This is Halloween!

I'm a bit late to the party, but happy Halloween everyone~ ♥ Even though it's not celebrated that much here in Finland, me and Sarg absolutely love it :D Luckily this holiday has gotten more popular during the last few years and there is a lot of Halloween related stuff (decorations, candy, costumes, etc.) for sale everywhere, we even managed to find some things that we can use for dolls!

Anyway, we prepared for this Halloween photoshoot for a few weeks by gathering the needed supplies and crafting decorations little by little. Some of the things weren't ready until yesterday, though X'D The idea was for a few of our Azone girls to have a fun Halloween party with costumes, snacks and decorations that fit the theme~ First I'll show you these photos and then talk more about the preparations we did :)

Group shot of the party girls!

Watch out, Basil the turtle is trying to run away :DD

Apparently the cake is (or was..) good!

Poor Red Ridinghood got scared of the Wolf  >3<

After this, the party got pretty wild... Seems like the girls got too much sugar, we probably should've made them some salty snacks as well ^^; As always, the trouble seemed to get started by the Picconeemos hahah...

....And this is when we decided that the party is over :'D

Some of the girls are wearing Azone's own clothing, but some of the stuff is self-made. I wanted to take photos of the ones that I sewed and show them in a bit more detail, even though they're nothing special.

These are probably the simplest Halloween costumes ever... I just cut random pieces of white cotton fabric and then cut eye holes on it :D It doesn't look so neat, but we thought it'd be fun if the outfits looked like the dolls made these themselves lol. We chose Kirari and Mayuna to be the ghosts since they're both Maya and have the same eye color, if you couldn't see their hair it'd be difficult to tell them apart!

Yui's mummy costume is probably the strangest doll related thing that I've ever done... I mean, you don't often cut many strips of white fabric and cover a doll with it almost completely :''D But for such a simple costume, it actually looks quite fun! It would've been even more fun to mix in some fake blood, but I didn't want to risk her body getting stains. Maybe next year I could try to do that with one of my resin dolls?

This is actually the only "proper" costume that I made, even though I had planned to make several ^^; I just run out of time... We imagined that Aurora is the one who organized the party, so of course she wanted to put on a pretty costume :3 Last year I made a pointy hat like this for my Soom Sweet Witch (Derinda), so it was easy to use the same pattern, just in smaller scale~

The biggest work was with all treats! What would a Halloween party be without Halloween themed snacks to eat >3<

Most of the candy and other treats are self-made, there are just a few Re-ment additions :) I didn't take close-ups from everything, just a couple of my favorite things!

We made a bunch of different candies - simple round balls and marshmallows in different color variations

Sarg made the best Halloween cake ever! ♥ I can't believe how she just made this from scratch without using any reference *o*

She also made another cool cake, this one even has a piece that you can put on a plate for the doll to eat!

Pumpkin lollipops with faces~

And Jack Skellington lollipops XD All of them have a face with different emotion!

Recently we have also gotten interested in felting and these three little cats are the first things we've made :) We even gave them cute names lol... The biggest one is Tohvi, the dark one in the middle is Toope and the other small one is Juju.

We were also planning to take some pictures of our three Iplehouse girls (Terra, Brenda and Jade), but decided to leave that for later, as the photoshoot with Neemos took quite a lot of time and energy ^^; So, hopefully sometime next week we'll have the time to take those photos and share them! They won't be Halloween related anyway, although I made a new tank top for Sarg's Terra from the cutest "monster" themed fabric that I found XD

Hope you guys had a great Halloween weekend, even if you don't celebrate it! ♥
