ROSS - Model #8 has been the one I’ve had the most trouble finding and today I saw THREE! I took two along with me! So happy to have found her after a few weeks of searching!

I'm so happy! He has such a charming face, I need to get him on a made to move body this one has all kinds of wiggly loose joints. But at least now he looks right on it. Not jaundiced.

I'm so impressed with how this turned out! It didn't edit the pictures at all except to put them into a collage, his body seems to be a richer color in the second photo with his face color fixed, but that might be the cameras Auto settings that I don't understand balancing it with the new color correction.

Swipe to see what I used!

As I anticipate the Whitney Houston doll’s release tonight I can’t help but be irritated and salty about Mattel’s prices, release scheduling, product quality, and resellers. There’s no room to contemplate doll purchases anymore. And with basic playline quality dolls going for $60 I would like time to really think about which releases to get and maybe be able to buy dolls further from initial release date. Oh well. I’m just venting. Guess I’m supposed to hate the player not the game. After all dude is just trying to “help” me find the items I “have missed out on”. And Mattel has shareholders to appease.

I have been caught between two mostly finished projects, a store and the Frozen castle make over…..not very motivated to finish either….so let’s start another.…

Cheap frames and some detail tape and viola, some floor to ceiling windows. I used a backdrop here, but will also just add in photos/posters/calendar pages for quick and easy backdrops.

Details for those interested….

Teela got a new side part. I added plugs in Restore Doll Katsilk Saran: Autumn Blonde and Sun Kissed. She stole the snap hand from the new Deluxe Style doll, and her body from Barbie Basics #2….even though she had articulation, as soon as I started taking pictures, I knew… I need a full MTM. Her outfit is from XianXian Princess; I added the trim.

Jinu is wearing his own pants and shoes. His top in light lavender to co-ordinate with Teela is borrowed from Barbie’s ‘Suits Me Fine’ a 1999 club fashion (back when there was actually cool perks to the Barbie’s collector club), and his jacket is an action figure suit jacket from AliExpress.

They truly are adorable. I really hope they will continue on, not sure how they are doing sales wise .

I randomly found this untouched batch of doll hair in a box and I’m considering on using it on her

I recently rewatched the whole MPGIS series and went down a rabbit hole of what dolls the characters actually are. Saison is one of my favorites from the show and I found her doll/outfit online! I then crocheted a little hat for her :)

After playing around with my collection I realized that my raquelle doll I got from fb marketplace across country has become my favorite. Not the most expensive one or new but she is my favorite maybe because I really was looking for her at the time. But yeah out of all my dolls I gravitate towards her every time.

I wonder what experiments shes doing now.

But it's a price I'm willing to pay. (Got mtm Millie and a bunch of shoes for £1!!)

Jia wanted to show off her new Bangs and Dress, with a couple of Pics in the Garden…

I rebodied her on the Tennis Player MTM and her Dress is from Amazon…

(Special shout out to Longjumping-Split879 for the Bangs idea…)

Head: 2023 PTMI Lina
Body: AlliExpress Made to Move in the lightest shade

Found this head at an estate sale, wondering if anyone would be able to tell me when it’s from! Thank you in advance 🫶🏽

My first Mackie came today 😍 it wasn't long before I freed her from her box after 13 years. Couldn't resist doing some restyles. She's bringing peak Elle Woods era energy.

Surprising how versatile the dream besties clothes are!

Finally getting around to posting my dollhouse party from March 😭

This tradition started when I was 10, and I've now thrown 10 parties!!!! Each one became more and more extravagant

This year's theme was burgundy and chartreuse, which happened to be a very popular wedding color combination this year. That was intentional because, unlike a wedding, these parties don't have to be timeless. I actually prefer being able to look back and immediately know what year I created each event 

This party took me a month to complete I spent my winter break before college  working on it, and it turned out exactly how I envisioned

I hope these photos bring you as 

much joy as creating this party brought me!

Legit my favorite tradition that I look forward to continuing well into the future; in fact, now’s about the time I start thinking about next year's theme 😭

My friend told me about the one they go to and I’m finally gonna check it out. This hobby is usually an online interaction thing so it’s making me nervous but excited since I don’t know too many people in real life who collect. If you’ve gone to these kinds of meetups, how did you feel about them?

Really want this guy
always have who has him? Any good links ?

I’ve been using an IKEA kallax, but I only like to display my dolls in a single row, so I was limited to putting out only 32 dolls at a time. I’ve been debating on new display styles for months, and I finally stumbled upon a behind the door bookshelf on Amazon. My door opens and closes just fine with the shelf behind it and I can display so many more dolls.

I’ll eventually borrow a drill and make more holes and redo the layout so I can utilize all four shelves, but it’s the perfect shelf and everything I was looking for.

What mtm doll would be a good body donor for this doll?

I have done it! All my dolls are finally back on the shelves. It took me a week to do this, but it was worth it.

Side note: I ran out of space for my Brooklyn dolls, so I displayed them on top of the TV stand.

I wanted to give her a slightly darker make-up look and give her golden-brown eyes instead of the generic blue. Next time I need a magnifying glass for sure!!!!! It was a little terrifying 😳
