working day 20 (I think)

So, Felix is home for a while, like a week, and I contacted the dealer about the small s hook that lati did not send. She said she'll contact them for me, I would've done it myself, except that I didn't order with them directly and it might create a bit of a problem, since I can not give them stuff like order# and such. Better to have the dealer take care of it.

I sent out 3 heads to be face-up, and we should get them all back soon. I hope.

I can't wait to see what Dillon gonna look like.

I'm still waiting for LE Bory. 20 days down, unknown number more to go.

Well, I don't think it's gonna take as long as Lati anyway, so I'm not even gonna worry about it.

I started on a new layout for the blog, it's about time. This time it's Kahlan/Cara, because Cara is so awesome, and Kahlan is to die for. LOL

Sheep Ruki Arrived

Finally, after about 4 + months of waiting, I got a call from Lati Dealer on Saturday night, that she'll be shipping my order out on Sunday.

So, my Lati Yellow Special Sheep Version : Ruki is finally here. I figure that it'll be Tuesday or something to get to me, but today I got to work and found a small package. Another order I forgotten about, a Leeke GO, Dillon's new shoes are here, of course, right now Dillon is out for a new face-up. So, that will have to wait. Then I walked to the back and there it was, a brown box. I knew what it was.

I didn't open it right away. I waited a while and took it to next store.

Well, someone is as happy to see him as I am.

I'm naming him Felix, so he can be Findlay's twin, except he'll be sheep. LOL

What a cutie.

I brought him to the movie with me as well, my sister wanted to see him, so I took him, with hooves and horns and all.

I think I'm gonna leave him in Sheep form. I like it.

:)

He's kicking like crazy though.

day 16th, working day 12th

we went to Dollfete on Sunday, it was kinda fun, except the kids thing, it's annoying to a point. Especially when they get whiny.

I got a set of Dollheart outfit, which is really. I mean it's hard to buy their stuff, because they cost so much and kinda hard to get, I got a set of Lati outfit, a pair of yo-sd shoes, and some hoodies, an outfir from foxy browny. I know I shouldve gotta another outfit from there, but I'm not a big fan of dresses, and well, I could make them, so it's hard to get something I can sew myself.

I never went to any meet, so I don't know anyone there, still it was something to see all those dolls. I brought Morgan, but with the kids, I didn't take her out until later, and not for very long.

I was all cramp up when I got back, still tired even now.

I'm gonna go watch Princess Diary now and reminiscence. :)

waiting period : LE Bory

I was surprised, a couple of days ago, someone posted box opening for their Limited Edition Bory with dreaming head!

Wow, it took 2 weeks! 2 Weeks! That must be some kind of record, I'm still waiting for my Lati Specual Sheep ver.it's been 4 months now? And I still didn't get it, I'm thinking my Luts Limited Edition Bory gonna get here long before my lati did, and I only ordered it a little over a week ago, about 11 working days already.

The girl who received her Bory did not order any face-up or painting on the wings and weapon, so by my estimation, if she order the face-up and painting she'd probably get it in less than a month still.

So I'm thinking mine will probably be 4-6 weeks. :)

I'm excited to be honest. :)

the big move

So, I have to move the blog over to blogspot, because blogger no longer allow ftp publishing, but it's not a big deal, since I won't have to worry about my entry not getting published.

I'm currently working on mushroom house for my tinies. Yeah, so far we got mushroom shape alerady, I made the front door, just need to attach it and then make a sort of frame for it as well as putting a roof over it, already cut out some roof tile, we'll see if I need more.

I decided that I want LE Bory, I'm not a big fan of Bory, too many Bory around for me to feel that he's spacial, we have a Bory girl though. She's adorable. But this one has wings! It's the wings that did me in.

Mom just rolled her eyes when I told her. I know I've been spending a lot lately, so after this one I'll start working on some project so I won't be tempt to order anything for a while.

Same can't be said for my sister. She just thinks that we should enjoy now. Which is fine and dandy, except she has too many to even be able to play with them all.

Mushroom house will keep me busy for a long while, then after that I wanna try, either pumpkin or another mushroom.

Or maybe make it easier on myself and go for tree stump.

Off to bed and watch Criminal Minds.

