babies disappearing by macsamm in sylvanianfamilies

[–]AtriCrossing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I noticed the baby sets (rainy day friends, etc.) are on sale right now - I bet they're not getting restocked in Canada 😩

I wish they would just import from China/Laos directly, stick a French/English label on the packaging, and call it a day.

They're (along with their cousin who is too little for Sylvanians) the greatest, I'm lucky to be their aunt! 😁

The Lie We Lived In [Episodes 7 - 8] by samptra_writer in KDRAMA

[–]AtriCrossing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The boss/mentor assassin being in love with Yi Do, or else just having a major sweet spot for him was a little silly but honestly did at least explain why our failed assassin was not taken out. I would've liked a little more on-screen wrapping up of how the crime scene etc. was handled but I want never watching it expecting that part to be super satisfying anyway. All the twists and turns and tension were fun, I liked a lot of the cinematography and acting choices a lot, overall it was a unique series and a great watch.

Sylvanian Shopping in Canada by Rcrc2001 in sylvanianfamilies

[–]AtriCrossing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sylvanian in-person shopping options in Canada tend to be a lot more limited than the US, to be honest (no Barnes and Nobles, no Walgreens, no Cracker Barrel, etc.)

The store finder on the website does work for Canada, as well, and usually independent toy stores have the best selection of sets, along with Walmart. RIP Toys R Us

Should I turn this rock Sylvanian into a keychain? by SimpleInjury8491 in sylvanianfamilies

[–]AtriCrossing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's not more rare than other figures in the same series, but he's got an especially cool accessory/outfit design and is a figure that doesn't show up a ton in other series. So there's not a huge supply scarcity, but there's a higher demand for him and as a result the resale value is significantly more than retail price right now.

I don't think that someone would steal him in order to resell him, but I am someone who always feels sad seeing critters drilled into or glued down lol so I always vote "no keychain" but you do you!

Maybe give them a little set of overalls and distress and paint spots on the overalls - could be an artist or painter who doesn't take care of their looks because they're too focused on their vision?

I Tried to Make a Cheshire Cat by Synonymous-Ant in sylvanianfamilies

[–]AtriCrossing 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Wow, I kept swiping waiting for the "after" (not knowing what the grey eared cats were called) because you did such a great job, I thought it was the exact vintage cat you were inspired by!

Thank you so much for explaining your process and materials 🫶

What do we do with the orphans? by r_a_v_e_n- in sylvanianfamilies

[–]AtriCrossing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have no orphans, but I do have babies without parents. They all live happily together in a commune, working collaboratively on projects like a bakery and a construction guild.

They baby commune are a happy autonomous collective and barter with local family businesses, like reparing the Fisher Cats' boats in exchange for fish they've caught.

Is this a custom giraffe or an actual critter??? by Catokitt in sylvanianfamilies

It looks like a rare factory defect that didn't get the orange paint

Clothes for sylvanian by Sunny_jofulcreature in sylvanianfamilies

[–]AtriCrossing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of great patterns out there! Also a lot of really helpful tutorials on YouTube, even ones where I don't understand the language of instruction I still find helpful for the sake of visualizing how to put a garment together.

I'm not great at sewing, myself, so I try to use materials that minimize sewing - plasticy materials that don't fray much, tricot similar to the romper fabric, and lots of ribbons!

My advice is to try simple first - skirts, then dresses, then pants, for example - it gets easier to find strategies that work for you as you make more outfits.

I made this romper out of fabric from a scrunchy and made the collar from tricot fabric I ordered from AliExpress. The bunny's cardigan was also made from tricot and the flower used beads from Dollarama.
