| Selling stuff! |
[13 May 2012|06:25pm] |
Hey all. I'm liquidating my doll collection for the most part, I'm down to one AG and my BJD, but I am selling the latter. The BJD that I'm selling is a B&G Leile, which is the same doll as ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.2) dark_skada's Wren. Here's her eBay listing, http://www.ebay.com/itm/120910948878?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 . I am selling her for $75 (or best offer) at present, and currently she only comes with herself, her eyes, and her faceup. However, I'd be willing to give her wig (It's a cute little light brown bob with bangs) and maybe a tiny dress or two if someone from here were to buy her.
Additionally, I am selling all of my AG clothes that are not for my remaining doll (Rebecca). I am selling the outfits at a flat rate of $10 each plus $3 for shipping. I can provide pictures, but here's a list for now.
Felicity's Tea Lesson Gown (comes with hat and shoes)
Elizabeth's Tea Lesson Gown (comes with mob cap, pink slippers, and scarf)
Kit's School Outfit (this has never been put on a doll and is still in its box, includes everything)
Molly's Polka Dot Outfit (this has a TINY light brown spot on the back of the skirt. Comes with shoes.)
This dress:  It's a Kindred Thread creation, limited edition. Really well made and beautiful, I just don't have a Felicity to put in it anymore.
Another Kindred Thread dress that is essentially Felicity's School Outfit except in BLUE as opposed to red. Everything else is basically the same.
Thanks for reading!

| Spring Swap! |
[04 May 2012|10:57am] |
TIME FOR ME TO YELL
Hey, Ag Over Eighteenaroonos! Today's the day when your swap shit is supposed to be in your swap person's hot little hands! Let's look at Bean's Chart:
Had an easier time handwriting this shit.
Oh no! That's a lot of names NOT FUCKING CROSSED OFF. That makes Auntie McBean mad, because it makes me assume that YOU ALL AREN'T SENDING YOUR SHIT OUT. There will be banhammers!
IF YOU HAVE GOTTEN SWAP SHIT: You need to tell me. Do it right now! Hit comment. I know some of you are allergic to leaving LiveJournal comments, but it won't hurt this one time!
Remember! I will be contacting people tomorrow to see if they've gotten their shit. If they say no, I will be contacting you. If you cannot provide proof that your thing is in the mail (a tracking number is nice!), YOU WILL BE BANNED FROM THE NEXT SWAP.
FAQ:
Hey, Bean, I sent -- Nope. I only want to hear "I got" right now. "I sent" doesn't mean anything at this moment. You all sent things last week during ship week, remember?
Didn't I tweet -- ? Possibly. Sometimes I get tweets when I'm at work, meaning I am knee deep in screaming children. That makes it easy to forget. But hey, school's out today, so if you're going to be totally beligerant and not leave a comment, you can tweet me (@beanjbunny) and I'll likely figure it out.
Hey, Bean, not all of your stuff is crossed off! All mine's in the mail, but not all of my swap people told me they got their shit, and I am being super nice and holding myself to the same standard as you. However! I kept all the tracking numbers to show myself! So I will not be banned.
Something horrifying in real life happened, and -- For fuck's sake, just let me know. I understand that your car breaks, your grandma dies, and the post office lights on fire. Happens to the best of us. I already have two people who've fessed up, I shall throw them in the sarlac pit last.
Of course, your swap partner might like to know that their shit will be late as well.
So. Start telling me what you got!

Well, it's not I initially envisioned when I saw the theme was "fire", but while that big project is in the works, how about a Fiery Redhead named Felicity? :)
I made it from an All Times Fashion pattern. I made a few slight alterations to the pattern, but it's the 3rd one of these patterns I've used, and the only thing I can complain about is that they call for facings, and I say Hell No! Facing's Go! :) I am one that would rather line the bodice instead of dealing with tiny facings.

[20 Apr 2012|07:07pm] |
Mwahaha, got my Earth Day photo done for Playthings' contest. It's not the most original, but I'm proud of myself for having the gumption to get out and actually get a photo. Shut up.
Plus, growing plants is important to me, so I'm glad to have a photo that represents something that I dig.

Now that we have swaps to be working on, come hang out in Skype! Even if you didn't offer things, or want to work on your backlog of 'things you owe other people that are past due'*.
What's Crafty Caht, you say?

