The Doll Affair 2009

I have decided to steal some time from my sleep to publish some of my photos from TDA 2009, because I know the next time I can be posting is after Christmas! So here's something to satiate your appetites for now!

Mostly, photos of my booth, my helper/bestie, and me!

There are also more photos of other booths that I would leave for next time! :)

And because it would be too late for me to say it when I return, here's a Merry Christmas to all of you!

the jolly fat man liked me afterall!

Hi! The Doll Affair 2009 concluded yesterday, and here's a brief update because I don't have the photos yet!

A special hello to everyone who's here through the namecards at TDA. Do comment to say hi! :) And if you are one of them who took photos of my booth, pretty please I wanna see them! :) 

Honestly, I did not fare well sales-wise at all at TDA, but somehow my spirits were still high through out. Mostly because I had already expected low/no sales, as I knew the main reason why my sculpts weren't selling, was because of the small scale (12th scale) they were in. Oh, the many times people would go "Ohhh, these are wonderful, but too small for my doll!".

And yet, I still went ahead with sculpting only 1/12th scale, maybe I was deterred by the obstacles Cindy was reporting (but it was all worth it, cause her sculpts are FAB!), but more so because I decided to concentrate on finishing my long list of Christmas orders instead, as I had to travel right after the event.

But lows aside, I MUST mention my bestie, LEE YIQIAO ARE YOU READING THIS, who was so generous and so helpful throughout the entire TDA preparation and at the actual fair itself. She was the one who got her fingers all white while painted the miniature displays, and made the extremely pretty ice cream stands. She lugged her extremely heavy laptop and extension cords to the fair, and helped think of the layout of the booth. I shall not bore all of you with all of the details, but just extremely thankful of this bestie of mine. LOVE YOUU!! :)

And there are more good news to report which would also explain the title of this entry), but that shall be in another entry. For now, I have to get sculpting again and packing for my trip! :)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will be out of the country from 21st December to 25th December. All orders would be sent out before I leave the country, but do note that the earliest time I can sculpt for new orders would be from 26th December.

I would still be contactable via email, and should be checking my inbox everyday. So keep your custom orders and enquiries coming! :)

Santa likes his chocolate chip cookies.

It is a well-known secret, well that Santa likes chocolate in his cookies.

Honestly! It's said that you get better presents (those that are hidden away in his special sack for clever kids who leave out chocolate chip cookies) in your christmas socks that way.

It might be fun to piss Santa off this year, by putting out a miniature plate of miniature INEDIBLE chocolate chip cookies. hahaha! -evil laugh.

Might earn me a whole sockful of soot, and fresh reindeer snot. :P

Why are there so many trays of cookies, Jocelyn? All the better to tease more Santas with! :)

I'm sorry guys, I think this has been a pretty annoying entry.

And I might have offended a jolly fat man in the North, shaking his belly like a bowl full of jelly.

(skip to 4:08, one of my well-loved lines from Chandler in Friends!)

hohoho!

flour, yeast, sugar.

 a sneak peek of what I'll be exhibiting at the fair.

A bakery stand with assorted varieties of sculpted miniature breads.

At first, I named this entry 'butter, flour, eggs', before the great goggle proved what a bread-idiot i am.

Turns out that there ain't butter or eggs involved in bread-making, and yeast is the essential ingredient instead.

today's a lazy day, and I've been feeling like I need more sleep for the entire day. Although the clock and some simple math tell me I don't, haha.

Have you had your daily bread yet, tell me about your favourites! :)
