Mamma Mia, here I go again....

Mamma Mia, here I go again..  I've made my ABBA dolls two different batches of Kimonos, each time trying to make them better.  Now I've made a third batch of Kimonos with a whole new pattern...






















  (Left) My first batch of Kimonos were done with a simple shirt pattern, all stuck together and very silly looking.  I wasn't satisfied with the way they looked, so I made another batch.  My next batch (Right) was with the same pattern, but the flower designs were done with glitter pens and the belts were separate.  They were wonderful, but again, I wasn't satisfied.  Now, many months later, I take out my pen and paper and design a whole new pattern that would hopefully get my Kimonos to look more like the actual costumes.

  Now, after two weeks of sewing, I've completed these wonderful, new Kimonos.  This time, I did the flower designs with my trusty sequins.  :)

My lovely, new Kimonos.  They now have big sleeves like the actual Kimonos.

All the patterns on Agnetha kimono.  You can't imagine how many times I've had to glue those sequins back on!  I've done it almost every morning! :(

No, I haven't forgotten Benny's flower designs on the back.  ;)

And of course, my ABBA dolls with my new CD!  :D



I love this CD!  It comes with all the songs I love!  :D

  That's all, folks!  :)  By the way, I want to start working on ABBA's black jumpsuits from late 1978 and early 1979.  :)

It's here!


  My ABBA CD arrived today and I love it!  In fact, I'm listening to it right now...  Right now I'm listening to "The Day Before You Came". 

   Anyway, have a great weekend!  :D

Send Birthday Wishes to Benny

You can now send birthday wishes to Benny on ABBAsite.  I'm not going to send one yet because I haven't finished my "Sunny Girl" animation.  Anyway, you can send Benny birthday wishes here.  :)

More doll pictures

  These are some not so recent pictures of Bjorn Uldollus and Agnetha Dollskog taking a trip out with us to an indoor-amusement-park-like-thingy.  :P  I hadn't taken Frida Dollstad or Benny Anderdoll with us because their heads were falling off at the time...

I had no idea my dolls secretly work for the Fire Department...

And they can drive, too?!?

"Fly me to the moon, and let me play among the stars.  Let me see what Spring is like on Jupiter and Mars..."

Fly me to the moon, too....!   Never mind, I'm too lazy... and my overalls are coming off...


ABBA's Outdoor Adventures - Part 4

  I know I haven't done this in a while, but I was searching through some pictures and found some of these doll pictures from the summer.  So here they are:

Agnetha on a doll-sized tire swing.  I put her on top of it instead of inside because there was water in it. (Yes, it rained during the summer...)

Lazy Bjorn on a chair...

Let's go swinging!

Is this a scale, or is it a thermometer? I don't think I'm 90 pounds...

More Animations...

  I've been taking a long break from making animations, so now I'm starting again.  I'm going to start working (Actually, I just started up my Lego Digital Designer...) on "Sunny Girl" for Benny's birthday, then (if I have time to,) I'll work on "Take A Chance On Me".  If I can't to that, I'll work on Happy New Year for January 1st, 2013. :)

Crazy Pictures...

I was fooling around with some ABBA pictures and went overboard. :P  See what I mean?




























The picture of Frida with the tea cup came out pretty good in my opinion... :)
