Is this thing on?

Ok, So I'm really bad at keeping up with things but this is one that's been really hard for me lately.

I lost the doll itch for a long time... Still trying to recover my love of the dollies.  Unfortunately I have to point the finger at some of the people I used to hang out with and do doll stuff with.  When you start associating something you like to do with people you don't like to be around it can take a lot of the shine off of the thing you liked to do.  Because of that I've had a hell of a time doing things with the dolls.  I've had Marius for over a year and he's still in pieces so that I can faceup him.

Good news?  I have Fig.  I'm working on what I want him to look like.  I still have Marius to finish but I'm happy about having dolls to work on... Only problem right now, It's been raining constantly... CONSTANTLY!  I need it to dry out for long enough for me to work on Maruis (he has his eyes and hair... I can work on him!)

There's a lot of stuff that's been running around in my head about dolls, rolling around quietly...  I made pants for "logan" the other day... Fig's been wearing them >.> No... they really are for Logan... Seriously...  WHY WON'T YOU BELIEVE ME!?  But yea they are a terrible color on Fig so yea, they are Logans, I just have to make Fig some pants so Logan can have them back.

Actually those pants are kinda a funny story that I feel like commemorating... I was over at mom's, chilling and I got an Email from the hubs, Both elbows were ripped out of his shirt... I paniced, grabbed a shirt from mom's and ran it out to him without even waiting for him to tell me "Yea, I really need a different shirt"  He didn't want a different shirt but there I was, I had a lavender shirt and a red shirt for him to decide between.  Despite being frustrated with me he took the red shirt and wore it, and I took the remaining shirts back to moms... Mom was working on cleaning up her doll room so there was little to nothing for me to do, so I sat down with this lovely grey shirt with white stripes and was like... O.O PANTS!  and I had Logan there... O.O FIG NEEDS SLACKS!  >.> Logan won't mind... So I made a pattern for slacks for Logan, knowing that Fig maybe taller/shorter/just not fit and knew that I'd alter the pattern to fit Fig.  I legit just sat down and made them, that day.  Pattern and all.  They were a smidge wonky, but they fit pretty damn well, and They look cute as a button on him.

In other news, I shall soon removed the last reminents of Becky from my life, Mom has seen Mika (Becky's Hujoo) and wondered if I'm going to do anything with it.  When I told her no, it wasn't even mine but I can't get rid of it, She asked if she could have it... She wants Elli to have a brother.  So I can finally get the last bits of her out of my life, wipe the doll and make a little boy, no more Mika, No more Tien, No more Becky.  There are some kimono's I was going to make what feels like ages ago, I may well just pitch that fabric.  I know I won't make the pink one and I'm pretty sure the blue one is missing pieces.  Even if It's not missing pieces, I don't have the desire to finish it.  Now the parts that were going to be the liner... that I might have some desire for... but IDK.

I nearly had another Fairy, and it's still kinda rolling around in there... While we were at pecks I ran across a Dahlia... This beautiful, striking WONDERFUL Dahlia.  This yellow bloom with a dark center and crisp thick petals and burgundy foliage... Were RS to come out with Yellow resin, I thought to myself, This... THIS would be a flower I'd want for a yellow fairy.  I actually carried the flower around I was so smitten with the flower and Idea... but I was very disappointed to know that this Dahlia, common name Mystic Illusion, is a "new" flower... and Dahlia is it's latin name... along with every other Dahlia ever.  So with my naming conventions I can't use any Dahlia.  FML.  Well my wallet is happy... But I'm not.  I'd already started getting an idea for the fairy's stuff, she was going to be aboriginal, I was hoping for Africa or Australia as an origin for this flower... Cus how cool would tribal steampunk be?  It may still be in the cards for the future but not yet...

Welp, time to go update the blog's lists and stuff... and there's a cat in my way....

I think I just spammed myself!

So I have finally gotten everyone into their own posts.  Might eventually have to put one up for mom's new bunny but as of right now, everyone other than the rabbit has a post and I'm happy with that.

I'm slowly working towards getting all my ducks in a row.  I wanna get all the RS dolls I know and own dolls made, I have Koth, Orn and marius to do both heads and bodies for.  I have some "for now's" up, Fig isn't quite how he should be, his legs and arms are too thin, same with Aster, plus right now I don't have a pixiu head on her, we'll get to that later.  For right now, I'm going to congratulate myself and then go lay the fuck down cus my stomach hurts.

History: So when my son was about 6 and a half he decided he wanted a doll.  I assumed this would be a passing fancy so I indulged him for what I figured would be however long he kept at it.  He told me he wanted one just like Val and I was like... Noooo... you can have a smaller one.  Here, here's the little boy.  And he was like, Yea.  I told him he would have to pay for it himself.  He started saving.  I expected him to forget cus... I mean 130 bucks is a lot for a six year old.  He managed to stick with it ( until he was 8... damn good for him) and he piggy backed him with Satie.

Update time

So I feel its time to do an update dump.  First thing I've already updated my dolls to all have the correct eyes in their profiles.  Feeling a little stupid that I hadn't done that yet >.>

Next up I plan on adding some of the other people dolls that are missing atm.  Logan doesn't have his own page, I think that April (mom's new girl) is still not even on here even though I did her face... Just some pages that need tossed up here.

Then I might just go about trying to update everyone with a pixel doll image since those are all murp atm.  IDK if I can do that cus... well I don't know if I've still got the images stashed away.  The comp has been screwed up a few times.  If not, then yay.  If I'm missing all the bases... THEN I'm going to have to go back through and reposes them from the dolls I've already made.

After I get basic dolls done I'm going to see about making more of the bigger dolls.  I've only done two of them and I really do prefer them to the littler ones, but the little ones are pretty quick and easy so I might end up with loads of them and only two of the others >.>  If I don't have the base for the two I've done, I might just toddle off to make dolls for my sis.

Either way I wanna work on this blog a little atm.
