…for this summer, probably. And what a sweaty one it was! I’m getting so fed up with this heat >_< Luckily all went well, and we had a very nice time. Except that near us a young gentleman decided it would be great idea to go swim in the park's small pool - butt naked. Ahh, Finnish people and alcohol, always the best combination...not.

I didn't photograph this fine gentleman whose mom would be proud, though. I concentrated on dolls

Because now it’s two of them – a photoshoot of Unni and Enne. The shoot features some artworks I’ve done with the kids of our art courses <3 I used my new reflector in the setup and I’m very happy how it brought up the colours!

“What’s this?”

So we participated in Den of Angels’ Pukifee Summer Swap – and lo and behold, got so much cute stuff that I nearly fell on my butt Thank you, Amanda and Casper, for well-thought and beautiful gifts <3 I took some photos of Enne opening the package.

She’d fit in there herself many times ;D

This must be my most random post title ever…

But Enne got herself some supercute bear shoes from Freshvanilla on Etsy <3 She’s so precious!

I visited a hanami party with some friends today in Roihuvuori, Helsinki. We had dolls with us, of course, here are some shots I took. Sadly you cannot see the park muchly from them, it was quite awesome atmosphere but I was quite lazy. Maybe the next time?

I had Enne and Niko with me. Sadly I forgot Niko’s wig home so he won’t be in the photos How stupid can you be?

Lots of going in real life now, so I’ll probably be bit more quiet in the dolly world now. Don’t worry, BJDs are more than a hobby, sort of “way of life” to me these days :3 I have ideas for different stories and photoshoots, just need time and inspiration…

Anyway, I wanted to show the fantastic souvenirs my hubby brought me from London <3 Miniature Shakespeare’s plays, and my favourite ones, even! Yes, they include the text of the play too I’m very happy, not just because these are awesome but also because they were given to me by my most important person. This must mean he doesn’t think I’m a complete lunatic, at least hopefully

What’s this “children of resin”? Well, it’s of course Hartsilapset, our Finnish BJD community/forum! With little over 1600 members, we’re the largest (okay, maybe also the only one ;P) national BJD forum, and the place where I spend a great deal of my daily internet time, especially in our IRC chat Anyway, the community turned 5 years old this April, and we had a little party to celebrate that in Helsinki this Saturday.

Okay, I cheated. With about 50 participants and 66 dolls, it wasn’t little. I was supposed to be the “official” photographer, but sadly, I kind got stuck in group activities/talking stupid stuff/making heaps of coffee/DRINKING heaps of coffee. Anyway, here’s my little stash of meetup photos:

Enne, did you choose the fabric we should use on your new dress? Enne?
Enne: “Zzz-derp-zzz-derp…”

Okay, she isn’t any help when she’s just sleeping in my cotton quilt box, but damn isn’t she the cutest thing ever <3

(Oh, and I think we’ll choose the fabric with small pink stripes, just because I seem to have gotten a small obsession with stripes and polkadots lately ;3 You’ll see the next time I update my sewings, oh boy…)

My little ones are already ready for our Finnish BJD forum’s b-day party! Outfits by me, it was really relaxing to sew on all the beads on Hilde’s dress <3 It's hard to believe even our forum is already five years old...if I remember correctly, I came in when the forum was already one year old, so in the summer, it's Aegis' (my first BJD) 4th birthday! Time sure flies. I maybe need to make a big post and go through all the changes there has been, lots of dolls have come and gone during these four years. I'm happy though that no matter what, Aegis is still here, my special little boy <3 And most of the characters I've come up with still remain.

Anyway, today is my official "do-absolutely-nothing-useful"-day! Although I've kinda failed it already since I've done some kanzashi flowers for my dolls and I’ve written some texts as well…but no more useful and productive stuff! I think I’ll just make some more coffee and go and finish Ace attorney Investigations, I’m already at the last case. I really love this game :3

Happy easter!

Been a little while, hasn’t it? I just haven’t had much to blog about…

• Most of my “dolly” time has gone for setupping an Etsy store and no, no link yet since I haven’t got anything for sale….yet ;D I’m preparing a little collection of Pukifee/Lati and maybe YO-SD-stuff there and will definitely spam you with the link once it’s ‘officially’ launched. So far Etsy seems good and easy to use, I hope it works out well :3
• Two headless pinky white female doll bodies on my shelf…welcome to the horror cabinet!
• Waiting for our Leeke order, I got two wigs, a royal cadet blue one for uncle K and one in sakura pink for Hilde. I really wish Leeke would sell also wigs in 5.5 size since Enne would surely look fantastic in their green shades ;_; Come on, Leeke, something for Pukifees and Latis too, please?
• Also waiting for these Dollheart shoes since, well, oops, stripes, heels, roses, pink, Meital, oh no, must get…you know, the usual story. I’ve noticed I’ve become quite picky with the doll shoes I’m interested in, no more basic high-heeled pumps or sneakears. I want all kinds of funny details, patterns, decorations and such – and in Meital’s case, the more frill, beads, lace and stuff, the better ;D Luckily – or unfortunately for my wallet – there is always Dollheart who usually hits right at the spot with their designs.
• But not always. I have no idea how something with so much elements I love – stripes, lace, cameos, feathers – can just look so…no. Okay, maybe it’s the hotpants and fishnet stockings on a male doll, I admit. I could buy the set though and split it between my girls, Morri would get the hotpants, stockings and all the other stuff would go to Meital
