Shopping!

I just finished a big deadline at work on Friday, so I decided to splurge a little on Emmanuel because he has the least clothes of all the dolls despite being my favorite. And what he does have doesn't fit very well given how tall/thin he is.  I've been taking him to work with me on occasion as well, which necessitates more clothes that fit.  Can't have him flashing the entire staff!

I had taken Sep to work for a week as my "motivation" towards the deadline, but I took Emmanuel in for the last two days to help give me that extra push.  Plus, my tech guy is fascinated/freaked out by my dolls and loves to come play with them. ;)  I made him signs each day as well to help motivate him, and it seemed to work!

I have to say though, it's rather difficult to easily buy for a big Dollshe boy.  There are a few things here and there, and some on the second-hand market, but it's not nearly as expansive as I would like.  I do eventually want to get him a suit, though that's a little further down the line (and will be an investment).  For now I purchased him a fun pair of boxers and two shirts from Velvet Tiger BJD on Etsy, who looks to have a lot of great 70CM bjd options.  I'm looking forward to him having some shirts that actually fit length-wise.

 I also picked up a wig, a pair of pants, some shoes, and some odds and ends (elastic, s-hooks) from Mint on Card as well.  I think the pants themselves will be a little big at the waist, but I'm looking to try to find a few new options for him.  I shall review everything when it gets here so others can have a good idea of what fits/doesn't fit/looks hopelessly ridiculous. (Hopefully not much of that happens!)

Random update time!

Updates here will be very sporadic unfortunately, as I do not have internet access and probably won't be getting it at my new place. But here is a little update of a few photos I've taken recently of the boys.  I decided to put Nowell back together because I really missed his creepy cute face.  He is my favorite msd sized doll by far, and he's been with me for four years now (as of November) which is just crazy.  So here's some shots of my little undead friend with some bones and bone jewelry I own.

And a bonus shot of Emmanuel I took on Thanksgiving.

Lovely Autumn Day

Introducing Sep!

Some shots of the boys outside today. It was a little overcast, but still a pretty fall day.

And! I won a contest that the illustrious charlietheskonk had put on to create some kind of art about the legendary Charlie. I wrote a little song, and she liked it so much I won!  She made these amazing cake necklaces and tiny cakes for me, and they are adorable!

Photo Dump!

I'm alive! Just completely wrapped up in my new job, so I haven't really done anything with my dolls lately. But here's a bunch of photos I've taken over the past few months, as I think today might be bjd day.  (Maybe? Possibly?)

And these are from when I took Emmanuel with me to Salem, Ma. :)

We had matching outfits to!

I finally dragged Emmanuel out on Sunday to take a few shots, and of course it rained. So I snapped a few inside instead. And I discovered an old ear cuff of mine that was too small for me is actually a perfect ring for him!

A mishmash of some pictures I took of Emmanuel this morning before the rain sapped all the light.  I was hoping to take him outside this week, but thus far it's been nothing but wet and rainy every day.  

(In his super fancy "travel case," aka a giant pink purse I bought recently.)

And a doll selfie, just because.

Get Inside Your Character's Head!

(I've been so busy lately, so sorry for the lack of posts! Hopefully this week will be a little quieter and more conducive to actually getting things done.)

You can find the full questionnaire here.  I'm going to do a few random questions as the mood strikes. :)

31. Most Prized Possession?

Emmanuel has a small silver cross that his sister Ruth gave him when he left home.  It's nothing fancy, just a silver cross on a simple chain, but it means the world to him.  He's not religious exactly, hasn't been for years, but the cross reminds him of his past and his family.  And silver can come in handy in his line of work. :)
