I Need a Doctor!

... here I am, with my tail between my legs... I know, I know... haven't been very active on the blog scene, but alas I'm here now ha HA! It's been six long months since I've produced anything, no real reason why, perhaps just a bit of malaise. BUT... revel in the dark as it makes the light so much more joyous or whatever... lol.

Anyway, came down with a nasty cold(thanks TRDN), and have been out of commission for a few days. As I lay in my chair watching TV, this diorama was giving me the evil eye as it's been languishing on the shop table for literally months. So, I got my little paint brush out and gave it a good dusting, added a few details and started clicking away the digital camera. I got a little inspiration for this this past Saturday when BBC America played the entire Series 5 of the modern Doctor Who.. and with this dumb cold, I sure could use a Doctor!

I was hoping to have made a tiny Tardis police box by now, but here we are. Enjoy

Flying the Tardis! SZhooVA...SZhooVA...SZhooVA!

Sonic Screw Driver!

Companions Suzie and Poe

What would the Tardis be without The Doctor?

It's bigger on the inside!

In case you were wondering: Suzie's wig: made by TRDN, Poe: A GI Joe Clone head on a Flava's body, Tardis Console: a pie dish, with a bud vase, and all kinds of doo dads hot glued on, lighting is from IKEA from assorted times, floor: IKEA shelf liner, coat rack: Gloria, painted, Chairs: off of ebay, and all kinds of things, but those are the unique things!

Eat your Cake and Have it Too... Isha (and Kiana) Take the Cake

Hey look at me... two months and two posts! Still been busy spending time with my mom as she continues her recovery. I was able to knock this up though. Here I get to show off some Re-Ment pieces I bought over the winter holiday. Additionally TRDN ooak'd the little wedding cake on the table. Here's a cute little bakery that Isha and Kiana wandered into one day. Perhaps Isha was celebrating Mother's Day. Isha can be very secretive about her personal life though, so who knows.... actually who cares, they're dolls, HA! -enjoy

oooooo, cake!

April Showers....

... so I'm stuck in the house on this glorious rainy day, and I thought, hey don't I have a blog? Sure I do and why don't I get my lazy me in gear and take a picture or two... I hope my visitors and 63 fans haven't given up on me! 2010 has been a year of blessings so far. My mom is slowly getting better, I've started a new career path and I've decided to pare down my belongings to the essentials. Very hard to do when collecting teeny tiny doll things is your hobby of choice. Anyway, this door and outfit were some of my Christmas presents from the Real Doll Nerd! Just a little fashion photography to get me back in the saddle. The door is from the Buyers Choice collection of accessories, and the gown is classic Oscar de la Renta from the 80's. Just one photo for now...-Enjoy!

Happy New Year(late)/ It Runs In the Family

HI Everyone! Today, I finally feel like the Holidays are over, I guess I'm a month behind. My mom's doing much better and is making a slow recovery, but it's still a recovery! I've been spending a lot of my free time with her, so no time for blogging! Anyway, my sister hosted a really enjoyable Christmas lunch. I took some pics of her decorations. I thought these might brighten everyone's day, now that we're in the deepest darkest part of winter. As you can see, the love of dolls run in the family. Enjoy!

P.S. I just crossed my year anniversary of blogging! More than 6,000 hits! Thanks for everyone's support.

Festival of Light

Happy happy everybody! I can't believe my last entry was way back in October. Since then, my mother's health has been critical. A second open heart surgery and lots of prayers later, she's finally on the mend!

I put together these photos to celebrate and honor Hanukkah and the winter solstice. Enjoy!

Don't Be Scurred

I couldn't let Halloween pass without a post! Back in the summer, I had a really great idea for a month of Halloween posts, but it didn't happen like I'd hoped. I was gladly giving my spare time and energy helping my mom recuperate. She's doing better by the way : )

I did have time to whip these photos together. Enjoy.

Dan, I won't be ignored....

Guess who?

Putting on her face for a night out....

Hope it's not too dark!

Slow Progress is Still Progress!

Whew! It was a challenging September for me personally; my family and I saw our mother through open heart surgery. She survived the surgery, and recovery is slow, but she is recovering. I titled this post as it relates to my little master suite, but I realize it's also very appropriate with regard to my mom.

Here are some pics of the progress so far, just a little ways to go now. Hopefully that sentiment carries through to other parts of my life. Get well soon Mommy. Enjoy.

Isha and Pierre, the first dolls who came to live at the Super Cool Doll House settle into their new room.

Stay tuned for more details!

Slowly But Surely

... so I've been able to slowly work on my latest room. Here is a preliminary picture of the space... pretty good if I do say so myself : ) This will be the master suite at the Super Cool Doll House.

-enjoy!

p.s. I may be a little short on posts this month... I'll be spending time with family.