Settled on one Wig

So, it's unanimous the first wig it is.

Now Morgan has a wig. And the other one I gave to Jaime, which she will alternate between that and her cat ear wig.

Today I brought Morgan to work, and in the afternoon I brought her to my a-i-l store, her sister was all squeeing and stuff over Morgan, said this wig really suits her and she's so cute, which is a completely difference from when I first brought Morgan, she didn't like Morgan in dark brown bob-cut wig, at all. Like they said, a wig really makes a doll.

After a chat I took Morgan back to my store, I, of course, stopped at the small cosmetic booth to chat a little. While I was talking, a lady walked by, I already saw her noticed Morgan in my hand.

It's nothing new, but most people would just kept on walking. Not this lady, noooooooo... she zeroed in on us, cooing over Morgan, she already reached out a hand to, I'm guessing, take her from my hand, which I pulled back a little, and at the same time she asked when I got her. I said I ordered her. She was all.. oh... (Like she's gonna go buy the same doll in a minute had I bought her around here). Then she asked how much... I didn't really wanna tell her, because it really wasn't something i wanna broadcast. Although everyone that knew I have them kinda knew the price. Not exact price, mind you, but general.

After I told her the round up number she walked away. This girl that ran the booth was saying that the doll worth that money. Which I was kinda surprise, but a little, she thought Morgan (and the rest of them) were cute as a button. :)

It was weird.

new package arrived

The new package's arrived today, after about 3 days of waiting.

I joined a Leeke and Luts GO on a local BJD board, both ran by the same girl, so it was easy enough to get them to combine the package, since it came in about the same time.

Originally, I wanted a pair of MSD shoes from Leeke and 1 Yo-SD size wig, but alas, the shoes were out of stock, so I decided that I'll just get another wig. I could always keep the extra for when I wanna change their look, or in waiting for a new member of my resin family. (ha ha ha!)

I also got a pair of honey-delf size shoes on Luts, a set of outfit for Dillon, another wig. Yeah, we have lots of wigs here.

So far I'm trying to settle between 2 wigs for my LTF Bisou girl.





I also got a pair of fist-hands for Dillon as well. I feel that it'll be easier to change his clothes with fist-hands. LOL, but either his regular hands or fist, doesn't bother me much, cause I usually don't have him wear anything all that tight.

I might also change Jaime's wig, but I love her in the kitty ear fur still. So I might not.

Now, a Mushroom Dollhouse. Didn't do anything on it last night. Probably won't tonight I have early shift tomorrow, after all.

I hate morning!

progress : Mushroom dollhouse

I got 5 layers of papermache down before I removed the cap part off of the mold, and that was when I realized that it wasn't thick at all. And it'll take a hell of a lot more to thicken it up to the point where I can really use it.

But at least it holds its shape.

I read someone else's attempt, and after I read that she only had 2 layers down before removing it, I thought to myself, what made she thinks that it would be thick enough? But that's her attempt. I told myself to go through at least 5 layers before doing that, since I do not have a core of anything to help. 10-20 more layers before it's workable. I think.

I already put down a layer of craftpaper which is thicker than newsprint on the stem. I'll do that for a couple layers, and on the cap to see how that works, even though this was intended to be recycle, and I had to buy craft paper on big roll. Since I had it for pastel drawing anyway, it works out.

The 42" LCD tv works out well. I still owed my sister some money, but she didn't come over yet, so I'll give it to her when I see her. Apparently she wanna order some wigs, so, I'll see to that.

I recently ordered 2 dresses from Tanya's Style for her. Tanya was extremely nice about it, because I e-mail her and not going through the ordering system that she set up. She even gave a free dress too. She's awesome. I'm a fan.

I sorta have in mind what I wanna do with the mushroom dollhouse. I think for the furniture insides, my theme would be found object, as in things that find and mod to suit my purpose.

We'll see how it goes.

new year... more things... and some stuffs

Current Project : Mushroom dollhouse
Listening : Crawling

So, right now I'm without a television. Oh yeah.. my Plasma TV is broken. I had the tech came in to take it, maybe it can be fixed, although it's about 5 years old, which is about the amount of time for its use anyway.

Mom said if it's too much trouble to fix, just get a new one..

