Dolls

Yes, the Heath doll is way too creepy to own. But, it will be interesting to see how some of the people finish the heads. Some people are going to do the Joker make-up. That is kind of upsetting because I don't think he was in a good place when he made that movie.

On a happier note...
I did a quickie photoshop of you boy in his wig!!! Eeek! He is going to be fantastic in it!


Well, better get to work! Have a great day!

Oh thanks! He looks great in the wig!! I sure wish I knew how many more weeks I have to wait before he is home The suspense of seeing him in person is going to kill me!!

Well, I found some jeans I really like at DDE, but they would be $40 shipped. I almost did it and then I just couldn't bring myself to pay $40 for just jeans. Oh well, I will just keep looking and I am sure one day a deal will pop-up! At least I hope so - or I may be forced to take sewing lessons!

So far not much snow! YAY! Maybe they will be wrong. They have changed today's forecast to 3-5 inches instead of maybe 10. Crossing fingers and toes!

Have a great day!

Talk to you later!

I should warn you that the dollzone boys are a little taller then most of the the other MSD boys so you will do best to get Dollzone clothes or pants that are being sold as will fit Dollzone boys...otherwise they may be too short! Are the ones you were looking at DDE made by Dollzone?

Did you ever ask if your order has been placed yet and when you can expect to get your doll?

No they were not. Thanks for letting me know! Glad I didn't buy them. I guess I won't bid on the ones on ebay either then. You know, I got thinking there are cool Dollzone outfits at DDE for $45 or less (sadly out of stock right now) so why pay $40 just for jeans? I will try to stick with Dollzone. I hope the outfit I bought from Mimiwoo works out Oh well, if the pants look like floods I'll but his specs on and say he is just a nerdy boy!

I JUST SOLD MORE CLOTHES!!! $14 more! YAY! I am really cleaning out the old doll closet! Pretty soon I will only have what I kept for Anisa and Aletta - lots of blue and gold things! I am thinking of using the money to get Milo some brown sunglasses that that same seller got in. I thought he might look cool in some shades!

I am bidding on a white wicker furniture set - a table and two chairs that would match the two rockers I got yesterday. I really want this set to put the tea sets and goodies on! Wish me luck!

OK, I bought them! I couldn't resist!! He will look so cool in them! Does it make any sense that I am completely in love and dedicated to this boy I have yet to meet??!!

Eeeek! I adore those sunglasses! I would'nt mind a pair like that for me!!!!

Keeping fingers crossed on the wicker set for you! Does it end today?

Glad you like them! I figured they would go well with his stock outfit and his 2 wigs.

The auction for the furniture ends at 8:00 PM central time. Sadly, all my tea sets/goodies are coming from China and will not be mailed out until after Easter. I am still waiting for the one blonde wig I ordered from a site in China on the 6th. I checked the sellers feedback again and he/she has 100% on a TON of sales for several years, so I am guessing they don't get things out as fast as the US sellers and then of course it takes a long time to get here, so I will be patient a little longer. I have never "not" gotten anything from ebay.

I did order a bakery re-ment from Dolls and Friends that I think is in Seattle? So that might get here pretty soon.

I have so much coming! Everyday I will be anxious for the mail to come for the next several weeks!!

The snow stopped. It was snowing like crazy for a couple hours but it already melted off the streets and sidewalks. Thank God since both boys are working tonight. Now BOTH of them are working on Easter I will have to work Easter dinner in after Justin gets home and before Eric leaves!

Back to housework!

Luca!! Lookie!! My boyfriend's new CD cover!!!!!!!! Ain't it purdy???? OMG May 6th can't come soon enough!!!!!!!!! (I know it is not doll related (well it is because I think he is a doll ) but I know you don't go to Clay's thread and I wanted to share it with you!)

Ooooh He has make-up on! Stylish!

Don't all stars have make-up on when they are on stage, TV, movies, photos? At least I thought they did. I think he looks awesome! His best cover ever.

