Shoe Addict!: A Tale of Empty Pockets

Paul Zhangby Boots and Gift Earrings

I haven't posted in a while and I wanted to show off some of the new items I've gotten in the mail for my dollies!! 

I've been on a shoe spree and the shoes pictured only mark the beginning.

The are boots made by Paul Zhangby on Ebay for 22" Tonner dolls and MSDs.

As you can see, I couldn't decide between the pink and the mint ones so I decided to get them both. (LOL)

I think they look wonderful and they came with a lovely pair of (free!) earrings that I will probably turn into pendants or hair-clips for my girl.

I also purchased these cute little loafers from MyBayer2008 (who ships incredibly fast :O).  

Ugly picture of cute shoes.

  I think they are really adorable. Also, they work really well with                                   both boys and girls, which is a definite plus.

Lastly, I did a bad thing and hopped on a GO that is being run by MissFlynn

(http://bjdgrouporders.tumblr.com/) and I must say that I have completely lost my mind.

I spent hours compiling a list of cute shoes that I wanted for my soon-to-be re-shelled Mihwa and so far I have about 9 pairs of shoes set to order.

Crazy times!

Hopefully, that order goes well and I'll have lots of cute, new shoes to show off in the near future.

A New Do...

Servin' up some wonky eyed realness.

A made a new wig for my boy last night.

It needs some work,but I like it a lot.

I really love the waves. :O

Everything is a work in progress for him at the moment. 

His new face-up isn't completed because I ran out of sealant. 

The jeans I was making for him still don't have a waistband 

because my sewing machine needs oil. 

Grrrrrrrr 

Also, I got some new brown eyes for him from 'Mybayer2008' on ebay a couple of weeks ago.

They are his first 10mm eyes. The eyes he had in before were 8mm eyes that came with 'MyDolling HeeAh' and they were very gappy. These new eyes a very nice looking, but I've been have a super hard time positioning them the way I want them, 

But hey they were only about $7 so I can't really complain that much.

Dreams Do Come True

Ahhhhhh! I'm so happy right now.

Last night, I had a dream that I found some amazing things at the thrift store. So of course I had to make a trip there today. And tada! I found a brass frame for my kids bed for only $5. I seriously have been looking for one of these for a few years now, but everytime I found one it was either too narrow or too expensive. 

It does have a couple of issues, but those can be easily fixed.

Overall I think it was an awesome find!

Almost There...

All of the dye has been removed.

Now I just have to finish her face-up.
And maybe make her an actual outfit.  :O

Dolly Maintenance Weekend!

Left: The dyed pieces  Right: Feet, after dye removal

This weekend has become has official become a 'Maintenance Weekend' for my dollies.

After much consideration, (not really), I decided to remove the dye from 'Mydolling HeeAh'.
She and Miilo were originally set to be brother and sister, so they were dyed the same colour, but I've decided to re-shell that character,

I began soaking her in Winsor & Newton brush cleaner yesterday afternoon and she's looking good so far.
Next, I plan on cleaning and restringing Miilo's body. I used Citadel Purity spray from Games Workshop to seal his body and that was a mistake. It looks as if he was sunburned or something. It started peeling EVERYWHERE!

Sadly, that means I will have to redo his face-up too.

It'll all be worth it in the end though.

I can't wait to show HeeAh after her transformation!

With Love...

A tiny pocket for you.

Dolly Finds and Purchases（●＾o＾●）

Over the weekend, I went on a dolly shopping extravaganza!

I found lots of cute things (on sale) for my MSDs and the doll room I am building for them.

I purchased waaay too much to show them all in one post so,

pictured, above, are some of my favorite finds.

The two mini potted plants, by Ashland, and the mini white mesh basket were found at Michael's

They cost from $0.50 to about $1.30 each.

Next, the pink trashcan and the sink. 

They were both found at Target and I love, LOVE these two items.

Trashcan/ Pencil Holder from Target

The pink trashcan is actually a decorative pencil holder, that is to be placed on a desk. It has two, functional, wheels, a handle and a lift-able lid. It is the perfect size for a short, stationary trashcan when compared to a MSD. However, it is a bit too short to photograph a tall MSD 'dragging' it. Maybe it would work better with a 30cm doll?

Passport Collection- Paperclip Holder from Target

                                       Finally, the sink.                                         The sink is a paperclip holder, by Passport Collection, that I found in the 'Giftables' section at Target. It's amazing and in my opinion it is perfectly scaled with MSD dolls. It was the most expensive item I purchased during my shopping extravaganza at $12.99. I think it was worth it.