Due to the awesomely terrible timing of having to move AND having a car completely crap itself, I need to raise some quick funds.
https://picasaweb.google.com/114646718073218318744/ForSale?authkey=Gv1sRgCOrQvNqpm6PEtAE#
Will ship First Class USPS w/ delivery confirmation or Priority Mail if it's over 1lb--shipping isn't included in the prices. I take Paypal only, gift option preferred but not necessary if you're uncomfortable with that.
Everything comes from my house, which has cats but they stay out of my doll stuff. Can't promise complete decontamination, but all this stuff has been stored in bins or plastic bags away from the cats in a room they don't have access to unless I'm in there with them.
I'm also willing to do quick, simple modern commissions--sundresses, skirts, t-shirts, tank tops, shorts. You give me a color, I'll give you some fabric choices and styles, and we'll go from there.

| AG Store Aftermath |
[21 Mar 2012|12:18am] |
Despite the presence of an AG Place in my state, I'd never actually been to one; hence, when visiting Seattle friends, I was super-excited to get to go. I actually had the pleasure of meeting ![[info]](http://l-files.livejournal.net/userhead/322?v=1300991993) kittikattie and flutterbychild the second time, too; it was awesome! Sadly, no pictures of us because I kept getting distracted from the idea by all the shinies around us.
We've all seen photos of AG Place Seattle if we've been or not, so I didn't take many pics while actually there; one I couldn't resist, however:
Yep, the two brides are still there! Much love to whoever put that display up.
I also got a few things; number one on my priority list was something for Addy, to show she's still got fans, dammit. After much deliberating, I got her flower-picking dress.
Addy does look good in just about everything, but I really love how she looks in this dress. The material's thin but not cheap, and it really is just perfect for summer weather. The flowers are okay, but nothing special; I'd rather have the kite this originally came with. Still, it's a beautiful dress and I'm very happy I got it.
( More pics this way )

[16 Mar 2012|07:11pm] |
I don't have a spiffy banner, since this is kind of a spur of the moment thing, but you remember when we all would hang out on Skype and craft (or not craft as the case may be)? Then December happened and we all got busy?
Well, it's back. Blockquoting the info from dark_skada because I'm lazy like that.
For those of you who are new: Crafty Chat is a bi-weekly (except we call the one on Friday "Fugly Friday") crafting circle of sorts, that takes place on the internet! It's all the best things in one!
We run it on Skype, which is a free easily downloadable program from skype.com. You will need a microphone and speakers (or headphones, they can help cut down on echo) but you do NOT need a camera.
Once you have Skype, find me (beccastareyes) on skype and send a friend's request saying you're there for Crafty Chat. From there, I'll add you, and work my magic to dial you into the group chat. Don't "call" me through Skype, because it puts the group chat on hold, but you can send me as many of the little IM messages as you please (this is helpful to know you're ready to be dialed in).
Crafty Chat traditionally runs from 6pm Eastern (5pm Central, 4pm Mountain, 3pm Pacific) until at least midnight or so. Sometimes later.
We'd absolutely love to have you join us!
For those of you who aren't new: What the fuck are you waiting for? Get on Skype! Sheesh.
I have Skype on and can host until I go to bed (which might be late; I have lots of tea and am baking brownies). Come for the brownies! (Disclaimer: Brownies only available if you live in my town.)

| OH GOD DAMN |
[05 Mar 2012|01:18pm] |
FUCK YOU ALL, BEAN'S POSTING GIFS FROM THE DAMN PONY SHOW
DOES SHE WANT YOU TO LISTEN?
YOU BET YOUR ASS SHE DOES 'CAUSE IT'S TIME TO:
[Glitterfy.com - *Glitter Words*]
(I work so hard to get your alls attention. Does it show?)
I am going to be starting the Pay it Forward Swap (also sometimes called the Spring Swap) on March 17th. Let us look at what that involves.
1. On March 17th (is that St. Patrick's Day or am I pulling that out my ass?), I open up a thread here at the Over 18. That would be a hell of a club name. Moving on.
2. All day, you come in and post offers. IE: I will make you a doll dress, I will make you doll food, I have extra books I want to unload, so on.
3. At 9 PM EST, we all come back to the thread and claim offers. It kind of turns into a feeding frenzy around here. It is awesome. However many offers you made, that's how many you get to claim.
4. You make up whatever you got claimed, ship it out, and bask in the joy of a job well done.
Ship week this year is April 22nd through 28th. I will expect your item to be in your person's hands by good old Cinco de Mayo, and I WILL FUCKING CHECK. Anyone who has an empty-handed swap partner will be getting angry PMs from me. If you do not respond within 24 hours, I will consider you a deadbeat, tell everyone, and ban you from the next swap!
FAQ:
Bean, why the hell are you telling us so early? Some people like to make things ahead of time and then offer them up premade. It saves a lot of wrath on my part time, energy and drama. So this is your cue, get making now.
I don't know what to make! Things I have seen offered in the past: doll clothes, FIMO items (accessories, doll food), beaded items, doll customizations, felt accessories (doll toys), left over things you've made for contests/tutorials, headbands, items for dolls that aren't AGs (we have a ton of BJD, Ellowyne and Monster High folks here, and I think a few Barbie people too), yarn items (sweaters, hats, scarves), doll blankets/quilts, AG books, wigs, AG items, craft supplies, digital items such as icons/art/fanfiction. Don't feel limited to that list.
The only two things that I ask you NOT do:
- Don't commission someone else to make something for you to offer. Come on, that's not in the spirit. It is from you. You're the one paying forward!
- Don't ask for money. Pay. It. FORWARD.
BEAN I CAN'T MAKE ANYTHING Look up at that list, not everything's a sewn outfit. Surely you can find something there that you could offer?
NO SHIT I MEAN I CAN'T MAKE ANYTHING AUGH MY HAIR'S ON FIRE Um, I do kind of run that site full of tutorials --
OH MY GOD I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE SHIT SHIT I CAN'T CRAFT BECAUSE For fuck's sake get off my nuts.
We all good? We all good! Commence to bitching in this thread!

