Knitting for Luna

I finally made Luna some clothes so she didn't have to run around naked. I used my phone to take pictures so they didn't turn out too good. It is a good camera phone but my hands tend to shake some so it takes a blurry picture. Plus, my house has horrible lighting so I have usually have dark pictures. 

I had patterns for the top that I re-sized to fit Luna. The pants pattern came from Fiona McDonald's Knitted Fairies book. 

Here she is again in the Cherry Tree.

I just made up the pixie hat as I knitted it. It came out a little tight so if I make another I will have to had a few more stitches.

This so far is my favorite outfit. I don't know if it is the thread coloring or just how cute it turned out. I had a pattern for the dress that I altered but I just made up the hat as I went. I do plan on resizing this outfit and trying to make if for petite blythe to sell at my Etsy store.

One of these days I will get a better camera and make better scenes to take these pictures. 

Well at least she has a couple of outfits to change into. I do plan to break out the sewing machine soon and made some more but it is just easier to get the yarn and knitting or crocheting stuff out then the sewing machine.

My new Nabiyette-- Luna

Nabiyette from Garden of Dolls

I recently got a new doll. She is my 1st BJD and I just love her!! She is a Nabiyette from Garden of Dolls. She has a white complexion, blue eyes and is 5 1/2 inches tall. I have decided to name her Luna. This is the 1st of my dolls that I have decided to name. This may start a trend and I will have to come up with names for my other dolls.

My Luna (Nabiyette)

Here I attempted to make her a wig. I love the color on her. I thought this was too fluffy plus it just wouldn't stay on. So I will just have to re-think it and figure it out. I think I will try to put the non slip thingy that goes under area rugs to see if that will help make it stay on. 

Luna in the the knitted tree

Here she is in my cherry blossom tree. I was trying to make a tree that she could climb in. I also started a dress for her but didn't get too far. She only has the top on right now. I tend to have several projects going at one time. I had to decided to delay the clothing project to finish the tree. Though I will have to make her some clothes eventually, she can't stay naked forever!

Sakura--My cherry blossom tree

I just love Sakura but I always seem to miss our local cherry blossom festival so I thought I would create my own. I thought I would make several trees and a grass scene with a creek flowing through the trees and of course cherry blossoms blowing everywhere.  I just finished my 1st tree. I got the crochet flower pattern online somewhere, but I just freehanded the knitted tree. It's base is made of a 16 oz soda bottle with rocks to weight it down. This makes it very stable to sit anywhere. I am not too happy with the tree itself but I do like how it sits anywhere. Oh well, practice makes perfect so maybe I do better on the other trees.
