Dining Room Redo!

Ok so this is what I look at everynight while I do dishes. Boring!!! I had just found a couple of things that we had bought in Japan but had nowhere to put them so I thought hey I could redo the dining room with all this stuff!

Now! Ta da! And I didn't spend a dime to do this because this was all stuff that we already had. I actually have spent a little bit of money since I did this though. I bought a Betta fish and a lucky bamboo plant. Oh plus I redid some pot holders to match the Asian theme.

Updates!

Ok well I didn't get a new doll. :( But I did get a new table. Kinda.

It's actually a pool table that I bought for my Hubby for his birthday! :)

(Sorry for all the clutter in the background. But you get to see one of our 3 guinea pigs!)

One thing that I did get though is new Dolly Dolly magazine. I've been collecting them since we were in Japan and I managed to find all of the back issues while we were there and got up to issue 14 before we left so I just got issue #15. Yay!!!

Pining away for a new doll!

Well we got our income tax money and so now I've been wanting to order a new doll. But which one to choose. Our income tax money is mostly gone on bills and tires and such but I think I should at least get just one before it's all gone.

Which one to choose though since they are all so great!

First there's Delilah Noir Dark and Difiant!

I absolutely love her outfit and her pink and black hair!

$125.00 on Ebay

Next up we have Ellowyn Wilde Moody Blues

Just love her black curly ringlets and her expression. I've been wanting to get an Ellowyne doll even longer than a Delilah Noir doll.

$129.00

And my third choice is an Ellowyne Wilde basic doll.

I love her hair and since she's a basic doll I could put to use a couple of patterns that I have for her out of my doll magazine collection. Plus the price is great at only $74.00.

Oh the agony! How can I choose just one!

Happy Groundhogs Day!

Well I haven't been getting very much sewing done lately but I did just finish up this little guy for Groundhogs day. This is the second crochet along that I have done and I must say I'm much happier with the way this one turned out than the last one. :)

New Dolls!

Hey Everyone! So sorry that I didn't get to finish my 31 dolls for Halloween. I should've known better than to try that with my husband coming home and upcoming trips. Maybe I can try again next year. We had a great time at Disney! Sorry for the lack of pictures. I'll try to get up at least a couple soon. Also last week we went to Knott's Berry Farm (one more place knocked off of our have to go to list before we get transferred from San Diego). Love, love, love the rollercoasters there!!!! Awesome! They have a special going on right now where a military member and a guest get in for FREE and up to 6 more people for only $15 each, so since our daughter was the only one we had to pay for it only cost us the gas and $15 to go! Couldn't pass up a deal like that! Anyway at the end of the day we decided to do a little browsing in some of the cute stores they have there and wouldn't you know they had one full of dolls. Unfortunately we are really broke right now and most of the dolls were around $100 but then I saw this little sweetie and couldn't belive she was only $32.99 so I couldn't resist she just had to come home with me. Plus I got the other tiny little 5" doll for only $6.00. Woohoo! They are both porcelain which I don't usually collect but I just couldn't resist their sweet little faces. :)

Halloween Dolls #14, 15, & 16

It's a trio of Nightmare Before Christmas Dollcena Dolls!

1st up we have Dandy Pumpkin Great

the middle doll is Pure Patchwork

and the last one is What is Christmas?!

Very very early Friday morning we are going to Disneyland for 3 days so I might possibly come back with another Halloween themed doll to show you. We are really happy to be going to Disney during Halloween! The Halloween decorations, food and of course the rides are going to be awesome! The first rides on the agenda are Space Mountain, The Haunted Mansion, The Tower of Terror, Finding Nemo's Sub, and Toy Story! Yea!!! We will also be taking a ton of pictures and trying as many of the special holiday treats as we can. :)

Halloween Dolls #12 & 13

Disney's Halloween Dollcena dolls by Tomy

Flying Witch Cat & Bat in the Dots

These were the last two Dollcena dolls that I was able to get from Toys R'Us in Japan before we transferred. I'm so glad that we were there long enough to get these two cuties!

Here's a link to a gallery of all of the Dollcena dolls. I'm missing 12 of them. Guess I need to get busy ordering them before the prices start going up more.
