own goal!" One of my goals was to add at least 10 doll outfits. So I thought this time I could be Monster High doll outfits. <br />
<br />
So, this post is kind of gallery of my March goal in "TEAM + 10". As month is not over yet, I have only six outfits this far, but I will make more :) After all, my Claudine werewolf and roller skater Frankie also wants to be models :)<br />
<br />
So, here I present You my newest Monster High doll dress collection - all dresses are crocheted. Each dress has some matching accessorie - either headband, or belt, or bracelets... Also all of them are kind of "OOAK" (one-of-a-kind") - I don't use any patterns so I'm pretty sure I won't be able to make another same looking outfit - somethind very similar - yes, but not same. <br />
<br />
So - take a look and enjoy! <br />

Few days ago I was asked if I can make small crocheted shamrock appliques. So I tried and made some. It was fun so I decided to share this fun with other people :)
So - here is simple tutorial of cute shamrock applique. <br />
I'm not so good at writing tutorials and crocheting terms so I added pictures for each step.
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Stitches used for this applique:
<br />
Chain (ch), slip stitch (sl), double crochet (dc), treble stitch (tr).
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">So - let's start!</span>
<br />
<br />

The new year has begun. I barely have had time for myself - hobbies, crafts, life - lately. Well, let's say - I felt like robot last 6 months - my dayjob took all my resources. I can't say I did not like my job - I loved it. I still do. But I had to make decision - job or health. So I did. I have to work 2 more weeks and then I'm unemployed again. That means - I will have time for crafting and dolls. <br />
Yep, since last post here my doll "family" has grown. Total number for now - 44 dolls. I don't think this number will grow much more, but now all these "people" need clothes, accessories, space... <br />
As for clothes... I played a bit and here are some dresses for fashion dolls. Model for these dresses - Barbie Fashionista, but dresses fit also Silkstone Barbie, Fashion Royalty dolls, Liv dolls. <br />

Very many things have happened - all august I was very busy with few large custom orders and on September... well, I got a job! Real day job. I start to feel little bit less scared about how to survive. But it means also, that I won't have enough time for crafting. I work only two weeks for now and I have not made ANYTHING within these two weeks. Sad... :( <br />
<br />
But enough about sad things. Here are some great news - my doll family now has few more members :) So, let me introduce: <br />
<br />
Frankie<br />
Frankie is 11" fashion doll from Mattel company. Her full name is <strong>Frankie Stein.</strong><br />
"Frankie Stein is only 15 days old, created by her dad, a mad scientist. She has green skin, stitches, and bolts, and is new to <strong>Monster High</strong>. She is the daughter of Dr. Frankeinstein's monster and his bride (from Wikipedia)<br />
For me Frankie is adorable creature, very romantic and very girly. <br />
Here, meet my Frankie (clothes made by me :) ): <br />

As You can see - I love dolls with articulated bodies :) But it is not so important - sometimes I just like some small detail in the doll and other things don't seem important anymore. <br />
<br />
Next doll I want You to meet is from 80' (I bought her as model of 1981, but I think it's 1984 after all) - meet Sintya! <br />
Her real name is <strong>Sindy</strong> and reason I wanted her - her face impression. I cannot define what it was, but it was something special I saw. So i got her :) <br />
<br />

And my last doll (but, believe me, not for long ;) ) - well, guess what - it's a boy! I had never thought that I would buy male doll, but... at first, Frankie needed company (ok., she actually needed boyfriend), and at second... I don't know - may be it was just my weakness - cute doll, great price, articulated body... So, meet <strong>Jackson</strong> - male doll from <strong>Monster High</strong> doll series (he is only one I haven't made clothes for yet so he is posing in his original outfit): <br />

Now You have made bikini top. Only thing that has left - add straps <br />
(if You don't want it strapless) and sew on snap. <br />
<br />
<img alt="image" height="417" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-t_MKByuceBA/ThFY4Fe4nTI/AAAAAAAAASI/CI93W9Twj-4/bikini_tutorial_7.jpg" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; float: left; height: 125px; margin: 5px 15px; width: 163px;" width="450" /> <br />
<strong>Left strap for bikini top:</strong> <br />
Ch into 5th chain to the right from the middle of bikini, sc in <br />
same ch. Ch 23. Ch into 5th ch from left side, sc in same ch. <br />
<strong>Right strap:</strong> <br />
Ch into 5th chain to the left from the middle of bikini. Sc in the <br />
same ch. Ch 23. Ch into 6th from right side, sc in same ch. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><em>Variation 1: </em></strong><br />
You can also make one strap bikini top. In this case: <br />
Ch into 5th chain to the left from the middle of bikini. Sc in the <br />
same ch. Ch 27. Ch into 5th chain to the right from the middle of bikini. Sc in the <br />
same ch. <br />
<br />
<strong><em>Variation 2: </em></strong><br />
Try also using two colors to make this bikini top even more attractive. For example - crochet first three rows with one color, but last row and straps - with other. Like this: <br />
<a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&op=listing&product_id=3532918" target="_blank"><img alt="image" height="500" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/--90000--88574_product_1689807803_2_thumb_large.jpg" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; float: left; height: 160px; margin: 5px 15px; width: 132px;" width="395" /></a> <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><em>Variation 3</em></strong> <br />
If You don't want to crochet, You can just buy some of bikini's at <a href="http://www.loststitch.artfire.com/">Loststitch studio</a> or order them in colors You want!

