Giddiness, Fluffiness and Unicorns. Miss My Melody makes her entrance.

Yay.

I’ve never quite fallen in love with a girl before she was even announced. Junko Wong posted a sneak peak of My Melody back in January, with her big fluffy ears and bright pink hair… and I was completely smitten. She’s an adventure to get this girl, but she’s full of snuggliness, and I understand that weird name “Softly Cuddly you and Me” – she looks like she could give you a good hug. I’d like to introduce you to the newest girl in my collection, and the one I’ve had to jump through the most hoops to get.

Pic heavy because I think I have a duty to share her – she’s a rare beast at the moment.

Yay.

Brunette Power and Unfortunate Fashion Choices

Recently I have been totally loving on my brunette girls Agnes (Lorshek Molseh) and my dark-locked Kenner Raven. I received a new hat from from Momo Penguinbaby which was this gorgeous knitted thing with built-in earmuffs and a tiny shroom on top, as well as a new dress from the Pumpkinbelle. So why not have the chocolate-haired girls model?

Oh My! Miss Sally Rice enters the House

I’ve always been enamoured with Miss Sally Rice. She constantly shows up on “Wishlist” girls for many Blythe Collectors. Like Margo Unique Girl, I never thought that I’d actually be able to obtain one. Her prices were always very high (hitting around the $800USD mark at the beginning of this year) and then… suddenly…

She appeared.

Comparing the different bodies for Blythe

Recently, I’ve been looking at re-bodying my Forty Winks girl Quinn as I wanted a younger look for her. I was thinking of putting her on a Licca body (which I will do a tutorial for soon) but while I was at it, I thought I would show you the difference between three of the most popular Blythe bodies: the Standard Takara, the Pure Neemo S and the Licca.

Meet Clover, an Autumn Beauty

A few weeks ago, I sent one of my gorgeous Les Jeunette’s off to Floriana of Almond Doll for a new look. It was a bit of a tough decision, as Les Jeunette is one of my favourites (this blog used to be named for her after all…) but I couldn’t resist. Almond Doll has been one of my favourite customisers for a really long time.

On Knotted Things

It is the second week of September, and the sun has finally come out of its long hibernation over the Australian winter, and we were greeted with this lovely, lovely, warm spring day. And what better to do then to make dolls, and photograph dolls! Outdoors! Fresh Air! Quick Drying Things!

Lounging in the sun, miss Cherry Beach Sunset

I was disappointed when I didn’t win the lottery for Cherry Beach – but I guess one of the pros of yammering on about dolls all the time is that my friends start to recognise that I love them. One of them, happening upon this “Tan girl with a blue dress” in Hong Kong, asked me if I wanted to pick her up. Of course I did – and she was within $10 of RRP. I was stoked.

Meet Marina! A girl with a lot of sass~

This weekend, after a few weeks of making Pullips I jumped back on the Blythe wagon again to practice those skills.

The Promised Family Photo (sort of)

I finally got off my lazy bum to take a family photo of the girls. Here’s almost all of the current (Blythe) family!

Raven, the Kenner

Remember a few months ago when I was just about to leave the country and the “original” arrived at my door? It was dark when I opened her box and I didn’t have the opportunity to take a proper photograph of her. So here she is – in bunny ears of course.
