Little Ears Hats on Etsy!

Dear Sarah,

I added four Little Ears hats to Etsy today! Two are Halloween themed, and two are feelers - these are new patterns, and I hope people like them as much as I like making them and as much as my girls enjoy wearing them.

Clockwise from top left:

Cold October Nights;   Happy Trails;   BOO!;   Crayons 

I think they're really cute, and I like the little pointed ears. I hope other Blythe mommies find them as cute as I do!

P.S. I can't wait to see other's take on the earflap hats!

P.P.S. EssHippo Blythe is now on Twitter! So go follow our Blythe flavoured tweets! We'll not only update you on the newest listing and blog posts, but also on the newest releases, and interesting bits and bobs in the Blythe world! -x- ♥

Granny Capes!

Dear Sarah,

I finally listed three of my Granny Capes in our Etsy shop! I'm so excited. It's my first time listing anything on Etsy.

First, an Aqua Cranberry Granny Cape.

I reused the colors I made for the prototype.

Orange Creamsicle Granny Cape

Inspired by my favorite orange girl, Coral.

Spring Fling Granny Cape

I found some yarn in one of the [many] boxes I have under my bed, and this one crocheted up very nicely. It's green and shimmery with slubs of pink, purple, yellow and blue. Coraline wasn't too thrilled with it, nor did she like modeling it, but the other girls adore it.

Enjoy!

New Hats In Store

Dear Jill,

What a palava with Quinns eye mech! I can see now where it was put together wrong. I'm glad you got her sorted out, and that she can now look down! It adds so much character to them, doesn't it!

This weekend I have listed 3 new hats for the EssHippo Blythe Etsy shop!

Autumnal Colours Mesh Slouchy Hat

I used some more of Wilkinsons lovely variegated yarn to make this hat - it's such nice stuff and the size of the hat make the colours repeat nicely :)

I Heart UK Pixie Hat

Inspired by all the London Olympics drama happening over here at the moment! I am tempted to keep this one...

Rainbow Mesh Slouchy Hat
A brighter ROYGBIV hat! It was lots of fun to make, picking and changing the colours

All hats are now available in the EssHippo Blythe Etsy Shop now!

Blythe 12 for 2012

Dear Jill,

I love your 12 for 2012! It took me a while, but I finally managed to get round to doing one of my own, too. Enjoy! :)




1. Blythe Boots! My girls don't have many shoes, and Blythe boots are so cute! They're a must this year!

2. Blythe Crown Like you, my girls are demanding their own crowns *rolls eyes* The search continues...

3. Make More For Blythe This includes sewing as well as crocheting. I would also like to knit some things too, but I will have to practice alot before I can get good enough to knit Blythe clothes.

4. Take One Of My Girls To New York! I am going to New York in May, and plan on taking one of my girls. But which one?!! I am also hoping there will be an EssHippo meet!

5. BlytheCon 2012, Manchester Again, hopefully this will be an EssHippo meet too!

6. More Blythe Photoshoots I really want to start taking more pictures of my girls. I'd also like to start taking them outside.

7. Make Some Blythe Sized Furniture My Grandad would have loved making me some mini furniture for my dolls, but now it is up to me. I'd really like to make some sofas and a bed! And get some wardrobes. And a table. And.......

8. Hold Back On The Spending At the start of 2011 I had zero girls. Now I have 14. I really need to cut back!

9. Rement! Or similar miniature things! It would be nice to use them for Domos too :)

10. A Clown Girl I know, I know, clowns are creepy. But I wouldn't mind customising a Basaak or CCE into a clown. I already have plans...

11. Open The EssHippo Etsy Shop!! Coming soon!!

12. Keep Up With The EssHippo Blog I would like to blog more, and possibly start some new features, like having one of my girls write penpal letters to one of Jills girls! How cute!

I don't know how many of these I will get done, but I hope atleast some will be fulfilled this year!
