Especially Pose Dolls (, Plastic and Celluloid toys, stationery, jewellery and childrens items. The kitschier the better! I adore the artwork of Macoto, Naito and Kiichi.
I am also really into crafts and make my own bags, jewellery, paper products and accesories. I sell these under the brand "Sugar Lemon Sweetheart" as the blog title suggests ;)Sugar Lemon Sweethearthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03334145993906545998noreply@blogger.comBlogger28125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23202658835148702.post-1569213748632742832010-11-09T19:16:00.010+13:002011-12-05T16:57:34.674+13:00<div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><i><br /></i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNuh1DgvtohfyZTcs-UPhfUTEIXinoJpTXfium7ezvflPm4S4Gyz_wM47aMU9jXrf1OQXY8W5YgJoaOlyIrWQAll6HNUwDAFWAnudT-PqGZJeSeMW3x0S89qjJH4xTAjo656nSbttOzw/s200/octgeisha.jpg" /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTYQbawQFkLCDYv3YuRS_kywXm8C8_pSFwxaViFIUs489VJb2ctnK2gx7IqpWGMZF3aT9ghuxPBmrwQhYHsCdTETv8nF43Fr173V0SZfpswsbxknZ42TMmY9YUB8BVjgAYN7GcokD6Ng/s200/nurse.jpg" /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp6wG1VBq58xJlnKNGvCmCxQuR8TKtGp4QpziSjLQJ1chSQInzZ0S-nQLhfipVxvYvRdQ7Jaeo3XpP2Yu9GDXibUOZm0H0Bft6YGoypucaHt5bbTBogAsP1KQWpTHxMeKi47y-bRN8ZQ/s200/yarngirl.jpg" /><br /></span></span><br /></div>Sugar Lemon Sweethearthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03334145993906545998noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23202658835148702.post-3575233964417564082008-12-23T09:28:00.002+13:002008-12-23T09:33:20.803+13:00All I want for Xmas...This gorgeous sweater from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=sr_gallery_8&listing_id=13866208">catsandcrickets</a> on etsy...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdnRJwGm9kOGTiD-uHGSsT30MaUaCb0QKrjFxstYS8q3YzytuUcIRdFlAhIDHOClf68sa6pbbde4qfjNfgS6g-eYqrc2ugQvNOsZnOK1SPkLt1aFiZ4JeVmF8_Gty6iVB5BDu2Goawfg/s1600-h/il_430xN.45844949.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 306px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdnRJwGm9kOGTiD-uHGSsT30MaUaCb0QKrjFxstYS8q3YzytuUcIRdFlAhIDHOClf68sa6pbbde4qfjNfgS6g-eYqrc2ugQvNOsZnOK1SPkLt1aFiZ4JeVmF8_Gty6iVB5BDu2Goawfg/s320/il_430xN.45844949.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282714414514802770" border="0" /></a><br /><br />... and these two beautiful dresses from calico vintage <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=sr_gallery_9&listing_id=15838382">here </a>and <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=sr_gallery_3&listing_id=18926180">here</a>.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqGWso_b6OVOfpF1iTxMZM_TU8fYRw2Cy38f0kTIVuhe6RqHZ4soTcGjA-fpRAgIgFyC3xvwm1Z68zcRW5skOW-axWS0NLrDe1UITQDN2w0GSMYs5ny7UORC0D_95mtrHOmXa0D4F45w/s1600-h/il_430xN.40028074.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 187px; height: 192px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqGWso_b6OVOfpF1iTxMZM_TU8fYRw2Cy38f0kTIVuhe6RqHZ4soTcGjA-fpRAgIgFyC3xvwm1Z68zcRW5skOW-axWS0NLrDe1UITQDN2w0GSMYs5ny7UORC0D_95mtrHOmXa0D4F45w/s320/il_430xN.40028074.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282714416291532354" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjougfiXG0TDFecU0cEouSqWb48Aq6ybK_VlgVS8fgzvTw6T6CmacqSrbQKn_lnkBoRm-6KWmUl6ZhDNCyNz3F53BZQavyg6xvVrsljJaqC1hLPlg-6jev3bT_4aTmQtSRk2OvN0p2HA/s1600-h/il_430xN.50239954.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 192px; height: 192px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjougfiXG0TDFecU0cEouSqWb48Aq6ybK_VlgVS8fgzvTw6T6CmacqSrbQKn_lnkBoRm-6KWmUl6ZhDNCyNz3F53BZQavyg6xvVrsljJaqC1hLPlg-6jev3bT_4aTmQtSRk2OvN0p2HA/s320/il_430xN.50239954.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282714411790938258" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Please Santa!!!Sugar Lemon Sweethearthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03334145993906545998noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23202658835148702.post-50325169666635309662008-12-23T08:48:00.001+13:002008-12-23T08:48:00.681+13:00Cheep Cheep<div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bunnyism/3124735204/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3128/3124735204_01b221c69b_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bunnyism/3124735204/">Birdy Box 02</a><br />Originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/bunnyism/">♥♥ Sugar Lemon ♥♥</a></span></div>One of my favourite items that I sold at Kraftbomb on Sunday.