Yeah, a 46" plasma...

On the good side though, it's cheaper than it was before when I first got it. Dad was alive then, and he seemed to have less problem letting me getting it, since I work. The same can't really be said the same with mom.

Oh she'll let me get it, but not without the complaining and bitching.

There are a few things that make me happy. Good movies, good shows, toys, TV was half that that since I can't watch the movies and shows without it. I can watch it on my computer, sure, but I wanna lay back and be comfortable, too!

The guy didn't call me back yet, we'll see how it goes. Maybe I'll get a new tv.

I've just recently finished the dolltrunk for my sister, a halloween theme trunk.



Now that it's done, I'm onto the next one.

A Mushroom shape dollhouse.

I don't know why I wanna make it, I guess I wanna make a house for my tiny, however, a traditional house would require that I be very precise about every cut and every little thing, which sometimes I can't be, I'm just not that. Mushroom is an organic shape, so I can make it however I want, as long as I get the floor level, it'll be fine. The only thing I need to worry about is the stability. So far I got the basic shape. The stem and the cap. A few more layers of papermache and I'll cut it out off the base then put in the floor to sustain the shape and continue. I have to pick up some tissue papers as well. I'm gonna paint the outside (or spray paint. who knows)

So, off to bed. I'll draw another picture for Oral as well.

project : dollhouse

My new project (for new year too) I'm making a dollhouse.

Now it's a toss up between mushroom and tree trunk and to whom it'll go to.

If I make the dollhouse to also fit the 27 cm size, the first floor has to be at least 30cm. in height. and the room would be rather small. If only for Lati yellow, then it didn't have to be that big, but then I can just make the test one and see how it goes.

I do think Mushroom will make a cute dollhouse, it just won't be all that big.

I just picked up a re-ment strawberry town set, and after new year I'll order the mushroom set. :D

Today I asked my grandpa for the plastic paint gallon, that will be my starting point.

I think I'm gonna make it in half, one half at the time. I'll put hinges on it as well as latch, so that it can be open and close. Papermache will probably be better, less weight, or rather i hope it'll have less weight.

Today : start.

...

I'm on duty today, opening the store, and I feel kinda under the weather. A bit fuzzy. LOL.

I had a weird dream last night (or rather early morning, depend on how you look at it) I dream of my father, or rather, of a motorcycle he left behind. Which in real life, he did not leave anything of that kind. I mean there was an old motorcycle, but in my dream it was a kawasaki ksr, weird, maybe I just wanted it.

Then it was my dad himself. Only for a min, then I woke up. It was so weird.

Tomorrow is Christmas, and I planned on taking some photo tonight. Last minute really. I can't do it any other way I guess.

I'm still planning it in my head for that. At first I planned on buying a tiny tree for it, but then decided against it, what am I gonna do with it later.

I've been making 2 jackets for the tinies, first one was a little small, but now I realized that had I not line it then it wouldn't have been.

Still I like it better lined anyway.

Another one today, since between me and my sister we have 4 yo-sd size.

new shiny glass eyes

Once again I joined Group Order, and again, it was Dollmore. This time I decided that I was gonna get a couple pair of glass eyes, I mean, hey, if I don't like it, then I can just resell it, no big deal.

Once the eyes got here, I found that the colors were slightly different, but not in the bad way.

Jaime (CH Ange-Ai Hani) has such small eyes, in comparison to Chuck (which is a Luts Honey-Delf Lolly)I noticed that CH Ange-Ai has small eyes, made the original glass eyes that came with her useless.. they were pale purple, and when they were in her head, you just could not see the color at all, unless you shine the light directly into her face. It wasn't pretty.

The new color I got her was Aqua blue, it was quite nice. I liked it. I have a thing for blue eyes, anyway, so if I buy more eyes they will probably all be blue. Last time I bought a pair of Cobalt Blue and Red acrylic eyes, they were Glib, they were really nice. My sister took the red pair (although I sorta intended it for Dillon, he had gray eyes on him already, it was close enough to blue that I thought what the hack, give him a pair of red.) Now Alice spotted a pair of red eyes.

