Patience is Overrated.

Hi folks,

I feel like one of the kids, "Are we in our new house yet?" when they know they are sitting in the middle of a maze of boxes in their OLD home.

Today is the first day of our new lease but I won't be fully in the home until the end of February. I'll be taking a week off at the end of the month, so hopefully Grandville will be up and running by then!

I can TASTE my new doll room and it's so frustrating to wait. We have to get the house and carpets professionally cleaned, we have to paint a couple of rooms before we even begin to move in. Ugh, the waiting!!!!

So let's make a list. Lists are good. In the new place, I'll have a doll room I can hang out in at night, so I can set up some permanent lights which means more photostories!

So here are the goals for the new house:


  • Photostories! Lots of stories that were in progress or just forgotten.
  • Less focus on big crafts and more focus on doll crafts, like reroots and stuff
  • Quality not quantity. Buying less stuff with better quality. 
  • More good clothing!
  • Men! Dating options for the Grandville lady are pathetic.
  • Action figures! This is mostly men, but I can't deny there are some hot ladies that need to come aboard.
  • Utilizing space more effectively. Some of you work out of a closet and it looks like you have a small mansion set up. 
  • No more buying things because of what they could look like if...
Okay that's it kids, I just had to get that out.

Also, I know I haven't been out there commenting, even on my very favorite blogs, but I've been reading or at least looking at pics. I haven't forgotten you all and I want to get back to supporting you soon!

Smooches!

    Yay, a NEW doll room! A dedicated one. Sounds like fun and a challenge. Looking forward to reading new stories and seeing more dioramas.

    Have fun!

    So lucky to have a room just reserved for your doll! With this, it's a blank slate to maybe even make more places in Grandville! Can't wait to see what their all up too (espicially that Hanna)!

      Well, it's smaller than than the previous incarnation, but that might be a good thing! And I can build things lower since the kids won't be in there. Potential!

    Lucky girl, I hope once you get settled we'll get a quick tour. So happy you guys found a place quickly, that's half the battle. Yes, men and nicer clothing...that's a must for me too. I've saved a few helpful DIY blogs on making my own sofas and such, so now I just need to put it to use. Well, good luck with your move, I'm sure everything will work out just fine and in not time at all, you'll be posting stories. :))

      I'll definitely give a tour as soon as I can. I'm taking a week off so I'll be able to dedicate a little time to getting it together.

    Hi DanI! Glad that you are returning. That is really cool that you get to start from scratch in creating your spaces. I have always had to move things around first before I can make any space even for a picture. Looking so forward to seeing what you come up with.

Introducing Ayumi

By
I haven't been feeling particularly inspired with stories in Grandville, but their plastic lives are being led, with or without my story telling. And I have to practice my photography so instead I'm going to do a Cliff Notes if you will, of what has been going on in Grandville and who all these new characters are. First up, Ayumi. I might give her a new name at some point. I hate keeping the Integrity name but sometimes it just happens. She is a Korean supermodel who uses her funds to support her research as an astrophysicist. She got her Ph.D. at 18. This is Ayumi's house. Well, one of them. This is Ayumi's boyfriend of 10 months, Raj Nirvana. He's a yoga instructor. They have a harmonious relationship. Still, she wonders about that girl Marie. They seem to do a lot of talking after his yoga class. Ayumi loves hanging out with her girls. Nothing quite as fun as a day of shopping. Claire sighs, "How weird to have a bank account. ...

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...

New Goodies!

But first, some news: Projects: Still working on the studio space for Remi and Bailey. The Hubs came in and voiced what was in my head, "So where is that kid supposed to sleep? That's messed up. There's no room for him?"  The last thing I wanted in Grandville is a kid's room. I don't want this rated R world changing into something wholesome. Buuut, if there is to be a custody battle for Julian, I have to make the case, right? So on top of the studio space, I'll build a little room for the brat to use. Maybe I'll give it a fun theme or something. Space or sci-fi or something that doesn't involve sports. I'm also working on a space backdrop for Nymeria and her sister. Then I can finally introduce you. I decided to go with a sort of cheesy 60's sci fi movie thing. That's what inspired the Alurium Vaccarra anyway. So, a sort of intentionally cartoony backdrop. The last project for now is my high school. I wanted it to be a three-...
