There aren't too many photos of her, I know :/ We have some small bonding issues, as her baby pink resin yellowed into perfectly normal NS colour. She's supposed to be a half-dragon, so I'd prefer her in some nifty fantasy colour. I may switch her to another Teenie Gem in the future (maybe Soom could make a purple Lami? :D). I do like her face though a lot! <3

I think she's dreaming in these photos - she wouldn't go outside in the forest to play without her parents, never! But in dreams anything is possible, apparently...

<br />
I recently finished a larger sewing project, so finally I can show some photos of <b>Hiu</b>. She's Pipos Dreaming Mari whom I traded off my Elfdoll Catsy, uh...almost three years ago ^^; Well, it definitely took a while to get her faceupped and completed, but here she is:

Her dress (apart from the scarf) is made by me - it's complitely handsewn, as that old vintage silk is very fragile. I dyed the border lace with tea and painted those metal wings with nail foils and gloss. No wonder this took a while ^^;<br />
<br />
Hope you like her! ^^<br />

(Azone Kikipop arrival)I preordered this little duck-faced cutie from <a href="http://amiami.com/" target="_blank">Amiami</a> almost immendentially when they started taking orders - and got her home last week. She's <b>Vanamo</b>, Kikipop Sunny Bunny Date Ichigo Milk version ^^ Her name means "twinflower" in Finnish, I wanted to give her a Finnish natural name with a pink theme. She is very pink :D

She'a fun size and very sturdy, I really like her! The only bad thing about her is that she's unable to sit at all xD Her other hip joint bends a little bit (not great) but the other one is just...stuck. Well, I was told that Kikipops can't really sit, so I knew it beforehand ^^ They're super cute and stand very sturdy :-3 She even came with a stand which she doesn't really even need.
<br />
<br />
I had original plans to customize her, but her eyes are actually really nice and sparkly in real life, and her wig is great quality and so smooth <3 So I'm keeping her as she is and save the customization plans for the next doll, maybe xD I did sell parts of her stock outfit (dress and shirt) so she wouldn't be 100% stock. Need to sew her a new dress, definitely! No worries, I didn't part with her super-adorable bunny cape ;3; It's one of the reasons I bought her.<br />
<br />
Now I just want to make her loads of stuff :3<br />

I picked up a new wig for Meital yesterday <3 Her old ones are so worn out, so I got her a new shiny one from <a href="http://formydoll.com/index.php" target="_blank">For my doll</a>. The wig quality and colour are superb! Of course there is hair everywhere, but it can't be avoided in these kind of wigs xD (I use a soft baby brush + water spray can to tame it.)<br />
<br />
So I wanted to snap some shots with her and her kitty, Malva, who also has new stuff from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/YlangGarden?page=2" target="_blank">Ylang Garden</a> ^^

<br />
Playtime for Malva! <3<br />
<br />
--<br />
<br />
A little info about their characters: Malva is not actually a cat, nor her real name is Malva. She's a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seraph" target="_blank">seraph</a> who was left behind and forgotten in an ancient great war. I haven't yet found out how she came to live with Meital, but I know she truly and geniously loves Meital. That's why she looks like a little mint green kitten, because she takes her physical form from her mistress's wishes :D Well, she doesn't complain, I think she's perfectly happy as a little cute cat ;3<br />

Thanks for looking!:3<br />
<br />
p.s. I decided that Idris is a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qilin" target="_blank">qilin/kirin</a> rather than just random magical creature, as she has horse hooves and deer antlers xD A good excuse to buy all kinds of Asian costumes for her, no? She's rather shy and rather hides in the dream world, but spotting her is a good omen and will bring you some good luck.<br />

And a light purple hoodie for Soom Teenie Gem, working buttons and lace-trimmed hood. This was the very first hood I've knitted, and it was actually <i>really </i>simple. There will be more of these, as Hilde already ordered a light pink one for herself :D Needy little thing! Well, she deserves it...<br />
<br />
Yikes, how yellow she is these days...<br />

Or actually in Finland we call this day "a friend's day" which I actually like much better. I already have one sweetheart whom I cherish every day, but it's never a bad idea to remember your friends as well.<br />
<br />
I've met so many nice and talented people through this hobby, so here's a collective THANK YOU to all of you <3<br />
<br />
I took some pictures of Birdybird (Chisa) in her new Azone kimono set and my Valentine chocolates I got from work (and ate already, haha).

