Hello lovely readers!
I just finished my Ldoll project and could use some extra funds to purchase things for the newcomers, so it would an excellent time to do some commissions now :3 All kinds of knittings would be perfect, and I could even take some small sewing commissions such as Pocketfairy / Pukifee dresses and stuff. E-mail me at dollATSIGNfairchildren.com or PM me at forums, I'm Elina in Hartsilapset and DOA for rates and stuff. Over and out!

Strangeling but cuteling!
Something weird, funny and cute was waiting for me today when I came home <3
Please meet Pio, Doll-Chateau's Hilary, my new little forest gnome. I had planned to turn her into a bird, but right now it feels she's more a strange little dreamfairy from a mystical forest. Something that Brian Froud could have drawn! This is a very temporary style quickly whipped up, the only thing that will stay is her hat...and maybe eyes? I dunno. She's very lovely and personal even if her posing skills aren't the best. Well, with her body propotions, I probably shouldn't be surprised xD
Hmmm, I wonder what kind of clothes would flatter her unique body shape. An interesting challenge awaits ;3

Hanami time
Today it was the annual cherrywatching (hanami) party at Roihuvuori's Japanese Garden. We visited quite briefly, it was quite chilly despite the sunshine. Photos of our silly outfits are again in Tumblr :3 The photos of this entry are of Gretel's finished outfit, yukata and small kanzashi flower on her head. She's wearing her stock wig since her pink Pukipuki one is tad too small. I'm hoping to be able to order her a proper-sized wig soon. 4-5 inches seem the best wig size for her.
I have more doll photos from our picnic, but I'll leave them for a later entry.

I guess I could reveal here that I'm yet again waiting for a new doll ^^; I ended up selling my second Pukifee since I never could quite grasp what I wanted with her. But don't you worry, I have something new coming to replace her ;) It's not a tiny doll nor a big one, it's from a company that already made two of my dolls and whose releases I've admired much lately, and her (yeah, it's a girl) sculpt name is something that can often be found from pizzas. Guess already? :P

Cake, lolitas and little fairies
My friends and I visited Kakkugalleria yesterday dressed up in lolita / fairy kei. Photos of our outfits can be spotted from Tumblr again :3 Damn I wish it was easier to apply multiple photos on Blogger in a pretty way...oh well, then again I don't feel comfortable writing lots of text to Tumblr since people will reblog that blabber too xP No dolls this time, but we joked that my wig looks like Leeke's human size wig! Yeah, the colour and quality is very similar. We had a great time, although I didn't eat so much cake. I had one slice and drank three big cups of coffee <3

