Tour of Your Doll World

Image
By
I had an idea. Vanessa from Van's Doll Treasures suggested that I do a video of my house move/doll reorganization project.

Okay I'm not a Christian or a housewife but I am a sucker for super conservative Christian stay at home mommy blogs! The ones that bake their own bread and make kefir and home school their kids? Love them!

Here's an example. This is Candy. Poor thing is always disappearing from the blogosphere because she gets really harassed and stalked. Her perfection really pisses people off. Her insane organization and natural cleaning products have changed my household for life.

Anyway if you look on the left frame she encourages the other Christian Homemaker bloggers to do a tour of their homes. I'm come from a tribe of home-lookers. We want to view homes even if we're not looking for a home. We're dreamers. So I love this feature.

So what if we do this? Not our homes but our doll spaces. Would you guys join me?

The house is not definite yet (it is in my heart), but even WHEN everything goes through it won't be for another 2 weeks. I'll do a post then and ask you to do it as well. I think I'll do a Before and an After. I'll show you how I *cough* organize my doll world. Hey look, I said I love to organize. I didn't tell you I had the capacity to STAY organized. Because I don't.

So whaddya think? Will you be joining me? Will you give me permission to put the link on my blog like Candy?

    Hahahaha..not gonna happen on my end. I have a loooooonnnnnng way to go before I get a doll space. I hope to get it partly done while I'm at home but NO VIDEO, PICTURES are coming from me other than the mess on my page. Love ya like a play cousin but this mess will not be televised.

    I will watch yours and are you sure this Candy is for real? No disrespect but even the mighty MS had to admit she was getting help :O)

    hahah! You are killin' me! Who is the mighty MS? I appreciate your honesty! I did see your doll space the other day. No judgment!

    I think Candy has a moment by moment breakdown of what she does all day. I want so much to believe it!

    Martha Stewart is the might MS..LOL. I only mean that in my disorder of non-organization that those who can do this have my utmost respect. I aspire to be at a happy medium of organization. I was following the Fly Lady who had me start with 15 mins and get the time higher everytime to organize and clean your spaces.

    I'm thankful I'm not a hoarder and can let things go. I may post a pic or 2 of my progress. That before and after is a beautiful thing :O)

    Dani, darling, I suggested you do it, so those of us who don't get the same thrill from organizing that you do, could perhaps benefit from your joy of doing it. I never said that we would be doing it. Technically, my doll space is not that bad. If I could just figure out how to organize my fabrics in a way that I could still have easy access to them, I would be almost completely organized. My other doll area, my basement, needs to be cleaned and rearranged. My friend had to keep some house stuff down there for the past 7 months or so. They were just retrieved last week, so I can get that space back in order. But if I take time out to organize those 2 spaces so they can be filmed, that will take away from my videos, my furniture, and delay the opening of my food store. Ummmm, not going to happen. Great idea though. I hope you get some takers. That would be really nice to see. Thanks for the shout out!

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-...

[in that spongebob narrator voice] Ten Years Later

By
 Well friends, it's been 10 years!  I'm not sure if any of my older friends and followers still blog or still read blogs.  I've been in the BJD hobby all this time a while it was satisfying and helped me to grow a lot as a dioramist, the call of the 1/6 scale dolls called back to me.   It was hard to make stories for BJDs because of the limited number of characters and sets.  While I no longer have a town to make stories with, nor (hardly) any of my original dolls, my new collection continues to grow and some of them are just itching to tell you all about themselves.  But these heauxs don't even have names except for two.  So lemme get on that... Returning to this hobby feels a bit lonely. My doll community was here in the blogosphere, my BJD community was through youtube and Facebook. Where are you, racy playscale collectors?  Let's get back together!  Instagram feels unsuitable for my needs. I'll see if I can direct traffic here. Who k...

The Giveaway! And more.

You guys, let's talk. After I set up Grandville in the new house, I was sort of bored. I liked getting everyone unpacked but I really didn't feel like telling my stories, posing dolls, finding outfits for them. I didn't know where to take this doll thing next. And since my doll break at the end of last year, I've filled up my evenings with other things, especially Facebook where I remember I'm a writer again (in short blurbs). But what I don't feel like writing, are doll stories. I was at this doll crossroads, and already donating and trading away some good stuff when I became suddenly, surprisingly aware that I was (am) pregnant! How did this happen? Well I have a few ideas. I'm 37, I had been debating whether to have another. Sometimes, I swear, I'd be sitting with the girls and think I'm hearing a 3rd kid crying in the background. So that choice was made for me I'm very happy about it (and terrified). And the choice about dolls was made ...
