Dollies!!! (and more~~~!)

So, I thought I'd actually do some doll stuff instead of lazing around all day like I usually do! I took pictures, and today- unlike most of the time- I will ACTUALLY show them! :o Shocking, yes.


Without further ado, I would like to begin! X)

Starting from the oldest "new" pictures I needed to show(I took them today, but it's old news), here's my giant way-too-freaking-heavy-hunk-of-metal-that-makes-words machine typewriter! X3 I love it sooo so so so so much! I don't even care if it's not the shiny black "antique" typewriter that I had in my imagination that I've always pined for! This one is AWESOME!!! It even came with type-white! (basically, strips of white out, if you don't know what type white is. ;) It's kind of funny, because on the back of the plastic holder for the strips, it says, "Copyright 1966". XD)

"The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma." -Patrick Star, Spongebob Squarepants.  Well, not in this case! There's the ink wheels and the keys(the long things that- if you look closely- have little "keys" on the end). I love figuring out how things work, so this fascinates me. ;)

Kanani's new wig! X3 IT'S SO PRETTY!!! CX


Yumie spam!

Here's Yumie's new wig! :D It sure is purty. c:

This is sideways, but, uh... it shows how long her wig is! ^^;"

So, I never showed you guys her dragon tattoo, so, yeah... Oh, and the reason why her hand is missing is because it fell off. I already ordered an obitsu a while ago, so it should be coming soon. (^_^;)"

Takin' a nap~ Aww... c:

Yumie holdin' mah pocketwatch. X) I love that thing soo much(the watch, not the doll. Well, I love her too- you know what I mean. -_-)

Close up on the watch (If you'll take a closer look, a) you can see straight through the watch to her dress because it's totally amazing, and b) her hand is grey-ish because I-don't-know-why. She came like that, and it really bothers me, so that's another reason why I bought her a new body.)

My watchy buddy. :D Whenever I leave the house I have this in my pocket. (This is probably one of my favourite birthday presents ever; and yes, I have gotten AG dolls as b-day presents before(actually, 1/3 of my dolls I got for my birthday!), but I take this EVERYWHERE, and I get tons of use out of it, and I <3 clocks sooo much, so... ^^;" Don't hate me.)

Guess what? It even has a STAND! *O* Now THAT is a classy pocketwatch if I've ever seen one!

 Oh, and sometime last week, I put the green wig I bought in December for a future custom doll on Yumie. It's a little big, but she looks so pretty!

 Emo hair. XD I was kind of blocking her light... (._. )

Here's that wig I mentioned that is also shown above! >:3


There, that should have caught everything up! I mean, not EVERYTHING, but still...


Also, while this is a picture post and I'm on the topic, I will be selling Chrissa, so I'll be giving her a "Moving away/goodbye" photostory and a "last hurrah" post containing every picture I have EVER taken of Chrissa. :'( I'm going to be really sad to see her go, but... I'm going to AG Place St. Louis sometime this month, and I wanted to have enough money to buy a new doll(or two!) and some outfits. Currently, I have $84 saved up, but I need about $13 to buy a new book on the 24th, so I would not have enough at all. 


Anyway, my point is, I'm selling Chrissa, I'm really sad about that, I'm buying a new doll, and I'm possibly getting new outfits. ;) I was going to also sell some other doll stuff I never use (like a doll salon chair that kind of sucks), so my $$$ may increase by anywhere from $100- $150 more than I have now, so I'll have to start planning what I will buy! X3


So... What did you think of this post? Did you like it much better than all the posts I regularly do? Do you want me to do more posts like this in the future? Just give me feedback! I can do more posts like these since I finally switched over to the new Blogger set-up (... I was sooo confused at first... XD I'm stuck in my ways! Lol) so just tell me what you want to see! Again, I can tell you more about the stuff shown here, I can show you more pictures (if you want me to show you more details of the stuff I showed here) anything! I might even start doing that 30 Day photo challenge before the summer ends... >:3


Peace!

Why I totally love England.

