Fragile

Sometimes, one feels fragile and alone, with a want (or is it need?)
that can’t be fulfilled.

Happy Easter!

Works of art

My dolls are the perfect canvases for me, and they give me a creative outlet. Whether it is working on a faceup, sewing clothes for them (albeit only on very rare occasions), and posing them for photos, I always find great enjoyment in fussing over them.

Some may knit, sculpt or draw. I play with dolls. ^___^

Lazy weekend

There’s nothing better than to sleep in on a Sunday, and just relax. ^__^

(Am not looking forward to the start of another work week tomorrow; but at least I’m on the late shift, so that’s one small blessing!)

Waltz

There’s a big girl in the house! ^__^

Since getting into the hobby, I’d always prefered male ball-jointed dolls to female ones, and for well over a year, I never really had the urge to change that. I do have one girl though, but Cricket is only small (a LatiDoll Yellow).

Lately however, I’ve been admiring more girly dolls on forums and Flickr, and I felt that with 4 big boys at home, it was time to find them a little sister. Volks School C was my first choice (and still is my dream girl doll), but I’d chanced upon a SD10 Sara that was looking for a new home, and after 2 weeks, she is home and now known as Waltz.

Her faceup is my first attempt at a proper girlish faceup for a SD girl, and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out for a first go. She’s always slightly unsure, and needs reassurance and encouragement from others.

Pip and the bunny

My first attempt at a stop-motion clip. Still needs work, but it was fun to make!

I hope you enjoy all 7 seconds of it! ^__^

The weekend’s here again

Went out for a mini doll meet and lunch with two friends today. Kenn came along (dressed like she is in the photo), and I also brought the Lati twins. It was nice to just sit and have lunch and chat about both dolly and non-dolly things. ^__^

Whole!

Finally after two months of searching, I have found a body for Manabu (Volks Tony)! I was stiffed by a few different sellers, who had a change of mind before the transaction was finalised, but then I found a SD13 normal leg body for sale from a girl I had bought from before. So it all turned out for the best in the end!

I am so happy to have no more floating heads around! ^___^

Kenn’s new haircut

*mie — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 12:31:42 +0000

I know some people have pretty strong opinions about keeping a original Kenner Blythe as untouched as possible, and only restore what is essential. I respect that, and agree that restoration only where needed.

Over the weekend though, I’ve given my first Kenner a haircut. :3 It wasn’t necessary, but she did have frizzy/melted hair at the tips, so I thought she would look cute with a shorter hairstyle. So far, people’s reactions have been positive, so I haven’t had the need to fend off any nasties.

And to top it off, I think I did a good job on the cut, and it makes her look kawaii! ^__^

Happy Every Day Star Dancer?

Charlie was the last Blythe doll that came to live with me, and that was back in June 2007. Since then, I haven’t been interested in buying any more Blythes. For some reason, the new releases don’t really appeal to me?

Charlie is best friends with Catie and I’m so happy to be able to adopt her from a friend in Singapore. Charlie’s wearing part of the stock outfit of Star Dancer Takara Blythe in this photo.