Meital: "Are these any kittens in that book? =^_^="<br />
Niko: "Actually it's about a place in mortal world called Great Britain, but we can look if they included any felines."
<br />
<br />
Niko's new wig is from Dollmore - did you know they have a really handy <a href="http://stores.ebay.com/dollmoreshop">Ebay store</a> with very reasonable shipping? I personally hate arranging group orders, so this is a good option xD
<br />
<br />
White-themed angel dolls may be bit of a cliché, but I don't care - I still love these two <3<br />

5. Create 11 questions for the nominees to answer.<br />
6. List these rules in your post.<br />
7. Inform the people you chose of their nomination by leaving a comment on their blog and link them your post.
<br />
<br />
<b>The first questions are from <a href="http://grande-masquerade.blogspot.fi/" target="_blank">safir</a>:</b><br />
<br />
<b>1. Do you prefer enjoying the hobby by yourself or by socializing a lot with other people (meet-ups etc.)? </b><br />
<br />
Both! I enjoy the company of others a lot and like to meet up, but with my dolls I like to do things my own way and with my own schedule.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Do you ever take a doll with you when you travel? </b><br />
<br />
I do, if I'm planning to photograph or knit something and need a model :)<br />
<br />
<b>3. Is there any doll/figure that you didn't like at first, but then later fell in love with? </b><br />
<br />
Hmm mmm, maybe Kinoko Juice Kikipops? Or actually I liked them first, then thought that they might be too big for me (I didn't really bond with my Pullips or Blythe so I'm bit wary with big-headed dolls). And then as I saw the new releases, I thought I could try anyway :D<br />
<br />
<b>4. If you miss a limited doll, do you want to hunt down that exact one or wait for new similar releases? </b><br />
<br />
Uh, luckily I very rarely fall in love with LEs! But I guess I could wait for a new similar release unless this LE is really hard to replicate.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Have you ever thought of quitting the hobby? If so, why? </b><br />
<br />
Nope!<br />
<br />
<b>6. What company has impressed you the most and why? </b><br />
<br />
Well, my favourite BJD company is probably Bluefairy, but I wouldn't call their dolls very "impressing", they just have the style I like :D I'll answer Soom, because they really started this fantasy doll genre.<br />
<br />
<b>7. If you had to get a doll of some existing anime/movie/game/other character, who would it be? </b><br />
<br />
Uh oh. I'll answer Dorian from Dragon Age: Inquisition just because I really like him.<br />
<br />
<b>8. Do you prefer male or female dolls/figures?</b><br />
<br />
I have both. I like female dolls better, but I make better male doll / RPG characters.<br />
<br />
<b>9. What is the most memorable comment that you've gotten about your hobby? </b><br />
<br />
Well, I've heard I'm someone's biggest doll idol, and that made me happy and flustered at the same time. (And I sort of wanted to just hide under the table but haha, let's not care about that xD)<br />
<br />
<b>10. Which one do you enjoy more - reading or watching TV/movies? </b><br />
<br />
I rather watch stuff, so I can knit at the same time :3<br />
<br />
<b>11. If you had your own doll company, what kind of dolls would you make?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Cute fantasy dolls with lots of sparkle and pastels, of course!<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The following questions are from <a href="http://dollsdolour.blogspot.se/" target="_blank">DollsDolour</a>:</b><br />
<br />
<b>1. What is the last picture you took with your phone or camera? </b><br />
<br />
*checks* A picture of a doll cardigan I'm knitting, for Instagram.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Best compliment you have received? </b><br />
<br />
That I inspire other people a LOT.<br />
<br />
<b>3. What are your plans for your doll(s) this year? New wigs, clothes, new dolls? </b><br />
<br />
I need to finish my layaway for Peakswood's Kass and buy a lady from Impldoll as new Hecate. I'm planning to order that new Kikipop once they're released, and I'll probably get some more Azones just because. New wigs and clothes are of course mandatory - luckily I just got rid of plenty of extra wigs I've had laying around.<br />
<br />
<b>4. What is your perfect pizza? </b><br />
<br />
Tomato sauce, cheese, champion mushrooms, pineapple (!!!), fresh tomatoes, pesto and feta cheese.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Which doll would you get if you could, not matter what? Why? </b><br />