Well, one hour to go on the auction and my tummy is in knots. It is the one and only table on ebay that would match the chairs.

I got the re-ment from Doll and Friends today. It is one of those 3 tiered serving dishes with pastries. So cute!

Yes, of course they do! I really did'nt mean anything negative! He just looks more made up to me than usual. The eyebrows and highlighted cheekbones especially...He does look attractive and it is a nice photo. I'm sorry my laydee, but he just does'nt do much for me looks wise. I cannot tell a lie...I do kind of like his singing though! To each his own I guess!

I am anxious to see the rement and how it looks scale wise with the MSD size dolls. YOu will have to post some photos if you get a chance.

*Keeping fingers crossed for you on the auction*

Well, I won't take pix until I have everything and set the table (if I get it) I know they will not be quite the right size, but I still think it will be cute. Clearly things being the right size don't matter that much to me since I loved dolls with huge heads and teeny tiny feet and hands I just want to sort of "set a scene" for them to be in instead of just sitting in a chair.

I know that you don't care for Clay that much, I just really thought the CD cover was beautiful. I can tell you Clay boards are going NUTS over it! Too funny!


ETA: I won the table and chairs! $17 shipped but I had the money in my balance and I really wanted the set. Now I will have 4 white wicker chairs and the matching white wicker table. I am trying to get a set of dishes now from a seller in NYC. I can find dishes in China, but I am getting so tired of waiting weeks for things from China.

Congrats on winning the table! Sounds like it was a great deal! Those pots of milk pouring into the cups is going to be so cute! You will be able to do sidewalk cafe scenes now! oooo-la-la!

Oh what a great idea!! I plan to have it all set up in my office, but in the spring I can set it up outside as an outside cafe for photos! Thanks for the idea!

I have bids on two sets of dishes in case I don't win one I might win the other. I really look forward to getting cute things like this for more settings. Maybe I will get food for a backyard BBQ!

Man we got lucky! Many towns within an hour of ours got 6 to 11 inches of heavy snow and lots of accidents! We have had hardly anything. I am so thankful for that. The thought of dealing with 11 inches again this year would just be too much!! Maybe we will be snow free now until next winter! I heard Milwaukee got a foot. Friends of ours left last night to drive to Minnesota. Good thing they didn't wait and leave this morning! They are taking their kids to Mall of America.

ETA: I won both sets of dishes!! This is the set I just HAD to have! It looks like Depression Glass - which I collect and have a lot of!



Here is the other set! I got this one nice and cheap!

I love Depression glass! That is excellent! Now you are all set to have your homecoming Garden Party for Milo!!!!!!

So glad you got lucky for a change on the weather! Maybe the curse of winter is almost over!

You love Depression Glass too? I have so many beautiful pieces! We used to go antiquing with my folks all the time and on vacation too! I now have more than I can display so I have stopped collecting it. My folks have even more than we do and when they are both gone I will have all of theirs too. I will need to have Rob maybe put some shelves on the walls somewhere in the kitchen or dinning room so I can display more of it. I use serving pieces of it on holidays or when we have parties.

Yes, Milo will be coming home to girlie girls and garden parties! He will be itching for me to get him some pizza and burgers I am sure! By summer I will need to get some BBQ re-ments!

Yes, I could not believe the local news when I saw how many areas got hammered! It did snow very hard for awhile and stuck on all the grass and trees, but melted on the roads right away. So very happy we were not ones out snow blowing 11 inches!!

ETA: Just saw a poster on a Clay board who lives in Wisconsin and they got 14 inches!! Holy crap!

Anyway, I just bought the best pizza set re-ment on ebay! It is a whole pizza on a cutting board with a pizza cutter, chopping board with veggies and a knife and salt and pepper shakers!

It's a US seller. He has a huge selection of re-ments/dishes - some of the best stuff I have seen - and he has a ton of it BIN! His shipping rates are very reasonable too! I bookmarked the site. He also has a great set for grilling but I need to hold off on that one until summer

We will be leaving soon to visit my folks and have chili lunch there. Also run a few errands so I will gone most of the day and early evening.

