I hope it is not too late to wish everyone, Eid Mubarak! ^^


Sorry, I'm using the old picture of Zen and Rhea with their last year's Baju Raya as for this year I did not manage to sew them any since I was too busy. :(

Then, our group, The Dolly Carnet have successfully organized 3 activities in Kyanime 2013; handling a Doll Exhibition booth, a basic Doll Face Up Workshop (and contest), and a Kids Dolly Make Up Colouring contest. ^_^

As for myself, I only managed to cosplay only one character... without the prop. ;_;
Overall, just wait for the 3-days event pictures from me soon! Still in the editing process (Oh God... I'm so lazy!).

Now that I'm back in Sibu, I need to find a cheap portable sewing machine to proceed with my sewing commission. I had troubles in hand sewing nowadays. I feel bad to keep this project stuck on too long. :/ I don't like that 'berhutang' feel.

So yeah, see you in the next post! ^_^

Hands itchy. :D

I kinda miss the old layout though... ._.
But I get some problems browsing it using different browsers.
I hope that this one is more user-friendly though.

Anyway, this new layout is from Delicious Studio.
Thank you! ^^

2013 Events

Assalammualaikum and Good morning!

Finally I get back home in Sibu after few weeks in KL and Kuching. Tomorrow (Tonight) will be the 1st day of Ramadan. Happy Fasting everyone!

Anyway, I have been worried about few things...

I'm trying to finish a few doll clothes commission. Aaahhh... handsewing is just too slow! Few needles broke and my cat Bilem is seem to be an anti-doll. Lucky she only attack my dollies instead of Izuan's MH Boy (maybe cuz Puma is bald) .

Second... Kyanime 2013 is approaching.
Our group, The Dolly Carnet is trying to hold a 'Doll Face Up' activity for the public. However since we're quite new at this... pulling up Sponsors are veeerrryyyyy hard... Because local stores here are not too keen of Doll collectors. It is okay. I hope that this workshop can educate the public more. :) InsyaAllah... If you happen to know anyone who can help us with sponsorship (prizes and materials such as Barbie Dolls, art supplies), it would be appreciated if you could help us, please! ;___;

And oh! Besides from the workshop, of course we will be joining the Gallery booth! This year, we will be doing Fairytale theme! ^_^ Lots of display need to be done! Yikes! 

Third, Anime Gathering 2013! XD
So far, we are invited to do a Doll Walk at the Summer Shopping Mall for the Pre-Anime Gathering on 4th August. I might not be joining since I only can go back to Kuching somewhere nearing Hari Raya. But have to leave this to the rest of the admins. ^^ Ganbatte girls!!

To conclude all these... I just pray for all the best! InsyaAllah... Everything will be fine. :)

Happily Ever After~!

This morning, Hairul shared an INTERESTING new cartoon show by Mattel called "Ever After High".

Are you a Royal or a Rebel?



It is somewhat a princessy version of Monster High. :P And most of them really resemble the Monster High characters...

"Welcome to the world of Ever After High. 
This isn’t your mother’s fairytale; this is where you choose your destiny!"


I've fallen in love with them! Kyaaaa~!!! XD
The outfits are up to Lolita standard which is HOMG~ Soooo mouth-watering~! *i sound like a fashion perv*

Here, you can watch the video/ webisodes:


Great opening, great song! *o*
The royals are somekind of... stuck-up in this first episode IMO... ._.
However, I can see... Cheshire Cat, Queen of Hearts, and Little Bo Peep's daughters?


Some saw Alice! :D

Just imagine, the dolls that Mattel will produce~! *drools*
I'm so gonna get Blondielocks and Madeline Hatter! And Red Riding Hood's daughter! And... *list goes on*
Oh well... BJD plan? I don't know anymore! Haha! Seriously, I can't wait! XD

Well, I have to watch more~! Do subscribe to Ever After High in Youtube! ^_^
