LDoll 2012 aftermath

LDoll festival was held in Lyon last weekend. As you may know If you saw my last post I participated there as a private seller, sharing a booth with Khrestel aka. Hooked. I had my side of the table named Yarnstack, which is also a name of this blog and my Etsy. Yay!

As you can see I didn't have too much stuff to sell, but I was still quite pleased with what I had managed to prepare in a short notice - It wasn't too many months before LDoll when Khrestel asked me if I'd like to share a table with her. I was very happy about the option anyway!

I noticed that I should have made more and different hats in different sizes. Now most of my hats were for tinies and many people asked for bigger ones, or different color or shape. :D
But now I know what to do for next year!
Pukipuki size wasn't the best go with the knit wear either. I might be alone with this love for tiny dolls. x) Next time I know to make more for bigger dolls too.
Those funny animal hats were good product, I sold 10 of my 14 hats on the first day. Sunday was more quiet in all the ways, but I was still only left with two hats to bring back home. I have more leftover Pukipuki dresses and pullovers thought. I'll be listing them to my Etsy soon. :)

All in all the LDoll festival was really nice experience again. I bought a bunch of clothes from different sellers to my dollies. Also I'm very happy that I found a pretty pair of Enchanted dolls eyes for Misa. She got two new wigs too from Jpop Dolls, what a spoiled dolly! @__@ Not to mention about the clothes she got.

Crochet hat is made by me. :3
I bought one doll too. Or it might not be counted as a real BJD, but who cares!
Sir Derpington is the coolest fish ever!

Sir Derpington I
Presenting you; Sir Derpington!
I passed the booth once only looking at these creatures and thought "Nooo I don't need one of those, I have Derpster already...". But I just couldn't get over these creatures and I had to go back to get one. :D This is an artist made doll, the creator is called pandalilou. Or Tendres Chimeres as their blog is called. Pity that their blog is in French! ;__; Luckily she has also dA.
I'm so happy with my little fellow. :3 Illves already agreed that she can do the painting job for Sir Derpington. I can't wait to have him finished! I think I want him to be turquoise or something with some cool pattern. And then black top hat and little monocle.
I have to go shopping for fishbowl for him and decorate it in appropriate way for a Sir fish. u__u

LDoll gave me also a final push towards my small dolly dream, Blue Fairy tiny!
Particularly a Pocket Fairy Taro girl with sugar body. I ordered her yesterday. :3
I bought a set of clothes, two wigs and two pairs of shoes in Pocket Fairy sugar size from LDoll, so of course I need the dolly too. u__u
There  was Taro for display at Blue Fairy's booth at LDoll, but sadly they didn't have any for sell there. Only baked cuties, but I prefer NS so I had to order my little one afterwards. :)

I have been secretly adoring cute sugar sized girlies after I have seen them in pics and IRL too. I'm quite sure that Elina's and Jesmo's little cuties have had some influence on me. u__u Not to mention Xaya's army of Blue Fairies in particular. Maybe someday I'll get a bigger Blue Fairy too. :)
Sarang would be cute.

Soo anyways! Enough mumbling.
I took more pics too, you can see them at my Flickr

Thank you everyone for being so awesome! <3
I have already started planning for next years LDoll and what kind of knit and crochet stuff I should make this time. Nothing has been decided 100% yet, but at least I'm totally going there and if everything goes ok I'm participating as a private seller again with some fellow Finns!

Do I really have to wait for a whole year before next LDoll?!? DD:
