What have I been up to lately?

So my sister bought some doll heads for her Volks and Obitsu dolls and as a trade I volunteered to root some of her heads.  One is done as of today.  Going to start on the next one in the next couple of days.  I want to work on a Liv doll wig I started a couple of weeks ago.    But here are some pictures of the doll head I completed.

Sorry for the crap pictures.  My camera seems to be slowly dying a slow painful death.  But until I can get a new one I’ll have to make do.  So the colors here are like a neon orange and blue color mix.  Did you know orange and blue are complimentary colors?  My sister has originally started the rooting of this doll, but then the Volks body she was working with broke.  Well I have figured out how to fix it, so hopefully there will be a finished picture of this gal soon.

But that’s all I’ve been working on as of late.  I have been wanting to work on amigurumi patterns, but I can’t figure out how to make what I want to make.  I have an idea, but then I will have a problem when it comes to the eyes.  I might have to crochet them too since I don’t have safe eyes and I want to make my stuff kid safe from toddler on up.  But since I won’t be selling the actual items but the patterns then I guess I could just get some eyes for the pattern as a suggestion.  I’ll have to look into that.  I want to get some Suncatcher Eyes so badly.  I think a purchase from them is in my near future.  And I’m also thinking about making some sewn stuffed animal patterns as well.  I have some ideas in mind for special animals and items.  Stay tuned for that.    Still working on some stuff to get things organized and sorted, but it’s coming along.  I have two more doll posts coming this week and then I may go quite again for a while as I continue to organize.  Man I wish I could sort out my camera issues.  That would make me so happy.  This pictures were taken on the quick so I knew they’d basically suck, but my camera is just having issues with normal zoom pictures.  Maybe I need to tinker with the settings.  It’s getting testy in it’s old age.  I hope to be able to buy a new one soon.  I don’t know if I could ever go as far as a Nikon although they are mighty beautiful.  Maybe one day.  Hey, a girl can dream.    Bye for now kids.

Screw it people! I need to talk!

Yeah, I’m back here talking again because I need to just talk and really don’t know where to do it.  In the past couple of days life got hectic for others around me and I can’t help but feel stressed over it.  I don’t even know where to start.  I guess with my family.  So both my parents have diabetes and high blood pressure.  Now my dad’s is more under control, but my mom has had both longer and it’s out of control and she doesn’t take care of herself, well neither of them do, but she’s worse off.  I’m worried about her big time and don’t want anything bad to happen to her.  And I know life is so crazy that something could happen to her and that thought just scares me.  I can’t imagine my life without my mom in it.  I know one day I will have to face that truth but I would like to think I have a good amount of time before I have to face that horrible moment.  My sister and I have been trying to get her to watch her sugar but it’s not easy when my dad keeps bringing unhealthy crap into the house.  I can’t say I’m innocent of such acts, but I worry more about others than myself.  Yeah, my mom’s the same way. 

 

Posts coming tomorrow…errr later on today.

I got glutened yesterday by a product that is gluten free, and might I add super yummy, but processed on flour lines.  I didn’t know that until after I had helped my sister polish off most of it.  An hour or two later had me in bed sick as a dog and getting a rash.  I’m feeling a lot better now but still a bit of breathlessness and panic.  So the posts I wanted to make today will have to wait.  *sigh* Well they will be better if I am not rushing through them so I can lay down again.  So expect a post from me soon. Bye for now.

I never knew Ken was into bondage!

So I was cam chatting with my friend last night and she showed me a picture of one of her daughter’s Ken dolls.  So what was so special about this guy?  Well let me try my best to tell you the story.  Sarah correct any of this if I am wrong.  So Sarah heard her girls laughing and was wondering what was up, so she walked down the hall towards their rooms and as she got to her youngest’s room a Ken doll landed at her feet.  Looking down and seeing what was done to the poor guy she instantly felt sorry for him.  Why?  Have a look.

 

Guess what came in the mail today?

Well more like yesterday now, but still. :-) My Blybe is here finally all the way from Thailand!!! She's a pretty as a picture and not as low quality as I expected. I didn't really know what to expect when it was said she was a medium quality doll, but now I know. She's clearly not high quality but she's not dirt cheap either. I am taking some pictures of her today and tomorrow and I will post more about her tomorrow.

Oh and if I have not responded to your comments yet I will. I have just been dealing with RL issues at the moment and just haven't had time. I will do so and thank you all so much for the comments and please do keep them coming. :-) Love you all and will be back tomorrow with a post about Penelope. :-)

Look at what made me click "Buy It Now".

