My Dolly Blog

One of the fun things in this hobby is the many ways you can express your creativity. It’s a miniature world and the center of it, a dolly, needs a place to rest her head.

Enter, the dolly room. There are a few artisans out there that can make a complete miniature set up with everything a doll could want and need. No building permits necessary. The expense in materials is much more doable and your dolly could have her very own dream room, (or home.)

This beautiful room is created by Bimba Bambolina. I was lucky enough to get this in a trade with a client who wanted custom work done. I don’t use it often but every once in a while I like to take it out and pose my dolls in it.

Every little detail is thought of. There’s books, knick knacks and even tiny pencils. This room has cute bird house lights that actually light up!

I met another doll collector online today that also makes fun miniatures and room furnishings. Check out her blog!

I wouldn’t mind if she hung around for a while but a las I must offer her up in the world and allow her to fly if she wishes.

I even found a cute dress for her to wear. I think it goes well with her coloring.

Her hair is heat resistant so it may be fun to style more and play with.

If you think you would like to take her home, I’ve listed her in my Etsy Shop

She’s just about finished. A quick post about Petal. I plan to list her and will update when I do. But for now, it’s time to just introduce her.

She started off as Charlotte Fleur. I got her without her scalp and dome so I went shopping for hair. I don’t like to do re-roots anymore and will do anything get out of doing a re-root. I do love the look of the natural fibers like alpaca and mohair so sometimes I’m able to trade services for one. In fact, for this girl I thought I’d have some gorgeous wool hair for her and sent it off for a trade but the person who I sent it to hasn’t had a chance to get to it yet. So… that meant trying something else. There’s this Etsy shop that sells some interesting scalps. I had my eye on this pastel bob for a while.

It reminds me of Hydrangeas we have around the neighborhood. They grow so well here and I love the way they go from pink to blue. I thought of naming her Hydrangea but decided on Petal.  I’d like to say it was her that told me her name but I think the eye chips might have had something to do with it.

These beautiful chips by Irene Garcia, aka Ig Sirenita really make her special. I hate to sacrifice them on a doll I’m going to let fly the coop but they were so perfect for her.

More on Petal later including where to get her. For now, I want to just enjoy her flowery goodness!
