A Doll A week 2024 / Week 2 Angus and Ofelia

 Back at 2011 I had my eyes on Angeldolls.UK, as they had many nice dolls in stock! I was focused on ordering Bluefairy Something Special Louis Valentine and Basic Pocketfairy Yoko! I still remember how amazing it was to get them. ^-^

Here is a link to Ofelia's arrival story and here's a link to Angus' arrival photos. I love my Bluefairies, even tough I've not played with them for long time. But now that everyone has their appointment in the calendar, even if I couldn't actually do anything else but take a snapshot or three that's more than what I've done in so many years. Anyway, back then buying two dolls at that time felt great option. They were in stock, so it meant they arrived rather fast. And as UK was in EU (?? I think) there was no custom fees. Angus is Tinyfairy Louis Valentine Special (fullset) and Ofelia is Pocketfairy Yoko with girl body (basic). They are so cute. Photos aren't best, which is not a surprise. I'll get into the camera thing eventually. And I don't want to post things late all the time so I guess we'll go with this and eventually get back to nicer backgrounds and such nice things. We bought some interesting wallpapers which I really want to use, but I might have to do some crafting first. There's no room for a roombox or a diorama which could stay put for long but I might be able to cook up some wall papered backgrounds so they would at least have some color and not be so bland. 

Autumn Islet

Here's second set of the photos from Tobias and Miio. I have had many photoshoots in this islet (I really liked this word). And there's going to be more in the future with different dolls. So much I like the rocky shores and the pines. These are actually in reverse order, the photos in the beach are the last photos I had from Tobias and Miio, and the ones at the bottom of this post are the first.

 

 

 

 

 

Little Granny's Christmas gang 23/24

Well of course, I couldn't let the Christmas go without letting Little Granny, Little Elf, Pink Bear and Lamb to have a chance to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Here's a bit of their history, in order of arrival.

Lamb / Ofelia - Bluefairy Pocketfairy Yoko with basic girl body, she arrived home on February 2011. I had always thought PF's were really cute but didn't think I'd buy any myself. She has brown acrylic eyes becouse they are nice looking and the size is good too, I've tried her some other eyes but these are the best ones. Wig, shoes and face up by Bluefairy, outfit by me.

Little Granny / Leni - Latidoll Yellow limited Cat. She came with the cat parts I think, and she was bought from Lunasa in our forum. Leni arrived at March 2011. She has Kanis Augen Gold 14mm eyes and Rosenlied mohair wig with default face up by Latidoll. Her cardigan is made by Kaede, shoes from Mimiwoo oooorrrr some other place I can't remember, outfit is by me other than the cardigan.

Pink Bear / Bijou - Latidoll Yellow limited Le Petit Prince Kuroo the sheep. I bought her from Kaede from our Finnish doll forum. Most of my Lati's are bought from hobbyists. Default face up, wig from Dollheart, outfit by me, hat bought from LDoll and shoes Mimiwoo propably.

Little Elf / Edwina - Latidoll Yellow Limited Special HongKong elf. Again she was bought from Efoto at our finnish forum at May 2015. Face up is default, eyes from Kanis Augen, Dollheart wig, cardigan again by talented Kaede, other clothes by me and shoes I can't remember where they're from.

Please say Merry Christmas for Little Granny's gang! ^___^

Miio - Bluefairy Tinyfairy Kyle 22/24

At Your Service Kyle and Jerome were another one of those Premium Limited sets that were sold by Bluefairy at one time. I bought Kyle second hand, he had a boy body instead of the Dandy and no clothes, eyes or wig. I bought or traded the outfit later on, can't remember for sure as I've not written that down anywhere. Anyway, the limited series were painted by Bluefairy artist Xia'o and they were beauty white resin. Outfits were really well made and beautiful, they're Dandy size, so it's a little too big for my boy. I named him Miio, I googled it and it's just longer finnish form of Mio and I've seen it mostly as a boys name. I guess it could be a girls name too, it sounds like it could be either one.

