Bear with me, please ;)
So I sold Elenna's current mold, which was Planetdoll Riz. Something began to bug me with that model, and I guess it was not just the poor posing abilities. It was something with the look on her face, something wasn't quite right with that sad/bored/hopeless look of hers. I need more character on her! And I kinda needed the munnies for Eden, so off she went. I'm slowly beginning to think about a new mold for her, since I'm definetely not going to dump the whole character though she's not a rpg character. At least I'm certain that the body will be that of Dollmore's, because I just looove those thighs and that child-like appearance. She's supposed to be 10-12 years old, and that counts most of the msd bodies out. I addition, she should be tall, to remain in scale with her momma. But the head..oh. None of the Dollmore heads appeal to me right now, so it's just the body I'm going to order there. I'm kinda fond of Dollstown models, maybe Elysia or Hannah. But there are others, so we'll see.
And oh, Geir - Angelsdoll Shakan - needs a body. Guess I'll need to order one whole doll from Angelsdoll (they don't sell bodies separately) and then sell the head. But not any time soon.

Doll plans.
So now for something more interesting ;) Guess I already hollered this in the Hartsilapset forum and everywhere else, but anyway. I fell for the new Idealian lady, Eden! I've already paid two layaway parts and sooo excited! I ordered her in normal skin, and I actually almost missed her because of this.. Soom screwed something with the skintones as they published Eden and there was only the ws available at first, so I cursed and screamed because I had been waiting for another Idealian lady for...well, since the last one that I also missed. But then Soom gave the other skintone options and there I was pressing the order button!
So now I'm finally getting my Nolia the barbarian, the most important character of mine <3 In other words the Grail of my doll hobby ^^ Her head will move onto her twin sister, though, which I'll order next year. She'll be Iplehouse EID Carina, whose head will fly onto Nolia :) Sounds like a perfect plan to me! Not sure of the color matches etc, but the heads are enough alike to be twins and the same size so the rest is cosmetic. Nolia will get her muscular body and Ninian (the other twin) a tad skinnier but big enough body to fit into the barbarian frames the characters have. Yay!
Laurëas' head from Dollclans hasn't arrived yet...sigh. It says on the Dollclans website that the heads take 45-60 days to manufacture, and the day 45 was in the end of July, approx. Maybe I'll get him in November...eh. Sure hope he'll slip past the customs. His body, a drastically modded (not by me!) and then restored (by me! ;)) Granado guy, is waiting eagerly for a head on its shoulders. And I can't wait to start making an armor for him! I've already started an armor project for Emèriel..oh, I'll need yet another post ;)
As for Brynja and Geir the werewolves...uh. They're in progress ;)
Gorgeous!!! Too bad there are no ns pics on the Soom sites.

And thus I became a crazy cat lady!
Hiya!
Oh, the summer came and went..geez, time runs so fast there's no tomorrow. Well, it was fun the time it lasted. I'm back at school work again, on a work practice to be exact. Henna turned eight last Friday and she started 2nd class in school. We did let Walle and Martta become parents after all, they got seven little babies a 11 days ago ;) Needless to say we're all quite dazzled!
Oh, and... We got a fifth cat ;) Just couldn't make up my mind to have it or not so here it came, when I stumbled upon a perfect little individual! His name is Oskari, named by Henna.
Oh yeah. Doll plans. I'll make another post for them!

This little girl's my favorite :) I just might keep her, but I'm not sure yet.
A nestful of cuteness <3

Liisa loves him and he loves kids!
Oskari the funny little critter ^^

Martta
I seem to do my updates in batches ;) Well, here's another! We've been thinking that our rabbit Walle needs a friend of his own kind, and a perfect little lady friend he got:
So here's Martta! (And Aukusti...he's everywhere!) She's a mix of a lionhair and a floppy-eared rabbit just like Walle, but oh no, we're not going to have their children so they're kept in different cages/rooms until Walle gets a little operation. That will be done in a couple of weeks, when our trusty vet ends her holiday. Martta is a very friendly little fellow, even tamer than Walle, and she likes our kids a lot :) A perfect little family rabbit that is :)

Summer!
Ah, finally.
This year it went way past the Midsummer up here for the summer to really arrive. Well, now it's here and the best of all things, by short little summer holiday began <3 Thank goodness for that, the spring was so very busy at school. But now I've reached halfway of my education! Next summer at this time I'll graduate :D How cool is that..
This summer consists of lots of fun things with and without the kids :) I've started my quilting project again, I've got a funky old doll restoration commission and I'm going to do various of other stuff during these 4 weeks. My mom promised that we would visit a couple of little antique heavens and finally, we're going to see the polar bear cub in Ranua zoo! And of course the other animals too ;) I so deeply love zoos! No wonder why ;) We already attended this "Day at the countryside" -happening nearby and saw some cows and other farm animals.