I just hate the process of selling things online I guess. I like people to see the stuff, hold it, check it out and then purchase. Also i've never been terribly succesful at getting many sales, probably because im lazy and don't really promote myself. Speaking of which, months ago I uploaded a couple of bags to<a href="http://www.felt.co.nz"> felt.co.nz</a>. They sat on there unsold and I completely forgot I even still had them listed until last night I got an email telling me i'd made a sale, yay! Sold my little eiffel tower charm pouch, good thing I hadn't already sold it!Sugar Lemon Sweethearthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03334145993906545998noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23202658835148702.post-91632988776095441882008-11-21T04:25:00.003+13:002008-11-21T04:36:02.966+13:00Have I ever...*<span style="font-style: italic;">Yes answers are in bold.</span><br /><br />1.

I sold over $150 worth of goodies which made me super duper happy as last time it was a lot quieter and I was worried it was an indication of my items but im feeling a lot more confident now. Thanks to anyone reading this who purchased from my stall and also a big thank you to Kessia who helped me make sales and pass the time :) She also made some delicious halloweeny meringues which I scoffed down 5 minutes after taking them home! <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz0XmFToIkukekwvGtMqXFC8L1DBrYnw5roQiLnpsG1HiewKUuGElbyRLMntYjHMYi3cFsw3gjtYv2urEkMyz3CrUt7MEdptGYxIDLKcjBnhdM_aytqBd2PQLDimyCCNcMRGFKdiXH-A/s1600-h/031.gif"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 16px; height: 16px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz0XmFToIkukekwvGtMqXFC8L1DBrYnw5roQiLnpsG1HiewKUuGElbyRLMntYjHMYi3cFsw3gjtYv2urEkMyz3CrUt7MEdptGYxIDLKcjBnhdM_aytqBd2PQLDimyCCNcMRGFKdiXH-A/s200/031.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261449206089386466" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Guess what, I didn't take my camera... i've come to the realisation that I need to buy a small compact model that easily fits in my bag. I just loathe the idea of lugging around my giant sony828. Its funny because I used to have a tiny slimline sony that I sold to help pay for "the beast" but now im regretting it. Of course it takes MUCH better photos but thats a bit pointless if I never get to use it anywhere but at home. There should be a couple of snaps of my stall though that i'll post once theyve been uploaded by their rightful owners.<br /><br />So every month I comment on the exchange rate... well I thought it couldn't get any worse than what it was but hey the other day it dropped to a six year low of 54 cents. FIFTY FOUR CENTS!!!??? I mean seriously wtf. That means if I want to buy anything from the US its going to cost me DOUBLE. This is not good at all seeing as almost all my supplies are sourced overseas.<br />It must REALLY be hurting importers.. I heard the reason <a href="http://www.realgroovy.co.nz/">Real Groovy</a> is in receivership is partly because of a huge import of crappy vinyl from the US that they just couldnt sell. Oh dear.<br />This is how I feel about it all : <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG6ZWxmn_UCWepfSs8cRLb_P7KM3JLuVicZVqlWD82qMCCLemGVrrhKIvpRUJUfV_w4avuVYVqNyEGJyQMfKVIbojk-F8SZRZGLUGHHHuS0CNo5b89Ge5bgXjQyroFPprjIeZ6V3zcyw/s1600-h/143.gif"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 16px; height: 16px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG6ZWxmn_UCWepfSs8cRLb_P7KM3JLuVicZVqlWD82qMCCLemGVrrhKIvpRUJUfV_w4avuVYVqNyEGJyQMfKVIbojk-F8SZRZGLUGHHHuS0CNo5b89Ge5bgXjQyroFPprjIeZ6V3zcyw/s200/143.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261449073976127458" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Anyway bitch bitch whine whine..<br /><br />Recently I discovered Nurie's which are basically Coloring Books for people other than preschoolers :P I have been buying a whole lot off yesasia and they are just amazing. My favourite are the artist series. Most begin with a dozen or so full colour illustrations by the artist and then follow with a whole heap of thick high quality blank backed coloring in pages which include the images at the front (which I guess are examples/reference). You can use paints, pencils, crayons, markers etc etc. Next post I will post some detailed photos.<br />For now here are a couple of pics from Renee's flickr (hope you don't mind me posting them!) They are from the Rune Naito Book. The drawings in this are quite simple in contrast to some of the other books i've got...but i'll post those tomorrow :)<br /><br /><a href="http://flickr.com/photos/reyney"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3036/2886722930_c8011da49a_m.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/reyney"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3275/2886723170_7766aa58cf_m.jpg" /></a>Sugar Lemon Sweethearthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03334145993906545998noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23202658835148702.post-83968793832237378532008-10-17T16:40:00.004+13:002008-10-17T17:03:28.239+13:00HorraynessI am such a dork, I came here to blog about my wonderful <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">surprise</span> and ended up getting lost in crafting mania... anyway, so I opened the mail the other day to find this...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQyxA4d_qfAS230injzMp7gAgsK9gqAi4Ngbd165vXiCFhREvbGhrdr0IMKOq8ovyQBdqGJ-DuEQ0ygJ-8fS2g_F2Iizh2GYxp-iz9xsoQmoik5VlDnd9OtinEuEGdIc0w6H6CNPqqZg/s1600-h/DSC03573.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQyxA4d_qfAS230injzMp7gAgsK9gqAi4Ngbd165vXiCFhREvbGhrdr0IMKOq8ovyQBdqGJ-DuEQ0ygJ-8fS2g_F2Iizh2GYxp-iz9xsoQmoik5VlDnd9OtinEuEGdIc0w6H6CNPqqZg/s320/DSC03573.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257962973217464834" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Now if you do not know what a <a href="http://boopsiedaisy.etsy.com"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Boopsie</span> Daisy Dolly</a> is you have to have been living under a rock for the last year... They are only the cutest handmade dolls made by one of the sweetest pixies on earth, Missy (aka <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">BoopsieDaisy</span>). She is one of my favourite people online. Another one of my favourite people is Linda (<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5079278">Felted <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Folksies</span></a>) who creates the most adorable little creations with chenille as well as other amazing <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">cutsie</span> goodies.