I was inspired by a photo from a young woman in a women's magazine and she had grey straight pants, white blouse, a hat and boots. It was quite simple look but it was nice. I wanted to try to re-create this look on three of my dolls and Miio got one outfit for himself. Pants were all made from this grey linen (I think it's linen, not sure), shirt is older thing I had around, he has his own socks and shoes by Bluefairy. His face up is by Xia'o, eyes from eye shop I just can't spell the name, it might've been from Germany (not Kanis Augen) and wig by Onegreyelephant. Say hello for him will you?! :)

Sylvia - Bluefairy Tinyfairy May 19/24

One of the most classic dolls and The doll from Bluefairy is their iconic Tinyfairy May. She's propably one of the most sold doll, she appears in many sizes and even their 15 year anniversary doll was May with elf ears. I bought Sylvia from the finnish doll forum at Christmas eve 2006. She came home on January 25th, I don't remember for sure but it might have been that I asked for a layaway and I got that, that's why she took so long to come home. I think Sylvia has kept her colour as well as Tobias has. Their resin is the piggy pink colour and I do believe they age quite gracefully. I remember the tone wasn't on many peoples liking but I do still love it. Most of my dolls had a background story, Sylvia does too but it embarasses me how bad story it is. I'm glad dolls can always be re-invented and refreshed. I don't make much stories with my dolls these days, but I thought it was fun when I did it. 

Sylvia has mohair wig by SweetNeat Crafts, Enchanted Doll eyes and face up by Jesmo. Her dress, tights, necklace and put-together-headband are by me and shoes from RRabbit shop. I adore those velvet shoes. So pretty! Christmas Greetings from Sylvia.

Angus - Bluefairy Tinyfairy Louis Valentine 17/24

There was a Bluefairy dealer called Angeldolls.UK and they had few of what I wanted for sale so in my order went for Bluefairy Special Tinyfairy Louis Valentine and basic Bluefairy Pocketfairy Yoko. "Special" has always meant that the doll has clothes, wig and shoes as well as face up coming with it. In this limited Special series it meant not the school uniform which they usually came with but grey shorts, sleeveless shirt with cuffs, jacket and hat. Not much of my thing, the clothes, but he was normal skin doll instead of the usual beauty white which limiteds usually are. He has a dandy body (which I find hilarious name for some reason). I find the Valentine part in the name really cute. Bluefairy calls their dreaming eyed dolls (the squinty eyes) as Valentines which is really lovely, they have sleeping heads too, but they're sleeping - not Valentine. Louis is handsome in many types and the Valentine type is totally one of them.

His name, Angus, of course comes from the one and only MacGyver. I think the name suits him, he owns a coffeeshop and doesn't have anything in common with the original Angus MacGyver who was a some sort of secret agent man. Angus' outfit and shoes are from Bluefairy, face up is default, wig from Leeke and eyes Enchanted Doll Milky #6 14mm. He has a day off it seems as as it is Christmas and even his little Cafe is closed on holidays. :) Please stop by his Cafe if you have time to do that! ^-~

Natalia - Bluefairy Tinyfairy Olive 16/24

Even the name of the Limited series Tinyfairy was super cute. Dear Deer series was beauty white resin limited doll with fullset clothes. Originally this set was designed for Sarang and photo in the promotion pictures were Sarang too. The Limited series came with clothes and shoes but you could change the head and body so I decided to go with Olive with a full blossom body. I split the clothes, shoes and wig with a friend and only kept the doll. Olive is super classic Bluefairy girl. I named her Natalia and she came home in the middle of February 2010. I swapped Natalia's body for blossom body with my Blance Marin Lin as I thought it would fit her better and then Lin would have different body than other two Lins.

Natalia's face up is default, wig is from Monique Gold, eyes Enchanted Doll number 48 16mm low dome, necklace Jesmo, cardigan by Maram Banu, corset by Raouken, leggings by Fairy Kiss (Kaede), legwarmers, socks and skirt by me and finally the shoes by RRabbit. I really like this look on her, she's so cute!

