Catses and more catses
Everyone are getting cats - except me. One of my friends just got the cutest ragdoll kitten and another friend just got two shelter cats - one senior cat and a deaf white kitten with blue eyes. (White cats with blue eyes are in most cases deaf) My son is also talking about getting a second cat.
I really wish I could have a cat but you have to be realistic and think of the cat's best interrests. I wouldn't be able to take proper care of it so it would be very selfish to get one anyway. Whenever you are thinking of getting a pet you should always consider the pet's interrest. Are you going to be able - and willing - to give them the care and attension they need? Can you afford vet bills? After all it is a long term committment and it's very important do do the right thing - rater than do what you feel like right now.
So even if I really wish I could have a cat or a dog I'm not getting one. I guess I'll have to comford myself withn the thought that I have three incommimg dolls. Even though they are not fluffy and warm and soft they are still very cute and make me smile.

It's a dangerous place!
The Marketplace at DOA I mean. I was browsing it just to know what people were selling and then I came across two - yes two dolls that I fell in love with. They were even from the same seller. I just had to PM her and ask if she would accept a layaway. So I ended up buying both. Oops! The moral of this of course is that you should never even look at the Marketplace at all.
The dolls won't be comming home until January because I wouldn't want them to get caught up in the Christmas mail rush. They are both ws DollZone 1/4s - a Mo with a beautiful face-up and a modded Annie without face-up. I have already contacted the face-up artist I want about a spot in February. I have a beautiful Leeke wig and some eyes that will look great with it for the Annie and I'm getting the Mo with both his eyes and his wig.I am very happy and excited.
This of course means that the LittleFee Chiwoo boy I was planning to get next will be delayed. I already have his wig and have decided his eyes. I will be notifyed when they are back in stock. I also have eyes and a wig for a LittleFee girl but I haven't decided if she'll be a Lishe or a DES. The Chiwoo will have blonde hair and very blue eyes and the girl will have a beautiful red Kana Wave wig and green eyes.
Before all this I will get my tan DollZone Annie though. I'm hoping she'll be here some time during November. I also finally found out what her name was. She's called Katarina. She'll have green eyes too and I have three different wigs so I hope she'll like one of them. They are all brown.

The Fairytale of The Two Heads
Once upon a time there was a doll company called Custom House. They had event after event after event and the crazy Danish woman knew they were really really slow sending their dolls out. Still she was stupid enough to buy two heads as a split in a group order. Then the waiting began. And she waited and waited for over a year. She started to think she would never get the heads but finally they came.
The person doing the group order lived in USA and since the crazy Danish woman wanted face-ups by an American artist, she asked the person who ran the group order if she would be kind enough to hang on to the heads for a while.
Then the crazy Danish woman waited again. After months she finally got the chance to get the face-up artist to do her heads. The talented artist Xhanthi did a wonderful job with the heads and the crazy Danish woman was very happy. She ordered wigs - and while she was at it she ordered wigs for two other dolls as well.
She also ordered some special eyes for the bigger of the two heads, but they hadn't turned up when the wigs came. The crazy Danish woman really loved the wigs though and couldn't wait to show them. Even though her pictures weren't the best. It was just some quick ones she took when she received the wigs.
Here's picture of the little Bisou girl. Her eyes are a bit wonky because my fingers are too big to place them right.
Here's the Spia girl just after she arrived:
And with the new wig:
Kieron also got a new wig. He's very happy with it partly because it hides his scar somewhat.
And then there was a wig for a LittleFee Chiwoo that I want - but haven't even ordered yet. (I know I'm crazy. LOL)Tjalfe was so kind to try it for me.

Julliane's background
Like most of my dolls of course Julliane has a background too. Her mom died when she was very little - perhaps 1½ year old. So she grew up with her mom's brother that was 20 years older than her mom and his wife. They didn't really care about her. They just wanted her so be well behaved and look adorable so they could show her off to friends. They didn't understand her at all and they didn't want to try. They saw her like a doll or something.
Her aunt used to dress her up in pink with lace and frills and ruffles and such and she was always told to be careful and not make her clothes dirthy. The result is that she hates pink and lace and ruffles. She likes simple clothes in more or less dark colours - or at least not pastel.
She was never allowed to be with other children either and she is very very shy with very little confidence in herself. When she first came here she had no idea what to make of the other kids. However Vigdis who is also somewhat unsure of herself even though she's not shy like Julliane started to talk to her. They bonded very fast and have become best friends. They have much in common and they really need each other. And they are so cute together.

A shiny new one.
So last Sunday a week after my computer went down my vey good friend Grafty came to visit me. Or rather my computer. He quickly found out that my graphis card card had died. (I'm thinking of having a funeral for it.) So he borrowed me a small graphic card - you know the kind you can't really use to play games.
After he left I wanted to talk to my friend Annefia on Skype . . . and my microphone didn't work! I managed to talk to her on my laptop but it was really annoying. The next day I texted Grafty about it and he told me to make sure that the headphone was pluged in properly. It was. Then he told me to check if the plugs in the back was plugged in properly - wich they were. At least I at first thought they were. Until I realized he had pluged the microphone in the wrong place. When I told him he said something like: Oh okay really there you go who would have thought that wonders will never cease but isn't it lovely weather today. (This was 10pm and it was dark)
Then today he came back with a card we had agreed he should get for me. It's somewhat better than the one that died so it's very cool. My computer is actually 7 years old (and Grafty build it for me) but it's not that bad because back then is was SUPER good and fast. Even before I was able to play Settlers 7 even though the graphic would lag a little now and then. Now of course it doesn't lag at all. I'm very happy.
All of this of course have ruined my dolly plans. I was trying to save up so I could get a fullset next time Fairyland have an event but after having to pay a PukiFee - ehhh I mean about 250$ for a new graphic card I'm not sure I'll be able to do that. Sigh!

