Secretdoll - Picture Doll Person - discussion part 5

You too! I live in a very rural area that also happens to be on a popular haunted hayride route. We do carved pumpkins for that as there's little point in doing them on the 31st when no one but us will see them, and we're out trick or treating anyway. One year we did 14 pumpkins --scooping is my least favorite part too!

I should make an effort and get the resin kids in costume, but the real one seems to need all my time. Steampunk is all about the accessories, you know...

 

We don't celebrate Halloween here in Spain but I've noticed that the local supermarket now has a small section of Halloween items for sale. I bought a skeleton, about 15 inches long, which I hung on the front door about two weeks ago.....every time the wind blows so my little boy Chihuahua has heart failure!

 

Lol! It's probably bigger than him! Or maybe uncannily too close to the same size for his comfort :0
Do you celebrate Dia de los Meurtos in Spain at all? I know it's a Latin American tradition but I wonder if it's caught on in other Spanish speaking areas...

 

LOL Yes, you're right icicle, it is taller than him but to be honest he is frightened of everything, I've never known such a 'scaredy cat dog!'
No, I'm not aware of people celebrating el Dia de los Meurtos but they do celebrate everything else! I swear there is not a month goes by without one fiesta or another. And then there is the Mardi Gras, Semana Santa, Los Reyes, the Spanish LOVE a good procession through the town!

 

Cold Heart release is up -- 보안접속이란?

Interesting take on the Near dolls. Looks like a more realistic nose to soften the face and make it look less Person-like and more human.
I like the BE08 and NE21 best, though...

eek! Those huge cowl sweaters are awesome! I'm going to have to figure out a pattern....

 

I am loving the Near Person. I think her face is so beautiful. Definitely more human-like. I've never ordered directly from Secretdoll, mine have always been rehomes...how long do they usually take to ship in a typical release?

 

Ooooh I'm loving them too, particularly the Near Person 21 with the paler lips...although I like the other with the red lips too....and the #8 is pretty cute too.
icicle, there is a Blythe pattern that I found on-line that could probably be adapted without you having to create a whole new pattern......here it's being worn by my since adopted out #21, the sleeves could be lengthened and the roll neck made bigger......

The pattern is by someone who goes by the name of Woolly Rockers and can be found on Ravelry. She also has a blog but unfortunately I can't find the link right now.

 

My experience is that they ship in a fairly quick fashion, I think mine was less than a month both times.

Wow I love those new fullsets they are LOVELY.

 

tetsie -- Secretdoll is usually right on target. I'd expect the normal 60 to 90 days for a limited release.

Oh yes, that would be a wonderful start -- thanks dambuster01! I usually start fiddling around with the free Lati Yellow dress pattern on Ravelry but there are less mods with this pattern.

ETA: Super cute new clothes too -- secretdoll [outfits]

 

I just made my final layaway payment on my Person 21. When I logged on I saw the new Cold Heart release. They are really nice, but they are much softer than their previous releases. I love the new outfits; the cowl sweaters are so neat and I love the shoes! I just received 3 outfits I custom ordered for my Person; all Barbie retro style outfits; a Dinner at Eight type outfit, dungarees & a work shirt, and a polka dot sundress. She needs shoes yet, though. Can anyone tell me what will fit and where you get shoes?

 

Congratulations on making your final payment, your girl will be home soon and I look forward to seeing her!
I like the sound of the outfits you're getting for her too.
As for shoes, I don't know about anyone else but I tend to get mine all over the place. My girl, Valentine, has shoes from Ebay, Etsy and Ruby Red Galleria, as well as from Releaserain and Mimiwoo. I search for Lati Yellow shoes and go from there. She also wears some Blythe shoes, for example she has some really cute little boots which I got on Etsy and others which I got from Cool_Cat, again meant for Blythe. Also the overly large shoes on Ebay that are also designed for Blythe look very cute on them. My girl also has some which I've had for ages and I think I actually bought them for an old Riley Kish! I hope you find what you want out there

 

Congratulations! It will be great to see a new Person on here! ^_^

I can't imagine knitting for these guys! Though I may have to try it now... the boys want sweaters...

I kind of like the narrow eyed 21 and the big eyes 08, but they're very definitely girls.
I keep looking at the big eyed 04 in the standard line, but I don't know. He doesn't grab me like the two boys I already have.
I see they posted up some new overall outfits! And there are still several wigs I would love to try... but at $25 a pop, plus shipping...
maybe I need to learn to make wigs...

the boys say I need to learn to take pictures! lol
cold and rainy day here though.

 

Hi Lurker out of the shadows now lol and wanted to thank you all for posting the info and discussion about Persons...many thanks! I have two girls bought as rehomes and hoping to add a Near person next year..I am looking for some great quirky clothing and would love some suggestions of your favourite handmade clothing designers..

 

What is it with kids today? Honestly, when I was a girl I would have been delighted if my mum and dad suggested a nice walk on the beach in the sunshine!
Oh no, not Valentine though, all she wanted to do was sit in front of the tv playing on her Playstation......
Hence the sulky face!

 

The new Nears are really neat; eerie and strange how I like my Persons to be! I just finished paying off a big doll so they won't be in the cards for me, sadly.

 

I just saw Valentine's pictures on Flikr. She is just so cute with her grumpy face, even out in the sunshine on a beach! lol
My boys would love to have a beach anywhere NEAR us! Not a chance in landlocked Kansas!

@dragonmel77 - I haven't bought from this place yet, but they are on my short list, and I see Valentine is wearing one of the sweaters! DooDooCorner
Look for the Lati Yellow size. I think you have to take the heads off for those sweaters though.

 

Thank you aernath! Yes, any other child would be delighted, wouldn't they? What on earth does it take for these Persons to be happy, eh?
As for the sweater, yes it came from that lady in Italy, it's so cute, I got it back in the summer and saved it for her for the cooler weather. I got the Blythe Middie size if I remember rightly and it's just a bit short in the sleeves, which fortunately she doesn't mind. As for the back, do you know I can't remember now if it has an opening down the back and although she's only in my bedroom I'm held down with two dogs inside my hoodie and another two on my lap so can't get up....and it's nice when they're quiet! LOL....I will look later though.

 

Awww! That's a great way to be pinned down! Warm furries! I hate to move when any of our cats gets comfy on my lap. And yes, since it's colder now, that happens a lot more often! lol

 

Same with this lot.....though being Chihuahuas they are often shivering even when it's just the tiniest bit cooler!
Anyway, I just looked at the sweater and it had an opening of a couple of centimetres and a snap at the top, so enough for it to be pulled up from the bottom over the legs.

 

A-HA! Sneaky, and what a great idea! See, I would have been taking heads off...."OFF with their heads!" lol
