Blythe Wednesday: Cosy Knits

Maybe I should do a thing with the Blythes on a Wednesday and call it Blythe Wednesday. Hrum. 

That's a bit like committing to this whole 'blog' thing (says she who is rapidly approaching 100 posts).

Aspen and Elin were fed up with wearing oversized Makie knits, so demanded some of their own.

Elin's cheerful yellow cardie is from Cannonbelle, who currently has a cute creamy version available, as well as a beautiful blue sweater that we're coveting. The dress is by me. Her shoes and the goldfish fabric are available from Chicki.co.uk.

The pink jumper and sweater combo is by Jane at On Blythe Street. As well as being skillfully knitted and sewn, both the skirt and jumper are reversible, the former being flippable to a pink polka dot design and the latter turning 180 to be a cardigan. There's a pale blue and cream set available in her shop that I'm persuading myself we don't need right now...

I'm not entirely sure that the black and grey stripy socks and skull and crossbones converse are entirely co-ordinating with the look, but I believe that is how Aspen has decided to roll.

Best thing as far as I'm concerned is that both of these shops are based in the UK. So I'm legitimately supporting the country's economy by buying fantastically finished Blythe goodies. Huzzah!

Yes yes, the photography is shocking. 

But you try shooting at 22:00 on a November night in the UK with a desk lamp and no flash and you let me know how you're getting on, yeah? Harrumph. 

Melchie vs Etsy

Hullo! Melchett here.

Since getting the new laptop (thanks, human's unattended credit card!) Plink and I have been having a good look on the internet for other things that we could possibly purchase. Today we hit up Etsy and had a rummage for some top Makie desirables.

Got coffee. Got doughnut. Got a BEAR HAT. Locked and loaded!

First up, we reckon this pattern book would make a great present for our human! Loads of trousers, shirts and coats. Apparently, if they fit the big-headed dolly with the weird eyes, they'll probably fit us.

Next, this cute little dress. I'm not so keen, Plink think's it's awesome.

A fancy jug like this would make our drinking evenings far more fun, obviously. This is hand blown glass, would you believe?! The colours! The pattents! The SIZE!

Completely astounding work by Kivaford

Oh, and we'll have this for the lab too.

Finally, here's one to break the bank...

No, it's not a daft dolly in a silly hat, it's a completely gorgeous, fully-furnished des-res of Makie proportions, with sofa, fireplace, cosy chair and curtains! Personally if I could have one bit, it would be the hat. But hey, I think I'll just press for the whole darned lot.

Right! Off to the B+Q website to buy the human some woodworking tools for her birthday. Yeah!