Doll meme
Since I have nothing better to do anyway!
Who was your first doll? Do you still own him, her, or it?
Aegis, my Angelregion Ami boy. I most certainly do, and I probably could never sell him.
Who is your favorite doll?
Well, I'd rather not play favourites, but if I had to choose, Meital (nDoll Ami, these days Littlemonica Sophia) could be the most pampered ones.
Which doll do you hope or plan to buy next?
Surprisingly, I have no BJD plans at the moment. I'm hoping to purchase a Jerryberry in the future, but it's not my top priority right now.
Quick! You've instantly got $800 and must choose a doll to spend it on right now or it's gone forever! Who do you pick?
Eep, on one doll? Ehm, difficult...I dunno xD; Like I said, right now I have no BJD plans. But please do send the money, I'm sure I could spend it easily ;)
Quick! You've instantly got enough money for any one and must choose a doll to spend it on right now or it's gone forever, but this time you have to buy the doll for someone else! Who gets the dolly, and what do you get them?
Illves! She could pick up anyone she wanted, although I always joke that if I ever won in the lottery, I'd purchase her her most awful, ickiest RPG character's doll form xD (Trust me, no one wants to see him as a doll.)
Are you currently waiting on any dolls, heads, or bodies?
Why thank you for asking, I am. Leeke's Ronald head, and Doll-Chateau's Hilary.
Do any of your dolls seem to like you to the point that they are infatuated with you?
Oooooh no, no...just no :x
Do any of your dolls seem to dislike or even hate you?
With all the junk I buy them, those rascals should be grateful!
Who's your most expensive doll at the time you purchased them, not counting items you bought separately for them?
Adriel, Iplehouse's Bichun LE. Well, there are many much more expensive dolls out there, but for me, he was rather pricey.
Who's the least expensive doll you own?
Probably mr. Paw, Camellia Dynasty's Wong. He was about 100 dollars.
Is there a limit to what you'd spend on a doll?
Yes. I think 1000 dollars is about the limit, and the doll in question should be rather unique. For a basic human doll, I'd go for cheaper alternatives.
Which doll did you wait for the longest so far?
Probably Morrigan, Customhouse Cebee. Customhouse had their first sale event (of many more *eyeroll*), and the waiting was long and uncertain.
Which doll had the shortest wait so far?
I think nDoll shipped Meital the next day I paid her <3
Who's the biggest doll you own?
Adriel, since he's EID. I don't know if Uncle K is taller though, but he's super skinny.
Who's the smallest doll you own?
Probably mr. Paw. If you don't count him, my Pukifees.
Got any floating heads? If yes, how likely are they to receive bodies anytime soon?
MNF Marcia Dreaming. I have no idea, I've seriously considered selling her since she doesn't inspire me at the moment. But we'll see what I'll do with her.
Got any floating bodies?
Nope.
Do you have any extra, unclaimed pairs of eyes? How many if so?
I have some extra eyes, I don't know how many.
Do you have any extra, unclaimed wigs? How many if so?
All my wigs belong to someone. My SD girls both have extra wigs to suit different moods, well, because I like changing their hair :P
Anything you've said "never" to in the hobby that you later gave in to?
Too many!
Do you own dolls that aren't BJDs?
I have three Monster High girls, Tamdoll pet bunny and some MLP figures.
What was your last doll-related purchase?
Doll-Chateau's Hilary.
What do you expect your next doll-related purchase to be?
Probably a new wig for Gretel, my Minimay, since her current one is tad too small.
What was the last doll-related thing to arrive to you by mail?
Hummm, probably some Re-ments I bought for my little dolls.
What was the last doll-related thing you purchased in person?
I bought a fine t-shirt a friend made <3
Not counting floating heads, floating bodies, and anything on layaway (paid off dolls count), how many complete dolls do you own?
21. Yikes.
Who was your first doll? Do you still own him, her, or it?
Aegis, my Angelregion Ami boy. I most certainly do, and I probably could never sell him.

Strangeling

| Photo from Doll Chateau |
I bought some Cernit today, since I always say I suck at sculpting - but the truth is I haven't even really tried. I'm trying to make a pair of geta sandals for Gretel, as I decided to sew her an outfit for the annual hannami party in Roihuvuori's Japanese park. Yukata, some kanzashi and stuff. Here's hoping I get something nice done!
p.s. I decided to name my Hilary Pio, and I really don't know why. I just think she looks a lot like Pio. I'm sure there will be a story behind it, but just not yet!

A teeny visitor
A friend's tiny little "Uguu" (Leekeworld Allie) is visiting to get some clothes! I've finished her a hat, of course and a dress. She is so cute! I eyed her too when she was released ;) I just cannot pose her at all xD
I have been thinking the future direction of my hobby, and I've set some goals for myself for the rest of the year. These include:
- Finish a set of hats for this year's Ldoll festival.
- Open up an Etsy store which I've had for a long while, just haven't listed anything yet. It seems to be a slow process ^^;
- Get dolls finished. Poor Krüm has no eyes, and all the big boys could use new clothing. Some dolls lack rather critical clothing items, such as panties, derp.
- Get photostories done! I've been thinking of setting up a Finnish blog for these, which I could also fill with blabber and art when I get some done...
- Do things and enjoy them!
