Recent Dollmaker Dolls
It's addictive!
Definitely my style!
The Fire element one is really my style! I wish I had the clothes!
This is actually what my residual self image looks like!
I would also totally wear this!

Sewing: Tartan Dress (updated)
Made from scratch except for collar and zipper.
Pattern:
Simplicity 1419 Lisette.
I used different sized pieces for the top and bottom half as I am not all one pattern size. I used a premade collar instead of the pattern piece, but I plan to use the collar pattern for a future dress. I also changed it to back zipper and took out the cut out at the front. It is slightly longer on me because I am short but this is a good length for me!
Flower Sack Dresses From the Flour Mills (Historical Kindness)
Another fascinating share from Melinda!

Inktober Part 3
18th October: A Dysir, my impression from Freda Warrington's Elfland. They are like a kind of nightmarish guardian made of shadows. A lot of them form dog shapes, but mine is in a kind of half formed stage, where it just sort of slinks around like mist.
19th October: Tiles on the little side table
20th October: Dutch ceramic cow milk jug
21st October: Allergies
23rd October: Sickness
24th October: Gravestone. I was feeling pretty sick!

24th October: Some dress ideas

The Incredible Nursing Cat
After being seriously ill, he was adopted then nursed back to heath by a
vet in Poland. He now comes into the clinic every day as he has taken
it upon himself to comfort recovering animals, including gently resting
on them, warming them, spooning them, and cleaning their ears.
