Well hello again! It's been a couple of months since my last post. As you probably know, because I've been repeating it ad nauseam, I've been very busy these past months with both school and the internship I'm doing. Luckily, classes are finally over, and I'm just busy with the internship, the "end of studies" project and preparing for my German A2 level exam. Sounds fun, right? Usually, I do these photo compilations every other month with all the photos I've shared on Instagram during that time. But since September, I've barely posted anything, and most of the photos I've shared I took during ..read more

Hello again dolly-friends! Long time, no see. As I mentioned in previous posts, I'm doing an internship with the school, so I work in the mornings and go to class in the afternoons. I had hopes of finding some time here and there to post on the blog, even if it's just some quick posts, but it has been impossible. It just takes all of my time, as I start working at 9 a.m. and finish school at 9 p.m. most days. The only days I have off are the weekends, and those are busy picking up the slack of both school work and house chores. But now I finally have a few days off from school until January 8t ..read more

And, before you know it, it's already September.  I'm so glad that summer and the unbearable heat are going away, and it's finally time for fall, my favorite season. To kick-start the month, let's do a Photo compilation of the photos I've been sharing on Instagram these past two months.  Let's start with two photos that I took during our trip to Vielha, but didn't include in the post. First, this photo of Chloe during our excursion to the Uelhs deth Joèu and Artiga de Lin. I took it at one of the very first spots we found, and I love the result.  Also, this photo of Victoria t ..read more

Hello dolly friends and welcome to a new post from the Travelling Dolls series, a series in which I talk a bit about the story of the places I've visited with the company of my dolls. Last year I wrote the first post in this series when we travelled to Albarracín and I loved having the chance to talk about a place in Spain that maybe isn't as well known to people from other countries. You also seemed to find it very interesting, so I thought it would be interesting to do it again. When we thought about travelling this summer, first we considered going to Vienna, but international travel ..read more

After my last post, I felt the bug to create more backgrounds, so I decided to make yet another back wall. Originally, I wanted to make a geometric design using pastel colors, but I thought it might not be very versatile. So I decided to go with a textured wall. I did make one a couple of years ago, using a very light gray color, and I've been wanting to make a warmer-tone version for quite some time. The process for this wall is very similar to the one in my original post, but I'll still share as much information as I can about the process.  First, we cut and prime our walls. I had alre ..read more

If you were following my blog back in 2020-2021, you might remember a series called Mix and Match backgrounds in which I made interchangeable floors, walls, and accent elements to use as backgrounds for my doll photos. To assemble the scene, I would stick the wall to my craft table's peg wall and set up the scene every time I wanted to take photos. The problem? I use the same table for both craft projects and photos, so if I want to take photos, I need to remove whatever I'm working on. I don't always have time for that, specially during the school year when I've been quite busy (and the ..read more

Hello again! Can you believe it's July already? Where does time go? I have done nothing of what I had planned for before July! Like every other month, it's time for another Photo compilation, the series where I share all the photos I've posted on Instagram, and tell you a little backstory about them, and even sometimes share some behind the scenes photos (once in a blue moon, actually).  Let's start with my favorite photos. I took these photos back in April, during the Easter break, in a nearby town.  Last time we visited this town, I mentioned how cool it would be to take photos the ..read more

Just like I mentioned in my last post, back in April I finished sewing a bikini for my dolls, and I just thought it could be a great idea to share it. As some of you know, I'm not an experienced sewer, so this is by no means a tutorial. But I thought that by sharing my journey, I could get some constructive feedback from my readers who are more experienced sewers, and maybe inspire someone to learn how to sew.  A bikini wasn't exactly what I was planning to sew next, as I already sewed one last year with Atelier ni Shasha. I was feeling a bit lost as to what to sew next, and was to ..read more

Hello again my dear dolly-friends! How are you doing? What a month it has been! I've been so busy with school that I've barely had any time to come to the blogosphere to keep up with your posts, let alone write anything myself, which was expected. My plan was to come back with a proper doll-related post, but I really was too impatient to come back and give you a rundown of what's been going on, that I decided to write this impromptu post. Like I mentioned in my last post, the last few weeks of school we were expecting to have exams and projects at least every week. Well, little did I know ba ..read more

Hello again! Welcome to my 7th post this year and 200th post overall. Today, as every other month, we're doing another Photo compilation, where I share all the photos I've taken for Instagram but haven't been published on the blog before. Today's post comes out a bit later than usual, as I've been quite busy with school, but I've also had some family events to attend that have taken up most of my spare time. Let's start this compilation with a photo that I took back in February, but didn't share on my last photo compilation. If you read that one, you know I took this photo at a lovely little n ..read more
