Last for a while...

Having looked at my money status and what the future holds, this little one will be my last doll for a while I suspect... unless I get lucky and can sell some unwanted stuff! 

It may have been noticed that I like SOOM. I think thier dolls are beautiful, and I love all the fantasy stuff! It's sad that I don't collect SD sized dolls, but lucky for me, they seem to always make a tiny version. Thier first tiny fantasy limiteds were Glot and Glati in 2009. This was the year when they began making tinys then SD versions and vice versa. I watched and waited. From the year before there was any tinys, there was many stunning, fantasy SDs. And during the next 2 years tiny versions of theses beauties from 2008 were released. 

For Sard & Beryl there was Glot & Glati. They released a SD simular too, but everyone can see that Glot and Glati as tiny Sard and Beryl. Afi & Ai were obviously baby Ambers. Bygg & Beyla were tiny Heliots. And I loved that Soom did this. Even though I dont have any of the SDs that doesn't mean I wouldn't love 1! I was waiting on a tiny version of a certain doll. 

In November 2008 Vesuvia was released. I LOVED her tail <3 My birthday is November 2nd, I'm a scorpio. When I noticed that little ones of the 2008 releases were slowly being made, I knew that I'd one day have my little baby Scorpion. My Scorpling <3 I waited. And... waited. By the time I got to 2011 I'd given up on SOOM releasing little Vesuvias. It wasn't just her they haden't made tinys of... Bix & Topaz for exmple. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disapointed at this point. So I forgot about it. Moved on.

July 2014. Four years and eight months after Vesuvia. I supose what felt like forever is better than never! I know four years doesn't sound like a long time. Was nearly 5 years! Well... when my Scorpling arrived it had been 5 years I supose xD Soom released Yarn & Silk - Sand elves. Yarn is a lovely tan and Silky is violet. Both colours are really lovely, but after much decision making, I ordered a Silky. I wanted to pay in full in hopes that she would arrive around my birthday, but I had to pay to fix a stupid car and stupid insurence!!! So layaway it was. Oh well. Maybe for christmas then ^^ I could get her stuff while I waited :)
So I don't want to sound ungreatful, but SOOM picked such a bad time for me to change thier timing system! I was expecting a 2-3 month wait after I finished paying for my Silky. I was not prepared for 2 weeks!! My silky had to sit in customs for a while as I couldn't afford the fees straight away. And because of stupid car I haden't got my Scorpling anything :( 

But! Enough whinning! BOX!

Rubbish phone photos are rubbish, I'm sorryyy. I had her delivered to my Granddad's house as I don't trust the postal service where I live! Quick fact! I keep all the EMS papers. I consider them 'birth' certificates for my dolls. I know theres the CoA aswell, but I keep these too!

Lots of bubblewrap pieces ^^ Usually there is one head on the body but this time there wasn't. Which was fine, they always put the head I'm not going to use on the body anyway! Silky came with 2 heads; human and dreamy elf. I wanted the elf head but I wanted to open the eyes, if I was brave enough!

 

Silky also came with fantasy hands and feet, which I didn't actually like. I just wanted the horns and tail ^^

 

  She is such a lovely colour which my phone cannot pick up at all! Doubt my camera can either, will have to try at some point.

At this point in my box opening I got invaded by a small and annoying monster child! She's lovely really, and she loves my dolls!

Know this; most four year old slightly spoilt english children have no patience! I had another wig to try (Did a day later, it was horrid! and tried others when I got home, but all didn't look right.) but she wanted to dress her 'now'!

I didn't let her touch the dolly ofcorse, I'm a horrible Aunt! She wanted her to wear this butterfly clip though. Which is too big and looks silly! I told her I was thinking of calling her Rosetta and she approved! Thus she was Princess Rosetta for the day!

Isabella Monster even made a picture of her with her house! I'm glad her heart pictures look like hearts now. To the dirty adult mind they didn't look like hearts before... were close to other things, such as boy bits and pieces! I do wonder though, why do some children when they start out right backwards? I know I use to write individual numbers and letters the wrong way, but never whole words! It's cute though ^^ She's actually very good with my dolls. She knows they aren't toys and is oh so careful ^^ Maybe when shes bigger she'll want some too ^^

Once I returned home, I picked a set of spare eyes. I haden't got the ones I wanted :( And she will have to make do with this blue and pink wig, which I actually want to sell lol And I didn't plan it, but this soom outfit actually fits even with her tail ^^ 

Ah yes. The tail. The stringing experience from hell! I got so stressed that I I had to put her in her box in pieces for a while and calm down. I've never had such issues with stringing before. I strung my centaur! But this was so difficult for me. It certainly didn't help that just when I thought I had it my hands spazzed and I let the elastic go so it all fell appart again. I was even thinking of selling her.

 I actually opened her eyes before I strung her. I took it slow and steady doing both jobs. It's just annoying that I can seal or faceup her yet as the weather sucks! But I have to buy her eyes and wig anyway. And she is cute blank anyway!

She aslso needs a name. I actually thought of Rosetta on the way home as they were talking about the robot being put on a commet (How cool is that?!) and I thought Rosetta would be quite fitting. And I do like the name but I also like the name Chiana. Think I will be undecided until she's complete. I do adore her though <3
I also can't decide who she is... is she Nero & Bijoux's sister? or is she a lonely time traveler. I don't know. Again, I probably won't know until she's complete. So that's doll number twentythree. 

And now my doll blog is up to date. May begin talking about thier back stories and future plans maybe?
