turning point

So I've been saying to myself and others "I need to stop dragging my feet and actually order Val."  But yet I keep dragging my feet.  I just KEEP dragging my feet.  I mean I loved Val but he never was quite right.  But more importantly... I -Loved- him and Cassie... in the past tense.  I poured so much into the pair of them... And Now... I don't really care for them.  I mean I LOVE Lori.  She's so cute and sweet and lovely.  But Cassie and Val.... It feels Shameful but they have always been kinda formless, kinda empty.  I don't love them anymore.

So I was kinda talking that out without admitting it to myself and Mom just started talking.  Then Don't.  Just stop, don't buy Val, get someone you really want, Get the doll you actually want you don't have to stick with what you had, Wipe Cassie and make her better or whatever.  Don't keep yourself tied to something that doesn't fit.

So I'm not going to.  I have no idea what doll I'm going to get, but I'm actually excited.  Something I haven't really been for the dolls in a while.  I'll keep you posted.

all the things

So it sounds like the roller coaster that was my mom's possible divorce has come to an abrupt halt and everyone is asked very politely to get off the ride and start forgiving everyone around them for the bullshit they said.  I have only my husband and children to apologize to and that's just for being me while stressed.  With that ride halted  all the things that got put on hold in the interim are now back on, everything from the etsy (which hasn't been updated since before Puddle) to the doll stuff has to tri and take the brakes that were so rudely applied.

On to dollies, I got to introduce a new friend to dolls!  YYYAAAAAAYYY!! exciting stuff.  So I ended up taking a suitcase with to olive garden and pull out some babies while we waited for food to show.  That was fun.

Now I'm working on sorting through and putting up several dozen pictures of coats along with getting probably a dozen coats online... Yaaaay... Oh that's pretty arduous in the best of times but I also have to get the rest of the new coats photographed... >.< yikes  works cut out for me again.

Other than that, not much is going on.  I need to rearange my livingroom cus it's driving me crazy, Plus we have way too many things plugged into just like... 2 outlets so I'd like to spread things out a bit...  Well that's all I can think of atm... just a bunch of bullshit really

Pullip doll...

So "I" bought a Pullip, It's a make it own and our company actually bought it... Oh yea, Kaleidoscope coats is now Kaleidoscope BJD wear, and That's been a blast so far.  But yea, back to the doll.

She's a make it own in... brown?  tan?  IDK what they call their colors but she's what I'd call "Hispanic/Filipino" tan.  So I'm pretty much already figured out what I wanna do... I'm gonna do a steampunk salsa dress... We'll have to see what comes of that but I'm excited.

What's really fun about this... Husband is already like "Yep, just waiting for you to fall in love with it"  I specifically got a doll I don't like so that I could fix it up and sell it... I mean I totally understand, cus Yea, that does sound like something I'd do... which is why I'm not doing this with a doll there's any chance of me actually -wanting- Can't do it with resin dolls that's for damn sure, but lemme tell you, I can't fit a flippin Pullip in my collection so thats that.  And that's what I tell me and everyone else...

Either way, YAY! salsa steampunk!  Yay!

and the brain race is on

Centaurs!  Elemental centaurs?? MIXED ELEMENT CENTAUR BABIES!!

Ok so now that that's out of my system.. a slightly more eloquent version of what I'm on about!  So I've written on here about how I wanted to do a element mash up with the clear bits and about how OMG the centaurs are so damn cute!  Well I've quietly been thinking about them and my dolly plans for the future... when I had enough free processing power to actually do that...

Either way, I am thinking about my "earth" elemental mixed baby maybe being a centaur and while "mud" may be fun, I'm thinking I might wanna go with "dust" or "cinder"  and oh the plans I've got made up!!  I'm trying to decide between them.

Base doll it's self I kinda wanna go with cinder, Plan so far is Swap out a pair of hoves for pixiu feet, swap for pixiu hands, maybe even mod a pixiu tail to go on the butt over the cute little tail, and I'm trying to think of horns to swap the deer horns for so that they can have more dragon like horns.  As if that's not exciting enough, I'm thinking the dear parts would be dark tan or black, the body parts would be lt grey or a custom color that I can't figure out atm, and the hooves and horns would be the clear orange they showed on the new doll... So that's like SUUUPER exciting.  Less excited about her clothes, cus I would be tempted to make her clothes holey and singed... and one of the things I wanna do with this doll is make those super cute saddle outfits like my My Little Ponies had back in the day.

Dust I havn't really figured up as hard as Cinder, Buuuut So far she'd be purple hooves, light grey skin, and tan or maybe ask for slightly darker tan horse bits, Thinking about checking a tan bit against the grey bits, cus I think the light grey is too dark for me to like it as a skin against the normal coffee color.  Buuuut I would be adding wings to her.  Now if you haven't figured it out, I'm way more certain that THIS doll would be a female and with the light and sweet nature I attribute to this version of an elemental centaur, All the clothes Ideas for the MLP type stuff works... I mean it just WOOORKS for this doll.  Lace and fluff and light airy outfits... UFF!  I might end up going for dust because while she's slightly less interesting, and she's a very normal centaur color combo which I -could- flip to make an even more normal color combo and then it wouldn't match Cinder so much... but I don't have any like... questions about what bits she'd have, and I'm sure she's a she.

Either way, that's enough pontificating for the moment.  Centaurs soon to be added more resolutely to the list!  And I tell you what if they make a mermaid tail That's gonna be some wicked elemental water shit right there.

Oh resinsoul how do I love thee...

Let me count the ways, One, two, three!  FOUR!  Four centaur babies!!

Oh yea that's fuckin right, 4 new 1/6th heads, 1 new FABULOUS 1/6th body that includes a centaur butt.  but in true resinsoul fashion we don't have any truffing clue what is and is not interchangable.  So here's my first blush.

Neck looks like it's more of one of the new, DJ bodies... and the arms are clearly DJ... Buuuuut!  the arms look slimmer, and they are a peanut joint not a cap joint... The chest section of the new body looks like it is probably actually similar to the SJ female body... now I'm not positive on that but it's what it looks like to me.

One way or the other I love the new dolls.. A plan is slowly forming about them..

Peace out!

Where did the time go?

Kay so life is a shit storm right now.  Puddle is on it's way, mom's having some major problems atm (mom being the person who is the driving force of our GOING to puddle), I'm stressed about my weight and did I mention that our etsy store is doing well enough it's causing problems fer puddle?  Yea, we sold 3 short coats and 1 long coat like 2 weeks ago, all of them pullip coats.

So yea.  I have a bunch of bullshit I need to get done and you know what I've been doing?  In famous Me fashion I've been screwing around on minecraft not doing any of it.  What's that you say?  that's a terrible Idea?  Oh yea, it's awful and I know it.  When I get stressed out I always find another avenue of distraction.  That's been my distraction lately.

O.O  OMFG I'm so damn busy!

On top of all this dolly shit, I'm having to redo our living room cus both our computer desks are going bad fast.  Like really fast... Like the one has a half inch of sag and has had it for a while... Were it not for the fact they can't push out cus they are book ended... They'd have broken a long time ago.

And I'm going to have to cut this pontificating short cus I have a kitten playing in the lid of my sewing machine case.
