Doll Owner's Corner: We're Back!

Welcome to Doll Owner's Corner. When I, the doll owner, get to discuss anything at all.

This month's topic:


We're Back! Returning to the Ball Jointed Doll Hobby after a long absence

Back in the Hobby

It's been years since I (or Hikaru) have posted anything to this blog. I just kind of drifted away from it and focused more on work and other stuff.

It's actually fairly common for bjd collectors to take a break from the hobby for a little bit, or just leave and come back after a few years. There's a thread on the Den of Angels forum talking about it.

It can be a good thing to just take a step back and focus on other hobbies and priorities.  This is true for all hobbies and interests, not just doll collecting. Then you can come back with a fresh eye, maybe be able to focus more on what you truly love about the hobby and less about the other stuff

What brought me back? Marie Kondo.

Seriously, I spent a good portion of my summer using the Konmari method to clear out my stuff.  I sold/donated anything that didn't "spark joy".

My Ball Jointed Doll Family. 4 MSD sized dolls, 4 Yosd sized dolls, a tiny purple cat doll, and tiny deer.

When it was time to sort through my little doll family, I couldn't part with any of them. I love them all. 

I did sort out some of their clothes and stuff. Some of their shoes were literally disintegrating. I ended up ordering more things for them from Alice's Collections, the first package should arrive in a few more days. More on that later.

So stay tuned for some unboxings, sewing tutorials, a new doll or two, and maybe some makeovers? Should be fun.

Pleasant comments are always welcome and appreciated.

But please, no anti-doll comments. They are unnecessary and a bit rude. We understand that some people find dolls creepy or weird, but this is a "doll blog" that is intended for those who enjoy dolls. If you dislike dolls that much, don't waste your time reading doll blogs.
