Alyrenee's Copious Spare Time

Stumbled upon a copy of this in the college library today. I was very excited. Why no one has re-issued this book is beyond me! I just started reading it and I'm hoping ti will be most helpful with the Master Knitter program.

Including several of the fabulous Sinister Circus dolls! Oh why must I be so broke?

Well.. mostly finished . I have a button to sew on...but I consider it done! Buttons to be sewed on during rehearsal this evening. I will be wearing this tomorrow! From Knitting

Weeee! Done! From Drop Box

Please consider sponsoring me for the Chicago MS Walk 2010 ...or join me for the walk! I will be knitting something orange and walking...

Very cute...

Just got my newest issue. Rough thoughts.... Love the Aran Necklace Camisole... , Double V Cardigan , Rose Window beret , and the Mona's Jacket (nice and fast knit I bet). I think i will actually knit the Tissue Cardigan as I already have the yarn in my stash and it looks like a fun challenge. I take issue with the issue however. Are there no lights at Interweave Knits? Why is EVERYTHING taken in the dark? It's depressing and I cannot see what is happening with the knitting. Grumble.

Gwen and Captain Jack look wonderful. I wish David Tennant's hair was more like Edward Cullen's though. On the Twilight front, the Jacob doll looks really good. Also, it looks like we are getting Harry Potter dolls on the smaller Marley 12" body...so like them as kids from the first two films. The Sinister Circus stuff is killer and will take all of my money. Huntress looks wonderful! I believe she will be a Chicago C2E2 exclusive. I cannot tell if that is a new face sculpt. It sort of looks like Wonder Woman. The costume is great and really accurate. Harley ...meh. I would have liked a more unique outfit. Or maybe I would be more tempted by an all pleather version like the Catwoman Deluxe. I don't think this outfit makes her worth the price. Though of course I will happily try to get her on sale. They also need to make a Joker figure on the larger body to go with her though. I adore Power Girl ! But where are the men? Hawkman? Green Arrow? Flash? ...

You should come . I will be volunteering. Bring some clothes and a bit of cash and take home some more awesome clothes.

Me wants it . It's sold out online though. Boo...luckily Oakbrook Terrace Sephora still has them. I absolutely ADORE Benefit makeup. The High Beam highlighter is fabulous and the Hula Bronzer is the best out there in my humble opinion. I need to get a nice giftset with the Benetint too when I have some more cashola. I recently splurged on the Celebutante set for travel purposes and it was wonderful. I think it will be my wedding makeup actually...or at least the touch up travel kit coming with me to the reception.

Weeee! I got a nice review !

Not too shabby ...looks like he is on the superhero 17" male body. Either that or they have made a beefier arm sculpt for the regular Matt 17" body.

Doll store Two Day Dreamers just reported that the BBC has finally approved Tonner's Torchwood and Doctor Who dolls...FINALLY! Ugh but now to come up with the cash to get these...sigh.

This lady's work is stunning ...these resin dolls are greatly anticipated. I cannot wait to see what she presents in way of dolly temptation.

I love the new shoes for Ellowyne. The Visiting Frogmore Evangeline is gorgeous!

So for my 2010 Alyrenee Upgrade...I have decided to do the TKGA Master Hand Knitting Program. I got my materials today. Very exciting...feel free to join me!

I nearly missed this bit...the fabulous Madame Myst is a TonnerDirect.com exclusive.

Let me know what you think..I am still looking. The biggest and not unwelcome surprise is that the collection is "made to order"..meaning they want have piles of this stuff going on uber-clearance a year later. That also effectively means I probably cannot get any of it since I rely on the clearances heavily. Cami & Jon Collection Cami looks like a variation on the Cinderella head sculpt to me who I think looks like a bitchy high school cheerleader. No really that tempted. The outfits have a more youthful edgy look but thus far I think i can resist. The images for Jonquil aren't there yet...I keep you updated. Update! Jon will evidently be a variation on the Jaq face sculpt for the Antoinette body. Here's a link to some photos by George !
