Alyrenee's Copious Spare Time

Oh how I want these DC Cover Girls statues.... Zatanna and Wonder Woman . Not to mention that I want ALL of the Heroes and Ladies of the DCU busts. I currently only have wonder woman...but really all of them are required. ALL OF THEM!

And yes I did say "sale" and "£200.00" in the same sentence...but she was originally £248.00. Perhaps they are making room for the two remaining dolls we saw in Haute doll: the bride and nurse innoquii?

Yes....I liked twilight. But what I really loved was the wonderful costume design in the film. As a costume designer myself, doing costumes for teens is really tricky...and these kids looked like real teens. I loved everything about the design for this film and I especially loved the swell mittens. So in your copious spare time, you can make a pair for yourself! And check out EW's feature on some of the costumes from the film.

I am quite fond of the Interweave Knitting Galleries . Getting to see the knitwear on non-model bodies is oh so helpful. I am now completely in love with the Diminishing Rib Cardigan . I think it needs to be made.

Doing some dolly spring cleaning to make way for the impending rush of Tonner dolls from the convention. Weee! All this stuff is from a non smoking but cat friendly home. Shipping not included in the price. Paypal, US Postal money order, or checks are fine. References on ebay under alyrenee. I will ship international and I have some trades wanted at the bottom of the list...I am working on getting all of these uploaded to my show and sell gallery. I also have some randomness on ebay. http://www.thedollpage.com/showsell/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=228 Wigs: Silver Bob Fashion Blvd $10 Black cherry flip bob $10 Lord Asriel Wig $8 White short angled bob $10 $50 Evangeline Ghastly Wig Collection of 3 NRFB MSD/American Model Black Cherry long $15 Nudes: Music Video Awards Alex $15 Firecracker Alex $15 Wheat Blonde Club Jane $25 Dressed Dolls: -Energize Emme in Lavendar Pjs set $30 -Living Dead Dolls Club Mez Penny Signed $50 -Absolutely Aspen $90.00 -Shimmering Rose

Woot. More swank wear from Ficon for your dolls.

Dolls Magazine is really stepping up their game. I used to consider this the 'old lady' doll magazine. But I have been very impressed with their digital versions and I think I am going to subscribe. They have some wonderful interactive features and interviews. Very cool and eco-friendly too!

I just got my Antoinette ...i love her. What a stunning body sculpt on this doll and the pose-ability is great. She feels very different than tyler. I cannot wait to sew for her...

Epically good sales at Cherished Friends on dolls/outfits for Marley, Agnes Dreary, Alice, and Tiny Betsy.

Sales a plenty on older Ellowyne Wilde items at Wilde Imagination . They also have free shipping until March 31st, 2009 with the promo code EBC. Somewhere Under the Rainbow for $55.60 is tempting me...must resist.

I bet they scored these during the factory sale...I would have been tempted by Wonder Woman...but they don't have her. Still those are some awesome deals . I am quite fond of the Supergirl.

I am soooo excited about the new Knit Picks exclusive tools. Finally some sock blockers I an actually afford! They also have a ball winder for $20 too...I already have one but this is super affordable!

Spring Knitty has sprung! And don't forget to check out the new Knittyspin section too! Here are my favs... Reverie Beret Aeolian Shawl Decimal Cardigan Absinthe Socks Ripple Scarf I think I almost ready to start on my first shawl. It's taken some time but I might give one a go. It seems like a shawl would be perfect for summer knitting. I'd also like to try some beading at some point too. Perhaps I should kill two birds with one stone?

The categories are up! I plan to put entries in this year after taking a break from the last two conventions. I am looking at category #3 Families, #5 Film Noir, #6 Ellowyne in Sepia, #8 Devil Wears Prada, and #9 Super Agent Man. Hmmmmm

According to Sam, this one is all about the dress . There will also be some limited edition Sari collections on the OOAK page. Looking forward to it!

Get your mouth guards and protective gear on boys and girls...it's time for the annual pushing and shoving of the Tonner Factory Sale! I recommend watching prego for the next week for people scalping and trading their scores from this event. I keep hoping I will be able to get the FAO Wonder Woman set at the convention factory sale...fingers crossed. March 14 - TONNER FACTORY SALE - 10AM-1PM - COLEMAN HIGH SCHOOL; 430 HURLEY AVENUE, HURLEY, NY 12443 (PLEASE NOTE THE FACTORY SALE IS NOT AT THE TONNER COMPANY STORE) - Then join Robert Tonner at the Tonner Company Store for an open house and doll signing from 1:30PM to 3:30PM.

Two Day Dreamer's has announced a new exclusive ball jointed Ultimate Ashleigh . She's $570 pre-order and limited to 75 pieces. This one has painted eyes a la Sybarites and Paul Pham's Numina. She's gorgeous but way too pricey considering for that same price you could get a Sybarite with a really killer outfit. Ashleigh does come with two wigs and a complete outfit but it's not anything that tempts me. Thus far I think she is the best of the BJDs and the one that I am most interested in as the swappable eyes have never been a selling point with me. But I cannot justify that price. Perhaps if they did a Supergirl or Wonder Woman with a kick butt outfit then I would bite.

And they have free shipping on the exclusives . I sooo want to order that Women of Power Diana ...
