It’s official….I have a favorite. This is Dechen before her makeover. She started out already beautiful! Dechen is a Buddhist name that means “one who can reach out for happiness and joy”. I realize how this may sound, but she literally exudes peace. I can be super stressed out and anxious, and simply picking herContinue reading “Dechen!”

So Proud of Olive!
You met Olive pre face-up. She was already beautiful then, with her flowing green hair! Olive is seen here with her best friend, Trixie. What you don’t see in that photo that was taken 8 years ago is that her hair became quite the rat’s nest, So to speak. Between allowing my then 5 yearContinue reading “So Proud of Olive!”
Practicing on Limona!
I had to keep repeating the mantra in my head: “She’s just a practice doll, She’s just a practice doll…”. Okay, so Limona didn’t turn out EXACTLY how I wanted. But, I still love her of course! Limona is a Basaak doll, so just like Story’s Amber, everything was a little bit of a struggle.Continue reading “Practicing on Limona!”
Meet Emily!
I just finished posting photos of Story’s first solo Blythe customization, Amber. Now…I want to tell you about Emily.

My fast learner!!!!
Story has absolutely blown my mind with how fast she is learning! We each got a Basaak doll, which are pretty cheap (in price and quality) Blythe doll knock offs. We thought it was a good idea to work on those as practice dolls, just to get a feel for how to use the toolsContinue reading “My fast learner!!!!”
Falling in love with Olive
Before I even started working on Trixie, I ordered Olive to add to our family. Olive is a factory Blythe doll. This means she is not a Stock doll (comes with a name, outfit, and in a box), but she is also not a fake (clone). She is pieced together with real original doll parts.

Trixie- My first Real Blythe Doll!
I was both nervous, and excited to buy my first official Blythe doll! She is the 2011 Rainbow Sorbet Neo Blythe, and she had never been removed from her box. I bought her in 2012, and I hung on to the box til this day purely for sentimental reasons. She was so gorgeous! Story fellContinue reading “Trixie- My first Real Blythe Doll!”
Monique- our first!
Meet Monique! This is how she arrived, nude, and shiny, and with just the right amount of attitude. Monique is a Basaak doll. We started out with a knock off doll, mainly because of the lower price tag. We wanted to play right away without diving too far into the carving work, so I removedContinue reading “Monique- our first!”
