after a summer of regaining strength & becoming healthy, I decided to take a break at the beach before summer ended. Little did I know that when I also decided to take a break from my computer & iPhone that the second issue of tinyfeet would be released! (http://tinyfeetmag.tumblr.com/thesecondissue#/) Like the first release, this sweet start-up of a doll magazine holds another interview with a dear friend, this time it is Romina who is interviewed of I Have Wings. (http://ihavewingsatelier.com/) Romina even shares a dress pattern in the magazine!!! The theme of this issue of tinyfeet is of fairytales & contains some incredible images, especially those magical images by Mirella von Churpek of her little yellow Lati Lea! (http://www/flickr.com/photos/vonchrupek/) But don't think that this magazine just covers one or two types of dolls! There are not only beautiful photos of ball joint dolls, there are also blythes, pullips, liccas & other dolls & crafted images in this magazine. Take a peek at tinyfeet, I am sure you will be rewarded with a smile!

My Teru Just Arrived
I was growing tired of Lati as I have many yellows and the waiting time was getting longer and longer. Plus I did not feel that I was interested in anymore of their more character like dolls that they had been creating lately; for instance the Pirate Yellows. Then I saw that Lati was offering a new green that was tan and not only was he tan, but he was incredibly good looking. So I decided to take a chance and order one last doll; his name is Teru.
Well he has arrived and he just so to speak knocks my socks off or as I said at the time; I was dancing with my heart in the air as he is a beautiful handsome. His tan is so rich in colour compared to the original tan Greens and I think it is even richer than the Gloomy Garden Greens. The photo on the Lati site even shows him as darker than all the other Greens, but I was not sure how true the photo would be and if the photo would bare any resemblance to the color he would be in real life. While there are a few lighter areas by the seams, he still is so perfect and one can expect a few minor lighter areas with this dark a tan. All I can say is I am in love and he came a lot quicker than Yellow Zorro, Elena and White basic special Kong. Although he is so much different than my other Green tans I still look forward to using him with them as I now have 3 girls and 3 boys. Unlike most collectors, I have been keeping all the Latis as the sex they were released as originally when Lati created the idea for each of them and I know I am one of the few with so many boys. A friend of mine, who has just recently received her Teru too, has turned him into a girl and he also makes a beautiful girl as all Latis do. I had someone ask me on flickr or cafe lati which sex he was going to be as so many Lati collectors do turn their male Yellow and Green Latis into girls and I just thought to myself how could anyone have all girls and no boys, I guess they like having the same sex as they are themselves. Plus I think it is easier to change the smaller White, Yellow and Green Latis into the other sex just like we sometime mistake younger children for the opposite sex as it is only as we grow older that our sexuality usually becomes apparent to the outside world.
I will keep watching Latis new releases now just in case there is a ball joint doll that is made by them that I just can't do without. However they are really too expensive for me to keep purchasing them. Many are unhappy with Lati because of the long waits and problems that they have had with Lati. I have had a few issues with Lati, but nothing except one that could not be worked out. I am curious what the Xmas releases will look like...the Halloween release of Yellows was quite cute; I just have too many Yellows to purchase anymore, at least that is what I think right now. We will see. Lol :)

Time is a Funny Thing
I have so much time and so little these days. I now have beautiful Ikea shelves with glass door fronts to move so many of my ball joint dolls - my latis, my blythe and my momoko dolls onto the shelves and yet as I say that I have two shelves up inside and I see just how many miniature pieces of furnishings and dolls I have...! It would have been so much easier to have started with storage space first and to have added dolls and miniatures second, ah, but that is not the way it was to be...! So what will I do? I think I have decided to start going backwards. Does that sound odd to add the newest first to the shelves. What have I just received?, a beautiful momoko called puppy garden and mine has beautiful long flowing blond wavy ponytails on each side. I still a haven't taken a photo of her as she is still safely in the boxing she comes in.
As I play with my blythes more often and take them to blythe meets it does not seem as important to put them on the shelf first and yet they are what creates most of the mess downstairs in our living room and it is for just that reason I should move them onto shelves upstairs first. I also have container of clothes I am trying to sort. My dolls have better clothes than I these days.
As for my Latis, well Becky, Beth and Cherny all travel with me so they must always be ready to be on the go, but the most recent Latis - the unicorns although they have gone to a ball joint meet here in town, they are now ready to find a magical, mystical shelf to share with the magicians, just how I am to create this I do not know.
I know you are probably wondering about all these names if you do not know me especially since I have no photos posted on this page yet and I am just starting this blog, but if you would like to see photos of many of my dolls you can do so by going to flickr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/rhubsknit/ there at flickr except for my Momoko mentioned here you can find most of my Lati and my Blythe photographed.
Since this is the start of my blog I should mention that I have at least 3 dollhouses as well as old cardboard Barbie set ups and many other types of folding homes. But two of the doll houses are the types that you build, each is a different style. One is an English Tudor and the other is of course the Standard Victorian/Queen Anne style that gets meshed together somehow. Both are in need of work, but the Tudor already houses some of the German and Swedish doll furniture I collected when I was a child. You will find photos of each dollhouse on my flickr page although not under doll house I am afraid. This I believe is one activity I will do today and that is to create a dollhouse photo set on flickr so that even though the houses may appear in other sets with the dolls someone who goes to my flickr page can easily find my dollhouses. The other dollhouse I have is Madeline's meaning the doll and yes the character in children's books. I also have the dolls, both in cloth and in the size that fits in the doll house which is an 8" size which is a very good size too for some of my Latis. Enough for now have fun looking at some of my photos on flickr as you only have to join (and it's free) to look remember you can find me at http://www.flickr.com/photos/rhubsknit/ please note I own the copyright on all photos under my name unless otherwise noted. Thanks!
