Dorrie's Doll Diaries
Friday, 13 June 2008
Lotsa kitten - and a bit of Velvet, too !
Now Playing: "Kimagure Orange Road"- always a classic in anime.,,

 

Current Mood : Lazy

Current Image Notes : I called this one 'Goose', because he/she has that look of a kid just tapped that in a game of Duck, Duck, Goose. Plus, there's Gray Goose, and she's downy like a goose. Beloved Hubby calls her Jean (yeah, he likes mutants. Sigh). Very quiet kitty - who's probably going to live with the PILs next week or so.  You also get a bit of 'Tiger', you'll see more of him tomorrow.

 

Beloved Hubby was home today ! And we did pretty much nothin'. Watched old anime tapes and DVDs, complained about where that hobby went, and just sort of rattled around the house for a while. We went out, but I didn't find much beyond some yard sales I'll hit tomorrow. We got more underbed plastic storage boxes for Dearest Son's overflow Lego, and a few bits and bobs, but I stayed out of the fabric section and didn't find any new dolls.  In fact, our local shops haven't had new dolls in months. Seems as though, if I wanna see anything ‘new', I have to hit thrifts and yard sales !

 

Surprisingly, Playmates toys wrote me back ! The ‘Sun ‘n Fun' DPrincess dolls I asked about are due out in August or September. Odd time to be stocking summer dolls, but heck, if it keeps me from paying $30. for a nude Mulan with tangled hair, I can wait ! No mention was made of toddler Tinkerbell, so I figure she'll be out about the same time. And I'll be checking TRU every couple of weeks anyway.

 

Darn kittens are driving me nutz ! They're climbing everything, and can get pretty much anywhere, from the kitchen counters on down. They can open most cabinets, and just love launching as-yet-unsorted doll shoes off the top of the cubby Beloved made me. They also adore Jasmine's hair, and knocking dolls off the shelves, then picking fights with siblings among piles of dolls, cheap-serged fabric, and synthetic hair. I'll miss them when they start finding new homes, but right now...Arrrgh !
