Just a quick blurb (or widget) with my newer listings on Etsy.  

Feel free to check em out!

Wow, stuff is selling way better than I expected!! :D

YAY! At last!

(I’ve only gotten 4 things up so far but I have more to follow later this weekend) Check it out if you get the chance and please add me to your favorites :)

At last! Things are coming together! :D

It looks like by tomorrow afternoon I should have some goodies listed in my etsy shop. I’m excited about this (very much so!) and hope that the photos I took today will come out well enough to use. Tomorrow I’ll post food goodies, and then if I can manage it, some of the other props I have made & ready to go (books, plants etc).

Keep an eye out! I’ll post as soon as I have stuff!! :D :D :D

Ok!!! Here’s the first couple of lots I’ve managed to take photos of. We’ve got furniture, props, and more furniture.

Click the image for a larger version. Any questions just ask or email me.

Shoe Racks (the orange is a 2 piece set, the grey is a 3 piece set) Shoes, dolls & room-sets are not included)

Weird Robots (for 1:6)

More Furniture: Tables, Chairs etc.

So thats it for now until I take some more photos!

Yep.  I’m still around…I’m making slow progress on the furniture sorting. I suppose I should just be glad I’m making progress though. It’s been hard to go through the boxes of furniture and to be brutally honest with myself about what I want to keep vs. what I need to keep.

*sigh*

I think it would bother me less if I knew I had no use for the stuff. They’re all items that I planned on priming and then repainting so they’d look good and/or fit in with my vision of certain room sets.

Anyway, maybe over the weekend I’ll get around to snapping some photos and posting them here for y’all to see. If I don’t get any reasonable offers then I’ll flog them on the boards. Ugh. Make me offers folks. seriously.

Yes. I have acquired a mess of “stuff”  that I won’t be taking it with me when I go (to the states, not the here-after of death).  I’m going to begin separating the stuff this week and I figure it will probably take me about 2 weeks.

I’m going to ditching  the following stuff:

• fabric
• 1:6 furniture
• 1:6 props

• I may ditch a few of my dolls/figures as well but I’m not sure at this point.

The majority of stuff is likely to be the doll furniture & varied props.  I want to narrow it down from 13 A4 sized paper boxes (furniture/props) to about 3 max. The doll/sewing  fabric needs to get whittled down from an over abundant 10 boxes to whatever I could comfortably fit into a smallish suitcase.

Yea, I know I’ve spent the last 3 years collecting this stuff—but—most of it isn’t special enough for me to go through the hassle of

1) shipping it home

or

2)incurring the cost and expense of crating it home. (This is an ongoing dialogue between M & myself about what we really NEED to take with us vs. what’s “habit”.   Hey I can easily & freely admit I’m a pack rat, but M has a problem (although he has 40 yrs worth of stuff spread between here and his folks place). Besides, I believe the occasional re-boot/total clear out is good for the soul.

After all, at the end of the day, it’s just stuff.

SOOOOoooooooooooo…..If anyone is looking for anything in specific (furniture/props/fabric) post a message and let me know. If I’ve got it I’ll let you know what I’m after (more than likely just a few bucks+postage)

I’m back. ;)

I’m not doing a whole lot at the moment w/ relation to making things for the 1:6 hobby.  With that said,  I am still working on my photostory scripts (I managed to write another scene this week which makes me  happy).

I think I may be taking a mini break from the actual customization process until some things here level out. Plus,  I need to overhaul my “craftroom-office” since we hope to get the house on the market next month and in its current state no one will be impressed. (It really IS that bad looking at the moment. Fabric, dolls, heads, re-ment, books, clothes etc have exploded all over the place).

But I’m here, and as I work on things I’ll post them here. (I may also post some stuff that I am planning on getting rid of (mostly doll furniture and clothes etc).

