I haven’t gotten out my Pullip dolls to play with in a while so I think that’s what I’ll be doing this weekend. The dolly below is one I made from one of the Pullip MIO kits. I’ve made and customized lots of Pullips over the years but this was the doll I first tried carving the face on, and the first time I made a mohair wig (which I’m still pretty bad at but this didn’t turn out too badly).
Once I was done working on this doll I fell in love with how cute and sweet the face ended up being and couldn’t part with her so I named her Colette and kept her all for myself🥰

Here's a doll room box I made in the late 90s
and then this is from 2004
It's hard to see, but the walls were covered with a gift wrap that had really small pale blue stripes
This room box from 2006 left the foam core plain white
and this is the one that's sitting in a closet storage area right now, with fabric on the walls
bonus:
I had the day off so I got to play dress up! Finally!!
Fashionista 182 quickly becoming my new muse 💕 I wanted to use her as a "Barbie as Briar Beauty" and stick to pinks and such but anything you put on her looks incredible.
"Briar" is wearing:
Sheryl Meyer's main outfit skirt/dress and belt
Loves.Glam shoes from the Fail Fix doll line
and, the most precious item in all of my doll collection, a 1991 Disney Classics Cinderella's puffy sleeve top. I love Selkie dresses and I'm so happy I ever managed to save this top for all these years. It's older than me!
I'm still trying to get a hold of the whole doll photography thing but at least that mousepad repurposed as a doll rug was a great find!

Since July is the Disability Pride Month and the Barbie Movie Month, here's my collection of Barbie dolls with disabilities.
Mattel has been adding disability representation to their doll series since 2019. So far we've had at least 6 Barbie dolls in wheelchairs, along with 2 Kens and 2 Chelsea dolls (little kid sized dolls).
There are 4 Barbie dolls and 1 Ken with prosthetic legs.
There's a doll with hearing aids, and a doll with Down Syndrome designed in association with National Down Syndrome Society.
There are also dolls with conditions like Alopecia and Vitiglio.
Mostly they come out in the Fashionistas line, but sometimes they also crop up in other thematic series, like "You can be anything", and so we had a Para-alpine skiier and an Interior Designer with a prosthetic leg.
There's also a doll honoring Helen Keller from "the Inspiring Women" series.
And in the clips from the "Barbie" movie, you can spot a Barbie in the wheelchair dancing along with others at Barbie's party.
