Maude Makes an Appearance and More PP Love

Lots and lots of things today. First, a new picture of Maude. Her "pets" are Ty Beanie erasers. Cute yes?

In other Maude news, she's debating adopting. But because of her porn star lifestyle, she's also demanded a nanny or au pair. I'm voting nanny using my veto power because really, bad things happen when you have an au pair.

And it might happen that she'll get two children and a nanny. So far, this is baby number one. She's a Hujoo baby. I'd like one of the Obitsu babies, and that WILL happen but this little Hujoo is just so damn sweet she begs to come live here. Tarquin thinks she's creepy. But like with everything, I need sales at my Etsy shop before I can make too many grand plans. After all, Maude still needs a home.

In Petite Princess Land, new pieces and a new room box. I'm pretty happy about it, this means I can take a look at the box carefully and try to reproduce it for people who can't get a box. But, all these new pieces also means that a new house is a must.
Speaking of which, while it wasn't Toadstool Studios High Rise plan, I did get my hands on TS Farmhouse plan yes, I wish badly it was the apartment house, but it's a step in getting together the patterns this company made.


So, do you want a cute corset for your dresser? This is an unwearable 1" scale corset. Only $2 for this item on my Etsy Shop - Dirty Girl Designs.

Petite Princess Love

As you might know more from personal experience than my blogging I'm a huge fan of the Petite Princess line. I only had three pieces though.

Recently I had remarked that my girlfriend had found a house in her garage attic and wanted to furnish it. I wanted to put in Arcade but she's actually starting to really eyeball the Tootsie Toy stuff and I mentioned in passing how I really liked PP. It's not to her taste though. But, a fellow group member says, "hey, I have extras give me shipping and they are your's. I figured one or two pieces. Nope. Check out what she sent.

As you can imagine, I'm giddy. I never expected this. So thank you to Maureen from the Dream Dollhouses group on Yahoo. She really shook me out of some really bad depression with this.

So far I have found four trunk patterns. I will try to post before the end of the new week.

Its a confusing question, and I'm not even sure I can figure it out, so I'll ask you smarties.

If a clothing pattern, in reduced scale, is 1/8"=1", when I blow it up on a copier, what should I use to make the patterns 1" to 1'?

Of course, this question might be worse when I haul out the scaled patterns that are slightly larger.

From left: half inch scale, three quarter inch scale, 1 inch scale, 1/6th scale

Which means this furniture I'm pretty sure is 1/2 scale!! YES!!

I recieved my set of "Re-Ment". As mentioned before, it turned out it was not Re-Ment, the seller "mislabled" the auction, and confirmed today, it is in fact 1:12 scale furniture. I'm not upset though, its a fantastic set for this scale and style, the detail is amazing, although I'm at school and haven't really looked it over yet.

But for those into more "modern" furniture than my new/vintage stuff, be prepared. Something is coming you may enjoy.

UPDATE: I don't think this is even 1:12. I'm trying to figure it out, it might be PP scale, it might even be less. Still happy with the set, just wish I knew what scale it is.
