How was 2019?

With a distance to the year that went, I wanted to look back to the good moments and see what happened and how my doll collection changed during that year. Had of course some plans for a year ago - but never mind those. I will dust them of and see what I can do this year. Inspired by Xanadu’s post I wanted to share with you some happenings from 2019.

Who came home? 

In March a Hairdorables: Kat came home with me during a shopping tour in the city. She is a little cutie with a lot of hair, but I was not so pleased with her lips. Had and still have plans to do a repaint. She had a lot of props along in the package. Very nice. Later in the summer I got a gift from my daughters, another Hairdorables: Bella. She is adorable with her gloria and wings.

Well, in May I was browsing the shopping places, similar to eBay here in Sweden - Tradera. Made a search for BJD, just for fun. Found a Resinsoul Fei and just clicked on Buy now-button. Could not resist. And I have not regretted this at all. She is so beautiful with her sleepy eyes and elf ears.

And of course she borrows a wig. Now she has her own body, Esmé.

I got a new body for my floating head, Esmé, a Narsha Zihu. Finally she is complete, after some crazy tries with making one bad body out of clay. Have not given up on that, but need to think it over a bit more.

After a long wait, a very long wait, my little Catish Doll arrived on the doorstep. So beautiful and perfect. Had been waiting, paying of the layaway and now she is here with me. 

Moved to a new home.

My two Barbies moved too.

Who left?

During the last months of the year, I started to sell some things I had just to clean up and get some funds. My special edition Beatrix Potter Barbie got a new home, my curvy fashionista Maeve left the building and so did even some of my L.O.L dolls. Saved one, the first and the cutest. My huge collection of Smurfs got new homes, but I saved four, my favorites. Have plans to look through my stuff and let some other smaller things go.

Sewing and stuff?

Not so much would be the perfect description for this. I made one larger project, Asta, a Monster High doll turned into a blind bunny. Made some mistakes during a repaint and had to figure out something instead of putting the doll in a closet. Made some clothes for her and a story too. About a year ago, I repainted another Monster High, to a sleeping cutie. The last thing I made was a shoulder shawl for Csilla and Mai. Made even a crocheted hat for Mai. 

Waiting for?

Made an order in the beginning of December 2019 and it is still (well, have waited longer, so I should just chill) before shipping. So in 2020 there will be a doll arriving. Probably the only one if nothing extraordinary will happen. 

To be continued, as they say.
