Thank you and thank you GRIN
I think i have an idea ( run for your lives)
eye lens came today ....... and i hate to say it but. i think they are to high. the 8 mm lens is 3 mm high but it just looks to high.. .....have to go drill beads and see how they go inserted but man they do magnify also. PLAYTIME !
new overlocker THE RIGHT LOOPER NEEDLE THIS TIME has arrived but after 2 hours of fudging around i still cant get the darn thing timed right. hmmmmm and hmmmmmm its either hitting needle or hitting bar to far forward or back...... why cant these things be easier to manage . I am not paying anyone $100 to time it right for me either nope i will use the remaining sanity i have to sort this out...RARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR someone hand me a coffee please.
also dug out some earing posts cause im hell bent on giving shoe earings a try even if it kills me.
yes im meant to be sorting the moulds but....... ummmmmmmm um

oh dear what have I done
Finger tips are a bit sore from sharp pins and needles
Still have to sew three more limbs and cut and sew a tail and 6 ears ( I have that extra little head to choose from) but I want to try out a little seal point face to see if the pattern still works
Good luck with the looper needle and the lenses and the moulds when you get to it
I really should fix that bjd knee and carry on with her other arm and leg and then there is ... ... ...

;D Helllooooo... Wow, you two are busy... hope all is going well with micro sewing Fantail, they will be so cute and gorgeous finished... and yes.. look at what you've done... my head is spinning with ideas on how I can make stilletto shoe earrings as well...  I so want those...badly...!!!! One of Damien's friends used PC to make himself some ear spacer thingys (I don't know what theyre really called) and he reacted badly to it, sorta ate away at his ear..  so I wouldnt want to have PC as the stem/heel... so thinking...thinking.. Overlockers are wonderful machines... but only when they are running perfect.. timing out or re-threading... arrrggh!!! changing parts..triple arrrrggghhh!!! Good Luck...!!!! Yay eye-lenses... hopefully they aren't too high once theyre inserted. Well I am dithering... ex is currently in surgery.. ( we are friends and I do care really..  ) I have a migraine.. and Jesse is home "sick" but playing Xbox LOUDLY... so not up to much myself... I'll be enjoying hearing what you two are up to though... have fun... mini eyelets sound really cool... I found some fabric currently in the form of pants I'm willing to cut up and share with those who would use it.. its a fine alligator look, very slightly metallic gunmetal colour, perfect for little shoes, boots or dragon bodies etc.. let me know if you want some.... ;D |

Slinks in stage left and slides across the stage ! I fixed it i fixed it i fixxxxxxxxxxxed it... now ive turned it off and walked away from it before i break something else. YAAAAAAAAAAAA maybe shakin my fist at it worked. i squinted at it hard to..... it must fear the westie evils stupid stupid needles and loopers and timing and screws and stupid things. just as well those overlockers are pricless when they work well. such a frustrating thing when they broke tho omg. im a patient person but for the LOVE OF GOD enough already. o that fabric sounds excellent. gees we really gotta hook up soon. i have to find my hammer cause the bangers are small and my grip dome thingie is to big for the eyelets.. hmmmm you know what im talkin bout right? and yer the PC is usually fine only if it is sealed. ive seen a few pc ear stretcher thingies around tho half them look like chuddy someone spat out tho. GROAN maybe he has a sensitivity to resins etc. poor kid. Bll does seal her pendants etc but im nto sure if she does them all BLL !! need advice with that paaaaalease Moniques down Lincon road had them quite reasonable and lots of good SS to. and yer..... i love those mini shoes to, i have silver coated earring posts if your interested (new) I dont care if i cant wear them i still wanna make them simply cause they are utterly COOL and eyes... yer ill have to drill beads before i yaa or nay them really. um what else........ummmmmm Do you have those wee rubber end of finger thinggies tails? they might help  poor girl hows the thumb doing Donna? dont worry about the Xfile his neck will be fine, he just wont be able to turn around fast for some time...............which might be a good thing you could give him a kick in the arsssssssss and he wouldnt be able to turn around fast enough to find out who did it -----GRIN bbl with coffee |

Dragon bodies -oh I really don't need any more distractions
Hope your head and family feel better soon Donna
Nope never crossed my mind to curse you for the pin jabs Blue and I won't as the furry monsters are growing on me
You'll get the over locker sorted and if the goblin doesn't have it the the little cobblers might be waiting to make some tiny shoes for you
Blue the one very fine black material you gave me might also be suitable for teeny shoes
You can have half back if you need ( I loves it so i might need to keep some)

