Feeling Like Fall

 I haven't been in the mood to play with my dolls much at all lately, but today I got the urge to get Lucy out and put her in some fall knits to get some photos. Lucy was the first doll I purchased in this size, and I still love her face.

She's wearing a combo mix and match fashion. Her sweater is from SJ, hat and jewelry from Iplehouse and turtleneck from Raccoon Doll.

Jeans are from an online seamstress that I can't recall the name of at present.

Maybe the cooler fall days will inspire me to get more dolls out for some photos in coming days. Fall is my favorite time of the year.

Cali Redress

 Some new pics of Cali, just because she finally got out of winter clothes and dressed for spring.

This SartoriaJ dress is a tad big in the bust area, as Cali is on the slim small bust FID body. I think she still makes it work.

Winter Knits

 Long time, no post. I hope to remedy that in 2024, and become more active on my blogs again.  Today was a first step. I took some time to play a bit with a couple of my Iple FID's today, for the first time in quite a while. We were talking about knits for dolls on Resin Antics, one of the Doll Forums I  hang out on, and it spurred me to get out this knit set I purchased a long time ago for my CED dolls actually, out and try it on my FID's.  Maeve (my FID Mari) was happy to model. She is wearing a custom wig I had ordered for her from Chewin that I hadn't gotten around to photographing yet.

I couldn't leave the men out of playtime. While I didn't succumb to the temptation to order a new doll from Iplehouse during their holiday sale in 2023,  I did decide to get this outfit for my FID men that I had been eyeing since it was 30% off. Declan (FID Leonard) agreed to model for me.

I imagine the coat would fit a tad more comfortably on the model body. Declan has the muscle body, but it still works. The sleeves of the turtleneck bunched up a bit, and that hindered the fit across the shoulders as well. I think it still looks great on him, and am happy with my purchase.

And one last shot of Declan, as Leonard's sculpt is one of my favorites.

By the Light of the Moon

 Kieran (my SJ Jarrad) got a new wig in from Chewin, so some new photos were in order. I wish I could get Chewin's wigs for all my guys! They are wonderful works of art.

And so much more realistic looking than any other wigs you can get (especially for the men) in this size. Love the widow's peak in this one.

I also got a new background in from China and with the moon in the background, thought it was perfect for my group of "shifters".

Declan

 Declan was one of my first FID sized dolls to make his way here ,and he's still a favorite. Have to admit, I really love the Leonard sculpt.

His wig is by Chewin. If I could have a Chewin wig for every single one of my guys I would. Good short hair is so hard for the dolls this sized, well for dolls in any size really, but this size is especially challenging. I love my Chewin wigs that I own.

More of Ygritte

 I took some new photos of Ygritte (SJ 45Aphrodite Yvonne) this morning. So glad I caved at the last minute and added this one before she was gone. Yvonne is my favorite SJ female sculpt I think. I have her head in the larger size too and love her.

She's modeling one of the outfits I got in the Christmas sale from SJ. The tank was horrible to get on. The "stretch" was pushed to the limit trying to get it over those hips of hers. All in all though, I like the Aprhodite body more than I thought I would.

And a close up shot of her beautiful face.

First Signs of Spring

 Took Joshua outside for some new pics as I haven't done much with my resin crew recently. Some spring green peeking through the bushes. I'm so ready for spring.

Thought I better get some shots of someone in the turtleneck I got in the Christmas sale at SJ before it is too warm for it. Not that the dolls care, but I dress the dolls by our seasons.