I am plotting my own suprise for her now :D<br /><br />Seeing as this is such a positive entry I may as well talk about some other people I love..<br /><br />Annette from <a href="http://www.japanesesweetshop.com">Japanese Sweet Shop</a>!! If you haven't checked out her shop yet you are really missing out. She stocks it full of the most amazing stuff from Japan (new and vintage). She is a total pleasure and I am so priviledged to know her! She also has a wonderful blog <a href="http://japanesesweetshop.blogspot.com">here</a> that you should read :)<br /><br />Renee is one of my other special dolly friends. She has such a kickass doll collection and I swear we have the exact same tastes! She too sells bits and pieces (and sometimes dollys) on etsy under <a href="http://shoeflower.etsy.com">shoeflower</a> and really great jewellery <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7566">here</a>.<br /><br />Of course I can not forget to mention Gretchen and <a href="http://shop66.etsy.com">Shop66</a>! I have aquired soooo many of my fabulous dolls and goodies from this lady! She has THE biggest and best Vintage Japan collection probably of anyone in the US (possibly the world :P)<br /><br />I am probably going to forget someone here.. hrm, I have been sitting in front of this screen for too long, Im going to go grab a drink and hopefully if I have missed anyone super important it will come to me...<br /><br />Oh just came to me..

I just do not know how I can buy the supplies I need (which are always in US dollars) and still make a profit at the prices I can charge. If I was breaking even that would be okay but if im losing money thay is a worry...<br />I am paying nearly double what you guys in the USA are, I cannot believe its dropped to 59c (as of right now). Horray for five year lows......... Not only that but it also means I can not really justify buying ANYTHING for myself online. No more dollies or goodies :( which means no more cute photos to share :( which means less participation in all the fun communities I am a part of :( which means total shittiness for moi.<br />Everything we (as a country) import from overseas (especially europe and us) will inevitably be raising in price too.<br />I am almost at the point where im thinking I may have to sell off a large portion of my collection to make some dollars while its so low.. only problem is I don't know how to set up paypal to put money into my bank account, i've always just used those funds to pay for other onine purchases.<br />If I was to sell all my dolls, supplies and collectibles at what they are worth I would be able to make around $10,000. Thats terrifying because that means i've SPENT ten grand on that stuff to begin with. I know this is a very negative blog entry but im totally freaking out about it.<br /><br />I am also not sure if crafting is financially viable for me anymore. I am just not selling enough. I dont know if it's because im not promoting it enough (quite possible) or in the case of actual craft events like kraftbomb, my stuff is just too niche. I know theres a huge market for cutesie frou frou stuff online (I mean look at lollishops!) but maybe not so much here in Auckland. I seem to be popular with the kids though haha guess adults aren't so into the idea of cupcake rings and pony brooches :*( And to be really honest I think my ideas and actual skills are just not good enough... nothing I do is really unique and no matter how hard I try and think of new ideas I just hit a brick wall. I have hundreds of dollars worth of jewellery supplies and fabrics just sitting around gathering dust. Maybe it is just time to forget it and move on.<br /><br />I don't know...<br />:/Sugar Lemon Sweethearthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03334145993906545998noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23202658835148702.post-20658163879753873242008-10-06T19:11:00.001+13:002008-10-06T19:11:24.882+13:00My Stall<div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nzcupcakequeen/2916735644/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3039/2916735644_9c3a4cde98_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nzcupcakequeen/2916735644/">IMG_0881</a><br />Originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/nzcupcakequeen/">City the NZ Cupcake Queen</a></span></div>Looking a bit bare and messy haha I think this photo was taken towards the end of the day so lots of empty spaces.<br clear="all" />Sugar Lemon Sweethearthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03334145993906545998noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23202658835148702.post-75296283704538138962008-10-05T03:33:00.001+13:002008-10-05T03:33:25.555+13:00A photo...<div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bunnyism/2885533064/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3085/2885533064_bf53745453_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bunnyism/2885533064/">At the Car Wash...</a><br />Originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/bunnyism/">♥♥ Sugar Lemon ♥♥</a></span></div>of my gorgeous girl, just because I want to share her sweet face!<br clear="all" />Sugar Lemon Sweethearthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03334145993906545998noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23202658835148702.post-87719330080444695972008-09-29T23:25:00.012+13:002008-09-30T00:08:02.428+13:00The Craft Aftermath<div style="text-align: left;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://anemonecrafts.blogspot.com/"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 155px; height: 116px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix80OEoIofKoNjUiDFrCmD1lLAx2wLbnVQHjvJxPKH9UHEclutgsp3cuAmSRcZr1WkFftkOZuYxo0RGhbEW-MzWuccTJuZ3oj1telJhKw4uLuEkptlHZgcpcIeGOR0N4gS-FglUcZ5GQ/s320/Library+-+5606.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251394525527460146" border="0" /></a>Kraftbomb was a lot of fun yesterday!

