I Finally Made Something on My Sewing Machine

I've had my sewing machine for 2 years now. I never really knew what to do with it. I attempted to use it once, and then I just let it collect dust.

I don't know what inspired me, but I took it out a few days ago, and began messing around with it. After a few setbacks, and almost losing a finger, (LOL, J/K) I made my first dolly! I named her Missy, (aka www.boopsiedaisy.etsy.com )after a dear friend of mine, who, well, makes the most wonderful dolls in the world. AND I know how much she loves dollies with blue hair!

The dolly is far from perfect, but I am soo impressed with myself! AND so happy too. Part of me still actually can't believe that I made something with a sewing machine.

I thought I would line up all of my vintage dollies and take a picture of them! I believe that most of them were made in Japan. I just can't get enough! Some are from my mom. Some are flea market finds. Some are from Ebay. There's even more on the way!

Do you collect these kinds of dolls? I would love to hear from you.

Also, there is a designer from Japan who designs these dolls. Here name is Ayumi Uyama. The dolls are calls Osyalle Style Dolls. They are almost impossible to find in the US. If you know where to find these dolls, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Her website is: http://www.ayumiuyama.com/ It's all in Japanese, but the pictures are to die for! Free desktop wallpaper too!

I posted more of my pics on my flickr account if you're interested: http://www.flickr.com/photos/reyney



I call this photo "The Wedding Party".
