My Lucky Girls In Their New Outfits

So my American Girls let me know they felt left out because Tallulah, Zoë, Maya and Anais got new clothes and they didn't, SO I dedicated my day to making my girls some new outfits.

Don't they look cute in their new outfits? They are MUCH happier now. ^n^ Poor Mandy couldn't make because she is getting a spa treatment. I hope to include her in the next photo shoot of the girls.

I made these to go with the skirts for 3 of my lucky girls.

I wonder which of my lucky girls I made these skirts for... Any guesses???

BJDs Are Addictive and Resolution

It's true! They are just as addictive as Blythe. I had 5 Neo Blythe PLUS 17 LPS Blythe and Petite Blythe Cinnamon Girl. I have re-homed 2, Cappuccino Chat and Friendly Freckles (she went to my oldest daughter), bringing my current count down to 3. I'll admit I do have one of my dream girls on layaway. I'm excited because I'll be getting Neo Blythe Cinnamon Girl who will be paid off on the 26th and on her way home to me!

Now back to the BJD addiction. I have a few resin dollies in various stages of layaway.

Current Layaway List (in no particular order):
* Lati Yellow Xmas Elf ver Coco - 3/6
* Pukipuki Cupid (w/ both blank OE & SP) - 3/5
* 5Stardoll Tong Tong (head w/ company faceup) - Paid Off (Ships :: 7/18/2012)
* PukiFee Luna - 1/4
* Lati White Sp. Kong - 1/3
* Minifee Luka (blank sleep head) - Paid Off (Already sold... long story short, MNF bodies cost roughly $400 by themselves after shipping. TOTALLY out of my budget.)

No more new dolls until current dolls on layaway are paid off! Okay, at least more than half of my outstanding layaways are paid off. ^_^ I'm serious because I really want a LittleFee Luna or Rachel and/ or Ante. Not to mention my Tong Tong needs a body which I'm not sure if I should order straight from the company or go through Denver Doll Emporium which would be cheaper BUT a longer wait. Either way it's a pre-order and it'll take minute before it ships. Decisions, decisions, decisions... I'm definitely learning patience is a virtue.

BUT I can't put anymore dolls on layaway before getting my current ones almost completely paid off, otherwise I'd be working to pay layaways which wouldn't be good considering I have 5 human children (12 yo to 13 mos) who need necessities as well as wants, good thing my hubby is really supportive. So, I've decided to sell my dolly wears (for 18" American Girl, Blythe and tiny BJDs like Bobobie, Lati Yellow, PukiFee, PukiPuki and Lati White Sp) on etsy to help fund my dolly buying plus I need this creative outlet to fill the creative void in my life. So be on the lookout for sneak peeks and shop announcements.

New Arrivals and Departures

Well A LOT has happened since the last post... There was a death in the family, I received my VERY first BJD and also re-homed 2 girls.

So I guess I'll start with a photo of my current Neo Blythe and BJD dollies.




Meet my girls: Zoë (PD2A w/ FrF scalp), Tallulah (Bobobie Lucky Girl in Pink Resin), Anais (PD2S w/ BV scalp) and Maya (Custom SBB w/ Faux Fur wig made by me ^n^) I'm so grateful to have Tallulah in my life. She has re-ignited my creative spirit and I've been able to get behind my sewing machines after a 3 year hiatus due to the death of the very person, my Grandma, who taught me how to sew and encouraged my creativity. The dresses on the girls in the above photo were made by me. Here's a couple more photos of Tallulah and my handmade creations. I'm glad to be able to get behind my sewing machines and be creative again. There are A LOT more dresses in the works for Tallulah, my Blythe girls and YOUR girls too!! ^u^

New Developments In BJD land

I know real corny but it's true. So over the weekend, I decided to visit another dolly forum that I belong too and came across a Lati Yellow Lea head. I contacted the seller and was going to purchase her until I ran into the problem of actually finding a body for the head. So, I was a bit crushed because I thought that my chance at a Lati Yellow had passed me by.

Boy, was I ever wrong. Check out my first BJD purchase EVER!

Lati Yellow Christmas Elf ver. Coco (2011)

It’s official!!! I got the privilege of adopting this cute little girl from a lovely lady on DoA (these are her pics). Yes this little sweetie will be all mine in a few weeks, she’s currently on layaway. Her name will be Talia and she is a Lati Yellow Christmas Elf ver. Coco (2011). Doesn’t she have the sweetest face? I can’t wait to get her.
Here’s the thing, these little cuties were the whole reason why I became interested in BJDs in the first place and now for a Lati Yellow to be my FIRST BJD, I am over the moon excited!! I thought they were the cutest little things and I’ve always wanted one and to actually be getting one, words can’t even express the joy I’m feeling.
Now, I’m trying to figure out how to pay her off sooner than later. LOL Talia has already stolen my heart and she’s not even here yet. I can’t wait to sew for her. I mean already sew for my American Girls and Blythe dolls. I think sewing for her may help me pass the time. I may be a little antsy though now that I know she is mine and will be coming. As of right now, I have 1 payment down, 5 to go!

So EXCITED!!!