Next month will be in a bigger venue so hopefully that will attract more customers. I also spent way too much on goodies for myself... I bought THREE furry bunny plushes from Anemone Crafts (photo taken from blog <a href="http://anemonecrafts.blogspot.com/">here</a>) a hedgehog necklace from 'Lilys Make Believe' (blog <a href="http://lilysmakebelieve.blogspot.com/">here</a>) and a bunch of badges from Nut and Bee (<a href="http://www.nutandbee.com/">site</a> here).

Hopefully I don't look like a total dork in any!</div><br />After looking at what other people were selling their items for I am starting to wonder if im pricing my stuff too cheaply...I noticed one stall was selling a necklace using a charm that was on one of my necklaces but mine actually had two charms on it but they'd marked theirs at $20 and mine was only at $15. I am crap at the business side of stuff and really have no clue what I should be pricing at and normally make up a price on the spot ha that's terrible. I should really be keeping a record of how much im spending of materials so I can work out cost+labour for a reasonable sale amount. I have a feeling I am possibly losing money... I know im putting way more money into materials than what im getting back in sales :/ I just love the process of creating things though so I almost don't really care about the profit.<br />The other thing I picked up on was people are more interested in the more pricey items (sterling silver necklaces etc.) so im wondering if I should shift focus on creating higher ticket items using quality materials - only risk with that is not selling anything... Suppose I could always try out one or two items and see what happens and if noone bites keep them for myself.<br /><br />I have reduced my ebay spending a LOT recently.. I was spending way too much and with the NZ dollar being so weak against the US it was getting ridiculous. I did however succumb to buying a few things I just couldn't resist...<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMcAjUK9KLYxetMT6mMaUlquLRiaDW706IyseKf5FFzr82wz-lIXHftKAY-ouMx7ai8L3hv8hyphenhyphenh9M9QC4irl6aVw-GAncVgqDvMore8Vg4KFsypK7uL6hDNjnBWegUU6jv73rO4k7seQ/s1600-h/4c4c_1.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 152px; height: 202px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMcAjUK9KLYxetMT6mMaUlquLRiaDW706IyseKf5FFzr82wz-lIXHftKAY-ouMx7ai8L3hv8hyphenhyphenh9M9QC4irl6aVw-GAncVgqDvMore8Vg4KFsypK7uL6hDNjnBWegUU6jv73rO4k7seQ/s320/4c4c_1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251396889267679266" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxqMfWTWq_BBwT_awNmpCABHVZBujn9YfqhcfbMJGNKXQA_pe1o7Wfvh1kqYl59wQUEbYP9MvLFGwokrU7tiE7HXYRM1pjbufnsMHTeZsVp0IyP4kkFHV-uqrc3TYSEAjM0zDYZCSrag/s1600-h/b46a_1.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 134px; height: 202px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxqMfWTWq_BBwT_awNmpCABHVZBujn9YfqhcfbMJGNKXQA_pe1o7Wfvh1kqYl59wQUEbYP9MvLFGwokrU7tiE7HXYRM1pjbufnsMHTeZsVp0IyP4kkFHV-uqrc3TYSEAjM0zDYZCSrag/s320/b46a_1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251396884932398994" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwD-o_ljcGxUrTxaavTZuMwT5ldBymumD46SoFsOS-XLxc2OSJWEdgatKPyi2zGmUR0dZ9VWwdjIizCEwyA9QJC8vcR2YNnaZItzwjp2MTelfyhjxhqKHgHMK6kz-dUTGp6XWe9o9Fzg/s1600-h/8496_1.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 282px; height: 275px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwD-o_ljcGxUrTxaavTZuMwT5ldBymumD46SoFsOS-XLxc2OSJWEdgatKPyi2zGmUR0dZ9VWwdjIizCEwyA9QJC8vcR2YNnaZItzwjp2MTelfyhjxhqKHgHMK6kz-dUTGp6XWe9o9Fzg/s320/8496_1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251396883967742802" border="0" /></a><br /></div>Sugar Lemon Sweethearthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03334145993906545998noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23202658835148702.post-26640712561404933552008-09-27T01:51:00.003+12:002008-09-27T02:34:40.246+12:00IT'S ALIIIIIIIIIIIVE!Yes I actually do make things...<br />not that you would know as I seem to have managed not to blog about it, well, EVER. That was a mouthful. I used to run things under the name "Oh Deery Me"selling things from myspace and through the now closed down "Lady Eves" (in st kevs arcade) but I had a pretty long break and wanted to come back with something fresh including a new name so Sugar Lemon Sweetheart was born. At the moment im just making stuff to sell each month at kraftbomb (see info below).<br />So all that said, here are some of my bits and pieces!<br /><br />Cupcake Pouch (which will be for sale at kb) This was really time consuming sewing on all the sprinkles by hand.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bunnyism/2869190729/" title="Cup Cake Pouch by ♥♥ Sugar Lemon ♥♥, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3040/2869190729_04191b2471_m.jpg" alt="Cup Cake Pouch" width="240" height="224" /></a><br /><br />Vintage Celluloid Charm Cameo Brooches. Sold out of these!<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bunnyism/2395827368/" title="Brooches by ♥♥ Sugar Lemon ♥♥, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3176/2395827368_7fba7c1ef0_m.jpg" alt="Brooches" width="240" height="167" /></a><br /><br />This was my first (and err last) real embroidery attempt. As you can see its the promo cover for one of my favourite movies Cry Baby... Sadly it is still sitting in the hoop, I just cannot decide what I want to do with it. I thought maybe a pillow or maybe a patch for a bag or shirt? Indecisive.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bunnyism/2243440975/" title="Cry Baby Embroidery by ♥♥ Sugar Lemon ♥♥, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2367/2243440975_44d9664e59_m.jpg" alt="Cry Baby Embroidery" width="240" height="212" /></a><br /><br />Here is one of many bags i've sewn up using ridiculously expensive Japanese fabric. How can anyone not love Alice in Wonderland kawaii styles!?