Hope you have a wonderful day! Hope you have beautiful weather to run with Cole and ride your horses!

Hope you have a good day! I have been busy enjoying my dolls and taking more photos... Gah...I love them all. I know you already love your Dollzone boy to pieces. I can't wait for you to get him...you are going to be beside yourself!

The pizza rement sounds really cute! I need to go get busy and ride a few of my horses. They and I are both out of shape for riding! One of my husbands sisters is coming for a visit next weekend so we will be starting the cleaning extravaganza this weekend and will be continuing it thoughout the week! I hate cleaning.

Will stop by to post a few of my fav photos from today. My goal was to take a few shots of the three dolls together..but then one thing led to another and i wound up taking lots more photos than I intended to!

What color Depression glass do you collect? I almost started to collect the amber andthe cobalt blue, and was interested in the silver depression glass (can't remember the name!), but never did. I got into the American Art pottery and old silver plate stuff instead.

Anyway...here are some highlights of my photoshoot today.





The brown boots I got for Mo fit too!

Hi!

We just got in and I had to jump on here. Can't stay long - got stuff to do.

First off - beautiful pix as always! I am so glad that Mo's boots fit! That is the best close-up of Val yet! What size eyelashes to you get for your dolls?

When we got home and checked the mail there was good news and bad news. The good was the first wig I ordered for Milo from Featherfall came! It is very nice. Not as sliky as the Monique Gold wigs, but it is a nice shape and a pretty golden blonde color. The bad news - the wig I have been waiting for from Cool Kat, the multi toned long straight blonde wig that I have been waiting for since March 6th came. Sort of. It came registered mail and no one was here to sign. The one stinking day of the week that no one is home and it comes. They say I can go pick it up at the P.O. on the 25th after 11:00 AM Why Tues? Why not Monday? I am going to call Monday morning and see if we can go get it then. I have been dying to see that one on Ianna and Shyla. Oh well, what can you?

The snow yesterday was so weird. My folks only live 15 mins away and they got at least 2 inches compared to our dusting. We were so surprised.

The chili was great. Justin met us there. It was a nice visit. My Dad was not awake for most of it, but we did get to talk to him a little. My Mom said they had a really rough night. The nurses said he could have both the morphine and the anti-anxity pills. She said during the night he was buzzing for her every 30 mins. and making no sense - at one point he said to her, pointing to his chest, "Get all this food off of me! I can't eat all this food!" There was nothing on his chest. Then he buzzed her again and asked for his glasses so he could read the stuff in the big box that came. There was no big box Then he called her to wash the peanut butter off of him. He hasn't had PB in ages. So we are thinking just a wee bit too much meds or something. Kinda scary though.

I do not collect a particular color or pattern. I collected anything I saw that I liked. I have more gold pieces than any other color, next would be pink, amber then green, a couple yellow, a couple purple. I mostly have the sugar and creamers. I bet I have 15 sets or more of those. My fave pieces are a gorgeous amber fruit basket, and a beautiful gold pitcher that I also have the matching platter, sugar and creamer and candy dish. I have the yellow pear sugar and creamer that is gorgeous too. I have two ruby red serving dishes that I just love! I have a black and white sugar and creamer with etched flowers that I think is stunning! I have a few glasses and one set of candle holders. I think that's it.

The pizza re-ment looks great. Yesterday when I ordered two sets from DDE I was bummed because there was this really pretty fruit basket with a bow and fruit inside of it. I really wanted to have that as something to set on the center of the table at various times. It was out of stock at DDE and I just could not find it yesterday on ebay. So today right before left, while Rob was in the shower, I was determined to try and find it and I DID! A site in Taipei had one in stock and it was BIN and extremely reasonable shipping compared to some of the other overseas sites. I bought it. I got home and got an email that she was preparing to ship it. Also that DDE shipped the ones I ordered yesterday out today. So lots of fun little goodies are on their way! I am down to $5 in my PP balance, so the spending is over for awhile. I don't think any of the rest of my stuff is going to sell at this point. Looks like Anisa is staying because I am not reducing her price again. She will just have to hang out with the Hestias

So one shelf will have Clay and Aletta, one will have Anisa with Winda, Isis and Rhian, and all the BJDs will hang-out on the table under the shelves. It should look pretty cute. Pretty soon I will have enough re-ments for them all to have something to eat!!

