Update: Ebay is the devil...

Here a couple things I got this month.
I got this outfit on ebay. It was 58 bucks and was seriously worth it. Its all black velvet and well put together. The top is once piece with little decorate snaps on the back that make straps. One of them I cant seem to resnap, so Im going to see if some of the velvets in the way. The skirt is two pieces. The white ruffle and the overskirt you tie on. The white ruffle on the sleave runs about halfway up the arm. I ended up putting a tshirt on under it to just protect if the top stains at all. Ill eventually get her a body skin, but temperately it will work. (poor Sabers eye fell in XD but i fixed it)

The wig is from Licht. I thought it was going to have a little more blue in it, and both Heather and I got this wig style. I feel that for my girl I should have/from now on need to go with a 9-10 for Saber. I feel it falls more flat at her scalp. So there was a bunch of wigs I kept seeing that I like. I have really come to love gradient wigs >_> I bought this...but right now no one I have looks good in it :/
Theres also some wigs I found on Crobidoll that I might just break down and get sometime. I really like this blue mix. I might also ask some wig makers if they can make that super light/sky blue color that Saber looks good in :/

Now for shoes!
I love these shoes so much. I love the color and the clear platform soles. The strap hooks under the buckle, so theres no having to undo and redo them really, just unhook them. They are fantastic quality and not really pricy. The only thing was that they are listed for a DD, and they dont fit. The DD can wear them, but the shoe is too long to fit the foot, so Xerxes will probably end up wearing them.
Then for 1/6 scale I bought these their just not here yet but you can get them here

Dollfie Dreams...

I have gotten out of the resin hobby pretty much. I have my few and thats all Im going to keep. Theres just too much drama going on and everything that Im just tired of it and after about 7 years, I think changing focus is a good thing.

The only thing I ever decided was that I wanted one Dollfie Dream. I ordinally had a Alna but I just wasnt clicking with her at all so she went to live with Heather. Then I had a Neris but eventually she went to find another home.

The one doll I really wanted was a Saber, and at the time they did the preorder and had two Sabers offered. Then came the dilemma of which Saber I wanted. One was normal skin and I liked her eyes, the other was WS but I liked her dress and wig. So I kept wishy washing and ended up missing the preorder by one day.

I finally ended up finding a reasonably priced Saber.
I haven't come up with a name for her yet. I just call her Saber and her hair wasnt intended to be blue but as soon as I put this wig on her and gave her a little ponytail nothing else seems to work with her at all.

Then I was talking to my friend Mandy who had gotten a DD Sister Nanami. I saw her orginally but just passed her up as she just wasnt quite cute enough I thought. Then I came across a repaint of the Nanami where they had given her a little open mouth. I loved how much it changed her face so after looking around I found that We love dolls still had one in stock. So she ended up coming home to me.
Again this girl I just call Nanami for right now. This is her default wig but I changed her eyes. Im not sure if their going to stay purple, but I like the shape of them in her. I love her little pig tails. Im going to paint her mouth to be a little open as I like that look alot and I think the rest of her facepaint is fine.
Heres also a few little things I knitted up for them. You can see also on Heathers blog the finished sweater here on her doll Pidge.
I also got some of the volks "large" hands. When I first looked at these I went holy crap these are massive but then I started to look at certain things. Saber has a large head compared to Nanami so when holding the hands to the face you can see it proportionally fits in covering her face. I actually always felt DDs hands were small to begin with, but if they are on a doll with a small head I think its going to make it look off.

So after all this I keep feeling like I want to own a million DD's but then I sat down and looked at the face's and realized there was alot of them I dont like. So I have decided that 5 is the most Im going to have.

I actually love Pidge so much and we were trying all these wigs on her and shes so cute in all of them that I was just going to buy her even though her price is high. Then Heather showed me that Volks for probably the next event is re-releasing the Mariko but this time in a Semi-white skin. I am so happy, so Im keeping my fingers crossed I can bring this girl home.
