Plannings and Research and Shopping, OHMAIH!~

So, yesterday, before bed, I made myself a chart. On this chart, it lists my dolls and the dolls on my Wish Lyst', their informations, and names to be. I also listed them in order of importance. >w< (Sound familiar BJDs for Beginners readers?)
'Click' to read.
So far, I am doing rather well according to BJD owners who have been at this hobby longer than I... I only bought two dolls this year... Most of them bought two in the first week! >w< Lol. And then went on to buy six more within a year of those two! >w< It's crazy!! I can understand a lot of the elder BJD owners being able to afford them all, but the younger ones? How do they manage? Do they receive them as gifts or what? Because there are a few girls a little older than I with 8-12 dolls already... And they've only been at this hobby for 4 years... I've been at it for 8... Kind of... Lol. Only a few months if you want to count actually owning a doll. >w< But 8 years with being infatuated with the wonders that are ABJDs.

FINALLY~ got that pajama set done... I need to alter my pants pattern. :\ They're a little too tight, in fleece at least. Maybe stretchy fabric would work, but definitely not fleece. >w< Even though they look absolutely AWFUL, I'll post my picture so you can all laugh with me. Lol.

C.C. modelling the PJs. Excuse the baldness.
So yeah, a LITTLE tight, but at least I know I can fix it. :) Got some stockings done today too, black ones. Pain in the butt to sew with not enough light, but still lovely nonetheless. Going to finish the white ones and move onto T-Shirts and bottoms (pants/skirts... Idk which) tomorrow. I really DO think I can get all these done and photographed by May 1st. It might be a challenge with Mister I Only Nap For 10 Minutes Once a Day Now, but I still think I will be able to do it, especially if I sew after he goes to bed for the night. I can't sleep as it is, why not make something of that time? Lol. (Normally I'm too tired, and really, I am, but I need to kick my butt in gear.)

Shopping again today. -.- I'm so TIRED of shopping. Lol. I get too fidgety with Kole at restaurants and such... I enjoy a normal routine... However, it's for my sister's prom and she needed my opinion... Plus Mima wanted to get me things for my birthday next week... >.> So I got a hat, a headband with a bow, and a new pair of Victorian looking boot-shoes. Lol. High-heels... not something usually worn by myself... But I liked them too much to pass them up, AND they were on sale! >w< Lol. Who passes up a sale on shoes they absolutely love? Lol. (Normally, ME...)

Spring Semester is ending soon and I'm already nervous for the start of Fall... I think it begins on August 27th... But still... I'm afraid of failing math... Or worse... Chinese!!! O.O I keep looking for reference things on Chinese/Mandarin, but I can't find anything that DOESN'T resemble my text book. -.- There's one book I DID find, but only in Japanese, Spanish, Ingles, Arabic, German, and French... Chinese was sold out... -.- My luck, huh? It's alright though, I'll check again next time... Like I always do... (I don't get to the bookstore much and Chinese is popular right now...) I just hope I can be fluent one day... And I really want to teach Kole too... I want him to be at least bi-lingual before school, give him a little jump-start on things. (I hope to go to China one day, so it might come in handy too.)

Ahh well, enough stressing... Kole's asleep... I should go sew some more... Then pass out myself... I'm always so tired anymore. :\ I can't sleep at night... :\ *sigh*

20-some items to go... 12 days, is it? Hell, I'm sewing every moment I can! >.< Why did I attempt this? In what way was it a good idea?? -.- Maybe it will all work out... Hopefully... Or I can just open the store with what I have on May 1st, and then add to it as the days go by... Either way, it'll be open on May 1st... I know it!! :)

WISH ME LUCK~! :D

Success!!

C.C. in her new pajama top.
YES! TODAY WAS AWESOME!!! >w<

Camera?
CHECK!

Memory Card?
CHECK!

Pajama Shirt?
CHECK!

Pictures taken?
CHECK!

I'm so thrilled to actually say that I have completed the pajama shirt I have been sewing by hand for the past 4 days. :) I even put it on C.C. for her to model with her bedhead wig. >w< It doesn't go with her hair, but you get the idea. Lol. She actually looks kind of cute, if I do say so myself. >w< I should really make one that goes well with her haircolor and such... Perhaps a bit of lavender or light pink.. Not that C.C. is that kind of girl... I just think she'd look nice in Spring colors. -^_^-

Today was so wonderful, that I even received my package from the amazing elily of Etsy. She did such an amazing job making a variation of her Sweet Strawberry and Pinafore Dress for Littlefee YOSD for "Rolly". So "Rolly" NOW has an amazing outfit waiting for her when she arrives. -^_^- What could be better than that?!

I guess finding out that Justin already has a birthday present for me could count as something better.... >.> It's a small box... I wonder what it could be... >w< Hopefully a charm for my bracelet! >w< I've had it for one year on Mother's Day, but only have 1 charm. I was given 5 charms other than this one, plus bought one for myself, but they all ended up breaking. :( Only MELINA charms seem to withstand the test of time and motherhood. Lol. Kole has even tugged on this charm (a round locket about 1/2in wide/tall) and nothing happened to it!! So I hope it's a charm... And if it is, I hope it's MELINA. >W<

BlueFairy Jr - Choice Leila - B & G
33cm (13.2in)
SO~! I was browsing pictures today and found the cutest set of twin BJD I have ever seen!! >w< So, I
saved the picture, posted it in my BJD group, and asked who they were. But no one knew. All they could tell me was that they were BlueFairy Dolls from Minoru World. Which left me a little closer, but still not yet at what I was looking for... So I hunted... And hunted... And compared... And finally found that they were BlueFairy Junior Choice Leila. -^_^- At an astonishing 33cm (13.2in) in height, they meet my height requirement (I'm too afraid to handle dolls over 50cm), so I added them to my Wish Lyst'. :D Justin says having twin dolls is a good idea. -^_^- Twice the trouble to clothe to keep me twice as occupied. They even come with face-up already included in the price! Saves me the trouble of screwing it up!! >w< Lol.

Well, even though I didn't manage to get everything sewn that I wanted to sew today, I still managed to finish that darn pajama top, so I still feel accomplished. :) I shall tackle stockings and a t-shirt tomorrow, hold me to it!! >w<

20-some items to sew... 15 days to go... I can do this!!! >w<

Wish me luck!!! <3 <3