Say big hello to Natalia! :)

Chloe - Bluefairy Tinyfairy Lin 14/24

Chloe is my second Tinyfairy Lin, not in order, but in this introduction. She's the third actually. Chloe is a Blance Marin Limited edition in beauty white resin, she arrived September 2009. She was sold with blossom body but I switched her body to a full bust from one of my other Tinyfairy girls. I sold the clothes she had before she came, but kept the wig. I really like this carrot wig, I think it suits Lin's features really well. Lin sculpt looks a lot like Xiao, it's dreaming version of that sculpt. From the second sculpt that is, first Xiao is a tad bit smiley which I really love. Serious Lin and serious Xiao were the first bought tough.

Chloe has her default wig and face up by Bluefairy, Enchanted Doll eyes in 14mm, cardigan by Maram Banu, blouse, skirt, socks and hairclip bow decoration by me and shoes by Daydream Doll. Let's meet Chloe! ^__^

Tobias - Bluefairy Tinyfairy Jerome 13/24

Tobias is my first doll. I must've told you this story for many times BUT here it is once more! My friend Woodoo introduced me to these resin ball jointed dolls back at 2004, she sent me some links to Customhouse dolls and we both really liked the look of these dolls. Woodoo also showed me Bluefairy doll photos from many different places, and said she's going to order one doll from them. Back then she had to use a shopping service for her doll and sometime during that year 2004 we met at local (from my home 600km - capital city = local) Animecon. That turned my head towards buying one of these super expensive dolls which look really pretty. My friend ordered her second doll and asked me if I'd want to join in the order and have my first doll. SO I took a plunge to the doll hobby, and I don't regret it.

I really love Bluefairy Tinyfairy Jerome which is my Tobias. He came home to me on November 2005, but first he went to my friends home where I had sent out some clothes I made with measurements Woodoo had measured from her doll. Shirt was a good fit, pants were too short in the pantlegs. When Tobias went to my friend's home, she dressed him on the clothes I had sewn and shipped him to me. I had gone to another city to teach silk screen printing at that time so and I woke up as soon as I found out he was at the post office waiting for me. It was so exiting!!! We've had so much fun together at these 14 years. Tobias has the original face up, Enchanted Doll eyes #42 in 16mm low dome and his wig is still the same black Dollmore. His clothes in these photos are made by me, his shoes are from Luts. Please say big hello to Tobias!

Kaisla - Bluefairy Tinyfairy Lin 9/24

Bluefairy Tinyfairy Limited Midsummer Night's Dreaming Lin was the first limited series doll that I fell in love for good. I really wanted to have this doll! And I did, she came home on October 2006 which thus made her my fourth doll. I named her Kaisla, which means "reed" in english. Midsummer Night's Dreaming Xiao and Lin were second limiteds that came with magical "Misty Rose" skin which I guess was just less red and more like yellowish normal skin. I've changed Kaisla's look very little from the original, she has blonde wig, face up is still the same as it was when she arrived and she sometimes wears some of the limited set clothes she came with. Her eyes are light blue... noooot exactly sure if they are resin eyes or glass, I think they propably are glass. Anyway, I might want to change them as they are a bit too big. Kaisla is looking for me re-inventing her style since she looks like a pile of cream topped with cream with yellow and more cream. She's like a cake! Ahem, lets get this together:

Kaisla wears her limited Dreaming Lin dress, necklace, wristband and headband with shoes by Bluefairy. Her wig is made by SweetNeat, cardigan by Maram Banu and socks by me. Say hello for my sweet girl. Thank you!

Leo - Bluefairy Tinyfairy Gus 7/24

Like Bluefairy has done many times lately, they had said that Tinyfairy Gus will be a limited item after the last order period. I decided to order some doll shoes as well as the TF Gus head. I think we made a group order with some people. Anyway, Leo came home at March 2014, just for my birthday which was of course awesome. I bought a body in second hand for him too year later. He is such a cutie, first I didn't think I'd own a Gus but he is really gentle looking boy (with Classic Tinyfairy Gentle Body too ahahaaaa) silly joke there.

