Momo and Melon

Left: Momo (wouldn't stop moving!!)-------------------------Right: Melon

Took pics of my lovebirds recently =D Momo is female and Melon is male. Normally you wouldn't be able to tell a lovebird's gender by just looking and stuff unless you do a dna test...but there are cases where their behavior and actions reveals their gender. Fortunately I was able to tell without doing a dna test. =D I have my lovebirds for about 2 years now...and I've been guessing/ assuming that Momo is a girl and Melon is a guy, till last year around october when one time I accidently saw Melon on top of Momo doing you know what...lol. At that time I was pretty convinced about their genders but not 100%...I had this weird thought that maybe they'll take turns being the 'male' or something...o_O...XD...so I looked up info on lovebirds online and stuff and from what I've read, females legs when standing tends to spread apart more than males...and yes Momo's legs does spread apart more and Melon's legs are pretty close together. A while after the first time I saw them doing you know what, I saw it again a few times, and Melon was on top all those times. Plus I saw him feeding Momo mouth to mouth with his seed paste a few times. (gross >.<) so yea I'm certain about their genders...lol...recently Momo's behavior is getting more aggressive...one time I saw her pulled out a bunch of Melon's lower back feathers! Poor Melon...=( I was worried about Melon's safety so I searched online for some info on lovebirds behaviors. Apparently female lovebirds can be quite aggressive towards their mate...and there were cases where female lovebirds can kill male lovebirds. o_O...a lot of posts I've read in lovebird forums suggests separating the two lovebirds in separate cages to stop the violence. I think its mean to separate them but if the violence continues, I'll have no choice but to do it. I got them some new toys...hopefully they will distract Momo. I rather she rips the toys apart than Melon!!

Working on website...

I finally updated my website with new items! Among the new items, there's 4 long sleeve floral dresses. Those were challenging to make. I forgot how long I spent trying to figure out how to sew the front opening part...0_o...but I'm glad they turned out great. =D I'm charging them a bit more than my other dresses coz of the amount of work and time it takes to make one....plus the fabric is absolutely gorgeous~ I can only make 2 of each of the 4 floral dresses coz of the limited laces I have. Too bad I couldn't get more. =(

Now that I finished all the current orders, I'm gonna spend time making the website look better. There are 2 pages (my girls and customizing tips) that I've been leaving them blank. I'm gonna work on the my girls page first...have it set up and take pics of my girls after. I have 5 girls waiting for me to customize so until they're finished, I won't be taking pics of them. I'm planning to make a little profile for each of my girls with their pic, birthdate (if I still remember XD) and the customzing work I did for them. As for the customizing tips page, I still have the pics from the old customzing tips page but they're not that good...so I'm gonna take new pics, rewrite the steps and put them up later. Its gonna take a while. lol... but I'm gonna do it. I've left that page blank for too long.

Recently I felt like my Blythe clothes look boring....like they're nothing special. I'm really lacking inspiration...I guess I really don't have what it takes to be a doll fashion designer/ maker...=( I have all these new unused fabrics and accessories and I'm not using them...actually its more like dunno what to do with them. What I should make out of them. sigh... anyways...I should work on my website first...I'll be relisting the sold items on etsy soon. =)
