Alyrenee's Copious Spare Time

Go Naked! Accessory Set available from Superdoll/Superfrock. Roughly $55. Comes with a nude round neck cardigan, hand-crocheted anklets, and divine stiletto courts in nude lace. All in all...it's a pretty reasonable deal from Superdoll for what is being offered. I am vaguely tempted. Limited to 100 pieces. And keep an eye on the website for more of the 2008 items...the most recent email said they will be going up shortly. The items are called No Ballet, Pride, and Mass...and there may or may not be two more called White Hot Heat and Summer...it's hard to tell with the Superfrock emails...they tend to be cryptic.

Weee....convention season. I am for sure going to Wizard World Chicago and San Diego Comic Con...I wish I could hit Philly though for some of the exclusives. Tonner will be there again and has a Arkham Asylum Poison Ivy Doll exclusive limited to 100pcs (I WANT IT)...it looks like she has flat feet too. The most recent Tonner Direct email suggests that the three collector's dolls will all be Arkham Asylum inmates. So going on that, the only Batman villains we have at the moment are Ivy, Joker, and Harley. We could potential get a Batman in the Asylum too...which might be cool. I am hoping that Catwoman makes an appearance though. That would be swell. They will also have Kyrpto and Superman along with Lois and Lana (suprise!!! they clearly kept a few back to sell at the convention). I think this is a good sign for fans of the Lana and Lois sculpt (like me...I love them both!). I imagine we will be seeing more of Lana for sure. I think Lois needs a bit of repainting but she ...

I was a knittin' fool this past weekend and finished up loads of little projects. I tore through a skein of Manos Del Uruguay Silk blend yarn and made the wavy ridge wristwarmers, flower pin, and coffee mit from the One Skein Wonders book. Pics to come shortly. I also started the be-ribboned baby booties form the book too but I ran out of yarn before I could finish...so now I have to hunt down another skein. boo. I also finished the yellow lace mat from my recently purchased Georgian Sampler pack from Knit Picks. My next project is to try Two at a Time Socks using the Knit Picks Felic in self striping yarn. I bought Coney Island, Gelato and Provence! After staring at the directions a couple of times and watching a Magic Loop How-to video on YouTube , I think I finally have a clue as to how this works. Plus, it will be swell to have both socks finished at once for a change. I just need to hunt down some reinforcing yarn for the heels. Though I am loathe to go into a knit ...

And so it continues... Beazabout Doll Store has a Sydney BJD up for preorder for $550, limited to 100 pcs. They also have a Viktor Dreary with a fun white streak in his hair and a long black pinstripe suit but no price up for it. I still need to get a Viktor...I wanted to buy one at the convention but had not a second to walk around the sales room. Ugh.

Good deals here...I am sorely tempted to get another Mary Jane doll...and I don't have the Mina...if anything these are fairly cheap bendy wrist body donors...and Mary Jane comes with an outfit AND the new saddle stand. Grrr...i might have just talked myself into it.

They have a nice sale on over at Fashion Boulevard . The shoes are always killer with these outfits. I am tempted to nab one of the space numbers for Luna.

I caved and registered for the Halloween Tonner Convention 2008 . I will be getting a table again assuming the price isn't crazy and hopefully I will sell a bit more this time. But I still did pretty well considering it was my first outing. There will be a new head and body sculpt for the convention doll. I cannot wait to find out what that is! I hope there is another DC event and something with little Agnes Dreary. **Update- Miss Nancy from Tonner said that they expect registration to be sold out by Monday! So get it will the getting's good, yall. I am really excited for this one. Halloween is totally my bag and I cannot wait to create a bunch of spooky themed stuff to sell. Plus the competition categories are sure to be fun.