Ladies on a Valmet tractor :)
Henna on a little older version :P
Hope this won't start...
And, uh.. Some new dollies of course ;) More of those guys in the next posts! In addition to a new pet, too ;) Yeah, I'm hopeless ;) But hey, there are even more dubious ways to spend your munnies, eh?

Doll meme
Stolen from fairchildren ;)
Who was your first doll? Do you still own him, her, or it?
Hmm..it was a DIM Cordelia, who at first was a non-rpg character. But then I got this major idea of dollifying my characters so she became Emériel vol.1. Nowadays she's Azamoah the druid, but I'm going to turn her into another character again...yes, she's constantly changing but she's still here ;)
Who is your favorite doll?
Can't really pick a favorite. I seem to prefer some dolls over others time to time, but so far all of them have got enough attention, judging by the fact that they're all finished and funky :)
Which doll do you hope or plan to buy next?
Speaking of whole dolls, I'd like to buy two EID ladies because my most dear characters are still without doll form.. Yeah, I know, it's a veeery long shot, but one must have dreams, no?
Quick! You've instantly got $800 and must choose a doll to spend it on right now or it's gone forever! Who do you pick?
Well, the EID lady #1 ;)
Quick! You've instantly got enough money for any one and must choose a doll to spend it on right now or it's gone forever, but this time you have to buy the doll for someone else! Who gets the dolly, and what do you get them?
Hmm, I guess my wannabe- doll hobbyist -hubby Ari would get the doll, and it would be Iplehouse Dexter with his limited western gear :) OR Ender the Idealian.
Are you currently waiting on any dolls, heads, or bodies?
Of course.. A beautiful Domadoll body for Loumi the halfling <3
Do any of your dolls seem to like you to the point that they are infatuated with you?
Uh...hell no, they're pieces of very expensive plastic, not living beings.
Do any of your dolls seem to dislike or even hate you?
They better not ;) Sometimes their joints bite, though ;)
Who's your most expensive doll at the time you purchased them, not counting items you bought separately for them?
Must be Gunvald. He's a Soom Idealian/Iplehouse EID hybrid. Not terribly pricey in the doll market in general, but for my wallet he was.
Who's the least expensive doll you own?
This one has to be Rhona (Lati Yellow Lea), she cost me some $120.
Is there a limit to what you'd spend on a doll?
Definetely. Something round $700-$800 is my limit.
Which doll did you wait for the longest so far?
I've waited for one doll from Customhouse (yeah, the bittersweet event they had..) for 7 months. More than the waiting, she was totally wrong size for my scale. So I didn't keep her..
Which doll had the shortest wait so far?
Hmm. Maybe Aldous the cat (who I don't own anymore) or Brynja and Geir the two new characters. They were almost thrown to me ;) And Gunvald. I got his body almost the same instant we agreed on his sale :)
Who's the biggest doll you own?
Gunvald ;) Some 74cm <3
Who's the smallest doll you own?
Rhona, being 12cm tall.
Got any floating heads? If yes, how likely are they to receive bodies anytime soon?
Yep, two of them actually. They're very likely to receive bodies, in fact one of them is already having one - as soon as I wipe the paints off of Azamoah. Her character will be completely renewed (again ;)) and Brynja will get her body. Geir the other floating head is currently on the look for a body.
Got any floating bodies?
Nooo. I wish I had.
Do you have any extra, unclaimed pairs of eyes? How many if so?
Oh yes. I dunno how many really.
Do you have any extra, unclaimed wigs? How many if so?
Have to admit that I've half a dozen of these too.. Should sell them.
Anything you've said "never" to in the hobby that you later gave in to?
Haha, don't get me started ;) No guys, no msd:s, no 70cm dolls, not more than 5 etc... Broken all of them ;)
Do you own dolls that aren't BJDs?
Yup, a Blythe and a Basaak/Blybe fake, some self-made creatures, one self-made porcelain doll, some vintage dolls, a collection of matryoshkas. I think I collect dolls in general O___o
What was your last doll-related purchase?
I bought the body for Loumi.
What do you expect your next doll-related purchase to be?
Wigs for Brynja and Geir or shoes for Loumi, I reckon.
What was the last doll-related thing to arrive to you by mail?
Geez. Other than Blythe, it must have been Emériel's head or her shoes...it has been a while.
What was the last doll-related thing you purchased in person?
Brynja and Geir's heads :)
Not counting floating heads, floating bodies, and anything on layaway (paid off dolls count), how many complete dolls do you own?
A round, sweet figure of ten. Next week eleven or twelve - depending on myself cleaning up Brynja's body and/or getting the body for Loumi.

Kaisa
So the promised Blythe post then ^^ Here's my new addition, Kaisa the Blybe (Blythe fake, but so precious!):
Kaisa is a shy little one ^^ She's actually a custom made by a dolly friend of mine :) Just HAD to adopt her when I saw she was for sale.
Kaisa likes turquoise, which is nice! She also seems to like all other bright colors together with black and white, so she will have a little more alternatives in colors than Reetta. Not everything suits her red hair but Kaisa is a whole different story ;)