<br />
Hum, I have all my biggest grail dolls already, so I don't know for now...maybe that new Iplehouse H.I.D. body in tan skin. I want to replace that old EID body so bad >_><br />
<br />
<b>6. What kind of music do you listen to? </b><br />
<br />
I have a varied taste, but recently I've been mostly listening to instrumental anime/game OSTs.<br />
<br />
<b>7. What cheers you up? </b><br />
<br />
Chatting stupid stuff and plotting character stuff with my friends, coffee, sugary things, my husband and watching our pet mice doing silly things.<br />
<br />
<b>8. What is your favorite word and why?</b><br />
<br />
I like Finnish words related to snow such as Tuisku, Hanki, Nietos, Lumi - they sound so pretty!<br />
<br />
<b>9. Have you ever felt that your hobby is too much and that you do not connect well with your dolls? </b><br />
<br />
Not really ^^ Sometimes I'm too busy with my IRL stuff, but I'm trying to do whatever I can when I have the time :3<br />
<br />
<b>10. You are going for a trip, a week long, and you can only take ONE doll with you. Which one and why? </b><br />
<br />
Humm, I'd probably get one of my Pureneemos because of their size ^^<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>11. What's your earliest childhood memory? </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
I remember my first toys, I used to have a baby doll Pekka and a teddybear called Niina. (Such unoriginal names, I know xD).<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>And then we have <a href="http://littlebookofbluefairies.blogspot.fi/" target="_blank">Xaya</a>:</b>
<br />
<br />
<b>1. What sort of book would you make from your dolls? </b><br />
<br />
Ah, a fantasy story, of course :D I've written about my characters some, so it would be the same size, just long enough to be a book.<br />
<br />
<b>2. What size of doll would you prefer if you could only have one size? </b><br />
<br />
Uhhhhh....well, judging from my current crew, I think it would be SD-size. They just represent my characters the best. Although the smaller ones are really nice as well!<br />
<br />
<b>3. Have you ever been in doll event? (Dolls Party, LDoll, etc)</b><br />
<br />
No. I'd like to go, but I have some issues about travelling, as I tend to stress too much about such things :D I'd need someone to keep me company and help me to keep my worrying streak in control.<br />
<br />
<b>4. Do you have nicknames for your dolls?</b><br />
<br />
Yes, they do! Kaamos is usually uncle K., Meital is Meitsku, Mirwaise is Mirkku, Aegis is Ääkki, Shimral is Shimppa, Hecate is just "auntie", Lochesh is Lokki, Adriel is Addy and so on :D Some of their nicknames are official and some are just names I call them when I talk about them with my friends.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Is there anything that you'd like to learn to make yourself for your dolls that you currently don't? (Clothes, shoes, face up, furniture etc).</b><br />
<br />
Faceups and customizations, definitely! Of course I'd love to do furniture as well, but I think it might require tools and space I just don't have.<br />
<br />
<b>6. If you would bump into dolls NOW and find them interesting, which doll would you buy? And is it different than the one you did? </b><br />
<br />
Oh, probably a fantasy doll from Soom, I guess. And yes - Angelregion is out of doll business, I think?<br />
<br />
<b>7. Have you been belittled by anyone because you have dolls?</b><br />
<br />
No, never. I'm quite selective to whom I tell about my dolls and usually share them with just people with nerdy interests who I know will understand unusual hobbies.<br />
<br />
<b>8. Where do you photograph your dolls? Do you have favourite spot in/out? </b><br />
<br />
I have a spot in our apartment where there is space and light, and usually set up a background there. I also go outdoors, of course, and we have plenty of forests around us. I like places which are quiet, I cannot stand curious passerbys ^^;<br />
<br />
<b>9. Do you keep your dolls out of sight or somewhere where you can see them continuously? </b><br />
<br />
They are in our shelf, and I see them all the time. I enjoy looking at them, I could never keep them in boxes.<br />
<br />
<b>10. Is there one doll that got away? Why? </b><br />
<br />
No, not really <3 My Bluefairy tan Didi was harder to get, but luckily I got her as well :D<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>11. Are you happy how your dolls look or do you want to change their looks all the time?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
