You Can Learn A Lot Of Things From The Flowers For Especially In The Month Of June

Me: I should write something

me : … or I could spent 78 hours straight making a miniature library with a working LED chandelier

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🥰

Perfect place for date

Mary Poppins “Jolly Holiday” Inspired Blythe

Blythe a Day December 2023 for: Mary Poppins

♫ "Oh it's a jolly 'oliday with Mary

Mary makes your 'eart so light!

When the day is gray and ordianry

Mary makes the sun shine bright!

Oh, 'appiness is bloomin' all around 'er

The daffodils are smilin' at the dove

When Mary 'olds your 'and

You feel so grand

Your 'eart starts beatin' like

A big brass band!

It's a jolly 'oliday with Mary

No wonder that it's Mary that we love!" ♫

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!
