Star rompers

Good Sunday! I did a small craft trade with Choupicouture - I made hats and got these super cute rompers for Kiku <3 Isn't she adorable or what?

(She's also apparently pastel-haired again, well whoops...pastels just go so well with tanned skin. Let's see if this one is a keeper or if I shall return it to my Monster High girl. It's an older Dollheart wig that my old Pukifee Ante wore once.)

8D

A friend was kind enough to let me borrow her Pukipuki Kasidee (Literally meaning 8D in Finnish xP) for a commission / trade <3 So here are some Pukipuki-sized hats and a very happy model. Pukipukis are so cute, maybe one would fit in here as well...but I'd want a tan one. Fairyland's WS seems to turn greenish, and I don't want NS.

May your day be as happy as Kasidee's! 8D

Summer cocoa

I'm currently in a state of doll recession, I guess, as the dolls aren't really inspiring me at the moment :/ The heatwave is taking its toll on me, my job started and it's been rough, and I'm suffering from post-Asia depression of sorts and just want to go back xP I've been in this before, so I know what to do - don't sell dolls and just do something, no matter how small. Like post some photos online. The better times will come, they always have!

I did however some doll things on my summer holiday: attended some gatherings, made some small crafts here and there, updated my Etsy and visited Volks' showroom in Japan. Too bad you cannot bring spray cans on the plane, otherwise I could have brought lots of MSC ;_;

Back home

Whew, I'm back from our trip! It was hot as woah, exhausting, magnificient, strange and fun. I am not sure if I have the energy to write about it, but I do have plenty of travel photos in my Instagram:

(I will keep updating it with the rest of the pictures, I have quite a lot!)

And now to get used to being home and get back to doll business...

Carrier pigeon's new tool

Nothing drastic, but a messenger bag for Hilde has been on my shopping list for a while. I got her a cute rabbit one, of course:

She's yellowing quite badly, but that's just how it goes with WS, I guess. Oh well, I still find her adorable and she's still my favourite Teenie Gem sculpt.

(Heh, I read that some people find it annoying if you call your dolls cute and lovely while presenting their photos xP Okay, I'm guilty, but if I'm to invest thousands of euros into these dolls, of course they better be the cutest and the loveliest things I've ever seen. And they are!)

OT: We're leaving on Monday to Seoul, so excited <3

In a pink yukata

To celebrate our summer vacation, we went to a long walk and picnic today with my husband. The weather was so nice and sunny that I dragged a doll along, of course:

My Bluefairies love to steal the spotlight these days ;3 Can't help it, Idris is so cute in her new yukata. It's from Infinite Love, and I must admit I really drool over their fancier kimonos as well.

I hope to be able to purchase a yukata for myself from Japan, so we may match! <3

p.s. Sorry about similar poses, it's not easy to pose her with those Soom feet, especially outdoors!

Enjoy the silence?

Wow, BJD circles are really quiet these days :< Our Finnish forum is very slow, and even the Facebook community seems to suffer from the same disease. And when it comes to me, I can't say I've been the most productive doll person either, far from it. My operation went well, but it did take time to heal properly and all my energies have gone to make it through my job despite aches and such. Hopefully I will get to do doll things on my summer vacation, although the majority of it will be spent travelling.

Speaking of travelling, I thought to blog about our trip here as I currently have no other blogs. I'm sure nobody minds photos of Korea and Japan, right? I may pack a little doll to come along as our mascot, as I'm sure we will encounter lots of fantastic photography spots. So excited!

Let's keep the party rolling <3

As I don't like blog entries without pictures, here are two shots of Meital in her new dress from Asano. Not 100% sure if it is her style, but at least it's frilly as woah. She might need some new wigs, her old ones are getting worn out :(