I like their styles, but sometimes I get bored of their old look and want to buy new wigs and stuff to refresh them a little bit ^^<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>And these are from <a href="http://earlgrey-atelier.blogspot.fi/" target="_blank">Orion</a>:</b>
<br />
<br />
<b>1. What is the first thing you look for when you're sculpt hunting? </b><br />
<br />
Well, mostly I look for things I like, like full lips, squinty eyes and such. If I'm trying to dollify an existing character, I'll of course look how much it resembles my character.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Name one of your favorite, or your absolute favorite company, and tell us why you chose it? </b><br />
<br />
These days I guess it's Bluefairy. I just like their dolls and stylings the best!<br />
<br />
<b>3. Are you in the hobby because you simply like dolls and think they are beautiful, or is there another reason? </b><br />
<br />
I like all the creativity this hobby enables. You can paint, sculpt, sew, customize, build, draw, write...well, you can do anything with the dolls! Of course they're beautiful too.<br />
<br />
<b>4. Describe how your perfect sculpt would look like! (You can attach an illustration or sketch for fun) </b><br />
<br />
Uh oh. A girl doll, fantasy resin colour, maybe grey or lavender. Squinty eyes, pouty mouth, lots of soul in her face. A well-sculpted body with some fat on it, wide hips and meaty thigs. Some rolls in her belly would be cute ;3;<br />
<br />
<b>5. Choose one doll from your collection that you would part it! And explain why. </b><br />
<br />
Hum, maybe that I wouldn't part with? I'll pick Kaamos (CP Moon) and Meital (LM Sophia). They're the key characters of my doll story, and I couldn't give up on them!<br />
<br />
<b>6. Tell us something interesting about one of your resin family members! </b><br />
<br />
I have such an interesting problem with Hecate, who will be Impldoll Idol very soon :D Her character is a mother of my three SDs and 55 years old, so I have huge troubles making her look old and chubby enough xD All BJD girls are so pretty and thin!<br />
<br />
<b>7. If you were suddenly gifted with the skill of BJD sculpting, what would you name your company? </b><br />
<br />
Yikes! Probably Fair Children?<br />
<br />
<b>8. What is one question you hate being asked in this hobby? </b><br />
<br />
Although my doll name is Fair Children, THEY ARE NOT <b>MY</b> CHILDREN. Oh dear lord. Well nor are my pets my children. I work with real kids, so I just don't want to compare them and resin dolls.<br />
<br />
<b>9. Do your dolls have favorite foods? (you can pick one doll, and share)
1</b><br />
<br />
Oh, interesting! I'll think of something :D<br />
<br />
Kaamos - steak with red wine sauce<br />
Meital - pasta with tomato sauce and veggies? (Same as mine, haha.)<br />
Aegis - cake!<br />
Hecate - meat in all its forms<br />
<br />
<b>10. What is an aesthetic you hate in BJDs? </b><br />
<br />
Well I don't really hate anything :D But some art dolls with overly wide hips and narrow waist are no really my thing. (I don't want to name any sculpts though!)<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>11. And last but not least, do you have anything to say to people in the hobby?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Relax, enjoy your dolls and don't support recasts please xD<br />
<br />
--<br />
<br />
Whew, that was a lot! I will not tag anyone in particular as I'm sure everyone's been tagged already, but I did make 11 questions in case you want to answer them <3<br />
<br />
1. Your favourite hot beverage (coffee, tea, cocoa, anything else)?<br />
<br />
2. What's your favourite resin colour?<br />
<br />
3. If you could design any fantasy doll, what kind of doll would you make?<br />
<br />
4. Do you collect just BJDs or other dolls as well?<br />
<br />
5. What's your favourite clothing style on dolls? (Casual, lolita, fairy kei for example?)<br />
<br />
6. Do your dolls resemble you in any way?<br />
<br />
7. Do you write a background story for your dolls, or are they just dolls? If you do, is it a complex one or just something simple? What genre?<br />
<br />
8. Do you have twin dolls aka two or more of the same sculpt?<br />
<br />
9. How many doll shoes do you own?<br />
<br />
10. Do your dolls have just one wig, or are there many and they switch?<br />
<br />
11. Have you met people through this hobby who have become your friends or even more?<br />
<br />

