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.

      Thanks Sergio! I miss you too. And I miss those dolls. Hanna needs to return from Sweden and cause some trouble!

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 ...
