Of new arrivals and a bit of splurging

Because of my tax returns I could finally pay up on this cutie patootie from a friend of mine in the Netherlands. He was just too adorable, those chubby little cheeks, button nose and pouty lips, couldn't stand for it! When I expressed my interest they were so grand as to hold him for me and said I could take as long as I needed to pay them. Hadn't expected to have him home for some 2-3 more months, but hey, luck shone my way :D
Also went ahead and splurged on some clothing, eyes and a wig for him, though all of it won't arrive before who knows when exactly. The clothing was some 5-8 weeks, eyes are little over a month perhaps two, and the wig 1-2 weeks tops. Waiting times aside it needed home nonetheless! This little guy, if all goes according to plan, should arrive home next week at some point. Can't wait to greet him and have him meet all of his new little friends along with everyone else here! Precious little ankle biter ♥

Merida of Dun Broch

After having watched Brave a handful of times back when it got up on NF I started getting the idea to find a suiting sculpt for Merida. This idea grew until I started looking around for an actual sculpt as well and some 3-4 months back I also found one. An AngellStudio Dana which with a few modifications here and there will be just perfect in my eyes as the 16 year old fiery redheaded wee lass, Princess Merida of Dun Broch. Going to sand down her nose to make it more button like, lips needs to be rounded off some more and her eyes needs opening.

Her eyes, which are already on their way, are from Mako and from their Owl series. Found the most perfect wig at etsy which are also well on it's way here.

 

First time ever that I've felt excited about getting home a girl and she will get to be the only one, any other girl dolls I see I just want to put their heads on a male body xD