Before I go and post this up on the boards, I thought I might as well post it here on my blog. (after all, anyone who reads this might as well get a break, right? LOL) If you see something you want drop me an email at corsetkittenATgmail.com ;)

What I’ve got on offer:

CY girl or PB / triad heads: (no body included just the head)

Triad Head

Blonde PB head

brunette new version PB head

Also:

2 tall FR bodies (these were from LD Kyori)
2 tall FR MB bodies (from MC Ayumi & one of the Erins)

D’oh! I’d uploaded these to flickr and forgot to post pics of them here….

Sooooo until I snap some new pics of the clothes *that I have been trying unsuccessfully to sew today* these will have to do for entertainment! ;) They aren’t good pics, but they’re better than nothing :P

PB Kat repainted… She needs a name since I think I am keeping her…

Blonde PB head (same face mold as PB Kat)

Triad Blonde
I have one of these left that I am contemplating actually doing some modification work on. I hate the fact that the eyebrow scowl is molded into the plastic. I may try sanding it down on the “spare”.

Ok, further on from the list (earlier today)

I managed to get 1 Otaku  and 1PB head repainted.

Despite Max’s attempts to move into the 1:6 living room… I still managed a few pics!

I’m not super thrilled with either repaint, obviously my lack of practice is showing.

However, if I am being fair, the photos of the otaku re-paint don’t really do it justice.And ok, another thing…I will admit to finding the Otaku an easier head to paint than the nasty PB head! *kicks pb head*

I definitely need to get back to practicing. I think I’ll go back to working on obitsu for a while since I have a bunch of blank heads handy.

A couple days ago (–maybe last weekend even?) I managed to paint 2 of the PB heads that I bought on ebay a while back. I had painted them but one was cross-eyed and the other just didn’t look right so I ended up wiping their faces and trying again. I can definitely say they are better this time around and that I actually like the one with blue eyes (I feel very satisfied with how those came out) but not as pleased with the green eyed girl. She’s nice, don’t get me wrong–but I just don’t feel she got the same sort of spark as Blue-eyes.

Anyway, quick pic of Green eyes–

––

And for a few pics of Blue eyes *who I don;’t know why exactly, I feel is much more photogenic than Green eyes*

Well I have been busy the last couple days (ok more if I am honest!) I have been doing a bit of this and that and still struggling to learn my way around the sewing machine…I really wish the manual that came with it was more instructive :?

I made the black “turtleneck” that the “sisters” are wearing, as well as a few other shirts…and 2 pairs of jeans that are for my volks go guys.

Anyway, I finished making the couch cushions yesterday for both the orange and blue couches. I need only sew them closed on the side I stuffed them–which I’ll probably do tomorrow. (That’s hand sewing and I do hate it with a passion!) I painted the base of the blue one–but am not sure if i will bother with the orange one as I think I want the base wires to be thicker–more like tubing.

Will update more tomorrow.

I’m doing my best to make up for the time I lost last week! (ok and the one before that too)

 I’ve been busy putting books together and trying to get some stuff ready for sale. Right now I’ve got my books grouped into different categories….I decided that if its not a paperback or hardcover book that is text only, that I should try to include between 2-4 printed pages (images) so that they can be propped open and just be cooler than those plain ‘ol books like that. It’s kind of a PIA to do it though because it means I can’t pre make my insides until I know which books I am making. *I know, I know–just make all of htem and stock pile…is probably what I should do)

Regardless…..

I’ve got to say that the #1 BEST THING about making the books……..is that any of the “rejects” are mine by default! hehee!

Ok so my categories of books so far: (meaning that these are books I actually have in possession)

• Historic Fiction
• Crime Fiction
• Horror Fiction
• Fantasy
• Sci-Fi (mostly star trek and cyber punk stuff)
• cook books
• fashion
• travel *travel guides* ;)
• History
• art–coffee table type books
• art: instruction books (ok I don’t have a hell of a lot of those since I don’t tend to bother with them! LOL)
• Biographies

Well there are a few others but they aren’t all that many so I don’t want to classify them separately.

Anyhow, my mock ups came out really well today so I’m feeling encouraged to keep at it. If nothing else I’ll have an awesome collection! Heh heh heh! :D
