Swedish then Spanish

After a few hours of detangling while doing other things, she’s looking a lot better

A project I’ve been working on off and on for about a year is detangling these ringlets, I got this doll for under $10, and I don’t think I’ll get a TLC curly girl again

Both my dream discontinued dolls are actively on Mercari NIB, but for 10x what I’d pay for a secondhand doll and 2-2.5x the cost of a new doll (Rebecca and 127 are the new dolls at the top of my wishlist)

I made my bed and got a shot of the plushie corner before they got scrambled or moved under the covers

The girls, the babies and the bears, I organized the girls today (and did another round of detangling on my Disney ILY’s hair), I don’t have an updated picture of my bed plushies yet, they’re next up for organizing

I got the pen cases holding the bulk of my collection organized, and yes I use a mix of fountain pens, rollerballs, gel pens, fineliners and pencils, as long as they write smoothly

Just a reminder for my fountain pen/journal/planner peeps, you can do bare bones (I’ve been catching up on the past couple weeks today) @hobonichi.bsky.social

Claudie got here today as a late birthday/Christmas present and I love her so much

There’s literally been two NHL games this season postponed because the would be away team’s namesake came to town instead (Calgary is the Flames for those who don’t know)

Anyone else dress their mini mes as close as they can to their usual outfits? I wish the Hello Kitty x My Life As collection had other characters (like Kuromi) but it’s the closest to my style for American Girl

Shirley Temple is home and has been introduced to her competitor/era-mate McGuffey Ana (Madame Alexander’s Princess Elizabeth mold (which McGuffey Ana has) was created to go head to head with Ideal’s Shirley Temple)

I did something I’ve wanted to do since AG Place opened in 1998 (when I was in 3rd/4th grade) and ate at the Café (loaner Claudie because I couldn’t fit any of mine in my bag for Chicago)
January 5, 2025 at 3:38 PM
I like collection management apps like @gameyevg.bsky.social Penedex and @funko.bsky.social but haven’t found one for 18” dolls (currently in Google Sheets) or other brands of figures (haven’t inventoried yet), any suggestions?

I went to the @nhldotcom.bsky.social #winterclassic at Wrigley Field to see the Blackhawks, and being a history nerd, I’m wearing Charlie Gardiner, the 1934 Blackhawks goalie-captain, and touching the 1934 Chicago Blackhawks engraving on the Stanley Cup; one person noticed my jersey

I reached a 4 year Duolingo streak, a pandemic New Year’s resolution that continued even after the world reopened. I’ve done the entire Swedish course and am halfway through Spanish (Norwegian then Latin next)
December 31, 2024 at 1:18 PM
I don’t know if any of my #dollsky peeps do vintage, but I found the OG celebrity doll at a thrift store for $25 today, the Ideal Shirley Temple doll in 16”, she’s from the mid/late 30s (6 piece composition body with elastic stringing) and I got two American Girl dolls from the same store last year

My dad gave me a cute bag for a fandom we’re both in for Christmas the @cubsbot.bsky.social @mlb.com @loungefly.bsky.social backpack
December 26, 2024 at 3:29 PM
New milestone reached on Duolingo, in that streak I’ve completed the Swedish course and am about halfway through Spanish; next milestone after this is 4 years on the 31st (was a resolution 2020 into 2021 to practice daily and I’ve kept it

My current planner stack (which will carryover to 2025 with a new Cousin insert) is rather simple but it works after trying a lot of planners: Happy Planner Mini Dashboard and Hobonichi Cousin with ACNH cover (plus something for budget I’m still tinkering with)

Two of my birthday gifts from a couple of weeks ago are awesome Sanrio accessories that complement cute coords and add to any outfit
December 14, 2024 at 3:26 PM
My figure collection and doll outfit choices (one of American Girl, My Life As or Our Generation needs a NHL license, the INF size human ones fit 23” dolls though) also reflect my sports fandoms
December 14, 2024 at 1:26 PM
Any other sports fan plushie collectors loving the recent improvements in mascot plushies? The 12” squishes are decently priced and highly detailed