This time I also order a pair of blue special Dollmore eyes for him they has swirly pattern in side the iris. I still didn't change his eyes though, I do like Glib cobalt blue that I got him, so I'll let him have them in for now, once I feel like tinkering with the eyes positioning, then I'll change them out, no big deal.

Since all the Luts doll we got came with green acrylic, all of them. Now I have 3 pairs of green eyes (2 16mm. 1 14mm.) Now that they weren't nice, but they were pretty dark, so now I changed out the green acrylic from Chuck and put in the pale purple instead, they look really good with her, since she has such big eyes to begin with.

I was looking through some Mystic eyes, and some Kanis, maybe... maybe.. Mystic were nice, but they take really long.. at least 8 weeks for $55 a pair. Though I really like the ones that Tanya has for her MSD boy Moji, they were gorgeous, she said it was Mystic and they were $70 a pop, and 6 months wait.

I do not have the patience.

And the wait was after the preorder period.

Apparenly Luts is releasing 2 more Kid-Delf... man and I planned to get Lemon, too. I wanna get 2 more MSD girls, or just one, but gotta be girl. I had my eye on Lishe minifee, but who knew. They were only tentative plan. LOL.

My back hurts, off to bed I go.

struck in the head with tiny little hoof!

My doll plan was that I'm gonna save up to get another girl Luts Kid-Delf next. I have my sight set on Lemon. She's a cutie, and even though I really like Hodoo and they have Hodoo girl now (with me having to order a head and a body and stuff) I already have Dillon which is a Hodoo boy, I don't want a twin. Well, maybe I do, but not now.

I saw a few Hodoo girl already, and most of them looked like a spoiled princess. Not that it's a bad thing.

I also like the smart alec look of a minifee Lishe.. LOL. So she's in my tentative plan as well.

The plan, however, got foiled when Lati came out with their special edition.

I thought I was home free when I saw their special ver. Dragon.

They were cute, but there's nothing in me that said, 'GET THEM!!!' so the Dragons flew right over, not kick, no hit, not even a heat of the flame.

And then came their special ver.

Lati Yellow Special Ver. Sheep.

OH. MY. GOD.

I got struck by the hooves.

If you can see me.. you'll see a hoof print on my forehead.

I showed mom, she said up to you. So I take that was a permission to get. I'm getting a Ruki (again) I think he's cute, he has this smile on his face, like an air-head. LOL.

So, there'll be 2 Ruki in the house.. I'm sure it'll be fun. Maybe we'll get another 'F' name.

upgrading time : desk top

I'm getting my desktop upgrade, so tomorrow a guy I know will be picking it up at my house for me (I always have him pick up too.. I'm just lazy that way). It's been dreadful for a while now. With the weird noise and stuff... and since I thought about upgrading it anyway, so... here's the time to do it.

So, now I'm just moving stuff off of it and temporary save everything on my 1TB external HDD for now, mostly will consist of photos, musics and movies. I think this is the perfect time to declutter too.

My mom knocked out the mouse we use for the laptop at the store. It was so weird. At first I thought that something was wrong with the USB port, then I plugged in the flash drive and it worked fine, only the mouse that the light didn't come on, so I figure it was the mouse, so today I had to do with the touch pad, that was sorta annoying.

I'm planning on ordering some wig, shoes, clothes for the new girl, I still don't have name for her yet, and probably won't for a while, since I still gonna redo her face-up. Maybe I'll send it to Tanya, she's awesome with face-up anyway.

Ok, back to moving things.

Cindy : hey, how's it going?? :D You're doing well, I hope.

s6 ep2 of SYTYCD, and new doll

I just watched the new season of SYTYCD, don't see any favorite yet, so far from LA audition. I'm hoping that someone will stick out to me eventually. Hopefully.

Tomorrow is the series premiere of The Vampire Diaries, I'm really hoping that I won't be disappointed as well. I was disappointed with Twilight, really I was. Good thing I didn't have such a high expectation of it to begin with. I think the only reason I went to see it was that my cousin wanna see it. What vampire doesn't have fangs, that just take the fun out of the whole thing.

And what I really don't agree with was the whole relationship, annoys the hell out of me. Someone who does not love him/herself, will never love anyone else. Edward hates himself, so my suggestion would be, go kill yourself. It was horrible.

