Luna's hot glue was the easiest to remove for a while! I gave her Chloe's eyes, and her signature look of superiority™ has greatly increased. I also wrote about her arrival here: small-time-hijinks.com/blog/2026/08...

I know it's an obvious thing to complain about, but Instagram is now unusable for me. Tags don't show the actual tagged posts, and there's now an ad (usually a video) between every 1 or 2 posts. It was never great, but it's definitely worse, especially the ads. I just want to look at doll photos...

It's been really hot and humid here lately, so I'm happy to look back at this photo from a few weeks ago where Chloe looks crisp and cool. small-time-hijinks.com/blog/2026/06...

The LA Dolpa Tae is too gorgeous, and the one-off dolls look so good with the Art Deco theme. Fingers crossed that American friends get lucky in the lottery! And I hope that one day we might get a European Dolpa, or that I can go to a Dolpa in Japan. volksusa.com/event/2026do...

Yesterday I removed the hot glue from three dolls, including Chloe. (All operations were a success.) Her default eyes are really nice, but I think this light purple pair is a nice contrast with her hair and colouring. #sd_クロエ

Happy new year! These are the dolls I bought in 2025: 4 small cuties and 1 very long boy, or 2 big-eyed babes and 2 grumps. I wrote a retrospective of 2025 and a bit about my plans for 2026 on my blog, if that's interesting to anyone: small-time-hijinks.com/blog/2026/01...

Christmas photos! I only have enough Christmassy clothes to dress up Hazel (SDM F-61) and Claudia (DearSD + FCS F-07/Nono). Maybe next year I'll try for a bigger group photo. #dollsky #スーパードルフィー #superdollfie

I've been trying to make a Christmas dress in time for Christmas. I still need to finish a few things and make a petticoat. I'm also thinking about a big bow for her hair. I'm quite happy with the sleeves, but maybe the skirt is too short... 🤔

I got Nono/F-07 recently and put her on a DearSD body. She's wearing the most adorable wig from Catkin Cherry and eyes by Ms Stein. She has FCS boyish makeup with one change to the lips. I don't know what her name is yet - maybe something fancy like Cordelia or Claudia. #sd_f_07 #sd_nono #sd_のの

I haven't finished knitting her jumper yet, but I did get these gorgeous new eyes from Ms. Stein Art. (And I managed to get the hot glue out with no eyelash damage! 🎉) I haven't thought of a name yet, so I'm still calling her Ranma. #sd_らんま

That sinking feeling when something (a very cute doll) is supposed to arrive today, but it's approaching the end of the delivery window and still hasn't been marked as out for delivery. I don't mind waiting longer, but this is the second time it's happened with this parcel. 🥲

Been working on this cross stitch piece recently. The colours are so cheerful! It's relaxing and going quite quickly, since it's so small. I think next time I'll try something bigger.
A cross stitch piece in progress on white Aida fabric, with a purple gradient sky with moon and stars, plus the start of some grey and pink clouds. In one corner of the piece is a needle minder. It's got a happy frog on it, with the text "Don't worry be hoppy!"

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"? Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

A little wig try-on for my SDGr Sophie. I think I like her best as a pale blonde. In this dress she reminds me a bit of Holliday Grainger as Lucrezia in The Borgias. #SD_Sophie #SD_ソフィー #dollsky

Faceups are so difficult! I'm trying not to be too hard on myself, but I might have to redo the one on the SDGr Sophie (the lines really are a complete mess and the eyeliner doesn't match). I do quite like the one on my green goblin girl (DoDollsDream Lullaby Miss Ao).

Happy 26th birthday Volks! 🥳 To fit the pink theme, I knitted Rufus this sweater, and finished it just in time. I didn't originally think pink would be his colour, but I love these softer colours with his stern, grumpy face. #sdハッピーバースデー

I think this is my most productive month (for doll photos and blog posts) ever. It's almost as if there's a constant stream of awful news that creates the need for massive escapism... But I got a Hewitt and he's really cute. small-time-hijinks.com/blog/2025/02... #dollsky #superdollfie #スーパードルフィー

I started knitting a pink jumper for the Volks birthday celebrations later this month (the dress code is pink). I'm making it oversized so it should fit any of my 1/3 scale dolls, but I'm secretly thinking that my Ludo or Williams would look great in it.
A short piece of knitting in progress, still on the knitting needles. The knitted fabric is pale pink with a white stripe. In the background are two balls of wool, one pink and one white.
