Produced by BIC Plastic, this item is limited to 25 pieces and available at the Toy Art Gallery booth #400. Price unrevealed at time of this post tho. The grey accented lines gives it a sublime "sophistication" … I wonder how it would look with BLACK instead of grey tho …

Bright and cheery tablecloths and runners make a wonderful decoration for any baby shower. How can they not be when they're filled with bright pink and bright blue baby girl and baby boy colors?
Any of the fabrics in my LWOriginals “It’s Raining Baby Showers” fabric collections at http://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/lworiginals can be used to make tablecloths and runners.
For the tablecloth pictured above we used our It’s A Girl! It’s A Boy! 4 Designs Squares fabric at http://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/889314 .
The amount of fabric you will need will depend upon whether you are making tablecloths or runners, how much you want the tablecloths to overhang the table, how big the tables are, and how many tables you are going to cover. Measure accordingly then by the number of yards of fabric that you will need.
Each of our tables and runners have lace around the edges so you should buy enough lace trim to go around all the edges of all the tablecloths and runners you are making and provide a 1 1/2” overlap on the ends.
My Linda's How-Do-I Series? How To Make Our Baby Nicky and It's A Boy! It's A Girl! Centerpiece Dolls Cut and Sew Favor Ornaments E-Book is a 4-page e-book that shows you how to make my tablecloth and runner. They are really easy to make. You're going to love decorating your baby shower with them. Plus, they can be used afterwards by the mother-to-be as doilies for babies bureaus, etc.
Have fun making your tablecloths and runners.

How I Made My Needle Felted White and Multi-Colored White/Burgundy Rose Pictures
Since my pink and multi-colored purple roses had come out so well I decided to create an all white rose and multi-colored white/burgundy rose using some of my sister's alpaca, Sunflower's beautiful white roving.
As I was used to the rose mold by now I had no problem putting the white rose together except I was still breaking needles. The needle felting needles do tend to break very, very easily. I ended up going through 2 more needles before I was finished with all my roses. If you're going to embark on a needle felting adventure be sure to buy lots, and lots of replacement needles as you are going to need them.
My sister and I had bought some 6" by 8" unfinished picture frames with 3 1/2" by 5 1/2" picture opening that I thought would look nice when finished with my white rose and multi-colored white/burgundy rose. Once again, I had decided that gluing them within the picture frame area and having them projecting out of the frame would be a nice way to finish these roses.
For these two roses, however, I wanted them to appear to be long stemmed roses so I needed to create a long needle felted stem for each.
I pulled a 6" long and 1" wide piece of the green felting that I was using for this particular rose's leaves and using the pen style needle felting tool and needle felting mat just kept rolling it and felting the green roving until I had a long stem about 5" long and about 1/2" wide that was pretty dense. Using the single needle felt needle I felted the leaves I had created for this rose to the left and right sides of the middle of the stem until they were secure and then I felted the top of the stem to the back of the white rose.
I thought my needle felted white rose would look nice with a light blue felt backing and complementary blue sponged frame so I painted the frame first with light blue acrylic paint and then sponge painted it with a combination of medium blue, lilac, yellow, and white acrylic paint. Then I applied one coat of varnish.
I added the light blue felt backing and a small amount of batting to the 3 1/2" by 5 1/2" picture opening as backing for my rose and then hot glued my rose to the felt.
I was so pleased with the way the white rose came out that I decided to use Sunflower's white roving and some nice burgundy colored roving I had previously bought to create a multi-colored burgundy and white rose.
I used the other 6" by 8" unfinished picture frame with 3 1/2" by 5 1/2" picture opening that I had bought for my multi-colored white/burgundy rose. Once again, I had decided that gluing it within the picture frame area and having it project out of the frame would be a nice way to finish this rose.
However, I wanted this rose to be more festive for the upcoming Christmas holiday season. So, I decided to back this long stemmed rose with dark red felt and finish the frame with holiday colors.
I pulled a 6" long and 1" wide piece of the dark olive green felting that I was using for this particular rose's leaves and using the pen style needle felting tool and needle felting mat just kept rolling it and felting the dark olive green roving until I had a long stem about 5" long and about 1/2" wide that was pretty dense. Using the single needle felt needle I felted the leaves I had created for this rose to the left and right sides of the middle of the stem until they were secure and them I felted the top of the stem to the back of the multi-colored white/burgundy rose.
I thought my needle felted multi-colored white/burgundy rose would look nice with a dark red felt backing and complementary dark red sponged frame so I painted the frame first with dark red acrylic paint and then sponge painted it with a combination of burgundy, Christmas green, Christmas red, and white acrylic paint. Then I applied one coat of varnish.
I added the dark red felt backing and a small amount of batting to the 3 1/2" by 5 1/2" picture opening as backing for my rose and then hot glued my rose to the felt.
I like how they both long stemmed roses turned out and will probably create some more of the roses as the mold is really easy to use and adding the long stem was just a matter of rolling and felting the roving. Once you get the hang of it that is pretty easy to do as well.