My sister said she read the book (I won't bother with it) and she had to put it down every so often because Bella annoys the shit out of her!

Tomorrow also season premiere for Supernatural. I'm really looking forward to that!

Now that LCF is out, what's gonna happen next!

I got a new doll the other day as well.. a Ange Ai Hani from CustomHouse. She's 27cm. so she should be able to share some clothes and stuff with Chuck. But I have to get her a pair of shoes and some wig. I'll have to start from scratch for this one, since it was sold with no face-up. I got a pair of purple glass eye with her though.

Now my plan is..
1. sand her down (only a little)
2. coat her with MSC uvcut
3. Face-up

and my extra plan was that if the face-up I did was dreadful I'll book a slot with either Tanya or someone from BJD board for a face-up. LOL. Can't go wrong with Tanya though, she's awesome!

I'm hoping that I won't have to though, so anyway, I'll have to pick up 3 grades of sandpapers tonight. I'll start with head first.

Ok, that's the plan for tonight, sand the head.

Oh yeah and make some logo for a friend's. Yup.

BJD, some clothes, new doll

My sister got a new BJD, I don't really know when she got the doll, but well, she needed me to sprayed MSC UVcut for her, since she won't do it herself.

It was a Lati Yellow, Angel Prayer Lea version.

It was positively tiny!!

I can't imagine what a Lati White would look like smaller than this. Anyhow, now between the two of us we have 4 BJD. And 4 letters in the Alphabet. LOL.

We have..

Alice : Luts : Kid-Delf Bory girl
Bea (Beatrice) : Lati Yellow : Angel Prayer Lea
Chuck (Charlotte) : Luts Honey-Delf Lolly
Dillon : Luts : Kid-Delf Hodoo

Hodoo was the first doll that I wanted.. it was so weird, I saw him on Luts and I thought, wow, I want that one!!

So, Besides spraying UVcut, I have to make them clothes as well.. which meant that the doll trunk got push aside, I should picked it up again, very soon. I'm just lazy right now.. LOL.

And I had a thought.. I wanna get Lati Yellow (sp.) 1 Lea and 1 either Cookie or Lumi.. to make Baby Buffy and Faith. LOL..

Well, gotta save up, I guess..

HP6 and random ranting

I went to see Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince last night with a couple of friends. Just so that we didn't catch ourselves settle for the inconvenient time, I ran to the theater and bought the tickets ahead of time.

The show time was every 50 min, and still the seats were full. I mean, the only ones that aren't occupied would be the roles up front, who would wanna sit there, right.

Anyhow, I read the book, so I knew what was coming. It was a good movie, understandably short for the size of the book. I mean, they cut a lot off, which was to be expected.. what I can't stand was...

WHY WAS NARCISSA SO OLD!!!!

In the book she was supposed to be beautiful, if she didn't make the face as if she was smelling something unpleasant. So, why did they cast someone so old. Lucious wasn't that old. And I thought Narcissa was younger than Bellatrix!

I don't care, to me, Cissy is younger than Bella!!

God.. that was painful, good thing she only showed up for 2 scenes.

I'm learning how to face-up.. lots of practice, told myself.



I did one, I think I'm gonna try attaching the lashes before erase this face-up to do another. But not tonight. I'm spraying Chuck with UVcut. Almost done now though. Only 2 coats, or we'd be doing it all night.

Introduce Dillon and Charlotte



Also been playing Farm Town, Pet Society, Restaurant City on Facebook... man, was that addictive or what.

Well, better get back to the spraying, I still got to do the hot glue seuding of the joints as well.

new hobby

Yes, I got a new thing to be obsessed over. BJD (Ball-Jointed Doll) I've been wanting it for the longest time.. Actually I saw it just a bit after my friend showed me some Blythe's picture, I found the first photo of BJD on Flickr.com I think. And since then I've been looking at them and wanting them, I think it's been a year now and I finally got 1 (or 2 depend on how you look at it).

I placed an order with Luts on 4/27 which was a Friday, which meant that even though my payment confirmed right away (like no more than 30 min after) the order won't be sent to the production till Monday. The waiting time is 35-45 business days, which was why I didn't expect the dolls before 2 months (because of the face-up too... that is another 14 days tacked onto the waiting pediod).