I sent his head out to have a face up from Fyrd8th and oh gosh he came out so pretty! His wig is a fake fur wig from group order and eyes ar Enchanted Doll Eyes 14mm and all clothes made by me. I thought he'd like colourfull pants and shirt. His shoes are from Luts. I should actually buy some sort of fashion magazine so I could see what type of clothes young (ish) guys wear these days, my spouse only mostly wears black so that doesn't help. I think he looks really nice! Leo is slowly finding his personality and character, it's great to get to know him. :) It's great to introduce him to you!

Lukas - Bluefairy Tinyfairy Premium Louis 5/24

Bluefairy Tinyfairy Premium line was a limited line which had some special dolls back at when the beauty white were always limited ones. Louis was one of three dolls whith the same My Sweet Day limited status and they were quite a bit more expensive than the basic ones. They came with face up made by Xia'o (her signature at the back of the head too), eyes, wig, clothes, shoes, teddybear and suitcase. Originally My Sweet Day Louis came with a boy body, but I managed to switch it with a friend for a Dandy body. Back then I had a roommate who was also into dolls and she agreed to order me this doll and I paid the order for her. Lukas arrived at July 2007.

Lukas still has the original face up, eyes are 14mm Kanis Augen green and wig from Sunny's (I don't know if this still exists since the wig is old too). These days he has outfit made after one of the guys I've seen at work, it's so difficult to decide what sort of clothes to make for a boy so I kinda just stole one look that I liked. It has grey shirt, ochre pants and black cardigan with grey socks. His teddybear is still in his suitcase and he digs it out only in special occations as he doesn't want to seem like a sissy boy. Please say hello to Lukas. ^-^

Odessa - Bluefairy Shinyfairy May (1.) 4/24

I was totally desperate to get Shinyfairy May in the first sculpt that Bluefairy created in SF size. Bluefairy modded the sculpt in totally different one for the second edition and changed it back to the third. The first and third Shinyfairy May look similar, but the second was really different from the mouth. I don't know why they did that but they did anyway. Maybe the Bluefairy enthusiasts got them changing the sculpt back looking more like Tinyfairy May like it was originally. My friend Uninu helped me to get this girl from Y!Japan and this doll was quite pricey as I can recall. And just few days or week or so after I had paid this girl Bluefairy noticed that they are going to make a final sale for the SF May 1st. It wasn't good luck for me, I always hope I can make the best deals with dolls I buy from second hand market and this time I really didn't. Doesn't everybody want the best deal? Anyway!

Odessa came to me on May 2012. She's such a sweet girl! May is the iconic sculpt of Bluefairy and they have sculpted this little face in many sizes. I'm vey happy to have this little girl. Isn't she cute? Her wig is from Leeke, eyes are Hand Glass Craft mauve in 14mm, face up is by Bluefairy as well as outfit and shoes. It was great to have Bluefairy in the LDoll when they came there as I bought few cute outfits from them and it's super good to have nice outfits for all of my dolls. Especially for the smaller ones as I'm really lazy sewing for them. :D Say hello to Odessa!

Little Granny's Christmas - Day 24

It's Christmas Eve and Little Granny, Pink Bear, Little Elf, Lamb and the reindeers have filled their tummies with delicious food, listened Christmas carols and played many games. It's time for evening coffee.
On jouluaatto ja Pikku Mummo, Pinkki Nalle, Pikku Tonttu, Lammas ja porot ovat täyttäneet vatsansa herkullisella ruoalla, kuunnelleet joululauluja ja pelanneet monia pelejä. On iltakahvin aika.



Little Granny: Coffee and gingerbread just fits in this evening.
Little Elf: I could have another of those gingerbreads, thank you. 
Pikku Mummo: Kahvit ja piparit sopii tähän iltaan todella mainiosti. 
Pikku Tonttu: Ottaisin mieluusti toisenkin piparkakun, kiitos. 

Little Granny's Christmas - Day 23

Little Granny, Postal Elf, Little Elf and their friends have finally reached Little Granny's cottage! There the cottage lies on that hill, waiting for her to come back home.
Pikku Mummo, Posti Tonttu, Pikku Tonttu ja heidän ystävänsä ovat viimeinkin perillä Pikku Mummon mökillä! Tuolla se mökki töröttää mäen päällä, odottamassa Mummoa takaisin kotiin.