;D I'm back.. my headache just went out with his big brother... LOL.. we bought him that car so its all I hear about... but seriously I am feeling okayish now.. and my thumb is getting better too... crikey...I sound like I need putting outa my misery.. ;D Excellent work getting the overlocker sorted...  I was hoping Bll might know if PC would be okay inserted into ears too... my nephew has some ear things and they are fine, they looked like PC to me. The other guy and his girlfriend made their own (happened to her too) but maybe they didn't seal them.. also you can get those plastic posts to put on stems too... Bll do you know?? I thought the fabric would be good for Anubis too, if the goblin doesnt let her out soon I'll just send her some anyway, she'll put it to good use... so far 4 ways..half a leg each hehe... anyone else? I should go and do something... |

ok the eyes. they look weired cause i squished in the lens in before the paint was set and it blew the pupid down the bead hole. they do need to be drilled in. but i might get the next lot much thinner. woudl get away with just leveling the bead off and stinking lens on that way. divitign them out took a bit of work and i did not get it even.

Excellent!!! cool pics to look at...
Those iddys are super gorgeous, loving all the detail, so cute and yawny boy is adorable..
ditto what Fantail said... you HAVE been busy..
Oooh look at all the lenses..
def looks better after drilling...
What a great job of the eye, that looks so good, if you hadn't been in such a hurry to try your new lenses and let it dry...LOLOLOLOL... They are going to be spot on... AWESOME!!!
Excellent idea on the hat block too, that will make your life easier..
Guess who has been trying to find shoe earrings... how easily we can be distracted... and Damien said it was highly likely that his friends didn't seal the PC spacers...

fanks lufflies............... they are so cute to make really its a guilty pleasure especially with new super iddy mini tools.lmao
and yer... no time to sit and watch paint dry ----SNORT !
I blew and blew pushed the lens and squished the pupil right in. oops. funny but they really did not magnify much at all when in.
but yer ill get the next lot in 1-2mm height. i honestly dunno if id be able to drill in beads 4 mm or 5 mm or even 6 mm etc. ill end up with flying projectiles. but with minimum glass height it would be much easier just to scrape the top off the bead and paint and attach lens. ruffing up the glass beads would help the resin to stick anyhow.
Im still thrilled the overlockers sorted honestly it was like a heated coal on my mind. now i can get to sewing also. god help me.
been a busy but productive day really. amazing how that happens sometimes.
i wanna make mini shoes to. hmmmmm maybe some dukit tho and chrome heel. hmmmmmmmm we shall see

Its strange how you can be so involved with fixing the problem and then when its fixed the real work starts
I still prefer hand-sewing to machine (even if the machine goes faster) lucky these kitties are too small for the machine
Glad you got it fixed bet you are a wiz at sewing too

The truth is tails. i really really really officially SUX at sewing small stuff. it is a really hard task for me i get my fingers tied up in threads and sew things together in all the wrong ways. it usually turns to disaster BUT. Im trying to make a real big girls effort now.
but im with you. lots of small things are just easier to hand sew. trying to sew a trim onto a 15 mm long cuff only to have the whole thing bind up in the feed dogs is never fun.
seams to be sometimes things take weeks and weeks to get threw then all of a sudden it is all done and the next round begins...
have a great evening gorgeous...

I did that today Blue, sewed things the wrong way and with the back stitch I couldn't undo it so I just hacked part of it away till I could snip through the last stitches
Patients is a virtue we strive for dayly
Hope you get the hang of the sewing and with each one it will get easier

LMAO your gonna hate me but. i made two black stilettos last night in dukit it was super easy i was quite surprised. they arent well detailed or even the same style i just wanted to play. i just used a plane craft silver earing post yes trouble found me today in the name of * sweet and sour lollies. now my tongue is fuzzy- that will learn me. sorting eye lens order again and starting moulds .blah BTW the new $2 down round the corner from the post office on lincons got some wicked body piercing posts -also stretchers . but one my dear is a long steal spike which i reckon would be brilliant for a mini heel. trouble never rests... it is always roaming |

I only had hooks, no posts so I didn't know how to make them work. I'll just have to find time to get to lincoln then.. cool as.. thank you for that..
Haha sweet n sours, Jesse caught me out with those once. Lollies are s'posed to be SWEET, I don't get how they like them so much...
Good luck with the moulds... keep out of trouble..

ok *Throws sour snake cause im sick of eatign them* but they ruff as sin ok. they would look cool if yad spend time putting mini detailing into them tho. these are only sculpted with fingernail and edge of scalpel only. 15 mins work time -only playing. i just used those plane silver earings and bend up the lid for a bit of heel support. the other two cold beadcaps might look good for a bigger shoe. or those piercing spikes pretty cool to.

so I wouldnt want to have PC as the stem/heel... so thinking...thinking..
) I have a migraine.. and Jesse is home "sick" but playing Xbox LOUDLY... so not up to much myself...
