looking up

Sunday, January 30, 2011

Beatrix has gotten a gaze lift! My fingers ache with how many times I've opened her head in the past week, unscrewed the t-bar, pried out the eye mech and then urged it back into place again, and fiddled with everything. For aid on how to open her up and remove her eye mech, I found YouTube videos by BlytheMaster the most helpful. The flickering in the videos is distracting but it's nice to...

blue-haired girl, what the what??

Thursday, January 27, 2011

If you'll recall from my post about blue-haired girls I like, a little lady called Drew topped it... seriously, I flickr-stalked this girl so hard. As luck would have it, her owner Jenn got the chance to adopt a girl that she's been wanting and thus needed to downsize, so I begged her, "If you ever think about adopting out Drew, please consider me." Keeping it classy? I don't know, probably not....

To ADAD, or not to ADAD?

Monday, January 24, 2011

For a few weeks now I've been doing A Doll A Day 2011. I am not really sure whether to continue it beyond January... The benefit I see to doing ADAD is basically just to spend time with my dolls. There have been days in my past year of Blythe-collecting that have seen me not pick up any of my girls because I'm working or sick or tired. (But I've always felt like that's okay! As much as I...

(This is only half of it.)

Tuesday, January 18, 2011

Ah, the agony and the bliss of waiting for Blythe mail!! Is it just me, or is the mail taking forever these days? I feel like it is :( I'm expecting so many things. Here's some of what I'm expecting... This strawberry frock from Jolie Doll... oh, to pair it with a cute pixie hat... it's more of a spring/summer look though. A warm, rustic sweaterdress from WoollyRockers!! Klara, I got you covered,...

blue-haired girls

Sunday, January 16, 2011

You make the rockin' world go round! Blue is not a color I gravitate towards normally, but these custom girls, I always stop to look at! I'm particularly obsessed with Drew but they're all so lovely. Is it creepy to be flickr-stalking someone else's doll? Maybe... 1. Little Drew, 2. Blue mohair, finished., 3. 9/365 ADAD 2011, 4. Open B...

mad about hats

Thursday, January 13, 2011

Earlier I decided to relist this duplicate of a pixie hat that I made for someone who wanted one. However they never bought it and it sat in my shop and the listing expired. Right now Petaline is wearing it (with the frabjulous light blue Mary Janes from the Takara set I got the other day). What the hey. The ribbon was a little frayed on one end but I trimmed it up just now. Poor Petaline has...

Look how pretty!

Wednesday, January 12, 2011

Ilil and I did a trade recently and she sent me a marvelous necklace, plus bobby pins too! They are much prettier and more delicate in person than they look in these pictures and came in sweet boxes. I was so happy! I can't wait to do a pretty chignon and tuck the little floral bobby pins into my hair. Thanks, Ili...

"I've got winter madness."

Monday, January 10, 2011

It snowed last night!!!


It brought me the feeling I had last year when I had just gotten Aury, was snowed in, and started this blog. I was happy and took my Vinter Arden out immediately. Then I settled on a name for her, finally. I felt bad she was nameless for so long. Her name is Klara. I had a handful of names in my mind, but none of them really stuck; I got Klara from thinking about the book Heidi. It means "clear" and "bright."

I took both Aury and Klara out into the snow, since they are dressed for the cold weather. My first Blythe and my most recent, both winter girls at heart -- Ice Rune and Vinter Arden! Of course they had to go out to play in the snow.


I love Aury in her Reve de Rui dress and jacket, coolcat boots, and her rust-orange bear-eared hat that I crocheted a while ago!! I have the biggest, mushiest soft spot for Aury. (All the other girls know, and they are okay with it.)


My Takara Shoe Cruise Day set got here today, too. I tried out all the shoes immediately. First impression: they smell really, really plasticy... and I'm not sure how I will pair them with the clothing my girls have right now. But I like them and maybe they'll open up more clothing options! The light blue Mary Janes are very cute.

lovebox day

Thursday, January 6, 2011

I got belated Christmas gifts in the mail from my friend L today. She puts together what I have come to term "loveboxes" because they are boxes filled with 100% pure love. Inside the box were new clothes for Aury, Beatrix, and Plummery... I have been wanting a pomme-pomme dress for Beatrix for a long time, and in addition to that, she got some geeky specs and finally looks a whole lot more like the...

Happy New Year!

Saturday, January 1, 2011

Greetings, loved ones! Nothing like a little innocent piracy to cap off the year. I put together this playlist for myself of songs that I either listened to a lot this year or that represent something to me, something I did or moments shared with others. Hot Summer Jams 2010 (eta: Blogger has made me take down the music, but I'm leaving the image.) I don't really make resolutions. I don't think I...
