Blythe resolutions & belated pictures

I am sorry for how long it has taken me to update this little space finally... 

What to say? Other things were more important for me... like a new job... my family... and so the poor little Blythe dolls stood in the Billy shelf and were covered with dust. 

Meanwhile 2018 appeared and a new year is useful for some kinda dolly-resolutions:

1. Write at least one blog post each month

2. Search for themes to take special pics 

3. Take really good pictures of the dolls with my Canon

4. Make more stuff for the dolls

5. Order more accessories, like shoes, stockings, hats, glases...

Despite my lack of posting here I haven't totally stopped playing with the dolls... or making things for them... or taking pics... sometimes :D

Here are some from a calm walk I made with Andrea in July last year. We visited Schönower Heide near to Berlin and it was so relaxing and enchanted... Just me and my doll and the nature *sigh*

I hope you all had a fantastic start into 2018?!

Yours, Nicola

Indigo discovers Prenzlauer Berg

My latest attempt to connect Blythe and Berlin led Indigo and me to a nice part of 

Prenzlauer Berg around the Kollwitzplatz/Kollwitzplace, the so called Kollwitzkiez.

This quarter is known for lots of families and nice shops. If you want to be hip & cool, you also raise some kids and your income is high enough, you have to move to this part of Berlin ;) 

Indigo wanted to play with the kids on the playground but I wasn't sure if she would survive!

 

We really liked these simple doll houses and also the cute Lotte Sievers-Hahn doll house dolls. Unfortunately too small for Blythe sized dolls!

Sure, you also can buy nice fashion and other cool stuff here! This shop was called: 

In bester Gesellschaft - To be in good company. A nice corner for crafty people, because they can rent a little space to showcase & sell their self made designs.

Also absolutely interesting: Der große Wasserspeicher - The big water reservoir at the Belforter street! Indigo wanted to rent a flat here :D

One of the shops which reminded me a lot of my little shop Püppilottchen: 

Die Kinderstube - The nursery

 

I had a nice little chat with the shop owner and meanwhile Indigo was trying some Blythe sized furniture from Maileg, Denmark. So very awesome and well made! If you are interested in more please check the Maileg homepage. Some of these cute furniture are really perfect for Blythe dolls and I am sure the Dollily dolls need some of them for the new life in Berlin soon :)

Noemi - Dollily custom No. 8

My latest custom Noemi:

Noemi is looking for a new Mummy

FA is my OOAK Blythe custom. (Dollily custom No. 8) made by me Her base doll was a Fruit Punch in perfect condition. Her face mold is EBL and I think she has a kind of cheeky but shy & sweet personality. It´s really hard to part with her! She is made with great love and care.

Work I have done:
- Face plate sanded
- Carved lips, nostrils and philtrum and re-shaped nose
- Eyes boggled, gaze corrected and sleep-eyes
- She still owns her lovely EBL eyelashes and three of her original eyechips (orange, green and blue). One pair of eyechips was changed with Cool cat eyechips in beautiful dark blue
- Her eyemech works smooth with all her original eyechips, but it needs a little help with the new pair of eyechips – just a little push with your fingers
- Complete new face up with artist pastels and sealed with MSC matte
- Handmade new pullstrings in neon green with some sweet pearls and her original pullring on the other string
- Cut and corrected her fringe and bob

She comes with her original Blythe body and I will send her with one of my selfmade Dollily dresses. She will travel in her original Blythe box wrapped safely! 

Shipping costs DHL parcel (insured):
Germany: 6 € 
Member countries of the EU: 15 €
Insured shipping to the USA and the most other worldwide countries: 34 € 

I can ship her uninsured (on your own risk!!) This will be 6,- € world wide. 

Please ask for shipping costs or anything else, if you are not sure. Thank you! 

I’m asking $ 345,- or 275,- € (payment Paypal, I will accept bank transfer in Germany or other EU countries). No layaway, please only serious buyers! SOLD - Thank you :)

Dollily - Blythe fashion & customs

The last two months I was really busy with Blythe :) 

I finished three customs (one of them an Icy doll - Blythe clone):

Made a design for a sweet knitted dress with striped sleeves...

And sewed also some cute babydoll dresses from an awesome vintage 60s fabric I had in my stash. Wanted to do this for long... Yes, and also crocheted some Blythe bear helmets!

I'm pretty happy with the outcome! Next project I'm working on is a complete outfit with a "the little red riding hood" -theme... But more about this later ;)

A few of the things shown here are available in my little etsy shop: Dollily fashion for Blythe - Some already sold, sorry!

Hugs, yours Nicola