I could not pass this cutie, because Chiika is my favourite Azone girl AND she has that adorable smile and bob-cut hair. Let's hope Azone won't release any more cute Chiikas so I don't end up with an army :P

In other news, things may not be as active in the dolly front as I started working full time again. I just haven't got much energy for dolls after a long day at work :/ Luckily it does good for my doll budget though xD And yep, I have some new interesting things planned for this year as well <3<br />

I knitted this at my parents' home during Christmas and finished it yesterday - a knitted dress for Azone's Pureneemo ^^ I'm quite proud of it, as Picconeemo is the smallest doll in my crew and a challenging size. But this one was a success in the first try and was even rather easy and fun to make, yay!<br />
<br />
And as you can see, I've changed Pip's D body into S version :3 I just didn't get along with those huge chibi hands + I think this S body is really pretty. And small of course, but it's part of the charm!<br />

This is a special doll year for me, as this is my <b>tenth</b> year in BJD hobby. I got my first BJD Aegis in June 2006. No wonder I sometimes feel bit old xD But it's all right, I've had a great time and hope to make lots of new interesting things in 2016.<br />
<br />
I wanted to post some of the highlights of my doll year 2015, so here we go:
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/fairchildren/16231183882/in/dateposted-public/" title="Shimral"><img alt="Shimral" height="700" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7499/16231183882_53106c1a78_o.jpg" width="467" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script>

<br />
I bought Shimral from my friend in January, just because he is grey and pretty ^^; He has really grown on me, and he's an interesting character. And well, pretty too :D
<br />

And I ended up selling my Soom Epidia, in order to replace Hecate later with another sculpt. I really like Soom's SG body, but it ended up just no longer fitting anymore to Hecate's mature character. She's the MOM of my storyline, and Supergem is just too thin and young for this fantastic yet slightly eccetric matriarch. She'll be replaced with a better version of herself once I'm done with another layaway :3

I fell for Azone Pureneemos, and currently I have eight and ninth on the way xD They're, ummm...it's bit hard to explain, but I admit I am quite ambitious with my own BJDs, their stylings and storylines. But Pureneemos for me are just for fun! I just dress them up in cute stuff and let them hang around. Their great purpose is to just be damn cute, and that's just fine <3

I've also bought some anime figures, mostly Nendoroids. I currently have a problem with space though as our apartment is rather small, so I'm trying to keep this thing under control. I have some One-Punch Man stuff coming though xD (I love that series!)

I've attended meetups, big and small, and met lots of nice new people and had a great time! I'm happy about this, since I used to be so shy and timid when I was younger, and I still have nervousness issues in larger crowds. So if you spot me babbling non-stop, it's usually because I'm so nervous and trying to hide it - just tell me to stop xD But luckily people have been and will be so nice, and I've had a great time ;3; I'm really waiting for summer and outdoor picnics with you all!

And the last doll purchase of 2015! The layaway is still going on, but it's no secret I've ordered this lovely boy from Peak's Woods ;3; Well, he has pastel skin, pouty mouth, squinty eyes...yeah. It will take a while to pay him up, but I'm looking forward to it <3 He will be called Ashja, and he'll be Shimral's little brother, well, sort of. More pastel boys, yay!<br />
<br />
Whew, that was mostly it, what a fun year it's been! Thanks for following my silly doll things and <b>Happy New Year</b> everyone! <3<br />

I want to, but before that I should make some sleepwear for uncle K and make a bed prop. I think it's a sweet idea, though <3<br />
<br />
But I did take some romantic photos today of my old couple. I wanted to take more, but the light just vanished somewhere...damn the winter! Anyway, here's some Meital and Kaamos:<br />

<br />
Actually it wasn't as simple as I thought xD; Those large flakes had to be individually attached with a small brush as they just floated around otherwise, and these took about four layers of gloss. But I like the result! I thought that as Shimral's character is a mage, he has a bad habit of handling magical items with his bare hands xD Tsk tsk.

