Emily Blue

I AM LOVING IT!

So far Emily, my first ever Blythe has had the most multiple transformations of all my Blythes so far.

That's Enough!

Doll Story
I have to be honest. I'm starting to get a little sick of the fact that my Blythes are dressed better than I am. I would love this dress in my size! I mean I would love it! And I'm not sure I can justify spending money on stuff like this too often any longer. God, I didn't buy one pair of shoes all summer! It's true, I hate shopping for myself lately, can't stand the crowds and I really haven't found anything to wear that I love in a long time but this is ridiculous.

My Final Answer

Yeah, this hair is staying. That is final. I'm really starting to like it a lot. A litte trimming and combing and a clip or two and Reya's personality started to pop out from under the curls. I'm getting her another pair of eye chips though. I'm hoping for something goldish.

Emily decided to try on Reya's human hair scalp last night around midnight. I am loving her boggle eyed transformation as well. I just bought her her a sort blue bob wig just to experiment with new hair looks for her since I removed her old scalp. That hair is fried from being dyed like four times now.

LOL!!!

TO DIY or to Buy (or a little bit of both)

This last shipment of Blythe Doll items I've purchased has made me realize something really important. I really need to start making the things I can make myself, rather than pay to get them shipped over seas. I mean some of the stuff I get like that roll neck sweater is definitely far from being in my skill level to make at the moment. But I think I could probably pull off a simple crotchet hat if I tried. Not that I don't LOOOOVE Moshi Moshi. I really have never liked sewing very much so I will probably continue to buy from other more incredibly talented seamstresses than I. But I can knit and I am definitely going yo learn to crotchet and that means I should start to be able to make a lot of clothes on my own for the Fab Five.

I was just looking at this cute pearl necklace for Blythe on ebay and I realized, what the hell am I doing even considering buying this? I work like minutes away from the garment district. I can get a string of tiny pearls and make this myself? And who knows what else? I guess I'm also getting really sick of waiting on things in the mail. Since I usually order from Japan and the UK it's really annoying have to wait for things to arrive. I don't want to get too much ahead of myself here but my own etsy shop may not be too far down the road.

I still absolutely adore Reya without all the hair. I just love being able to see her beautiful face. I only have a little left to do to finish up her scalp but sometimes I think of getting her a cute little short wig. I don't know. I can't believe I'm still on the fence about this.
