Before BJDs.

As I say in my profile I always loved dolls. And that love have expressed itself in different ways over the years. Among other things I have played The Sims and later The Sims 2 a lot. And I have also made pixel dolls for some years. Like thise!













I guess it's kind of obvious that I like fairies. LOL

Not much news about my BJDs. I have decided to not do the face-up on my SoulKid Apple myself and are making arrangements to have the head send directly from ThinkPink to an artist.

New clothing.

Today I got two outfits for Krusemynte and Pipaluk. They were made by the wonderful Dambuster at DOA. (The link only works if you're a member at DOA and have Marketplace access.)

Anyway I'm really really happy with the outfits. They are so cute and so well made.

Take a look:





Here they are wearing their hoodies. Please excuse Pipaluk not having the right wig or a face-up yet.

And then one without the hoodies on top of the dresses:





I really need to start thinking about clothes for Tjalfe for when he gets his body. Right after giving him and Pipaluk and Kristoffer a face-up. Having dolls is so much hard work! LOL

Finally here.

I finally got the two Custom House dolls I had been waiting for since December 31st!

I wasn't sure how I'd feel about them after waiting for so long and being so frustrated but of course I fell in love with them.

Picking them up wasn't without problems though. First of all Custom House hadn't marked them down like they usually do so I had to pay 150$ in tax and customs! I think it's completely unfair for a 377$ parcel!

This ment I had to go to the post office to pick the up - and pay ransome to get them. I'm disabled and and can only walk very little and it hurts to stand and wait so I have this eletrical 3 wheeled moped thingy. So off I want the 3½km to the post office - and just as I was in the middle of the door my moped broke down. Sob!

I managed to get my parcel but then had to sit an hour and wait for help. All this also ment that my moped had to go away to get fixed and they didn't have another one I could borrow so it's quite a big problem for me. I can't go out at all without something to drive on. I was told today though that it can't be fixed but I'll get a new one - wich could take a while.

I was heartbroken about it but now I know I'll get a new one - even if it's going to be really really hard waiting for it. I just hope they'll be fast.

So for several days I didn't feel happy about getting my dolls at all. They still managed to creep into my heart some way though.

Here's Kristoffer. He's 12 years old. He often seems very mischievous but he's actually a really sweet guy. He just have such a warm heart.




And here he is with Ilvara (DZ Feilian to the left) and Veronice. (Tanned Narae with Narin face-plate)





This is Pipaluk his little sister. She's 7 years old and she's very good at looking sweet and innocent but she's not that sweet at all. Most of all she's selfish and good at manipulating people. I had bought two 6/7 wigs for her but they were both too small - wich is wierd because Kristoffer's wig is the same size. So I had to give her a temporary one.




Here's Pipaluk with their smalles sister. Her name is Krusemynte and she's 5 years old. I have had her for a while. (She's the reason I wanted more Custom House dolls.) She's a very sweet girl. She's also very naive and believe everything she's told. She mostly speak in questions.




Kristoffer is a Custom House Little Junior Icarus, Pipaluk is a Petite Ai Gabriel and Krusemynte is a Ange Ai Uri. I have to say though that I would never ever get another Custom House doll. Not only because of the long and frustrating wait but also I'm not so pleased with the quallety of the tow last dolls. Kristoffer is fairly okay even though he doesn't feel so nice as Krusemynte but Pipaluk is NOT worth the money at all. Not only does the Petite Ais not pose nearly as well as Ange Ais even though the are much much more expensive but there's something wrong with her legs and knees. Take a look at a picture of the knees.






I have to say that if I had know about these issues I would never have ordered from Custom House at all.


On a brighter side I have ordered a PukiFee! I'm so happy and excited. I ordered a Shiwoo Boris fullset. I can't wait to get it. *Does a happy dance.*

New wig

Today I got a wig - custom colour from Tinybear I asked for a dark green wich is kind of difficult to make. She made it as dark as she could and the colour is absolutely PERFECT. Very very beautiful.

It's for my LittleFee Shiwoo Elf Tjalfe who is still only a face-plate. On Thursday I'm paying for his body in a split and the order will go out to Fairyland not long after that.

Speaking of Tjalf I have cleaned off my first try of a face-up and he's ready for me to try again. :o) It probably won't be until after the weekend though.

It's summer!

I have been terrible frustrated because I ordered two dolls - a Petite Ai Gabriel and a Little Junior Icarus from Custom House December 31st and not only haven't I gotten my dolls yet but there have been a lot of wrong dolls send out and dolls with flaws. I'm quite worried that my dolls will be the wrong ones or have serious flaws. And to be honest I was pretty upset when I saw that Custom House is having yet another event before they have sendt out all the dolls from the last one.

On the brigt side I just payed the last instalment on a second hand DollZone body for Linnea. (Lati Blue Censya) I was never impressed with the Lati body. The body will be shiped from GB today. Yeah!

Also the Karsh MNF sleeping head I ordered through a split at DOA is now at the local post office so the person who runs the split/group order will get it today or tomorrow. I'm not that impatient to get it though. It will be nice seing it irl but I don't consider it a "person" yet. I want to try my hand at modding and open the eyes. However the way Fairyland makes their sleeping heads now with no eye well at all I'll have to wait till I can get a Dremel. No way I can do it just using an eye beveler.

Some more good news is that the Gumdrops eyes I ordered - two sets - will be sent to the supplier from Gumdrops this week. I'm really looking forward to getting them.

Aaaaaand I ordered a PukiFee Shiwoo fullset! I'm SO excited about that. I ordered him - although I plan to make him a girl - May 17th. I can't wait to see her.

The body for my LittleFee Shiwoo Elf face-plate should be here first though. I'm hoping in three weeks or so.

I don't know if I mentioned it but I'm also waiting for a SoulKid Apple that I ordered through ThinkPink in April. The order went to SoulDoll April 25th and SoulDoll is somewhat behind on orderes at the moment so I don't expect her to be here for quite a while.


On Friday my son came to visit. I have a big problem applying eyelashes because my moter skils are not very good (because of a problem in my childhood) and my eyesight isn't good at all either. But when my son was here he put eyelashes in Tamaya. (Purple Resin Soul Ju) I think she looks adorable with those thick lashes. :o)

Sunny Saturday

Today it's the most wonderful spring weather. The sun is shining and it's quite warm outside. I really wanted to go out with my camera to take some pictures of the anemones in the nearby wood (and one or two of my dolls of course) but sadly I can't. I'm disabled and need a mobility scooter (a bit like an electrical wheelchair) to get around and it broke down Thursday. It won't be fixed until Monday at the earliest.

I should probably sow snaps and buttons on the new skirt I'm making. It's all that is left to do until I have an intire new outfit. I'm not sure who it's for yet though.

I also want to share a new picture of Hekla. I really like it a lot