<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bunnyism/2428298426/" title="Alice Tote by ♥♥ Sugar Lemon ♥♥, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2313/2428298426_5999828530_m.jpg" alt="Alice Tote" width="240" height="225" /></a><br /><br />If you haven't noticed by now I like to dabble in all mediums... this is a dress I whiped up for my daughter Lily. I can't remember but I think this is an Alexander Henry print (could be wrong)<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bunnyism/563426994/" title="Jungle Dress Close Up by ♥♥ Sugar Lemon ♥♥, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1356/563426994_d2068fd898_m.jpg" alt="Jungle Dress Close Up" width="197" height="240" /></a><br /><br />Cards I made for kraftbomb using my dolly photography... I did not sell even ONE. Boo... I know they are kind of only appealing to crazy vintage japan nuts like me though so it's kind of understandable really. I think these would do better on etsy where I know other pose dolly nuts would appreciate them :D<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bunnyism/2791275131/" title="Dolly Cards by ♥♥ Sugar Lemon ♥♥, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3190/2791275131_ee51a272b1_m.jpg" alt="Dolly Cards" width="240" height="176" /></a><br /><br />I made a few of these matryoshka pillow dolls last year but then everyone started doing russian dolls and I stopped making them. This one sold at Lady Eves from memory.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bunnyism/433771854/" title="matryoshkadoll by ♥♥ Sugar Lemon ♥♥, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/184/433771854_db87302fca_m.jpg" alt="matryoshkadoll" width="180" height="240" /></a><br /><br />Necklaces for this weekend. I really love these and kind of want to keep all of them! (well not really... buy one!)<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bunnyism/2870007378/" title="Necklaces Up Close. by ♥♥ Sugar Lemon ♥♥, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3085/2870007378_13e079f9a8_m.jpg" alt="Necklaces Up Close." width="240" height="141" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />So after all that show and tell I want to speak of the fantastic new craft event thats happening monthly here in Aucks (well Grey Lynn to be precise) called Kraftbomb! The amazingly talented City and her equally talented friend Karla have done such a fab job organising it, I can't wait until the next one on Sunday. Last month went really well and I made a few hundy which is always nice.. probably didn't cover my costs ha ha but who does? I figured at the prices im charging it works out to be about $6 an hour NOT including the material cost.. BUT I love tinkering around and making stuff so its a labour of love more than anything. I think one of the coolest things is having someone love something you've created so much they just have to buy it. Hopefully that happens a lot this weekend, we shall see. I have kind of got a bit of a theme going this month.. "sickeningly sweet", think cupcakes, sprinkles, pink pink pink, cuteness overload etc. If you know my stuff you're probably thinking "err isn't that ALWAYS the theme?" maybe kinda sorta... ;)<br /><br />Anywho, check out the kraftbomb blog <a href="http://kraftbomb.blogspot.com/">here</a> and the flyer here:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAtW3Mf62HSJBwry7JqQXtPv2WVbC6xUKFeh7AF0BtJ1MZeFJ-CTvK-N7S1Z5JyHreeHzaxun4cKXhZ5erEPyLpmvWEikWYeQV5QdJHr8oac5GtkAXqKVYIWGbRDgMBvWRBV8AqP8dMA/s1600-h/Kraftbomb+Sept+flyer.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAtW3Mf62HSJBwry7JqQXtPv2WVbC6xUKFeh7AF0BtJ1MZeFJ-CTvK-N7S1Z5JyHreeHzaxun4cKXhZ5erEPyLpmvWEikWYeQV5QdJHr8oac5GtkAXqKVYIWGbRDgMBvWRBV8AqP8dMA/s320/Kraftbomb+Sept+flyer.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250331045725561554" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: left;">I am pretty sure that is all I wanted to write... I know im such a slack blogger but I might take my camera along this time and take some snaps to put up. I wish I had a second camera for this kind of thing, something small and lightweight. My sony828 is a dream but its soooo clunky and annoying to take out, I really wish I hadn't sold my tiny slimline cybershot :/ although my 828 takes way better photos so its a catch22.<br /><br />Hopefully some of you are still actually visiting my blog... it's been so long between posts I wouldn't blame anyone if not. I see blogger has a cool new "follow" feature, ABOUT TIME! That was always the one thing I hated about it. I used livejournal for years and it was so convenient to have all my "friends" saved to a list, I am too useless to go and visit individual blogs every day.<br />Please add me to your list and i'll be sure to add you back :)<br /><br />I've been burning the midnight oil too often this week and I can feel my contacts sticking which is a sure sign I should head to bed...<br />xxoo<br /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>Sugar Lemon Sweethearthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03334145993906545998noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23202658835148702.post-85554174281747300372008-08-07T09:01:00.002+12:002008-08-07T09:02:37.438+12:00Oh my god....<br /><br />the NZ dollar has dropped to 69c to US$1<br />argggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh only a few months ago it was at 79c!!<br />I am going to go totally and utterly broke!Sugar Lemon Sweethearthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03334145993906545998noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23202658835148702.post-60338571645101629332008-06-30T20:56:00.008+12:002008-07-01T01:37:50.426+12:00I am the most useless blogger in the world, it's probably even official! I suck at updating.<br />I haven't really got any "news" as usual so i'll just share some fun stuff.<br /><br /><br />I won this lovely Missy the Model doll (and her dog Gigi) w/ box, I can't believe I got her as I was sure I would be outbid at the last minute. She looks gorgeous in the photos... can't wait to get her!