And Liduse got a new again again through a trade. It's Leeke's Pale Turquoise, and it fits her very well...just like all pastel colours. Luckily I just got rid of most of my extra doll wigs, so I can hoard more :D

Happy holidays to all my readers <3 I originally wanted to make something Christmassy here as well, but I've been sick, busy with my job and there is a depressing, dark weather outside with no snow :< But maybe my pastel dolls will sparkle enough for Christmas? xDE.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05700058796878712855noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3285507935771974339.post-89705667968090671082015-12-11T02:12:00.001-08:002015-12-11T02:12:13.399-08:00Christmas girlI picked up my Otogi no Kuni Nina from the post office yesterday <3 She's super cute! I had no time nor energy to document her arrival very well, but you can look at <a href="http://grande-masquerade.blogspot.fi/2015/12/little-maid-chisa-arrival.html" target="_blank">Sherimi's blog post</a> if you want to see more how these releases look like :3 Nina is very similar. The extra hands are a nice bonus - and useful as I almost broke her other default hand while removing it >_> Azone XS hands are really fragile :( I don't think I'll ever touch them again unless absolutely needed xD

But here she is! Cute and somehow very Christmas-like <3 (Must be the colour of her dress.) I named her Siru which means "Chip" in Finnish, because she's quite small. Siru was also the official name of our mouse baby which passed away, so I thought I could use that name as a memory <3 (Yeah, I'm bit sentimental like this...)<br />
<br />
I'll see what I can come up with Siru! I really like her default style, but of course she could always use for more stuff...<br />

I really like this boy <3 Spiritdoll's Proud body is so nice; I love the contrast it brings to his pastel hair and maybe slightly feminine face xD And hey, grey resin and pink hair...it's an awesome combo. I tried grey and black wigs on him, and it was just too dark.<br />
<br />
He could use some body blushing (I ordered materials to make something bit different and SPARKLY) and a new wig - I love this one, but alas, it's bit too small for Spiritdoll's larger head and stays on with violence and a prayer xD Projects ahead!<br />

Hello! Just a quick heads-up that I've temporarily converted <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/fairchildren?ref=hdr_shop_menu" target="_blank">all my Etsy items</a> into free shipping :3 There is a catch though - our postal service Posti is having various strikes, and the delivery times are something I cannot predict. And with Christmas shopping season ahead...grrrrh. It's not looking very bright at the moment :< I've been waiting for some packages for weeks now.<br />
<br />
Thanks to this situation I'd now rather avoid sending anything via mail until it clears up a bit :( Luckily I have no dolls coming, but one little Nendoroid is somewhere out there. Hope he makes through this chaos and comes home soon!<br />
<br />

Meital was ready to adopt them all right away xD Well, she loves kitties more than anything. Sadly Mimosa and Alma already have an owner, so she'll just have to do with Malva alone :P
<br />

<br />
Luckily these photos cheered up an otherwise sucky day ;_; Our little baby mouse is really sick, she has something wrong with her tummy. It might be a bowel obstruction or something she was born with and triggered by moving to a new pack. Or in worst case, a tumour, which unfortunately means only one thing. I try normally not get too emotional with mice, because they are fragile creatures and live just one or two years. But little Rúndís is just eight weeks old, she's just a pup :( It just feels so unfair. Right now she's in a separate cage, loaded with pineapple (it should help with her bowel system), nutrition gel, food and easy access to water. I hope she makes it ;3;<br />
<br />
Edit: Unfortunately she had to be put to sleep this morning ;_; Rest in peace, little sweetie! ;3;<br />

Azone did a naughty thing and released some of my favourite girls in their Otogi no Kuni - series. So I have some new girls coming!
<br />

Photos are from Azone's promotional materials.

