I Had To Do Way Too Much Digging To Find This Again.

I got 12-15 dandelions minus the already white ones (like 4-5 of them). Can't help with the dress, though.

screaming because Monique’s birthday is coming up and i want to get her some pretty clothes. i’m looking to buy a pink party dress or yellow polka dot dress.

i’m also getting ready to update my dream address because it’s been 10000 years, i’m hella slow and stupid with that sort of thing. ...

What are your go-to sites for finding fabric in period prints/colours, specifically cotton? I'm starting a quilt that's going to be entirely of repro or plausible-looking 18th/19th century prints and while I've had some luck with 'traditional' collections from brands like kona, was wondering if you knew of any smaller purveyors I might look at?

Ooh, I don't think I'm the best person to ask about historical cotton prints, since I've never sewn a historical garment from a reproduction print. Someone who's sewn 19th century day dresses would probably know some much better options.

My personal favourite places to get fabric are:

Pure Linen Envy, which only carries linen.

Pursilks, which has a variety of silks, cottons, and synthetics, but they're not historical.

Burnley & Trowbridge, which focuses on historical fabrics and reproduction notions, but have barely any printed cottons.

Renaissance Fabrics, which has a few cotton prints, and some nice silks and wools.

Williamsburg also has some reproduction cotton prints, and Virgil's Fine Goods has a few as well.

However! If you want a bunch of different little pieces and are willing to do some editing, one option is to dig through Smithsonian Open Access, and The Met's collection, both of which have a huge amount of public domain high resolution images of fabric swatches & fragments, including lots of 18th & 19th century printed cottons. Some are pretty stained and ragged, but there are plenty of nice looking ones too. Make a pinterest board for them!

You could make a blank document the size of the printable area of a yard of fabric at 150 DPI, and fill it up with all your favourite fragments (cropped and resized to be the right scale) and then get it printed on a basic cotton on a site like MyFabricDesigns, ArtFabrics, or DesignYourFabric. (Spoonflower is also an option, but they print with inks, and the other 3 I linked use reactive dyes, which are more colour fast and don't make the fabric stiff and crinkly like the inks do.)

I plan to eventually make repeating patterns of some of those swatches, but it's quite a lot of work for each individual pattern, and I think you could get enough small bits for a patchwork quilt pretty quickly of you just arranged them all in one big rectangle.

I don't know if you have any photo editing programs, but if not then photopea.com works, and is one I use sometimes!

My first furby that I thrifted with his box. Finding him kinda distracted me from all other doll projects for the past week lol.

His name is Bi-lighting or Bilite for short. Might make him a little vest. If I find any more furbs I will get wilder with the customs but I wanted one "normal" one.

Yes I'm That bored

Here's my newly finished Cleo that I thrifted missing an arm, so I made her a prosthetic clipped off a discount Frankie. I always liked the sculpting on those limbs despite the lack of joints. I attached the arm by carving a slot in her arm and attaching it with an eye screw and pin.

I didn't touch her face, just added some details with paint pens. I'm not yet confident enough to use them to detail the shoes.

That being said, I'm happy how she came out, especially her arm and hair (which swooped nicely on it's own).

I hope to start posting more of my dolls here in the future!

Welcome to Kingdom Hearts, where both the clothing and stories are needlessly complicated (no seriously, you’re going to need graphs to understand the story beyond the first game...).

also I feel I should tell you guys that a friend of me persuaded me to watch a playthrough of Kingdom Hearts because I never played it and what the effity

am I enjoying this? I think I am but I am so confused and oh my god why does everything have zips this is amazing

Oh, RS Song. I just can't quit you, can I?

I kind of get a kick out of seeing a less expensive doll with a really good face-up.<

To people who are desperately asking for fundz/donations on tumblr.

USE THESE REDDIT SUBS INSTEAD PLEASE FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!!!!!!!!

Hate Reddit if you want, but using these subs are your best chance. People gather in these subs because they have charity to spare:

/r/Assistance /r/legaladvice /r/RandomKindness /r/Charity /r/care /r/Random_Acts_Of_Pizza /r/Food_Pantry https://www.reddit.com/r/RandomActsOfPetFood/ https://www.reddit.com/r/RandomActsOfChristmas/ https://www.reddit.com/r/almosthomeless/ https://www.reddit.com/r/homeless

/r/freelance  /r/povertyfinance /r/thrifty /r/borrow /r/gofundme

/r/depression /r/familysupport /r/transitions 

I never see anyone actually getting any significant donations on tumblr and to be honest, tumblr is the worst place to ask for assistance. Use it as your last resort, it frustrates me to no end seeing people begging for help, reblogging the same post over and over, the same types of posts over and over, to no avail, when people are waiting to help you on a different part of the web  GO TO WHERE THE HELP IS. IF YOU WANT DIRECT ACTION TO WORK STOP WITH TUMBLR AND USE REDDIT.

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF SATAN REBLOG THIS SO WE CAN START REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF DONATION POSTS THAT GET STUCK FLOATING AROUND THIS WEBSITE

Press Y to honk is now the new press F to pay respects