But Barbie felt little bit upset that she did not get anything. So I just had to make something for her, too. And Barbie got new mini skirt! She was so excited that agreed to pose for my online handmade doll clothes shop. We chose light orange blouse with short sleeves - it looked great with skirt! After that Barbie posed also in striped skirt (which by the way looked great with orange blouse!) <br />

Last night things at last got better and I made some cute blouses for Blythe. As I didn't have buttons that would be small enough I used beads instead (I also ordered some tiny doll buttons from ebay - i will get them after 3 weeks). <br />
So here are Blythe posing in all three blouses. <br />

Actually I think this design and color combination would look good also on ladies, not only dolls. <br />

Also I decided to try something I've never done before - sewing. And as my Blythe girl needed something to wear when posing for new design jacket I decided to sew pants for her. As I don't have sewing machine and don't have any knowledge about constructing patterns process was... well let's say I improvised. Anyway result is not perfect, but at least I got idea and I definitely will return to sewing later. <br />
But for now - here is Blythe in her new pants posing with new jacket (also made it today). <br />

It might not look too great, but it tastes really good. You can find this type of salad in almost every supermarket and canteen here. But it is most delicious when home made. :) <br />
<br />
And the best of all is that You can replace ingredients and still get great result. For example - You can replace sausage with lean ham or even with chicken fillet. Or You can replace carrots with beetroot - it's also very popular variation of this salad here. You can even don't use eggs at all. <br />
<br />
I make this salad quite often - it's easy and delicious! And my boyfriend likes it very much. <br />
<br />

3-4 big potatoes <br />
2-3 carrots<br />
1-2 eggs <br />
150 g canned peas <br />
1-2 pickled cucumbers <br />
200 g boiled sausage <br />
Dressing: <br />
mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, salt, pepper. <br />
<br />
1. Wash potatoes and carrots, boil (don't peel before boiling). Hard boil eggs. Cool all these ingredients.<br />
2. Peel boiled potatoes, carrots and eggs. <br />
3. Dice all ingredients (except peas, of course) in small pieces (~1 cm in diameter) and stir all together. <br />
<br />
4. Make dressing - stir together 1 part of mayonnaise, 1 part of sour cream, 1/2 teaspoon mustard. Add salt and ground pepper, and a pinch or sugar. <br />
Add dressing to ingredients, stirr well and put in refrigerator for 1-2 hours. <br />
<br />
Weight watchers variations: <br />
For those who is loosing weight or don't want too much fat in their food: <br />
- replace sausage with lean boiled meat or chicken fillet; <br />
- use low-fat mayonaisse or don't use mayonaise at all, replace sour cream with joghurt; <br />
- don't use eggs or instead of eggs use boiled cauliflowers. <br />
<br />
Bon appetite! <br />

Barbie </em><br />
<em>Barbie is a fashion doll manufactured by the American toy-company Mattel, Inc. and launched in March 1959. American businesswoman Ruth Handler is credited with the creation of the doll using a German doll called Bild Lilli as her inspiration.</em><br />
<em>Barbie is the figurehead of a brand of Mattel dolls and accessories, including other family members and collectible dolls.</em> <br />
<br />
When I was a kid I did not like to play with dolls - may be because there were only "baby born" type dolls available and I hated those. When I got my first (and only one) Barbie doll I was in heaven. Fact that she was not original Mattel and used to lose all her extremities (including head) did not bother me much. What I loved about her - I could dress her up like real girl, real woman. <br />
<br />
Now I've grown up, but still like to make clothes for Barbie dolls. Here are some of my latest creations for Barbie doll. <br />
You can also buy them - visit my <a href="http://www.artfire.com/users/loststitch"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Artfire studio</span></strong></a> or <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LostStitch"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Etsy shop</span></strong></a>! <br />

I'm forum lurker... I do not post too often, but I love to read. Every morning I start with cup of coffee and reading new posts in some forums. Etsy forum was one of them. But now Etsy has decided to shut down forum as way to communicate and make people to join small "teams". Sad... I'm not "team" person so this won't work for me...<br />
Still people who don't want etsy community be splitted in small "teams" have created <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.unofficialetsyforums.com/">Unofficial Etsy Forums</a></span> where everyone can join, chat and lurk :) Hurray! Check it out, join in and have fun!KikamoraCraftshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05291385408737441615noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-201843178567347681.post-16796714585778714492011-01-28T01:31:00.000+02:002011-01-28T01:31:41.702+02:00"Happiness in winter" - treasury on etsyHere is very beautiful treasury "Happiness in winter". <br />