I hate when that happens!
I have decided to try and update more often and also talk a bit about none doll stuff in this blog. Instead of starting a new blog I'll just change the way I use this one.
Yesteday my computer broke down. I was playing a game when all of a sudden it wasn't turned on any more. Once again I realized how difficult it is for me to do without my computer. I have a laptop - a very old and cheap laptop but I have trouble using it. The screen is way too small, the keyboard is difficult to use and I don't have anywhere I can sit comfertable when using it.
The solution to those problems is of course to hook it up with the keyboard, monitor and mouse I normally use for my desktop. Sadly I can't do that myself. Not that I wouldn't be able to figure it out. After all it's pretty straight forward but it involved going down on the floor and I can't do that because of my physical problems.
Luckely my son was able to come and set it up for me. He's such a good boy. Or man perhaps - he's 31. LOL
The hours between my computer broke down and I was on my laptop was horrible though. I didn't know what to do with myself. I couldn't Check my e-mail and talk to my friend in Sweden, I couldn't check forums or anything or look for new dolly stuff to want to buy for several hours. A true nightmare I tell you. I'm sure I have been traumatized by it! LOL

The LittleFees outdoors
I wanted to take some pictures of all my kids but it was too much to take them all. So I just took my LittleFees. I couldn't bring Penny though because she shares a body with Shilling. (And when I get her face-plate Secret)
It had been raining and it was pretty gray and it was 6.30PM when I was finally ready to take the pictures. I think they light is really pretty though. It looks so soft.
Vigdis
Tjalfe
Shilling
And another one of Shilling just because I love her in her new wig
Julliana
Ans finally all four of them together
I feel I've learned something about light in photos from this.

The family is growing
My resin family keeps growing. First I ordered a DollZone Aimi in WS. Then totally spontaniously I ordered a 5StarDoll Quitus. He turned up first. His name is Desmo - short for Desmodus Rotundus.
Desmo is an unusual vampire though. The reason he has come to live here is that the other vampires doesn't want to have anything to do with him. First of all he's a really nice and kindhearted guy and then he's allergic to blood. Poor guy. LOL Having grown up with vampires he has never learned to interact with people in a normal friendly manner so he's kind of socially akward. He is a bit introvert and he really admires Maylea. (Who really admires Tjalfe. LOL)
The next one to m ove in was Tindra - my DollZone 1/4 WS Aimi. She hasn't told me anything about her background yet. She's a quiert and soft girl. And very beautiful IMO
She seems to have become close to Senja (MiniFee modded Shushu) wich I find surprising because Senja is an alien and very unusual in some ways. Amongs other things she's like 211 years old. But look at them together!
My next doll was a Fairyland LittleFee Luna named Julliane. She grew up with her uncle and aunt. Her oncle was her mom's brother but he was 20 years older than her mom. They never really understood her - or even wanted to. They saw her as something they could show off. Her aunt loved to dress her up is lots of frilly pink stuff. The more the better. She was always told to be careful and not get her clothes dirty and she was never allowed to play with other children.
She is the only one of my dolls (so far) who's generally shy. She has totally bonded with Vigdis though. This is a wonderful thing for both of them. Oh ans she hates wearing pink and loves simple clothes in darker colours.
When Julliane arrived I also got a WS PukiFee Bonnie without face-up. Her name is Mims and she's going to be a mermaid. Her face-up is done but I'm still waiting for her tail so you won't get to see her until she's finished.

I got a new head.
I bet that would creep some (non-dolly) people out. LOL
First off a picture of my Lishe head. She still needs eyelashes and I want to fix something about her mouth. I think I can do it even though I'm not very good at face-ups. This is just a small fix.
A couple of days ago I got a shipping notise for Desmo my 5SD Quintus. I'm SO much looking forward to getting him home.
The reason Desmo is comming to live with us is that the other vampires don't want to have anything to do with him. First of all he's actually a sweet and kindhearted guy and second he's allergic to blood. Poor guy but I hope he'll be happy here. LOL
I have some really exciting news! (At least exciting for me. LOL) I got a tax refund and was able to order a WS PukiFee Bonnie and a LittleFee Luna. Bonnie is going to have a custom face-up, light orange hair and green eyes and freckles - and she'll be a mermaid. Her name is Mims.
I ordered Luna with default face-up. I'm not sure about her eyes yet but I have a Jpop wig in a beautiful golden colour that I'll proably use for her. I have some purple eyes but I think she should have gray or bluish gray eyes. I don't have a name for her either. I do know what sort of clothes she likes though. She doesn't like colours that are too light or bright. I don't expect them to be home for a long time so I'm trying not to think too much about them.
