It's been a while...

It's been a while since my last updates.. I have been busying with my kids and work. I used to think that I have been spending too much time in my work, rather if the time can be spent on my passions, my blog, I may be already working at home (full time)! Ha, and that's what I have been dreaming and trying to achieve of. It's a bit too late to say this, but this year in 2011, I really hope I can achieve at least, to revamp my blog, to create more items for my Etsy store. Look out for my updates! Well, I may be shifting my blog too, to host it or to wordpress, will keep you posted ;)

Here's a glimpse on some of my collections to-date.

Thanks for reading!

My First DSLR - Sony A350K

I got my first DSLR - Sony A350K and am loving it so much!

Although I am already very satisfied with my current Canon G9, which took great, clear and vibrant pictures, owning a Pro. camera like this really beats off my Canon G9.

Surprisingly, the weight wasn't as heavy as I thought it would be. This is probably due to Sony's improved grip. I am able to hold it safe when shooting.

Navigating the menus are easily accessible. I love especially how the DSLR live view works and how Sony A350K packed its Auto Focus, it is fast and accurate. With just Auto mode, I focus on my son and am able get a quick snap with his background blur, this is kind of cool to me. Of course, my comparison are against my current Canon G9 and all compact cameras which I own before.

I'm yet to test it on my Blythe dolls.

Now the next thing on my list is to brush up my skills and take great pictures like a Prof. Photographer and especially in handling Sony A350k!

New Series of Blythe Dress now available @Etsy Store

I just completed sewing a few very sweet Garden Series Blythe dress. They are now available for viewing at my Flickr Photo site and for sale at Littledot-Palace Etsy Store. I hope you like it ;)



This is my favorite piece... (took up most time to complete!)

Blythe - Bell new custom lip painting and new makeup

I mixed Mr. Color #63 and #59 for a more natural pink lip color. I took each a bean size color plus Mr.Color Thinner to dilute the paint so that I can apply easily onto Bell.

I have retouch the eye shadow as well as blushers (blushers color are mine :P)

Here's the end result and I'm quite satisfied (click image to zoom).

Arrival of Neo Blythe - Miss Sally Rice

Today I received my package from Junie Moon & Gallery. The moment I unpack her, I fall in love with her translucent skin type. This is also my first retro-themed style and vintage-like skin tone. She is fair and sweet.

Take a glimpse of Miss Sally Rice



Can you spot the difference? Miss Sally Rice in fact has a smaller face mold. Although she has great silky smooth hair, she got lesser hair as compared to other Blythe dolls that I have.

Littledot Palace Woven Labels

I have been indecisive designing my own label and was once contemplating to outsource the job to either Name Maker in U.S.A. or Lucky Label in Thailand. Finally I decided on a label maker residing in Singapore.

Here's a few of my label that I received as samples, absolutely gorgeous!

Just wanted to thank you, little shopper! I'm so excited! Can't wait to package it and post it to you soon :D Cheers!

Blythe badly in stains!

Today is Bells' disastrous day! I didn't know letting my Blythe - Bell, wearing a black fishnet tights over a few weeks will end up stains all over her leg. However hard I tried to clean those stains with thinner, it just won't disappear! If you look closer at her leg, you can clearly see that the color pigments have already eat into her skins. I seriously think that there is no way I can clean them off! [sob..]

My advice to you, DO NOT let your blythe wear dark color, tight clothing for more than a day! You wouldn't want your Blythe to end up like mine! If you really need to, make sure you will check for stains periodically or to refrain her from a humid environment and to keep her away from humid, hot/wet weather too!


This is the kind of fishnet tights that stained all over her lovely leg! Unbelievable!



See how serious it turned out to be. She look like one with deadly diseases! >.<