I only have one other like this so I was desperate for these.. I had lost an auction for a similar pair a little while ago so was so happy to see more listed! I feel bad though about having to outbid people I really like :( goes with the territory I guess...I've lost plenty of stuff recently too. Its so hard not to want every single thing that fits into that cute japanese cloth doll category.

HATE.<br />It's destroyed the fun in ebay for me that's for sure.<br />:( I don't mean to offend anyone who does this, I just can't stand the method itself (not the people).<br />I can sit there watching the auction close and because my internet is not as fast as the US I have no chance of revising my bid in time. I had 6 seconds to go, I pressed 1 click bid and it told me the auction had already closed?! there must be some sort of weird delay because there was no way it took 6 seconds to load. *sigh* hahaha and I REFUSE to use a sniping service.

My dad got a call last Sunday from his mum in Australia about his father who has emphysema. She didn't think he had very long left, maybe a week or two. Dad decided we should all go over to see him straight away so the next day we got on a plane to Sydney. We were only there two days but it wore me out. I hate travelling, even short plane trips. 3hr40min to Sydney and 2hrs40 back to Auckland. I have NO clue why its an hour quicker on the way back..maybe something to do with head winds *shrug*. Anyway, he was pretty bad..could hardly breathe, couldn't leave the bed etc. Me and my sister were never close to him (I only met him 3 or 4 times) but even so, it's horrible to see anyone dying.. I know my dads struggling with it a lot. He is still alive but really it's just a matter of waiting for the call :/ The whole situation is very sad.. He re married a lovely Filipino woman about 10 years ago, she had a son who was my age. About 5 years ago he committed suicide and left a tape basically blaming my grandfather. It is true my granddad was quite hard on him but he was an elderly sick man who shouldn't have had to put up with the carry on my cousin put him through... he was into drugs/petty crime etc. always in trouble. Anyway she left him shortly afterwards so he has been on his own for the last few years. It really breaks my heart to think of him lying there all alone all day.. but there really isn't much we can do. He is a very stubborn man and does not like help.. my dad did however organise for health workers to come in twice a day so that's a little bit of piece of mind that he's being looked after.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqW4GOLQNI50NDuXOaK9lSfdYZDaR6NOQkfcMaaffWOFKA_8SsMcWUTXHaQKVszVNrGzorHjhjuwOwOWBue1izVoPQvB3JGpne0nq_PZ4Hp7-LawKUsTKigchZV8SA5DOAaqAEWagr7A/s1600-h/7f0b_1.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 99px; height: 132px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqW4GOLQNI50NDuXOaK9lSfdYZDaR6NOQkfcMaaffWOFKA_8SsMcWUTXHaQKVszVNrGzorHjhjuwOwOWBue1izVoPQvB3JGpne0nq_PZ4Hp7-LawKUsTKigchZV8SA5DOAaqAEWagr7A/s200/7f0b_1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5198867819496452978" border="0" /></a>Sorry for the personal blabber, it's good to get that off my chest though.<br /><br />It's been very slow doll wise since my massive haul the other week.