Postal Elf: Thank you so much to you all becouse you came to look at me.
Posti Tonttu: Kiitos tuhannesti teille kaikille kun tulitte etsimään minua. 

Little Granny's Christmas - Day 22

Owl had lead Little Granny and her friends to a Christmas tree forest from where they got Christmas tree year before. He had some owly shenanigans to do, so he left them and all of them waved for goodbye.
Pöllö oli johdattanut Pikku Mummon ja hänen ystävänsä joulukuusi metsään josta he edellisenä vuonna olivat hakeneet kuusen. Hänellä oli kuitenkin jotain pöllömäisiä juttuja menossa, joten hän lähti ja toiset jäivät vilkuttamaan hyvästiksi.


Lamb: Baaaa *snif* Baaa *snif*.
Little Granny: Oh Lamb, don't be sad, we'll meet him again.
Lammas: Bäää *snif* Bäää *snif*.
Pikku Mummo: Voi Lammas, älä ole surullinen, kyllä me tapaamme hänet uudelleen.


Lamb: Baaah?
Little Granny: Yes, I'm sure.
Lammas: Bääh?
Pikku Mummo: Ihan varmsti.

Little Granny's Christmas - Day 21

Owl flies above the tree tops and leads them forward in the path. After the exiting bridge episode Little Granny, Little Elf, Pink Bear, reindeers, Lamb and Postal Elf have walked in to a forest of short growing spruces.
Pöllö lentää puidenlatvojen yläpuolella ja johtaa heitä eteenpäin polulla. Jännittävän silta episodin jälkeen Pikku Mummo, Pikku Tonttu, Pinkki Nalle, porot, Lammas ja Posti Tonttu kävelivät lyhytkasvuisten kuusten metsään.


Little Elf: That was some bridge on that gorge.
Little Granny: But we all got over it didn't we!
Pikku Tonttu: Melkonen silta oli siellä rotkolla. 
Pikku Mummo: Mutta me kaikki päästiin siitä yli, eikös vain!


They walk ahead and talk about the bridge and how frightning it was.
He puhelevat sillasta ja sen pelottavuudesta kävellessään.

Little Granny's Christmas - Day 20

Little Elf, Little Granny, Pink Bear, Lamb, Postal Elf and the reindeer spent the night at Owl's barn and he promised to lead them towards Granny's cottage in the morning.
Pikku Tonttu, Pikku Mummo, Pinkki Nalle, Lammas, Posti Tonttu ja porot olivat yötä Pöllön ladossa ja hän lupasi johdattaa heidät Mummon mökille aamulla.




Pink Bear: Do you think we ever get back to your cottage, Little Granny?
Pinkki Nalle: Luuletko että me koskaan päästään takaisin mökillesi, Pikku Mummo?

Little Granny's Christmas - Day 17

Little Granny, Little Elf, Pink Bear, Lamb, Postal Elf AND the reindeer left Lila's home singing jolly Christmas carols about elves and Christmas trees and all things ending with "olly". They've all found the litle bags of juice boxes and gingerbread among other things Lila packed for them so the journey seems to look really nice!
Pikku Mummo, Pikku Tonttu, Pinkki Nalle, Lammas, Posti Tonttu ja porot läksivät Lilan luota lauleskellen iloisia joululauluja tontuista ja joulukuusista ja kaikesta muusta hauskasta. He ovat jokainen löytäneet Lilan pakkaamat pienet eväspussit joissa on pillimehuja ja piparkakkuja sekä vähän muutakin. Matka näyttää kivalta!

Little Granny's Christmas - Day 16

It's quite early in the morning and Little Elf, Pink Bear and Lamb has already woken up. Little Elf is pulling her shoes on.
On vielä aikainen aamu ja Pikku Tonttu, Pinkki Nalle ja Lammas ovat jo heränneet. Tonttu kiskoo kenkiä jalkaansa.



Little Elf: Could you please wake up Granny and Postal Elf, Lamb?
Lamb: Ba-aha.
Pikku Tonttu: Voisitko herättää Mummon ja Posti Tontun, Lammas?
Lammas: Bä-ähä.
