In a number of months I will have a lovely ronin, Jin, in the house. Yay! :) 

 

Uh-oh

Well I have a dilemma. I just realized a Saint would be the absolute perfect sculpt/body for Jin from Samurai Champloo. Google it if you must, but the calm, confident smoldering gaze and lovely slanted cheekbones & chin are almost identical.

Option #1: Request Dollshe to change my order from a Bernard to a Saint. I'm pretty sure it's possible since I'm so far down the list, but I've had the Bernard's character in my head for several years and I don't really want to give Isidore up.

Option #2: Paint and sell two Notdoll heads, and on one with the body I could try my hand at sanding/blushing the body and whip up a quick outfit for a kind of OOAK type thing, and try to sell her on eBay. Then with that money try and buy a Saint secondhand, but then he will not be half off the original price. ;n;

Also, puppy update time! His teeth have been coming in for a little while, and he can eat food on his own! The first full night's sleep I got after getting him was the best sleep EVER.

It's official!

Just placed my order at Notdoll Lab before I ate dinner. I chose Ligaya, Belladonna & Argeia. The deal was way too good to pass up, and I plan to do the faceup for all of them, and sell the two which I'm least in love with which will be difficult, but I originally liked Ligaya the most. We'll see after she (they?) arrive. I have no character for her, but she will be more in scale with my Bernard. Speaking of him, I bet my big lady will be here before he does. XD

Woe is meeeeeee

Why oh why would NDLC have an awesome discount after I told myself I wouldn't buy one since they are discontinued, but now they're at like half off with a body, three heads, and free shipping?

Short Hiatus

(Not that anybody reads this, but I thought I'd share)

I am fostering a three week old puppy which means very frequent bottle feeding sessions, so I am going to be exhausted and busy for the next several weeks. ;n; I will update when I can, but that probably won't happen very much.

He is adorable, though, so I'll try to get a decent photo at some point. Thankfully I've found him a good home whenever he is weaned, so there is a light at the end of the sleep-deprived tunnel! XD

This is hopeless

I have no printer so I have to try and sketch patterns in the right scale which so far has not worked out. It also sucks because I have no idea where all my pins are, as well as my seam ripper, and having an iron to press everything would be helpful. I also don't have buttons, snaps, or velcro to finish anything with.

This is why doll clothes are expensive gahhhhhhh D:<

Sweet

Found a wig that is pretty similar to what I am looking for. :) Now if only my school refund would hurry up...

We're supposed to be getting more bad weather too, so I might try my hand at a bit more sewing sometimes this week.
