Pix E Flutters - Tumblr Posts
Hey, who else remembers Lalaloopsy Girls?
Because I was finally able to find mine again, from all the way back in the olden days when they were actually in production. :)
Pix E. Flutters here needs a little bit of TLC on her dress, and I'm going to need to remake her pajamas and hair clips since I lost them, but I'm really glad that I found her.
Her color-changing hair still works, too! I stuck her in the fridge, and the pale green parts of her hair turned a bright pink in just a few minutes.
Overall, I think the Lalaloopsy Girls are adorable, and I wish they lasted a bit longer. Heck, I like them better--way better--than the standard Lalas. While there's really nothing wrong with the standard Lalas, I just don't like baby/young child dolls as much as teen/adult dolls, so the Girls are more to my taste. They helped me get over my fear of button-eyed dolls, too (thank you for scarring my child self for years, Coraline [amazing movie, though; I just gave it another chance tonight, and I'm so glad I did!]).
I needed to stop by the craft store to get some stuff for a school project, and I had the idea to try to remake Pix E.'s missing pajamas (and hair clips). They're a little sloppy, but I did my best. ^^'
Pajama materials include solid magenta and teal fabrics, yellow and turquoise paint markers, pink glitter tulle, and iridescent white glitter glue. I painted the stripes onto the pants fabric and the fireflies onto the shirt fabric, stitched on the tulle trim, smeared glitter glue onto the pants fabric to give it that nice sparkle, and sewed the outfit pieces together. The shirt is held in place with Velcro, while the pants are just pants. They're loose and prone to falling down, but that shouldn't be an issue as long as Pix is sitting. As for the hair clips, they're just Rainbow Loom bands held in place by G-clips.
So yeah. My work isn't perfect, but I'm proud of myself for at least trying.
(Also, Mittens Fluff-n-Stuff may or may not be joining my collection depending on how well I do on an upcoming high-stakes test. 👀)
I got bored in class and had an idea.
Mittens got here today!!
I love her--and her pet polar bear! My mom accidentally cut into one of Mittens' hair clips when she was trying to help me open the box, but she said she'd try to fix it.
But speaking of the box, it's so cute!! They really went all-out with the aesthetics here, from the fuzzy photo trim to the fake hot cocoa stain.
Also, fun details I noticed:
The polar bear is molded to look knit rather than like a simple stuffed animal.
There are balls of yarn at the center of the hair clips.
The leg warmers have alternating thick and thin "woven" patterns.
Overall, very happy. I'm taking her back to school with me so she can hang out with Pix E.
