More on Dolly Thoughts

It's hard to believe it's been six years since I wrote my post Dolly Thoughts and so much has changed. Some of those who commented on that particular post have left the hobby or simply stopped blogging.

Generally, my own journey hasn't changed much, apart from getting much older and less mobile (one seems to age more quickly once they pass 60), I still enjoy all my dolls. From the one and only inexpensive Khurn doll, to my Gotz play dolls, IT fashion dolls, Asian BJD's, and more recently the wonderful Zwergnase Spoon Dolls. They all keep me company and stop me from becoming completely bored.

Now I'm left wondering about those of you who are still posting, though much less frequently. I know some of you are still interested in your dolls, but cannot find the time to chat for one reason or another. Whatever the reason, I hope with all my heart you don't stop blogging all together, I miss chatting with you and seeing what you are doing with your own dolls.

Maybe you have a new hobby that's occupying your time, if so, why not share it. I'm sure there are other bloggers who would all be interested in knowing where this new path is taking you. Although most of those who used to chat regularly through our blogs spoke mainly about dolls, we all have lives apart from dolls that is just as interesting, so if you'd like to share a little, please do.

By the way do you realise it's only 103 days to Christmas?

Surprise Email

It arrived yesterday from my friend Trisha, to tell me the new Zwergnase Spoon Dolls had been released and were about to be posted on her website. I looked and it only took a second or two for me to fall in love all over again . . . and yes, I have pre-ordered Dalia.

These are Zwergnase stock photos, I will post more pics of her when she arrives in October. I think she has the most darling face, don't you? You could say she's one foxy little lady in that mohair hat. 

Dalia Spoon was introduced on 10th September 2026 and is one of four Spoons with a new face sculpt. She has beautiful amber coloured glass eyes from Lauscha, real leather shoes, a hand painted face and gorgeous mid-brown wigged hair. Beautifully dressed, she stands at 42cm and is limited to 25 worldwide. Her skin colour is NM Original and she has16 fully moveable joints . . . a real BJD. Designed by Nicole Menzner and made in Germany.

Big hugs,

Three Happy Kidz

I completely forgot to share the dolls my hubby bought me last Christmas. They are all Götz Happy Kidz. On the left we have Lea, in the middle Greta 75th Year Jubilee Special and on the right Elf Anne Christmas Signature Edition 2024.

Anne has a much smaller face than the other Götz Happy Kidz and was last seen as Anna Snow Rabbit for Christmas 2021, the next doll using the Anne mold to be released will be the Pippa Signature Edition 2026.

Here is Lea in her undies and already she is looking much prettier than before. I'm really not fond of the way Götz dresses their dolls. The quality of the clothes is usually pretty good, but some clothes are not age appropriate.

 

This face mold appears to be much younger looking to me and needs to look cuter, not older. I'm not sure whether I will do the same to her hair as I did with my first Greta, who I currently have her dressed in her night attire ready for bed.

My second Greta (below) will also need her name changed . . . any suggestions? The poor thing didn't have anything under her clothes except nickers and some crappy marks on her back and shoulder. I was not impressed! It looks like ink from a ball point pen, which is not easily removed.

Now Anne on the other hand, needs even more attention, but I'll leave her to another post.

All of these dolls desperately need suitable clothes, I have plenty fabrics and patterns, so I just need to keep sewing.
