Here is a new creation
A new Barbie dress

I will do a new beach dress, and then i will probably add some beads to this one to make it more "night style".

My first BJD
Contaminated by a friend while a picnic, it took me a few months to search for the one i wanted... ah well what is a BJD or Ball jointed doll.
Well, it's a doll with ball joints. It's the new passion in japan, they can be tall as a Barbie or taller like 60cm or smaller.
Mine is a 55cm boy from Obitsu. Most of those dolls are in resin, mine is vynil.
Je l'ai commandé sur ebay dans une boutique honk kongaise, et je l'ai nommé Alunor Kazar, du nom d'un personnage d'un roman que j'ai commencé à écrire.
I ordered it on ebay from a honk kong shop and named him Alunor Kazar from the character of a novel I'm writing.
I'm sorry but due to the fact I don't speak that much english the stories i'll wrote about him won't fully be translated into english, i write a very good english, but not the litterature kind. So if you speak french and want to read about his story or read my novels and short, you'll have to go to the french version of this blog :
Antre de Péné
He arrived at home on april 8th, and sine I search for clothes, hairs, shoes, and a few days ago I made him up.
I forgot to take pics of him before. Well it seemed to me that I made some, but I can't find them so... here is the result.
My work table. The stains are Lilandra's work, she wanted to paint with me.
Here is a closer look of the doll's head with the lashes Fil sent me :
I painted it with watercolor and shalks.
Oh the nice fluffy ball, but what is it ?
Oh a wig !!!
And there it is, I know my wig seems a little weird.
Oh my nice fluffy leggings.
Je me suis bien amusée pendant mes vacances maintenant il va falloir que je lui trouve des vêtements, et une vraie perruque, mais il existe très peu d'informations sur cette poupée sur Internet. Si quelqu'un sait quelle taille de perruque lui va avec certitude, de quelle marque et si possible avec un lien internet, je lui en serai reconnaissant de le déposer en commentaire.
I really had fun in vacations, not I have to find him clothes, and a real wig but there's only a few informations about this doll. If somebody knows exactly which wig size fits him, which brand, and if possible with an internet link, I'll be very happy that he or whe would leave the information as a comment.

Sewing and Barbie Doll
Yesterday I went shopping in the Sacre Coeur neighborhood where you can find everything for sewing, ribbons and fabrics.
So I bought some fabric for my costume for the Medieval days of Provins, some false-fur to make wigs for my BJD, but not only for him, and some ribbons to create accessories of all kind. If you add all I already got like beeds, ribons, fabric and Fimo clay, you have the perfect stock for the amateur creator.
Of course, as soon as i get home and the kids was off bed, I grasped Lilandra's Barbie and the ribbons i baught, the white is elastic and very wide. After a few tries, I knew what I wanted to create.
So here is the Still-not-named-barbie-doll
And here is the sewing needs :
After mumm 5 minutes of hand sewing I had this :
And then I realized that with a sewing machine it would be faster, so... the same in black after approx 15 seconds :
But I wasn't really satisfied with the black one, ok Miss Barbie had a very nice white summer dress, for beach and shopping, maybe she could go dancing too with it, but she need something more night-styled to party or have a nice date with her... mumm still got no boyfriend, poor dear.
It took me a hour to sew it by hand, cause I wanted to do something great, but had to start all over at the first half, cause of a mistake.
Lilandra just showed off holding her Barbie and looking at the screen she yelled : hey it's my barbie doll, hey, that's my barbie doll to me. Sweet kid !

