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!!!

Alanna wanted some new tights to go with her outfit I made and new shoes. I couldn't resist. Aren't her tights snazzy? :-) Yes those tights are made from the tutorial I found on pintrest.

Pintrest Anyone?

I signed up for Pintrest months ago and don't ask me what made me go there this morning but I'm REALLY happy that I did. I came across soo many tutorials for some fun AG things. I've already made a pair of tights and socks (will post pics later) from an old knee high sock that was missing it's mate. LOL I also found out the Dollar Store is my new place to purchase materials for re-purpose doll clothing projects. I already sort of knew since the tank that I made for Alanna Rue was made from a black dollar store t-shirt.

 

 Now I will be looking for more hidden gems not only at the Dollar Store but also at Target in the clearance section for women undies that I can transform (re-purpose) into AG clothing as well.

So excited with ALL the possibilities!

These little ladies decided that they wanted to take advantage of the nice weather and go out on a picnic. Hiking Trip & Outdoor Afternoon are this weeks 52wpb & 52 weeks of Blythe stars!

I don't know if she has one or not but she sure does look like she's up to something. LOL

Chloe (a.k.a. Romantic Alice Blue Version Pullip) joined the family some weeks ago but I've been too busy to take photos of her. So, I made her this week's ADAW photo star.

BJD Dolly Dilemma Of Sorts

Alright as I already posted, I would like to get my first BJD and I thought that I would get two YoSD sized Doll-Love YoYo but after some reading on the Den of Angels forum (for those who don't know, it's the go to forum for BJDs), I came across some more 27cm girls plus a couple of 16cm AND 42cm BJDs that I would like to help create my BJD family. After looking at the dolls, I actually got my tape measure and ruler out to see how tall these dolls would stand. LOL
Check out these beautiful girls...

Now do you see my dilemma? Who should I get first? Should I get them with company faceups or get them commissioned? That actually makes a difference on whether they'll pre-orders or in-stock items. These are some beautiful sculpts and I want ALL 4 of them. LOL I thought that I wanted the Doll-Love Yoyo but after finding these beautiful girls, she isn't a "must-have BJD" anymore.

Decisions... Decisions.....

All Paid Up...

Remember those layaways that I spoke about a little less than 2 months ago. Well I can proudly say that I am the proud new official owner of Romantic Alice (Blue Version), AG #21 AND I even found a bait Basaak during my journeys but I decided that I won't get Another Alice Pullip. LOL

BUT there will be another new girl joining my dolly family. She will be like no other because she will be resin girl. Yes I will be getting my first resin ABJD! Can I squee now or should I wait until she arrives? How about I do it now and later. LOL

So after a lot of going back and forth on different doll companies... Soom, ResinSoul, Bobobie, Doll Leaves, Luts, etc. I finally made my choice and I will be getting two Doll-Love YoYo in Brown (Tan) and Pink (YoSD/ 26.5cm or 10.5") resin... I think. I'm still deciding if I want both or not.

If you have ever been in the doll community I'm sure you have heard of Asian Ball Jointed Dolls or ABJDs or BJDs. They don't come like the photo above unless you purchase them with fullsets which include the company faceup, clothing, shoes and wig. Mine will only come with the faceup since they are my first BJDs but she will be nude and bald. I'm super excited but have to wait at least 2 months because they're pre-order dolls.

So excited!!
