Hello from Canada
Posted: Mon May 09, 2011 11:08 amHello everyone. I have been reading all sorts of interesting bits on your board for a couple of weeks now, but it was the sewing machine review by victoriavictrix (which had me laughing so hard, I was crying) that convinced me to sign up.
I work full time, have a husband, four girls, three guinea pigs, a budgie and fish. Besides dolls, I like cooking and baking, reading, gardening, sudoku, House and Dr. Who (actually, I'm sure that I'm forgetting something, but, so be it).
I have loved dolls since I was little. As a child, I thought it would be interesting to try and make a porcelain one, but we couldn't afford that. I DID try making one using air drying clay, but I have no idea what happened to him......
Anyway, my favourite dolls are 1/6 or playscale, and of those, I tend to prefer play line dolls (what good is a doll if it's locked away in a box?). I have a ton of Mattel dolls simply because they are what were available for the longest time. I also have a couple of Sindy dolls (my best friend had those when we were young), assorted items from Jakks Pacific, the odd Bratz (only because they were in the lots that I was after). I also have one 1/6 Obitsu and one Dollfie, but I keep them out of reach of the girls; one Mozie Teenz Bijou, because she reminded me so much of my third daughter, and a growing collection of LIV girls.
My favourite dolls at the moment are the LIV girls - they are the closest I can currently get to BJD within budget - but that works out well, because when I have time, my girls and I get to play with our dolliehs (Grandma got them each a LIV girl for Easter).
I know the interest I forgot - it's sewing (I don't know how I could have forgotten that as the combination of dolls and sewing are what led me here in the first place)!
Goodness, this is long winded! I should probably stop now. Thank you for letting me join - I look forward to learning a lot here.