New Room a Comin'

So I've been quite the sloppy blogger lately. I usually try to post at least once a week, but this past August, I've found myself busying myself with enjoyable yet mindless pursuits. I have found time to build a new room, I just have to get to the finishing touches. Here's a picture of the progress so far. Hope I have something SuperCool to show you next week!

Dedicated to the Best Kitty Ever

Nine years ago when I left my folks house, I decided I'd like to have a kitty live with me (and my roommate and her cat). After weeks of meeting all the different cats in the Baltimore area, I met my little Lola. The BEST KITTY EVER. She was a buff colored sweetheart who loved people, was so gentle and made my life just a little sweeter. When I moved from my apartment and coudn't keep her anymore, my sister and her fiance adopted her and gave her a life she so well deserved. She had a huge house to run around in, she spent weekends at the shore, and was cared for so well. This past weekend, we all had to say goodbye to little Lola, she fell ill and wasn't able to recover. We don't know how old she really was, but for at least eight years she was showered with affection and she repaid it tenfold. This post is dedicated to the little angel who will always be with us. Enjoy.

Boudoir

...and I'm back. After a much needed sabbatical, I got it in gear and did a new room! When I received my Dynamite TJs, I decided they needed to take up residence in the Super Cool Doll House. I think they're as stunning(despite the lack of quality control at Integrity, more on this later) as any FR lady. So, for the first bedroom of the Super Cool Doll House, I give you the TJs boudoir. You may have remembered I absolutely abhor the color pink, BUT, as I was looking through some interior design mags, I saw this color combination and I loved it. To ammend, I like pink when it's done right. I hope I did it right. Enjoy!

College room mates TJ and TJ enjoy their first morning at the Super Cool Doll House.

Even Super Quicker

I'm still on my little dolly sabbatical! I've been working very hard in 1:1 scale (aka real world) and had a sick doggie(that was fun...). Anyway, I thought I'd put some pics up of my little mini-me, I took these awhile back. You may have wondered who the little guys are on my masthead, and even if you haven't wondered, I'm telling you anywayz : ) The little guy is Tao-tao, and the the gal is Tanpopo. These two started life as Jun-Planning Ai dolls. Here's a link to their page on the company website. These dolls have the oddest expressions, like a baby with an old soul. I gave Tanpopo to TheRealDollNerd for Christmas 2007, and he gave me one for my birthday, a few days later.

I'm a winter holiday baby... if you ever have a baby during this time, don't tell them the Christmas party is for them and that the fireworks at the New Year are part of their birthday celebration. Do however, buy them special birthday wrapping paper, buy actual birthday gifts (not a Christmas/Birthday gift, I've done the math, it's never the same as two gifts), and celebrate their birthday as it's own special thing... Geez, I need to go talk to someone about this.... I've digressed.

Anyway, little Tao-tao is my lil' avatar. He's not in 1:6 scale, or any scale I can readily discern. He gets to have all the non 1:6 scale miniatures that come my way. Great fun! One day I'll have a little house for him that's full of funny little things that are just a touch out of scale... but let me run through my 1:6 obession first... enjoy!

Super Model

Hey dummy, time to go save the Earth! *

The little Doctor and Companion *

* Finally, tonight, BBC America will start broadcasting Torchwood series 3! So, I threw a few Doctor Who/Torchwood references in for good measure....

...and here's a link to a crappy little movie I made called "Dalek in the Tardis." What great fun I have.

Super Quick

This week's post is a Super Quickie. I've been feeling a little burnt out, so I'm taking a well deserved rest. I thought I'd revisit the Super Cool Kitchen, and display my two newest chicks. The Dynamite Girls' Valentine TJs! Ever since I saw them in a photo shoot in Haute Doll, April 2009, I thought they were super hot. Quite recently I got bitten by the shopping bug and decided they needed to come live at the Super Cool Doll House. (along with Darius and Lucas) I was surprised I'd dig them so much as they aren't from the Fashion Royalty line. (If you haven't noticed I have a little OCD when it comes to pairs and sets....) But they are Jason Wu, so I guess it's okay. These two are really fun, they are shorter than the FR ladies and not as busty, so they can wear all those cute Barbie things I hang on to. Anyway, enjoy!

Tara Jean and Terry Jane look at the floor plans for their bedroom at the Super Cool Doll House. (I'm actually trying to build them a room! Stay tuned...)

Gone Fishin'

The festivities of this past weekend (Independence Day) made it very clear that summer is definitely here. It got me to thinking of the days when I was still in school and had an entire 3 months off for vacation. All that time wasted on a child. What would I do with that time now? Easy, I'd go fishing.... that's not a waste of time. Here's Lucas and Darius, my two newest enjoying life on a pier by the Super Cool bay. To see more of my pictures visit my Flickr photostream. Enjoy.