I am still waiting for things I paid for around 28th/29th April.. I guess that's only 2 weeks but i'm impatient! I guess if I want things fast I should cough up for Priority which in my opinion is a total freaking rip off. Who wants to pay $10-$15 extra (or even $25-30 for express) just to receive something maybe 2 or 3 days quicker.. I will just sit and stare at the mailbox I think ;) Here is a sneak peak at those girls. Sorry about the terrible auction photos, some sellers need to invest in a decent camera (web cam auction photos = seriously lame)!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCUkR7n7pPEpxJ5llLTKuqKRPYpbkmMLZlCk1KoQEE8pUO_lug5cvbXEKp8wMasXEocItY5BIgd53rF8PPvmemfIymWKfsmRSqrJIFbCZoRnxRAW6yy-RE7s_F7_h46XkQSYNVCGhrOg/s1600-h/6f98_1.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 183px; height: 137px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCUkR7n7pPEpxJ5llLTKuqKRPYpbkmMLZlCk1KoQEE8pUO_lug5cvbXEKp8wMasXEocItY5BIgd53rF8PPvmemfIymWKfsmRSqrJIFbCZoRnxRAW6yy-RE7s_F7_h46XkQSYNVCGhrOg/s200/6f98_1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5198863588953666386" border="0" /></a><br />In addition to the lovely Japanese girls I am also waiting on these lovelies..<br />The Aboriginal doll is really interesting... It said on the auction it was a brownie downing doll. I am not 100% sure if that was their guess or if it has a label or something on the bottom to indicate this.

I doIn't really have anything of interest to blog about so thought i'd share. I haven't received these yet, photos are direct fom the auctions.

I fell in love with her the moment I saw her and so did someone else ;) Well I kinda got a bit carried away with my bidding (trying to get over their autobid) and spent WAY over my doll limit (which is normally around $35ea, + the $20 I normally pay in shipping) and ended up spending ovr $100NZ (around $80US) on her... OOPS lol she is amazing though! I might have to think about parting with some of my less lovely dolls to pay for this damn addiction! I could always sell some of my vintage dresses that NEVER wear haha<br />Isn't her outfit fabulous???

I actually lost this auction but the seller had more so offered me a second chance (yay!). I have no clue what i'm going to do with these yet, maybe find some really cool silk flowers and stick them all in a vase. I do want to at some point attempt to make a doll body for one of my floating heads lol as I now have quite a few. I guess I could always buy a cheap bradley and rip off the head and use the body haha sounds quite gruesome.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Southern Belle Makeover<br /><br /></span>I recently bought a couple of ugly bradley dolls to remake into mod girls. I do wish they had bendy legs but I guess you can't have everything right? ;) To the left is the before (obviously) as you can see she is quite repulsive in this state. Her dress was torn at the bottom and her lipstick had completely faded.. not to mention that hat!

