Olivier mon petit elephant...

Introducing a new design: a Blythe circus style fashion set with an adorable little elephant called Olivier (yes the French way) which is small enough to fit in my hand too. I spent several weeks blissfully designing and making this exclusive one-of-a-kind circus fashion set for your darling Diva's.
The circus style clothes and the elephant are designed by me and they are made with much love and attention to detail. I'm sure that you won't be disappointed in this charming one-of-a-kind set! Click >> HERE << to view the pictures and information.

THE SET IS SOLD OUT, HUGE TANKS V.W.






Coming soon...

Hello my friends, I just want to tell you that I'm soon listing a new outfit + the cutest little circus elephant ever.  I'm so happy at how it all turned out. Stay tuned........

Falling in love with

It's the day when people show their affection for another person or people by sending cards, flowers or chocolates with messages of love. Has anyone told you today how awesome you are? I hope so.

In the past I use to sent my darling a Valentine's card. We still keep them in a special booklet. It has become a valuable booklet with all the small notes and little messages that we wrote for each other. [...you can now send all those things via Whatsapp or Messenger...]. Sometimes I open it and read through it. It is a precious memory of bygone times and it always turns a smile on my face.

The last years I've also discovered a new love.....Blythe dolls. I simply adore those little ladies with their big eyes. Today it's Valentine's Day and I made a photoshoot of all my sweet cuddly friends that pose together on the word that is so important in everyone's life: LOVE.
I wish you all lots of love, not only on the 14th of February.

Back to Business

Well, it has been a long time since I was here with a fresh news on my website. For the last 2 years I have battled healt problems that have nagged me. I asked myself many questions. At the heart of it all I feel I've reached a cross roads in my life..... And because of this I've been taking some time off, to focuss only on my own rehab.
During this time my saving grace was my ability to escape into my art. I've been doing a lot of things "behind the scenes" and my ability to create something gave me a sense of great joy when times were very complicated.
During this period I discovered Instagram and I decided to sign up. And by accident I also discovered the wonderful world of the Blythe dolls and it's community of customizers and collectors. I knew Blythe dolls, but I've never seen them customized. It were THE LITTLE MISCHIEFS from Dolly Treasures by Eileen Lam who were so appealing to me that it was love at first sight.

DOLLY TREASURES

These cute dolls came exactely at the right moment into my life. Even though I had many days wehre I felt terrible, it was because of these little cutie pies that I could escape into my world of make believe. And it was like magic.......... So I digged into this world deeper and deeper, I found my bubble of escape. I felt a bit like a childhood girl looking through a lot of dolly store windows. But it felt so good.....
Fast forward to today.....June 2017.....a year in which I am feeling much better....what's that old saying: "Time heals all wounds", and in my case that seems to be happening. I still have days with less energy, but overall I feel much more capable and energetic.

And with this healing comes a restlessness, a feeling of wanting to do more, learn more, see more. In the past two years I shut myself away from my studio because my body and soul gave me no choice. What I was going through was invisible to others, hidden under my clothes. Only my husband saw my pain and it was not easy for him either......
But INSTA-LAND became my world and since then I became best friends with my smartphone, my computer and everything that I met online. I think that I can see that I was more online then onlife!
But now the time has come that I need to free myself and take part in life outside my four walls. It's time to free myself and step away from my computer and step into my studio again with fresh energy to make a fresh start.
Because of the Blythe dolls I survived and I spend my days to educate myself by binge watching tons of YouTube video's with intructions on how to customize a Blythe doll. I want to continue to create my imaginary world of characters for you but with a new direction of design.
Now it's time for me to spread my wings....to create and design new things. And I really do hope to bring you new and wonderful things.

I hope that Milly Me Designs will become a home and platform to connect with you collectors of teddy bears and Blythe dolls. I hope it will a little bubble of escape and a little glimps through my window........

The first tiny project that I did was to design a knitting pattern for Blythe stockings. The beginning was a complete drama. I think I've been pulling out my knitwork at least 7 or 8 times. The stitches are really tiny, so every time I needed to start all over again. But finally I managed to made one stocking and I'm over the moon with it how it turned out. It needs a bit of here and there, but this is a good pattern that I can use for many designs: solid color stockings, stripes etc. They are especially designed and made for the Azone Pure Neemo doll bodies size S.

I've been asked if they are for sale? Yes, they will become available. But first I want to make some stock. It's hard to predict when they will be available, but my goal is September.
If you wish to be the first to know and when they become available, then you should consider of joining my mailing-list. Click > HERE <

Enjoy the photo's......... Oh and the little handknitted bunnies can be adopted as well...!!! Stay in touch and stay tuned....!!!

Well, hello there. I know, it’s been so long…! These past few weeks were kind of insane. As you probably got it I recently launched the new website. However, I was pretty much exhausted afterwards. The last couple of weeks have been very rich in emotions. That’s the least to say! My brain has been so focused on all the webwork that I'm kind of exhausted after going through such an intensive period. After updating my Pinterest page and launching my new Facebook Page (I'm still working on the last one) I decided to take some time for myself to cool off, to refresh, to reboot. Meanwhile I've also been working on new business cards, new labels and new certificates. But more about this later.........
