New Doll: Bratz Jade

 

I got another one, this is part 2 of my Black Friday scores.  Jade, from Bratz.  She's my favorite, because the has pigtails.

New Doll: Bratz Sasha

 

This is Sasha from Bratz 20th anniversary release.  It's also my first Bratz doll in about 20 years.

New Doll: Rainbow High Krystal Bailey

I bought Krystal Bailey a few months ago, but I was facing a doll burnout, so I kept her in box for a while until I was ready to open her, which was this past Sunday.  

Plush: Taiyaki

 I spent an annoying amount of time painting the scales on this fish.

Plush: Onigiri

 

This is a plush of an onigiri, or rice ball.  I'm not as pleased with this one, as it is lopsided, but it was a learning experience, and I'm making these to learn.  It's still cute, lopsided aside.  It's also very large, if I make another of these, I'll prolly scale it down.

Plush: Green Tea Mochi

 

I'm a little burned out on doll shit right now, so I've started making plushies.  It's nice to keep sewing and do something completely different at the same time.  This is a green tea mochi ball, using a ball pattern, some apparel fabric, and fabric paint for the face.  Yeah, I did that freehand.  I'm pretty pleased with it.  I'd say it took me 3 hours total, from cutting fabric to painting on the face.  It was a great way to spend my Sunday.

Introducing: Rarity and Applejack!

 Welp, I did a thing, the beginning of this month.  I binge-bought an entire line of dolls in one go.  Equestria Girls, Classic edition, by Hasbro.  I don't remember if I ever shared them here, but I used to have a Pinkie Pie and a Fluttershy, but I parted with them in January during the GREAT PURGE.  I regretted letting them go, and I'm on a MASSIVE My Little Pony kick, so I rebought the ones I donated, and completed the line too.

Here's Rarity and Applejack, the first two to arrive, last week!

Update: Massive Doll Sort'n'Toss Results

 I am moving in the spring this year.  In an effort to organize my stuff and minimize what I have to pack, I took on the project of sorting through every doll I own and tossing the ones that don't inspire me to create or have heavy nostalgia.  I thought this project would take me one week, it ended up taking me a whole month, but the results were very valuable.

I started out with an estimated 46 dolls.  Just taking inventory was a huge eye opener.  I thought I only had about 20 dolls, and I had more than double that.  I had dolls stashed in every room in the house, even my kitchen!  Madness!  Every doll was in excellent condition, with all their original accessories, by the way.  I'd even ordered doll stands for the ones that didn't come with stands.  It's a NICE collection.  I love my dolls, so I knew this was going to be an emotional process.  In spite of this, I set the goal to cut my collection in HALF.  I prepared a cardboard box, got some large ziplock bags, and started putting dolls I was willing to part with in each bag, with their clothes, accessories, and a stand for each, and put each bag in the box.
