Playing with dolls: what did you do with your doll today that made you happy? <3

I was able to give a faceup to a doll I was thinking of selling. Gave her a wig and eyes and noooow. Looking like she's staying

 

@jennikey that is good to read, I have a girl like this as well and told myself I will give her a chance to stay with a new face-up too, mainly because she poses so well for me. Still not sure how it will go in the end because she doesn’t fit firmly yet into either of my 2 groups of other dolls similarly sized - but I’m playing with her and photographing her today to start sketching out her style.

 

@mimimontoya
I totally get that! And I hope refreshing her style and doing things with her sparks that joy to keep her

And on the topic of what I did with my dolls that made me happy is making an outfit for her!

 

Fixed her wig so it'll actually stay on her head

 

Swapped wigs, changed outfits, took pictures. Always makes me happy.

 

Having Yukiko at my side while I play video games

 

I made some wigs finally :3 I'm not good at it but it's loads better then my first wig

 

I put one doll's arm around another doll's waist... and have a second couple in the house now. They've been in this pose for a while and I don't feel like disturbing them.

I also made some jewellery for another doll. I'm not satisfied with the design (looked nice while I was making it but not so nice when on the doll), so I'll be designing and making something different. But I'm happy I actually finished crafting something for my crew -- something I haven't been able to succeed in a while. Feels good to make and finish stuff, I need to keep at it!

 

I like sticking a finger in their little resin hands - it feels like we're holding hands.
Yes, I am one of those doll collectors.

 

@MaleficentMrsofEvil Me too. I'm completely not a doll kisser / hugger, but I love letting them hold my fingers. 1/3 doll hands are perfect size for that!

 

I never dress my dolls for holidays but I was inspired by ai to order an outfit in Christmas colors a few weeks ago. Today I decided to try it on one of my dolls and it made me happy, something to distract me from my delayed preorders. Maybe I can focus on a little holiday set up early enough to get one done this year.

 

Verdi's with me at work today. The job is grueling, but taking a little break to pose her with a couple of the little props I have at my desk really cheers me up when I need it!

 

Yesterday I sat my Yo-SD next to my cat and he really snuggled up to her. It made me so happy!

 

I finished a faceup for the first time in months and got my new Reisner all finished today! He picked out a wig, stole a body, named himself, outfit set (for now..)...I'm so happy! Feeling lots of good resin vibes yesterday and today.

 

Sat her on my lap while I watched an old movie, sewed some tights onto her legs. Nice activity for a Sunday afternoon

 

A body I ordered for a character I’m making came in and I was able to at last attach her floating head to something lol.
I also was able to immediately dress her in some underwear I bought for her, and after standing her up to face me I felt super happy. Just looking at her coming together made me wanna start sewing her some more clothes. I’m eager to take my girl out on the town!

 

I started making a wig for a grail im about to receive this week

 

Yesterday, I undressed a bunch of my MSD girls and compared their abilities to sit and kneel. Today, I redressed them in different outfits and wigs.
It was awesome.

 

I love reading everyone's little wins.

Yesterday I took Dmytro and finally restrung him (well?), he is now an unstoppably rigid, pose-holding brick. I've been wanting to love that body (resinsoul bigger/70) but between the slightly imperfect proportions for me and the chaotic flop I've been unsure... Well now he functions! I am considering modifying the shoulders still and then I think he'd be even better. It's a good feeling thinking he's going to work out perfectly because he's such a bargain basement much needed comfort.
Afterwards I rooted around in his wardrobe and put him in a new outfit and just kind of admired him.

He makes me very happy

 

Yesterday I made new shoes for Petronella and now she is keeping me company while I am crocheting a new shawl for her.
