I’ve slowly been trying to find some more time for my dollies. Since the update has been so long in coming, I’ve realized that there’s been some shifting of dolls since I last joined you. I now have 9 Blythes, 2 Pullips (one in pieces), 1 Taeyang, and 1 Dal. 2 Blythes were sold and [...]

Life in August
Posted in blythe, life, names, new girl on August 17, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Everything new is old again. I love my new job but it’s of course as exausting as any teaching job, although second-year teaching is NOT first year teaching by any means and I have a bag of tricks now that make everyday things much easier.
My OMGZ!!1! Full time job blythe arrived from Hong Kong. She’s [...]
Little things

I wonder why we like little things so much. I love how many crazy aunties by girls have who can’t resist the temptation to make something small. Even smaller than possible for hoomans. Life reduced in scale, it’s poignant, precious. The doll laundry doesn’t pile up, the doll dishes never need to be done.
I made [...]
Four out of five

I have actually opened four out of five of my dolls. Here’s the rundown.
1. Alonza. RBL. Easy Peasy gaze correction, boggling. Wow, I thought, this is great. I can do this to all my dolls.
2. Garnet, ADG. A little scary. Involved cutting the back of her scalp open (jaggedly). I then clipped too much [...]
Time is running out…

In my summer of Blythe. Soon I’ll have to go back to teaching and not get to spend so much time with my dollies. We are also moving, so the whole thing is just crazypants. My last doll of the summer arrives today, #6, and to round things out, she’s and ADG like Garnet. [...]
Brain surgery

I opened my first Blythe head! Alonza’s a champ. She’s also my only RBL, so she was a shoe in.
I wanted to gaze correct, boggle, and spray matte.
First off, it took me ages to unhook the spring, I finally had to use tweezers, I have tiny crochet hooks but they don’t cooperate!
I cut my t-bar [...]
Meet Dell and Cade

Two new girls joined our household last week, and I’ve only just had time to introduce them. 5 dollies are a lot of work!
Here are Dell and Cade, stretching after their long trip.
Here’s Dell. Her full name is Bedell, my mom’s maiden name. She kind of reminds me of pictures of my mom when she [...]
10 reasons to buy an ADG Blythe
Posted in blythe on July 4, 2008 | 5 Comments »
There has been a lot of controversy in the Blythe world about the reason that ADG Blythes are allowed to exist. They are actually more offensive to the eyes than Little Big Eyes, Barbie, Bratz, and Little Miss No Name combined. We all know they are to Kenners what swimming fish apes are to humankind. [...]
Our world, disassembled

It’s hard to create a dolly microcosm when you are trying to move. When we get to the condo, the girls will have the top 2 shelves of a bookcase all to themselves. Currently they are living in two squares of Ikea expedit, which is not big enough! And the family is growing!
Here are the [...]

Alonza is here!
Poor dear, I yanked out her orange eyechips within 15 minutes of her arrival. I don’t think I really started to bond with her until I put on her glasses. Then she had me singing Jefferson Starship!
Lost in thought…her front facing eye chips were replaced with Brainworm Lime. Wow, do her [...]