If all goes well, this shall be my Penelope. She's a Blybe doll, no I did not misspell that. I first learned about Blybe dolls through Dolls Ahoy when she mentioned one she liked. I already had an ADG Blythe doll and simply love her. I named her Ann Marie after the main gal in the "That Girl" show. I am very much into mod and I needed my first girl to be a mod gal. Who better to be my mod gal than a Blythe right. I have been neglecting my poor gal and need to give her some TLC after the much neglect. She needs some more outfits and her hair needs some tending to. I can't wait to have Penelope here though. I can picture them standing next to each other. If I like her quality enough and the seller then I will buy a few more dolls to customize some characters I have in mind then I will switch back to Blythe and try customizing Blythes.

Now let me tell you that if you are interested in getting a Blbye doll, please know they are not as good quality as Blythe from what I've read. Their waist joint seems loose and wobbly so you either have to do a body switch or do a trick I learned about on Flickr, put a rubber band around the waist and then the body is fine. The seller of Penelope says she will do this before sending the doll off. That will be cool if she did. I won't do a post about this seller until the transaction is complete. But if it all works out you all will be hearing about her for sure.

Ok well that's all I really wanted to pop back on and talk about. Now I'm off to watch the movie. Byers all, and be good.

A quick pop in.

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been posting much. Still Spring cleaning mostly. I know I have some comments I need to get back to and I will do that this week. Thank you for all the comments, I love getting them. I hope when I am done with the cleaning I can respond to them quicker.

During my breaks from cleaning I've also been working on my website which has a new layout, my shop banners, and my links and favorites so I can have a big list of all the cool doll places I've found online and can just easily add to the list when I find more. So that's where I am at now.

Oh, but also while doing all that I will surf the web to find some new stuff to look at and I found myself on this neat site called "We Heart It" It's a site where you can heart pictures you find online. I know there may be some copyright issues with the site, but the site links back to the page all pictures on the site were found. So I honestly think it's just more exposure for the sites the pictures came from.

Now on this site I found a very interesting picture I just had to share. Now while this picture is not bad in the least, until you get a good look at it you may think I've just gotten raunchy on you all today. I would not view it in front of kids or at work because of what it "looks" like from the passerby. So here goes, take a look at this interesting picture. Warning, doll nudity. :-D



Ok, now that the shock has worn off, admit it, it's pretty freaking cool. I just thought that was so cool. I mean talk about realistic looking right? My only ish is the male doll doesn't seem to have knee joints and the female doesn't have joints at all except for the arms and legs. Poo. But I'd still be tempted to buy both "dolls" because of how realistic they look. LOL! But yeah, just had to share that with you guys. Now I'm off to watch Easter Parade with my sister and then exercise. Bye for now. Be good.

Loves ya,

Happy April Fools Day!!!

Rabbits, rabbits, rabbits everyone! And Happy April Fools Day! Not more than 2 minutes when I woke up this morning did I go prank the prankster of the house...my mom. *Insert wicked grin here.* I told her I was considering breaking up with the boyfriend because he was constantly yelling at me and being cruel to me. Her mouth dropped in shock for a full minute before I said "April Fools!!!" It was funny! She called me a rat and laughed. Just had to get her before she got me...of course there is still 13 hours left to this crazy day. My boyfriend got pranked as well and well...his friend is a tard. That's all I have to say.

He played a really cruel joke on my guy...I'm secretly hoping my man will get him back...albeit in a much nicer way. To give you an idea of the joke, he told my man he had broken several bones that required surgery due to bad accident. Yeah...NOT FUNNY. Ok, it was a hair funny when you saw it was an April Fools prank, but only a sliver of a hair funny. Moreso funny that it was a joke and not real. He's a young guy, so I will leave it to his youth. Boys will be boys I suppose. Nah...I know younger men who wouldn't do that. He's a tard. :-)

So what do I have planned on this wonderfulist of days? Nothing much really. Exercise, maybe taking the pictures for my photostory and trying to find my past photostory, and hummm, look for more patterns that I may want to sew. Been collecting some patterns and have thought about starting out with some Blythe patterns as I think about the male clothes I want to make. I want them to be fun and not just your boring t-shirt and shorts. Still in the thinking mode for that.

Well that's all I wanted to say kiddies. I need to go take some Zantac...yep tummy is messed up again, get dressed to go out for a while, and change the calendar. What? That takes a conscious effort from me or I will go half a month or more before I flip it. Gonna go do it as soon as I click the button to publish. You all stay safe today and don't get to made at the pranksters in your life. They mean well. Be sure to get your revenge though, because as you know, one good prank deserves another. *Insert another wicked grin here.* Bye for now kids.