<br />
Although I can't say I'm a big fan of the original fairy tale, this version of Chiika hit home. A smiling version with a cute bob hair! <3 I promised to do a split so I won't get her clothes. She's so adorable though ^3^<br />

<br />
And finally my own Nina ;3; I almost missed the preorders, but luckily <a href="http://amiami.com/" target="_blank">Amiami</a> got some more. Again a cute girl with brown bob hair...haha. I think she will be Chiika's little sister. To continue with Otogi no Kuni's theme, I want an old fairytale theme for both of them. Dusty books, natural colours, old stuff...something like that. Azone's own stylings are so good!<br />
<br />
New dolls, yay! <3<br />

This time I took out Adriel (Iplehouse Bichun) whose new wig came in the mail. It's a cheap Chinese one - actually I want him an alpaca wig with a sidecut, but I probably should make it myself and that might take a while xD; So now he has at least something that fits his character:

Sorry about boring photos; he's currently very loosely strung and <b>very</b> frustrating to pose. Well, I think Iplehouse's EID guys are always like that xP I've ordered some 5mm rubber string and silicone baking sheet so I could re-string and suede him hardcore. Yes, <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Silicone-Pastry-Bakeware-Baking-Tray-Oven-Rolling-Kitchen-Bakeware-Mat-Sheet-/201422401486?hash=item2ee5b5efce%3Ag%3AgjAAAOSwHnFV6-ia" target="_blank">stuff like this</a>. I thought to cut some strips and hotglue them in his largest joints, as his joints are pretty bad.<br />
<br />
And when it's done, I think he needs a new faceup, the old one is getting worn out. I thought I could at least try it myself - I suck at making fine thin lines, but I think he might get away without them. He'll be quite the project, but I'm not giving up on him easily!<br />
<br />
Honestly I've thought of selling him many times, but there's just something in his gentle eyes which no other sculpt seem to have. And his tan colour is just right, so I'm willing to try to fix his issues :)<br />
<br />

<br />
But as they now have some new clothes, I thought to give 'em some well-deserved camera time. The first victim is Niko (CP Dreaming Shiwoo) in his new <a href="http://rrabit.com/rrabitstore/rrabitshop/" target="_blank">rRabit</a> gear :3 He's technically my first SD and one of my dearest characters:

Speaking of stories, I thought to participate in this year's <a href="http://nanowrimo.org/" target="_blank">Nanowrimo</a> in my own way. 30k words by the end of the year, I can't finish them in November alone, too much to do. We'll see how this goes! I've missed writing so much ;_; Are you guys doing Nanowrimo too?<br />
<br />
And in Finnish in the end: Ajattelin että voisin jakaa sitten tuota Nanoa jos kehtaan xD; No, katsotaan minkätason tekstiä tulee ja mihinkä mennessä saan valmista sitten lopulta. Suomeksi kirjoittaminen on vähän hitaampaa mutta kuitenkin meikälle se luontevin kieli <3<br />

Well, it wasn't that easy - the moist autumn air made my eyeglasses quite steamy so it was pretty hard to see properly. I had to delete so many photos just because the focus was on everything else than where it should have been ^^; (I use manual film camera lenses with adapters so no choice but to focus manually, haha.)<br />
<br />
Luckily I did take a lot of pictures so I got at least something to show. And Amita is a patient and pretty model:<br />

I finally finished her sweater too - it took quite a while because of the very small gauge. I made some braids in the sleeves, and they were actually really simple to do. I think I'll start making them more often now :3 I'm still planning to decorate this once the ribbons I ordered online arrive home. It definitely needs beads, lace and ribbon embroidery ^3^<br />
<br />
I also ordered new parts from Little Monica to replace some of Amita's most yellowed parts. Luckily the worst yellowing is in her torso and hands, and LM sells them as separate parts, yay. This was also a good opportunity to upgrade her into a smaller breast size. Haha, there is nothing wrong with large breasts but maybe these old ones are bit too big for her body and character in general...<br />
<br />
Some sanding and blushing ahead, then, once they arrive. Woop!<br />

