I finished a small amigurumi bear for my dolls yesterday:
The pattern is from here, easy to follow and very simple. I wanted a mint chocolate theme. The yarn is from Estonia, I had to stock it up because it's just the perfect shade, and I want to knit more mint stuff for the dolls. I purchased a bunny pattern too from a different seller (I cannot crochet without patterns at all, I don't know why it's so hard :D), so it will be my next project. Please also notice Unni's new great hair from Formydoll. I love their vintage green!
Ehm, nothing new grand here. My Gravity from Aria arrived, but I had to order a new head for him right away. Awesome sculpt, yeah, but the head is t-i-n-y. It's MSD-sized, only the face is longer. I might be able to live with that, but his character is supposed to be Niko's brother, and Niko is CP's Dreaming Shiwoo...yep, those two just don't work together, and there is no way they'll look anyway related xD Actually none of my SD-sized dolls look like they'd be in scale with him :B Luckily I found another head which is larger and should work with his body, so we'll see, we'll see...
Sometimes I wish I didn't care about doll backgrounds, stories and characters so much xD Oh well, live and learn!
On Thursday I visited Estonia's craft stores again and came back with stuff. We'll visit them again in few weeks. I'm planning to purchase tons of lace that time, this time I mostly bought sequins and embroidery threads. And lace, of course, but not as much.
But where to get time and inspiration to actually do something with all the stuff I buy? :D

Small things and woes
If only we had some snow and light here...the weather has been so sucky recently. Gloomy, wet, no snow, just rain and darkness. Artificial light has been most uninspiring, so instead of playing with dolls I have played Elder Scroll: Skyrim and planned our new pet mice I will pick up after Christmas :-3 The big dolls have recieved little to no attention, and my BJD stories are waiting for new fresher ideas and inspiration. Calm before the storm, I hope?
But luckily I'm not the kind of hobbyist who goes desperate in situations like this. I still love my dolls dearly and am making small plans for them all the time. And Bluefairy has shipped my Didi who will hopefully arrive just in time for Christmas <3
The little white bunny is Tamdoll's ball-jointed animal doll that I bought through Strapya, by the way. It's probably not technically a "proper" BJD since it lacks changeable eyes and stuff, but I think it's very adorable. I named him Sauerkraut and even gave him a character. You'll hopefully be seeing him around!
p.s. I got hooked on Tumblr quite badly. I post lots of dolly/miniature things there - and just generally things I find inspiring. So if you are ever bored of my blabberings and just wish to look at pretty pictures, head there!

Little angels
This is Unni <3 I made a brave trade proposal if a fellow BJD person would have liked to trade her Pukifee Luna (that was for sale) to my Latidoll Lea, and it worked out just perfectly.
Here are some other pics what I took of the "new" addition and her best friend:
They both have the sleeping plates as well <3

Serious little summer



I took Unni outside for a spontaneous, sunny photoshoot around the neighbourhood. I've had such bonding problems with her and have almost sold her couple of times, but now with new wig and style, she seems like "my" doll. I'm really easy - just mix pastel hair with frills and cute, and I'm smitten and taken...