Today my baby girl fell off a chair face first and chipped her cute lttle front baby tooth. I am SO so sad about it.. I guess at least it wasn't an adult tooth but still, :( Its not really really bad but bad enough that it's noticeable. I wonder if they could cap it, I don't know if they would bother though seeing as it's just going to fall out anyway.<br /><br />Anyway, on to a more cheery topic.. The lovely City put me on to a neat website that creates custom lasercut jewellery (and anything else you can think of!) based on your own designs. The prices are pretty good too so i'm definitely going to look into creating some stuff.<br />Speaking of creating, I ordered myself 20 postcards and some sticker packs with my doll art/photography so they'll be available soon too.<br /><br />I decided to get back into my sewing also and just tonight finished off a bag from my own pattern (basic flat bottemed tote). I can't follow commercial patterns to save myself so have to work it out from scratch. It turned out to be a lot easier than I thought but still quite time consuming as I had to satin stitch all the inside seams (I need an overlocker!) I have added a picture of the finished product. I can't decide wether I should keep this one or sell it off.. I<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2313/2428298426_5999828530_m.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2313/2428298426_5999828530_m.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> also have no clue how to price it. The Alice fabric was $16US (so around $20 for me NZ) per yard and I used<br />just over half that plus other costs and labour (roughly 3-4 hours from cut to finish). Then I gotta factor overseas shippng which would be around $10 (which is much higher than if someone was to buy domestic usa so thats a bit of an issue as well. Damn being stuck on an island in the<br />middle of nowhere ;) I might actually skip etsy and try my luck on felt.co.nz or even trademe.co.nz that way its local and people expect to pay more ha sad but true.<br /><br />I listed some of my brooches on etsy but last week but I haven't sold anything yet. I think the market is just too flooded with similar stuff. Oh well.<br /><br />It is so cool to know that a couple of people are actually reading this and i'm not blabbing on to myself ;)<br /><br />My massive (well 8 dolly) package hasn't arrived yet but I will post pictures as soon as it does. The amazing Annette (<a href="http://www.japanesesweetshop.com/">www.japanesesweetshop.com</a>) sold me another amazing boxed sarco mop-pet doll w/dog (as well as 2 sweet mop-pet fairytale dolls) so my collection is definitely growing. At present (doll w/ dog wise) I have 6 mint, 1 kind of ratty (lol), 1 missing a base, and 3 more minty girls and a mystery fluffy haired girl on the way. Mystery because I spotted her amongst a bulk lot and asked the seller if she'd sell just her to me which she agreed to, $15 including shipping.. only problem is I have NO idea what condition she's in as the picture was small and blurry. I am hoping shes in good condition!! The ratty one i'm a bit annoyed about as the condition is much worse than the seller indicated.. actually the mail I received that day was awful. I received 3 dolls and all of them were dirty and worse than theirauctions indicated..sigh I guess you win some you lose some. I've posted pictures on flickr anyway so you can see for yourselves what I mean.<br /><br />Okay i'm off to bed, ts 3am, oops.<br /><br />I shall leave you with a photo of the sarco dollie (thanks annette!)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2375/2425472381_2a8d0103f3.jpg?v=0"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2375/2425472381_2a8d0103f3.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /></div>Sugar Lemon Sweethearthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03334145993906545998noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23202658835148702.post-69775279403940434422008-04-13T20:46:00.003+12:002008-04-13T20:55:39.819+12:00More Dolls!<div> </div><div>I found all these beautiful dolls from a seller on ebay, I was lucky enough to get them at a great price too!

I've been without for so long, its been torturous not being able to do simple editing procedures (like smudge and dodge) one takes for granted when you have all the neccesary programs at your fingertips.<br /><br />I want to start creating things again maybe to sell (at my new etsy shop? or craftwerk?) I had an idea of using some of my kitschy photos and getting them professionally printed (just 4x6) and mounting them as greeting cards.. that could be really cute, or even tiny printed gift cards. I have used tickle.co.nz in the past to print my phtos but every time they manage to mess up my size specifications, maybe i'll give them another chance as they're cheap, or I could just go to the mall and do it on one of those machines. Does flickr have any (international) print options yet? I haven't checked in awhile.. Last time I got myself some moo cards which are very cute, might get some more of those too.<br /><br />Thinking out loud, thinking out loud.<br /><br />Okay so next post will have photos and pretty things in a new format :DSugar Lemon Sweethearthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03334145993906545998noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23202658835148702.post-80880510468953304502008-03-22T15:40:00.000+13:002008-03-22T17:13:52.896+13:00Happy Easter :D<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bunnyism/2342936222/" title="Easter Display by ♥ Sugar Lemon ♥♥, on Flickr"><img style="width: 382px; height: 222px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3020/2342936222_af360e2d53.jpg" alt="Easter Display" /></a></div><br />So not a lot has happened in the last few days worthy of blogging about.. I wrote a little rant about ebay international sellers <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/bunnyism/2348573559/">here</a>, which had some interesting responses.<br /><br />Easter thus far has been fairly chocolateless im afraid! Recently I discovered that i'm slightly allergic to chocolate :( How awful is that? very very very. It's not a serious allergy but everytime I eat it my mouth kinda gets itchy and the inside of my mouth itches like crazy, so uncool.<br />I did eat the peeps and malt balls I got from Gretchen (<a href="http://shop66.etsy.com/">shop66</a>) and a tiny bit of a chocolate bunny (oops couldn't resist!) oh and a few chocolate hot cross buns (again, oops). Mmmm easter is definitely one of my favourite times of year.<br /><br />I am considering starting up an etsy shop selling bits and pieces, I guess i'm a little hesitant because of the shipping costs (being so high) - will people want to buy from me? I guess I wont know unless I try.. we'll see. I want to go on a massive thrift trip sometime soon as I haven't been in ages (6 months!?). New Zealand isn't exactly awesome for amazing finds but there are hidden treasures everywhere.. I just gotta get to them before everyone else.<br /><br />Here are a few things i've found in the last week..<br /><style type="text/css">.nobrtable br { display: none }</style><br /><div class="nobrtable"><br /><br /><ul><li>Vintage French Poodle Jewellery Box with three sided mirror.