Pizza Night!


Fruit Basket.


Well, on to laundry, vacuuming and floor washing!

That pizza looks good enough to eat! I can see whay you wanted the fruit basket...it is lovely!

Glad you had a good visit with your folks. It does sound like your Dad got a tad too much medication or is at the next stage of the process when they start hallucinating. If things are progressing to this stage..his time left is very short. I know you are pretty much prepared now that it could be anytime...

Sounds like you have a very cool, eclectic depression glass collection!
Someday I want to find some cool amber big wine goblets.
Here is a mercury glass ball I would love to have for Mo. It is 5 inches high with the stand so it must be tiny...too bad it is so expensive.


I got some really, really good close-ups of Val...I agree some of the best evah! Thanks for saying so! He is such a magical doll. I will never regret getting him that is for sure!

Well, I have to get back to cleaning myself...toilet scrubbing here I come!

Yes he is magical! I love his lips!

Have you tried this site for crystal balls?

http://www.crystalcove-gifts.com/index.asp

I hope to get one from there someday for Rhian and Isis. I couldn't afford a nice one from there at the time so I went with just a crystal to hold. I would love to get a little table and chairs for them to sit at on the shelf with a "real crystal ball" from this site. Awesome stuff!

Thanks for the link my laydee!What do you think would be the right size of Austrian crystal to be the right scale for our dolls? Dayummm, those are'nt cheap either are they?

I'm sorry...I did'nt answer your question about the lashes. I think I got my latest ones that were really nice from BJ's Babes Seeley Doll Studio that sells on Ebay.They were called "Lady Eye Lashes great for Fashion Dolls" Brown. They cost 2.00 + 2.25 shipping. They are the perfect size for MSD's I trimmed off a little, but they are the perfect scale.

You can really see the fine texture and color of the lashes in this photo...I love them! They are brown.

Well, they have various prices for the crystals and the stands. You can go from not too bad to Whoa!! How much? This is why I waited on getting anything from there. They have a cool stand that has "Hestia" butterflies that I thought would be perfect - someday.

Not sure on the size Maybe I could check on that tomorrow or Monday. I need to jump in the shower now.

Thanks for the info on the eyelashes. My girls are good, but I was wondering about Milo - just in case I think he needs some.

That is an awesome pic of Mo and her lashes do look amazing! I will be sure and look for those tomorrow if I get the chance.

Gotta go - talk to you tomorrow!

New chapter up! I must go fall into bed now...I won't be around early that is for sure! Happy Easter!

http://www.abjds.com/forum/showthread.php?p=43872#post43872

That is a wonderful chapter!! Your pix are so beautiful and the story so interesting!! I cannot wait to see what happens next! Do you know in your mind where you want it to go? Or does it just hit you while writing?

I won't have much time on the PC today either. Pretty soon it will be time to read the Sunday Trib, finish some housework, and start cooking dinner.

Have a very Happy Easter my friend! Hope your weather is better than ours. It will only be in the 30's today with some snow showers possible. The normal for this date is in the 50's. No getting to wear pretty springlike Easter dresses today! Oh - the good news is Eric doesn't have to work today after all! His boss thought he might have to work, but it was so slow yesterday he decided he won't need him today. So let's hope his boss doesn't change his mind. Poor Justin had to leave for work at 5:30 AM He will be home at noon but my guess is he will take a nap before dinner. Since Eric doesn't have to work we can eat at 4:00 instead of 3:00. Gives me an extra hour to gets things done
