Happy holidays!

Finally I had the time to do a couple of holidays pictures with my dollies. This year is the first Christmas in the new house and we are going to Portugal for Christmas to spend it with the family, so I decided not to buy a big tree but just a tiny one and some other simple decorations just to give the house a touch of Christmas (I love Christmas, it is my favorite holiday!!!). Turns out it is the perfect size for my dolls so I thought it would be cute to create a scene out of it with the whole family, even those out of the story joined. Everyone helped out decorating the tree and afterwards we took a family pic with everyone together πŸ™‚

Happy Holidays!

The little girls decided to help with the decorations: Iris took care of the bows, Evie and Izzy were in charge of the rest of the decorations and Serena helped them out to reach the highest places. Also Charlotte together with Bee and Emi helped with the ornaments. Little Vanilla helped arrange Santa on the top of the tree and put his light in place.
George decided to play Santa himself and bring the presents to place under the tree and Eliza baked some cookies to welcome the real Santa while the others worked. Pandora was really excited about the cookies, and she wanted to eat them herself since she loves sweets (it is her first Christmas with the humans so she didn’t understand what they were for). Arya was quite confused about the whole thing too (since in her world there is not such thing as Christmas or Christmas trees) she spent the whole time wondering what the whole thing was about. Finally Alice, being a photography enthusiast, took care of the pictures to create some memories πŸ™‚

Happy Holidays!

When the tree was ready Alice set the timer and the whole family took a picture together with it. Pandora was lucky to get a cookie, because Eliza felt sorry for her and Santa eats too many cookies anyway!

I am not sure how much time I will have for other pictures and posts before Christmas, maybe I will post something else but I’m not sure, so me and my dolly family would like to wish you all Happy Holidays: a merry Christmas full of love and presents and a wonderful new year full of wonderful surprises and dolly goodness!!!

Leaving for summer!

I am really happy that I am finally leaving and going back to Lisbon this Sunday!!! I haven’t been in Portugal since Christmas and I don’t see my family for 8 months!!! It’s the longest I have been away from them in my entire life and I hope it won’t happen ever again…this year was a busy year, being the last one of my Master and I needed to organise a lot of stuff and I ended up not having a lot of vacation.

I have been very active in the BJD community this last weeks because I have been in more free but in September work starts again. However, I hope I manage to keep up with dolls and I want to try and post at least once a week. Let’s see how this plan goes πŸ˜‰

To say goodbye to everyone I decided to take yet another family picture, this time with the WHOLE family (even the size misfits) because at least for now it is complete πŸ˜€

My BJD if they were Anime characters <3

My BJD as Anime Characters

This game was running around the Italian BJD community on Facebook and I decided to make my own family πŸ˜€

From left to right (click on the picture for a bigger version):

George Bradford [FL MNF Carl]
Eliza D’Aurey [FL MNF Rheia]
Vanilla Moonlily [FL Puki Flora]
Serena Alma [Iple nYID Bianca Human]
Still nameless [Xagadoll Lara]

Bee and Izzy were kind of hard to make, because they are currently going through a make-over, and they do not have a default look yet but I made them as they are right now. My Xagadoll Lara is the one that maybe is less developed because I am still in the process of getting to know her, but this is what I imagine of her now… I still have to decide her name too, I am waiting to see her in person with her new face-up to decide if the names I thought of fit πŸ™‚

This is actually an Adult game that lets you create characters and then interact in some creepy ways…ahem, but if you Β ignore some of the features you manage to create really cute characters. Here is the link if you are interested (ATTENTION: there is some ADULT content).

Back in action!!!

Here I am!!! I have been away for a really long time…I missed Flickr and dolls so much 😦

Let’s say there were a lot of changes in my life since the beginning of this year: most of them very good and one of them really sad but I have been totally busy! Since I moved in with my boyfriend and we are putting the house together and I started my 3 month internship at the same time, I didn’t have time for anything else, literally…now, hopefully, things will change a bit. And as I had let you know before, it’s official: the whole family move to Italy!!! And since a long time went by there were even some make-overs in the process πŸ˜‰ I will show you more details soon!!!!

For now I leave you with the complete family, I am so proud of them!

Here is Serena my muse, beautiful as ever (as she doesn’t fit with the rest of the family) hehe

LDoll Reportage <3

Finally I have the time to do this!!!!

Back from LDoll

I came back from LDoll a week ago but I started classes immediately, with an intense week long workshop and I didn’t have time even to look at the photos or at the stuff I bought until now. However I am so glad I got the chance to go, even just for a day. I had the most amazing time and I now wish to have the change to go back next year!!! It was such a wonderful experience!!!

Since it was my first time attending this kind of Festival, I really didn’t know what to expect and I was so overwhelmed when I got there! First thing that really surprised me was the number of people: there was a huge line, everybody waiting to go in, whole families with their dolls, couples, old people with their dolls!!! There was a spirit that until now I didn’t know, since in Portugal it still is a really small hobby for few people.

After going in I was so excited I even forgot to pee or eat!!! I kept going around the stands looking at all the beautiful stuff and things for sale! I wish I had the money to buy most of it

In the afternoon I met some italian girls from the Italian forum and it was so much fun, they are great!!! People in general were so nice, all eager to let you see their dolls and talk and meet! And there were so many beautiful dolls walking around with their owners πŸ˜€ I saw some molds I had seen only in pics and are simply gorgeous and some HUGE dolls! I even saw some dolls from people I follow on Flickr!!! It’s weird to recognize people by their dolls πŸ˜‰

I arrived back to the Hotel exhausted but really happy!!! I met wonderful people and I really experienced the BJD hobby like I never had before!!! I only wish I had had more money to spend on goodies…! And obviously I am hoping to go back new year!!!

Please check my Flickr for some pics of the event. I didn’t take a lot because I was so distracted by everything around me I totally forgot to take out my camera!!! hehe

Here are my girls showing off the stuff we bought! Alice is also modelling a wig I got for my new Iplehouse Bianca, and it actually looks really great on her too ❀
