Scent of winter

I almost sold Tirlittan at one point, but here she is still *3* She's a cute doll with her enormous head - she just doesn't sparkle and inspire like my Bluefairy girls, but there's still some certain charm that keeps her here.

The props in these photos are actually Christmas ornaments from Stockmann (a large department store). I've usually bought something from their Christmas section every year for my dolls - I don't really care about decorating our home, but I surely can decorate my dolls xP

It's already smelling like the winter here, we even got some snow yesterday, eep! Time to make something warm for poor Tirl and her bare arms.

p.s. The necessary Etsy promotion: some new tiny hats! Knitting from thin mohair is quite fun :3

Easter thoughts

The ever-lovely giant-headed Tirlittan!

I fell in love with an odd little girl from Xagadoll, I think she looks like an vintage anime character, maybe Astro Girl? And those heart-shaped knees, awww! Maybe I'll ditch that Bluefairy plan for a while and get Tirlittan a little sister...

Speaking of Bluefairy, I ordered some extra parts for the girls, such as those holding hands *w* I'm sure they will be extra adorable!

In April we shall celebrate again the birthday of our Finnish BJD community's forum, the theme this year is fairy tale which I of course approve. Luckily all my dolls are characters in my dream story, so there is no need to make anything special :P They are from a a fairy tale by nature.

Speaking of stories, no, no inspiration yet even if I've been asked a lot :< (I used to make lots of photo stories in Finnish, and most of my doll characters come from those stories.) I've been RPGing a lot with my BFF which is great fun, so when I need to do it all alone...meh. I haven't written anything proper for a long while. But I'm no stressing it, the stories will come when they will come. Right now I've been enjoying more of my cute little dolls, creating outfits and photographing them, and if I've learned anything of this hobby, it's that you need to do things that you enjoy. I have some story ideas featuring my big butterfly lady, nothing superb but chances to exercise my writing skills <3

Also we'll have our move during April, so I'm afraid things will quiet down for a while. I have so much stuff to organize, pack, move and unpack, graah! Luckily I've managed to go through most of my hobby stuff and throw lots of unnecessary stuff away. If I haven't touched some fabrics ever since I got my first Pullip, I may just throw them away, right?

Yet more new arrivals

Is it just me or are most of my posts these days about new dolls? It might be, yikes. I did a head count, and I have 26 dolls these days. That's quite the number :B I'm trying to slow it down since I'm running out of shelf space, and even my dear patient husband has noted that "I have plenty of dolls". Okay, I'm addicted xD

But let's present the newcomers anyway:





Okay, Krümlen isn't technically a new doll, it just took a while to get him faceupped and ready. He's Dollgru #11 on Volks Kyotenshi body, Krähe's big brother, a magpie and an angsty, angry boy who writes homoerotic vampire stories in his mother's basement. Or used to write before their mother ran off with a local nightmare demon and left him, so he has to survive on his own now. Of course he came to bother Krähe, and those two just don't get along. He considers himself a great artist and complains all the time that the world just doesn't understand him or his art.

And my combined Christmas / birthday present for myself arrived too *3* She's new Tirlittan, Leeke's Ariana in snow skin, a doll with a huge butt and even bigger head. Some may remember that I used to own Dollzone's Tintan called Tirlittan, and there is something similar in her features. So this is sort of her new form. She's interesting to pose but not as bad as I thought, Leeke has constructed her very well.

I wish I could promise this is all, but I have yet another doll shipped to me xD Maybe she's the last one for a while...no promises though.
