Well, I started a new outfit for Cuprit, and the scalloped strips have been dyed and are hanging up to dry, dripping excess paint on the plastic below. Once they are dry, they need to be heat-set, washed to remove excess paint, then all the edges need to be painted gold. Then they have to be beaded.
In the meantime, I've started a new pattern for Miki so she'll have something to wear when the special outfits her size get sold. I've decided to make some of my old baby clothes into doll-size dresses for Miki (and Layla, when she comes). No one is ever going to wear those old baby dresses again, and they are too sentimental to me to throw out, so I figure take them out of storage and make miniature versions for some of my dolls. I'm starting with a flouncy blue dress I made for Mary when she was very little. Picking the dress apart felt a bit weird at first, but after awhile it got easier. Now it's all in pieces, and I have to carefully press everything before cutting out the pieces for the new dress.