Tamashii Nation gets bad with Sol Badguy, Forte, more
Sailor Moon is not the only big name shown off at the Tamashii Nation 2012 preview event that just happened. There's much more and it features some pretty bad people.
Probably one of the titles that has long been overdue for official figures was finally revealed at the Tamashii Nation 2012 preview event. Sol Badguy from the soon to be re-released series Guilty Gear will be added to the D-Arts line of poseable figures. Only the figure was shown so we don't know for sure what additional parts will be included such as faces and effect parts. He isn't the only fighting game character coming. From the spiritual successor of Guilty Gear, Blazblue, the Silver Knight Hakumen will also be coming to the D-Arts line with his mighty blade. Again, just the figure with no details but still exciting news!
Rockman X has seen quite a few entries into the D-Arts line but the original series is finally getting more attention. One of those entries is one that I've been dying someone would finally do, the hot headed Forte (Bass) who is coming along with Gospel (Treble) to do battle with the already announced Rockman and Rush. Will we see Blues (Protoman) and Roll also come? I for one would much rather have Dr. Light and Dr. Wily. And cute to see all the mutli-colored Rockman figures. Doubt we'll actually see those.
Finally, the Senran Kagura Figuarts ZERO figures finally sees its five color of Asuka that fans can vote on though they are awfully close to each other. Also announced from the latest Senran Kagura title is Yumi who continues the ridiculous breast busting out of outfit theme. Yikes!
Once gain, lots to get excited about. Who are you all over? And since more and more is happening, who would you like to see from any of these titles?

Tamashii Nation 2012 preview has a load of anime figures
Tamashii Nation 2012 may be tomorrow officially but the preview event is already giving us and then some for figure announcements. We've seen Sailor Moon and Sol Badguy to name a couple of big announcements. Now there's a slew of anime titles that are either getting new releases or their very first. There's just too much to count and more that's being dug up.
The big thing for Bandai that was teased earlier is Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic which still has its anime running. An assortment of characters are being covered including Aladdin, Sinbad, Alibaba, and Morgiana to name a few. These characters will be seeing releases for the Figuarts ZERO and Chibi-arts lines.
Some of the other noteworthy announcements for the S.H. Figuarts line include Lelouch from Code Geass, Izumi from Another, Golden Darkness from To LOVEru, Nagisa from AKB0048, the entire cast of 009 Re:Cyborg, and Cure Peace from Smile Precure. In fact, Bandai has several figures of Cure Peace and Yayoi from Smile Precure! coming including a multitude of chibi-arts figures. Also coming to the chibi-arts line is Meer from Gundam SEED Destiny. There's also the Third Angel from Evangelion being added to the S.H.MonsterArts line.
And then we mustn't forget Tiger & Bunny which will see Figuarts ZERO figures for Antonio and Nathan in their casual clothes. All the ladies from Strike Witches are there from the Armored Girl Project line along with Laura and Cecilia from IS: Infinite Stratos.
Is that everything? No? Cripes! I'm winded just typing all of this! Hit the gallery for all those figures and then some more and start working on that budget for 2013. Cripes!!!

Mikatan shares some photography tips
Although Mikatan's photos are pretty much all alike, I always like the shots she takes in her previews. The simple setup in front of her computer, with office lighting, does a fine enough job highlighting the figure she's showing off. This time Mikatan has a post about the process. It's really pretty inspired in its minimalism.
She shoots with a "borrowed" Sony Alpha 350. It's supported by her knee because she's too lazy to use a tripod. The lighting is done by holding cardboard over the figure, casting a shadow to give it some depth. Easy but effective!
The post also discusses Nendoroid joints. I've never had a problem with them, like, conceptually, but maybe if your spatial reasoning isn't on my level then it's worth a read.