So, my other two girls went quickly, Kanani sold in (what I feel like is a record) two hours, and a lovely member of this community has reserved Jess for herself (Thank you, flutterbychild!!!)
I've decided to sell the third girl in my collection, and figured I'd post her here in case anyone was interested.
I am selling a PM Samantha and including her Play Dress and Pinafore (real AG product), and her Talent Show Dress (which is a knockoff, not actually from AG). I am also including a pair of black tights, bloomers, and her Mary Janes. I will also throw in a copy of "Meet Samantha", that has been read, but is in great condition.
Samantha!

Thank you for looking, and thank you for allowing me the venue to post!

I'm looking to "rehome" two of my AG's. I don't pay any attention to them, and they sit on a bookshelf day in and day out. They're feeling ignored, and they have requested a "new owner who will love them". Sheesh. Preteens. So dramatic.
Anyway. I'm selling Kanani and Jess. Kanani comes with her box, book, and all her accoutrements that she originally came with (shoes, undies, hair clip, necklace). Jess is less fortunate in her possessions and comes with her book and the clothes on her back (her meet outfit, orange halter top and tie-dye boho skirt, also undies).
I have listed both on eBay, but figured it couldn't hurt to post here, since Kanani was a big hit with this community and maybe someone is in a position to acquire her now. I'm selling them both, especially Kanani, for prices lower than the standard I've seen on eBay.
If no one is looking to buy either of these girls, no harm, no foul.
Kanani:

Jess:

Both girls sold! Thank you, flutterbychild, and some random chick on eBay.

| (Almost) All Yer Dolls, Feb 2012 edition |
[27 Feb 2012|04:53pm] |
Since our last All Yer Dolls... I acquired new dolls! They're Limited Edition Holiday Minis, and they're adorbs. I can't find LEHM Cécile, but I think she's in with my bags and things from my trip to Disney last November/December.
Also, unrelated, but this is a picture post so whatever, I have had the fun of meeting up with TWO of our AG>18 members at Disney in the last few months. Lemme tell you: it was fantastic.
( See me and Wren showing off and also me and Ronni showing off )
If you're going to be in Florida anywhere between Orlando and Jacksonville, lemme know and maybe we can play. :D

So allicapri totally peer pressured me into doing this! =P The gang here is much like hers, pretty much the final group. Unless someone really super fantastic comes along, after I finally got my much sought after Sonali, I felt like my group was complete.
( Read more... )
In order of appearance: Morgan (Jess) and her bff Luisa/Luz (Josefina); Analiese (#27 and eTwin to allicapri's Dani, blue streaks and all), Odessa (Sonali), and Zoey (Rebecca), the three amigos; and an appearance of my very first American Girl, Samantha, who I got 20 years ago as of Christmas day 2011, wearing the cape my mother started for her 19 years ago, and finished about two weeks ago. =P

I was just thinking it'd been a while since we had an All Yer Dolls post!
The gang gathered in Team Modern's room for a photo op:
From left:
Addy 2 (in birthday dress),
Addy 1 (in Kirsten's work dress),
Treasured Childhood Felicity;
Lucy (#23), hiding in the back like always,
Robin (Jess) - gasp!no hat! (She was supposed to be holding it, but it slipped out of her hand and I was too busy trying to make sure they were all looking in the right direction to notice),
and Sunny (#4).
Sadly, I can't echo allicapri's claim that these are All My Dolls Forever, 'cause there's still more that I want. Most of those will have to wait until I get more space, 'cause the Dollcave is getting crowded!
