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!

Picture of my side of the table.

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.

Misa with her new ED eyes, and a pretty shirt made by Uninu!
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!

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:

LDoll is getting closer...

And I'm so behind with my plans! D:
I won't have too much things to sell there. Buut I'll be happy with what I can finish on time and won't be upset about it. (At least not too much.) I knew that this will be a busy period for me anyway, but I decided to attend LDoll as a seller since I was asked. I'm sharing a booth with Khrestel, so it's not so bad if I don't have so much stuff to sell. :)

I'll share with you some preparation things I have done!

Best thing first!

I got my minicards from MOO!

Backside!

I like these so much. These I ordered from a promotion that MOO had with Etsy, thus the Etsy logo. :)
I also ordered another set with different pics, but that one has not arrived yet. It should arrive before 25th of September according to the company, so they will still make it before LDoll.
I thought for a long time what text to put in the card. And if I should insert my real name or not. Well, there it is now. @__@

At least I can hand out cards if I don't have anything to sell? 8D

Displays!

Here is some displays that I got online. They are actually jewellery displays, but I think they will work quite ok for my needs. :) I also bought huge amount of barbie cloth hangers! x) They work well for my tiny clothes.

I think I will use that round display for Pullip/Dal dresses, and the other one for tiny BJD clothing. Pukipuki things to the upper row and Pukifee to down. :) Thought I only have two Pukifee dresses so far. :S I got a bit carried away with the Pukipuki stuf. :D
Gasp! Hurry, hurry! Knit! Knit!

What comes to displaying hats... I have no idea yet! :D Maybe I'll just put them to the table without anything special. I have been making really simple hats for tiny dollies, so I can also have some cheaper small items to sell. But I like these tiny hats, they are so cute with staring bead eyes. :) I hope that people will like them too. @__@
I'm sorry that all work samples in the pic are Pukipuki sized, I took the pic only to show the displays and didn't think that I could have shown more of my works too. :S

I have still so much to do, and so many knit pieces to finish. I run out of snap closures, so now I have maaany dresses waiting for snaps. :D And I hate sewing on snaps! u__u'