*This is the story of the day I actually did something super duper productive*

Alright. So, today my dad and I were out shopping at an international food market. They have different sections for food that's from different countries, and I, being like, TOTALLY in love with anything from England(or Canada, for that matter. ;D) wanted to go to the English section; mostly because they have Canadian chocolate bars that aren't sold in the US(such as better tasting KitKats, Aero Bars, and Mars Bars). But, I found some lemon curd! 8D So I was like, "OMGZ WE HAS TO GET THIS!!!" because it's like, totally awesome.

Since I wasn't really feeling in the mood to just eat the awesome imported spread with a spoon(which I still did anyway. XD) I thought, "Hey, why don't I make scones?" So, about 2 hours later, I was in the kitchen and actually making some scones. (Hey, I know this whole thing may be like, super-duper-ultra-boring so far, but I spent like, two hours doing everything, and I haven't baked scones before, and for me, this was a practically life-changing event.)

While my scones were in the oven, I had the idea of making tea so I could be having English food; which was a pretty fruking(don't ask) awesome idea. (Despite the fact that all the countries in Hetalia say England's scones suck. XD But nobody mentioned the tea being terrible, and I like tea, so I thought, "Why not?") And to say the least, the whole process was interesting...

Now, for the revealing of it all...

This, my dear readers, is what two hours of work and standing to make authentic English food looks like. I made everything in the picture, except for the cookies(which I didn't eat at all) and the lemon curd, which we bought. Oh, and the scones probably look weird because they're brushed with egg yolk, but I don't really care. If they taste delicious(in my opinion), does appearance REALLY matter? XD But, anyway, I used our fine china, because I wanted it to be all special, considering I haven't had tea in two years. D:

The cream and sugar dishes. :D I even got a sugar spoon, so I'm pretty proud of myself. *is pretty proud*

Yum. Lemon curd... And I know it may not LOOK appetizing, but trust me. This stuff is AWESOME.

And last, but not least, my tea. It was AMAZING. In fact, I had about seven cups of tea today JUST because it was so awesome. 8D

And this, is why I totally love England; not the character. (Although, for the record, I do like England in Hetalia... ;D)

So, did you guys do anything that you're proud of lately? :D

~Miranda

P.S. Because I loved this food SOOO much(oh, the irony...), and it's all relatively easy to make, I decided that I'm going to have tea and scones for breakfast every day now. :) It's better than having a bowl of cereal every day, to say the least...

P.P.S. I'm considering changing Willow's last name from Pine to Lane... What do YOU think? D:

It's over?!

There it goes. 2011's gone, people. Today's the LAST day of the year! I didn't really accomplish ANYTHING that I planned to do, but there ARE some little things that happened to me along the way!

Here, I'll list some. ;D

1. I became an otaku(look it up.)
2. I got three new dolls(Willow, Kanani, and Kylie)
3. I became OBSSESSED with the Kingdom Hearts games!!! :D (Not that I wasn't aware of them before, but then I PLAYED the games... :o)
4. I got my first Pullip, Dal, and Taeyang(I N-E-E-D to post pictures of them, but my profile picture is of my Dal's shoes. :) )
5. I got a camera this year.
6. I started writing a book
7. I got a YouTube and posted two terrible videos in which I sound like a boy. XD
8. I started watching anime and reading manga
9. I got rid of Lanie's dictatorship over my doll town and now all is calm.
10. Caitlin's wig(Kylie's BFF that I will make next year. She's another custom doll. ;D)
11. I got my saxophone this year. (:D)
12. I now am the proud owner of an iPod touch.
13. I FINALLY became the age of the number of this fact of 2011.
14. I learned to never, EVER drink a full bottle of sparkling white grape juice on New Year's Eve AGAIN.

Thank you for reading this, because after tonight where I get "drunk" (yeah, not really, but last year I just felt kind of tipsy. XD) on sparkling NON-ALCOHOLIC white grape juice, I probably will be working on my school projects and book...

Well, happy new year! May this year we will be entering in a few hours bring many new dolls for all of you!(and McKenna's new bed and pajamas, if you've seen how AWESOME they are! :D)