Surprised, surprised, we got the dolls less than a month later. :)

I ordered a Kid-Delf Hodoo and a Kid-Delf girl Bory.

They are adorable. I was afraid that I might not want them anymore once they got here, but hey, so far so good.

I learned to sew.. yeah... I didn't think I would but I did. Not so good at it right now, but I'll make it.. practice, baby, it's all about practice.

Gah! I've been so busy with BJD that I hardly do anything else, it's time to get back on the horses as they say.

new collection

I bought a small set of Sylvanian Families the other day.. it was Papa Boris' Garden set. I like small things, so Re-Ment, Sylvanian Familes (Calico Critters in the US I think) are right on target. :)

The mall nearby has a sale right now. You can get 3 or 4 levels shelves for $8 and $11 respectively. The outside of it is white, but the inside is either blue or pink. I wanted the blue, but there as no blue (or maybe I didn't see it) so I picked up 4 levels one, I might get more. Maybe I'll lay in on the side on top of my other shelves. Actually, the purpose of it was so I can have a place to put my dolls in and small things, because they occupied my other desk and I needed the space, last thing I really need is to knock one of them off the desk because I was getting stuff. They are a bit too expensive for that.

The size of each level was pretty good, even though it's not high enough for the doll to stand (it was a little under 12") But it's fine. I made a closet for it too, cause I need a place to hang up the doll clothes.

My sister just sold 1 and she's gonna go ship it out today.

She said she's gonna bring all her dolls (the one she might sell) and leave them all with me, because there seems to be problem everytime she said she gonna sell. It was weird.

I told her maybe they didn't wanna leave!!

Anyhow, I got stuff filled in on each shelves already, but things are subject to change. :)

Blogger's being a B yesterday, I couldn't get in, don't know why.

And when I finished the dolltrunk, I will start on a new layout for this and my site as well.. time to change.

been a while

Well, I've been away from blogging for a while. Maybe because I've been doing something else. :D

I've recently gotten a new phone. Only because the last one died. I'm not one to change phone often, because I like familiarity, I like to know what to do with what I have. Everytime I change cellphone, it usually takes me a little while I get use to it. This time is no different.

My last phone was iPaq,a pocket pc. It worked for me.. although I don't think I've used it to its full potential. :) I rarely even sync it to my comp.

At first I wanted to wait for iPhone, for the 3G to be ready in my area, but well, when I thought about it, what's the point. And since my phone died, I needed to get a new one..

And then came Omnia.

I've always liked Samsung, my very first phone was Samsung and it served me well, until the washing and drying took it. LOL. Then my second phone, also Samsung, and the third was also Samsung VGA1000. I loved that phone.

Even my fourth, until it was stolen, that is.

So, now it's Omnia, and so far, I liked it a lot. :) It's easy on the eye, the camera on it was 5megapixle. It sounds good, and well, not that complicate.

Also, my family's into Blythe recently as well. The damn doll is on the rage right now here. It's cute, but I won't spend fortune on it.

I have 5, 2 of which remained in boxes, 2 were second hand, and 1 was brand new, the only reason that the last one got taken out of the box because my nephew accidentally stepped on the box (I'd rather not think that my sister planned it so I would take the doll out... )

What I have ... Excellent Hollywood (only because she reminds me of Miranda Priestly from DWP, and I do love Meryl in that role) French Trench (another short hair girl) Dainty Biscuit (I'm not big on pink, but her eyes are gorgeous) Miss Sally Rice (well, her hair's blue!!) And my last My Little Candy (another gorgeous eyes colors.)

Also been making doll trunk for everyone else but me.

I've make 2 already, first one my aunt took..



And second one, my sister took..



Now I'm currently making a third one, which again, my sister called dip on it. This one holds 2 dolls. And a girlfriend of my cousin asked for 1, but she didn't get me material yet.

I used cardboard from a Microwave box for the first one... one large cardboard box was enough for the entire thing!

The second one was made from cardboard boxes also, 4 of them, from this healthy juice thing my mom ordered... they are small, so... still recycle!! (or was it upcycle?) Hardware I got from local hardware store, and some handmade paper to decorate.. not to shabby. :)

Also made the hangers too...
