...and seven months later...

I'm not so good at this blogging seeing as this is only the second post this year :(  I was never any good at keeping a diary so it didn't bode well.
Anyway, homelife is about the same as ever, the kids are growing up, Jack's just started copying everything I say which is rather funny and Amber has thoroughly impressed me with how brave she is this last week.  She had to have 2 injections to catch up on her immunisations and managed not to cry and then a few days later she had to have an injection and have her first baby tooth out at the dentist.  The new one was coming through but the baby tooth wasn't budging so the adult one was growing in the wrong place.  I was so proud of her, she just let him do it even though she was scared :')  They gave her a bouncy ball for it and Jack was given one too - so that made her day - and of course the tooth fairy was ever so generous knowing she'd been through so much ;)
I've had a few changes on the doll front.  In february I finally got my dream doll...well his head anyway!!  The first doll I ever fell in love with was an Elfdoll Red, and there was a head for sale with the original faceup and he was at just the right price at the right time - it must have been fate!  So he came home and his name is Sam.  He is definitely my favourite and I kind of wish I'd saved up and bought him back then - but never mind, he's here now.
I've sold a few dolls this year and am still selling some now - I'm contemplating selling my Volks Nono at the moment, I want to get Sam his body and selling Nono would pay for that.
I've also had a few other newbies, all from trades.  I have a bobobie isabella (on a bei body) who still has no name!  (incidentally my miyou is now called Boo as someone at the meet I went to in January said she looked like her from monster's ink - and she does - and it stuck).  I also have Jesse, who is an IOS Asyd head, and Icari who is an Infinitidoll Reina head.  ooh nearly forgot my newest who was a birthday present - a Planetdoll Riz who also has no name yet!  Jesse and Icari are characters in the book I'm writing and I've also added Sam into it now too!
As part of a trade Fly (my soah hybrid) had some restorative mods and a face up and looks amazing!

Also I recently sent Red (my dollzone yuu) for a new faceup and he's looking fantastic too!  I need to do a photoshoot with him with his new faceup soon.
That's about it for now, hopefully it won't be half a year until I write again!

eek where did the time go??

Well, first blog of the new year.  Both Amber and Jack had chickenpox over christmas and new year so we didn't get out much.  I've not done that much with my dollies either.  I made Red my dollzone yuu a pair of felt boots as I'm going to my first meet next sunday and I couldn't take him barefoot.  I'm in the process of attempting to make my doll family miyou (who still has no name) a dress for said meet.  In fact I should be doing that now instead of being on here!
I did take pictures in the snow for a small photostory but as my miyou has no name yet I can't post it :(  I wish she'd hurry up and let me know what it is!  I'm liking Florence at the minute but I'm not sure it's her.
Ok I've managed to make myself feel guilty and now need to go and work on the dress!  Might even get to bed at a decent time tonight...not...