Adorable, no? :D Unfortunately I just have no funds to participate in this pre-order, but if they make another round next year, you bet I will be there! I want one for Meital - I think she'll start collecting all kinds of strange cats. I already have a name for one - (s)he would of course be <i>Mulko </i>as <i>mulkoilla</i> means "to glare" in Finnish :P<br />
<br />
Ah, they're so cute...wish they didn't make all these cute dolls when I'm rather broke, boo :(<br />

<b>Werewolf – How has the hobby “transformed” you?</b><br />
A lot. More than I dare to admit :P I used to be very lonely and sad, but this hobby gave me wonderful friends and lots of confidence - and made me realize that I actually am not shy at all at heart. I just cannot relax unless it's people whom I trust with nerdy interests :P<br />
I also had 0% crafting skills before I started this hobby. Everything I now know of sewing, crafting and knitting, I've learned through doll hobby.
<br />
<br />
<b>Vampire – The dreaded sun! How do you feel about and cope with yellowing, or more generally the aging of these dolls?</b><br />
I have many older dolls and yes, they've yellowed, some more than others. Well, it happens. I am not going to store my dolls in a sun-proof cabinet anyway xP When the yellowing gets too bad, I think I'll just re-buy some dolls in some "fresher" forms. And with some dolls you don't really see it - my oldest BJDs from 2006 look just fine to my eye ^^
<br />

<b>Frankenstein’s Monster – Have you ever modded a doll? Tell us about it! If you could magically try any mod without fear of failure, what would you like to try?

I haven't, I don't really do such things apart from small body blushing and stuff. I'd mod my Epidia head to have wrinkles and her body looking more mature and aged. Some fat and stretch marks, yep. Her character is an older lady, a mother of three kids - it bothers me that's she so young-looking and thin. Dammit, I want a mature, respected lady :D
<br />
<br />
<b>Zombie – Have you ever caught the Marketplace virus?? Name some unplanned purchases that jumped out and “infected” you?</b>
<br />
Ahem, I have :D I've bought quite many dolls just because they were cute and a good deal. My Angelregion Ren was totally such a purchase, I bought her only because she was cheap and has lots of nostalgic value :P<br />
<br />
<b>Skeleton – What’s your favorite body sculpt? Forget heads!</b><br />
Sadol's smaller girl body and Spiritdoll's Proud body are my favourites of my dolls. I also like SQLab's girl bodies but I don't own one...yet. Hehe.<br />
<br />
<b>Witch – Name some dolls that are magical! Seeing them on your dashboard inspires you! Can be general sculpts or specific dolls owned by talented friends.</b><br />
Erm, so many *_* But I do love it when I spot well-presented Bluefairies, especially Pocketfairies!
<br />
<br />
<b>Ghost – The one that got away. Do any limited or rare dolls “haunt” you to this day?
</b><br />
Hum, not really. I already own my "grails" :D (Bluefairy's WS May Valentine + tan Pocketfairy Didi).
<br />
<br />
<b>Freddy Krueger – What is your worst doll nightmare? Has it happened or not?</b>
<br />
Hum, maybe losing a doll very hard to get, like my Feeple 70cm body? No, it hasn't happened, thank gods.
<br />
<br />
<b>Jason Voorhees – If you were gonna make Halloween costumes for your dolls (or if you plan to!) what costumes would you make?</b>
<br />
I don't know...my doll characters are supernatural beings after all, so they don't really wear costumes. Some kigurumis would be fun though - if I could, I'd make a dragon kigurumi to Apsu, my Soom Lami ^3^<br />
<br />
<b>Chucky (possessed doll) – Have you ever been scared of dolls or a certain doll? Be honest!</b><br />
Well maybe it's a good thing I don't watch horror movies, because no, not really. I do find some dolls, especially those old porcelain ones, creepy, but nothing <i>really</i> scares me.<br />
<br />
I tag everyone with a doll blog who haven't done this one yet!

I used 1.5mm needles and <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wholesale-1pc-Natural-Smooth-Angola-Mohair-Cashmere-Wool-Knitting-Yarn-Home-/181873202802?var=480969739690&hash=item2a587cd672">these Chinese yarns</a> again. They're excellent for doll knitting, by the way, cheap and last forever. I've made a SD-sized sweater out of one skein :D If there only were more colours...<br />
<br />
Have a happy autumn, everyone!