Vacations time
At last, deliverance, the great roads, the quiet... hum... well not really the quiet, cause we leave our sweet little nest for 10 days of rush.
Departure on thursday morning to Bordeaux, arrival expected on thursday in the early evening, road trip with 2 kids aren't a quiet trip.
On the arrival there will be my dad, a couple of friends of my parents, Claudie and Jean-Pierre, he is a former poet-hunter, loves to play tarot, used to play rugby, adorable and warm. She is a pearl of energy, always ready to please you or patch or quilt. She made a lovely protection for the health book or Lilandra with little mice and i love it.
My dad, not much to say about him, it's just that... he could be the subject of a futur novel. The only thing i could say is that he is a pacha, where he goes, he needs to be served, he won't do anything, not even his own coffee cup... yes..; ok he cooks, but only if can have glory, even if it's for 10 minutes.
On friday night, a friend of me will arrive : Carine, she's a geek, discrete but don't tempt her. Single questing for a not that much charming prince, she wants a guy who knows what he wants, of her age ... no more kiddos.
Sunday night, my mums arrive with my little sister. My sister, hum well a poem at herself... 22 years old, don't know what she wants for her life, well no, she knows but as it changes every 6 months, it's hard to follow her. i say that, but i can be worse than her even now.
On thursday, coming back to Paris (or friday, we haven't decide yet). But it will surely be thursday, cause vacations with parents aren't the best.
Saturday : Rally du Vexin at Aurel's place, with my lovely car... we'll talk about her later.
Sunday, Birthday and appart party at Eva's. My friend Eva, adorable, sparkling, overbooked, red haired like me (or it had changed lately ?)
Monday, 9am : Shortsight correction surgery for me.
I still don't know if i'm going to have both eyes operated or only one. I had an exam of my eyes tonight, that was funny, it was the first time for this exam (deep eye). I still have first times at 30.
So on monday april 21, it's a big jump... i wish i get rid of my glasses, i can't stand them anymore, my shortsight vision ruined my teenagehood, my dreams, i can't wait this whole story to end. And it's a present for my 30th borthday from my husband, it must be working.
Donc voila, silence radio jusqu'à ce que je revienne avec peut-être des nouveaux yeux... ou que je trouve une connexion sur Bordeaux.
So i'll be silent until i come back with maybe new eyes or ... i find a connexion at Bordeaux.

I had a shock
Monday last week, I come home very late and as usual when driving, I listen to France Inter Radio. At night, the broadcasting are always very interesting, surprising and live. The confidences of the night guests, who are courageous enough to come and answer to Serge Levaillant's questions in " Sous les étoiles exactement" are always a real delight.
I must admit that it also keep me awake.
And so, on that famous night, it was Grand Corps Malade
I don't like rap, i don't like suburb musique and no much the Slam.
Except that on that night, I don't change the radio station, i could have... i listen to the lines of GCM and ... it's just a revelation when starts "Les 4 saisons". I finish the radio show swearing to buy the album.
You know, i'm much a Rammstein, Nine Inch Nails, Tori Amis or Depeche Mode girl, so you can juge the revelation. But still, i think it's important to know how to listen and see through the facades of a rough musique like rap.
I discovered a poet, when i don't like poetry. I like his singing, when i only likes melodies...
Of course, when the coincidences start, on the thursday after, on TV was a documentary about him that i watched with interest.
I hope I can buy it soon, I would like to make it listen to my dad.

It's snowing
On sunday at home, it snowed, and not a few. The kids, a little nervous, spent a few minutes outside under the snow falling hard.
I took the time to picture on day and night.
First it snows slowly
Some big flocons
It's starting to snow a little bit harder
At night, the icy floor, the snow starts to stick and don't melt anymore
At 2 in the morning, it stoped, but already a large curtain that hides grass
To compare :
The stairs at midnight
The stairs at 4am when i get to sleep.
Here is april in Normandie

Home of pene : Introducing
This blog is an english translation of my blog, so the dates doesn't fit...
http://antrepene.canalblog.com
I have to start somewhere, you know, knock on the door, ring the bell or pull the little rope at the other end of the bell.
The door is open and your discover the mistress of the place, a 30 year old woman (i stopped with young woman) passionnate, funny rad haired - shades changing every 3 months - a round face and a big smile on her gorgeous mouth.
Already, two little kids are ruching to the door to see who's knocking. First shily, soon they'll beg for hugs and answers to theyr questions. Who you are, why you're here, if you like chocolate.
Here is the house where you enter.
This is my home, but not only. It's also my head, my dreams, my creations and all that feed them.
And then, here I am... a blury pic but i really like it.
In this blog, you'll find a little of everything and more.
Oh here are the two little monsters I talked about earlier, you won't see their dad, it's not that i don't want to show him, it's just that he wishes to remain off.
To start : Lilandra, born marsh 2005
Lilandra in a field of flowers
And Sire Melvil born in marsh 2006
Melvil, mum i love crisps
Ah, I got a pics of the dad, he's ok with this one.
