I got my hands on an original Volks Lady Sylvie (the first one from the first Home Town Dolpa ever) and can't decide if I should repaint her or not. She's not fullset or anything but still has her default faceup and eyes.

I may have been a key player in figuring out how to get rid of Mattel's head glue years ago but instead of going through with fixing all of my gluey Monster High I sold them because I didn't want to deal with it.

Was just crunching some numbers and the baby blanket I'm working on crocheting 🧶 should cost about $500 (rounded up a bit).

It blows my mind every time I think about how much hand-made fibercrafts should sell for.

Good thing I can make my own, I guess.

I decided to do one of those Red Heart 🧶 amigurumi kits to see if it's really as bad as people have been saying. Yeah, it is.
Gave my frog a butt, though.
(Yes, I missed a stitch....)

A collection shifts into a hoard when you can't display it nicely or keep it tidy anymore, or so I've heard...
Since getting a "real" job I've been struggling to get much of anything done, let alone keeping the dolls tidy.
... This is not the worst of it 😅

age yourself with a toy from your childhood

Yesterday I came across a video of a young man having trouble with this crochet 🧶 pattern for the #wuachallenge :

I did a completely freehand #crochet slouchy beanie hat this past weekend. Should have made the band a little thicker, but it's not bad.

Did an informal tutorial on Tumblr for how I curl #mylittlepony #mlp hair. This looks pretty close to factory curl, though the twist is in the opposite direction.

I had taken an informal short video showing how I do "The Rapunzel Curls" on ponies (ugh, tinsel...) but never properly posted it and lost it. People have said to me this looks just like factory c…

Anyone that's been around me long enough knows I absolutely despise polypropylene #doll / #mlp hair because it feels horrible, is unruly, and tends to fall apart after a few years.

While much rarer, nylon can crumble, too.

Modded and repainted a Goodreau Mad Hatter. He fits into my collection a little better, now. He needs a wig, though.

I've been home sick from work all this past week and this is just about the only thing I got done in that time... Lot of catching up to do. #bjd #dollsky

A good idea or some form of self torture?
I'm playing around with recycling yarn.
This was someone else's rough attempt at hand spinning that I thrifted. I'm honestly tickled by getting to see someone else's early yarn 🧶.

I picked up a #bjd #Bebell Lira head recently and am having a hard time finding any owner photos of the brand, let alone the sculpt! I'd love to see more photos.

Her sealant was thick and waxy, and she was difficult to scrub clean. I see another blob of something's gotten on her eye.... #dollsky

My old had, which I #knitted many years ago from cotton yarn frogged from a thrifted sweater and dyed with easter egg dye, and my new hat which I knitted just now with acrylic yarn frogged from a thrifted, undersized blanket.
