A Hiatus, Sort of

My dear faithful followers *I stand poised at my grand balcony, doing my best Eva Peron wave*

Vita Plastica is going on hiatus! We found a lovely (1:1) house and I've got to pack up all my little friends and their homes. We're moving on to something bigger and better so just you wait and see what Grandville will have to offer. (Mostly to me, but it will offer stuff to you too!)

When I was in 8th grade, I went with my aunt to buy some wine (I stayed in the car) and I saw my French teacher, no doubt buying some excellent vintage. I was stunned. Sure I know teachers are people. But some part of me was shaken to see her outside of school. Like, she exists outside of the school compartment of my brain?

Anyway that's how I feel whenever you guys have a non-doll post. Like, they exist outside of doll world? In fact, the 3 year old in me wonders if you all are not made of vinyl and resin. And here I am being a real flesh person.

But this hiatus is only about doll related craft work. I'll still be here checking out your blogs, hanging out on the forums, etc. Now I'll have a little time to sort through the photos I take here and there. Maybe I can string them into the story that runs in my head.

Anyway, moving to me fills me with the same feeling I get when I buy a new doll or at Christmas. I get to pack and organize, then I go to a new home and open boxes of presents. Okay so they're boxes of my own stuff, but I like my stuff!

Well, off to obsess about the perfect move. I live to organize, so this should be fun!

smooches!

  3. Yes Dani, there is a Santa Claus...and we are real people too! :P LOL You're so fun, and quirky that I'm really glad you fell into the 1:6 world with the rest of us! :D :D

    About the move----That is FREAKIN AWESOME! I'm so glad you've had the luck to find a home! Yay! Congratulations!

    *We just got called today by the real estate agent we're listing with (we haven't even signed the contract yet--and she has someone interested--so maybe we'll be moving soon too!*

  5. Congratulations on your new home!! Your move to a bigger place means more fun and play for/with your little people.

  6. Congratulations! I've never seen someone so excited about moving and organizing! I have an idea. Why don't you video journal you organizing at least the doll area. That would give all your fans some wonderful ideas. It would also save on all the airplane tickets needed to come to each of our homes. You have kids? Who knew?

  7. Nope, no new place yet--we're mostly window shopping at this point since trans-atlantic home buying just seems insane! ;P We're selling here, getting mark's visa and then home to stay with friends while we look & figure out where we're gonna transplant to!

    LMAO @ "Woohoo for doll space. Oh and yeah for my kids, whatever. hee."
    Exactly!

  8. Thanks all. So you're coming back to the States Erica?! That's gotta be a total pain. Wishing you the best of luck and selfishly hoping you'll end up on the East coast!

    Thanks Vanessa, I was just thinking about that this morning! I might do the packing process too. I'm a sucker for a makeover!

    I do manage to mention the non-plastic children once in a while, but I try to keep this hobby and blog all to myself. It doesn't always work.

  9. Oh yes! I've been looking forward to it for the last 4 years! And yes, it's gotta be East Coast all the way baybeeeeeeeee!
    (we're planning on NH but you never know what might happen!) ;)
    And yep. It's going to take a lot of coordination & patience (and chocolate) to get it done...but it will! *power of positive thinking!* :D

  10. OMG - I like moving too!! Everyone talks about how stressful it is...it's not easy but it does have the benefits you mention.

  11. Oh you're moving, well don't stay away too long because I will really miss you! I'm with Vanessa, please keep a video journal.

    Have fun packing!

  12. Yay! This will be sort of a happy hiatus! :) Way to go on your new home, that's so exciting. Good luck with getting settle in and organized and I hope you still get to keep your doll room. :) Definitely keep us posted and like EbonyNicole says, don't stay away too long.

  13. Yeah I think for me stress is something that is out of my control. So the stressful part of moving for me is tied up in other people and how they can affect the process.

    I definitely want to do the video journal. I have an idea about how to do it. I'll blog about it soon.

Grandville Summer Festival!

Hello doll friends, First up, I gotta show you this. My 4 year old was playing with my Barbie cast-offs and set up this little scene. (That yellow thing on the table is a TV shaped eraser.) Dig the lamp she made with a wedding cake and the pole from maybe a Barbie dress form? Adorbs. Anyway, this weather (raining pretty much daily for the last month or so) has wrecked my spray painting plans. Much of the royal storyline rests on this painting project. So for now I decided to continue the other stories I have going. Enjoy: "Ho-ly crap, what on earth are you wearing?" "Aw, Sook, I feel bad enough."   "Seriously. You are wearing khakis. You look cray cray. You're like somebody's mom right now. Please explain this situation." "My boss said my outfit was too sexy so I had to borrow something from Le Skater Dork over there at the cafe. Jeez, now I owe her one. Oh crap Channel 1 News is here."   "Thanks John. Lavita

Zee Gypsies!

I'm home today, the kids are at school (half day), so I decided to take some pictures with my little window of time. I rarely show the gypsies and one of you guys requested it, so here they are! "Hello, I am Carmen Kirpachi. Welcome to our home." "This is my husband Milosh." "Hallo."  "This is my brother, Franco. While his gaje girlfriend Josephine is in Paris, he's spending a lot more time with us." "Excuse me, I have to put some more wood in the stove so I can get dinner started." "My goat stew is Milosh's favorite but we need to get the pot hot first." "This is my living area, also known as Franco's bedroom. But we don't mind. The Romany love having family around." "Milosh says I drive like a fugitive so he doesn't let me drive very often." "But sometimes I put a glamour on him and he forgets how much he hates my driving." "

Introducing Nymeria and the Alurium Vaccarra

Ever have a couple of days off Facebook and though you wonder what happened to your friends over the long weekend, you can help feeling a little peaceful? That's how I feel in my week of staying off the blogs and forums and various sites. But I missed a lot! So many cool posts! It's going to take a while to dig myself out. One must wonder, did my creative spurt have something to do with not being all over the web looking at what everyone else is doing? Anyway let's get to it. So on my birthday, my three Stardolls arrived! Aside from the outfit, that Paris one was not cute. I dunno, she's too boring looking. But Iris was THRILLED that she got a new, dressed doll. Well for a few minutes anyway. Did you know that they can't bend their legs? Like they can't sit down? Terrible. Anyway, the other two were great! Inspiring. Meet Valentina. A Columbiana who restores classic cars. She was very happy with a Liv body. She might be Nadia's next girlfriend, w
