Harry birthday Mercedes.

Upon the floor there lay a hat

And in the bed nearby there lay a head

Huh?

A little light on the subject

And a pair of spectacles 

Ooh a hat

A sorting hat?

Gryffinfor, please let it be Gryffindor

What's this?

A pair of shoes?!

And in the corner a parcel lay

Two parcels

Could it be a broomstick?

It's a scooter!

Ah hahahaha a nimbus 2015

A cape

A blouse and a skirt

Tights

An owl

A time turner 

A wand and some magic books

Wow Mercedes look at you, wait just there I've got a birthday cake. I'll just go get it. 

Mercedes?

What's this?

I had some pocket money so I.... (Part2)

Wow  

I sometimes look at the Barbie aisle. In my experiences I've only ever seen this face mold (Christie maybe) in this colour. So to see her in fair skin with freckles and the big ball of fluff for hair I thought I would add her to my collection. I've not had a new Barbie since, um, hmm maybe 2011 but I can't think who that was I was in BFC ink mode, with a dash of My Scene, and most of my Barbies have since funded AG and a holiday. Anyway so I got her. Have no idea if she has an official name, but she is from the Fashionista line (shudder - I hate that term). 

 It means her body is stuck in a pose, her knees don't bend, she's skinnier than any Barbie I've had before, of the same height anyway, except for Clawdia but the bodies are really nothing alike. 

This is my favorite Barbie line face mold Teresa from the 90s well her head is anyway. I think she was Flying Super hero, came in a yellow leotard and was one of the big busted flat footed articulated dolls that I at one point had enmasse. She had a body transplant I think to what was a belly button body from the early 2000s, so whilst she too is stuck I prefer if over the Fashunderistas body. Teresa's knees click and hold. 

Skinny

I'll see if I've got any bodies left and see if I can do a swap for the new girl. She's very white though so we'll wait and see. Maybe I'll need to buy a play line doll to do this. 

Talking of transplanting bodies, I'm considering giving Maddie a new body, 

It's madness I tell ya

Missing Albert

I

Tzeitel has been missing Albert the cat. She has even put her crocheting away. She has said it was getting too hot to work with wool, but it did seem a little more than that. 

I was in toys'r'us the other week and journey girls pets were available. 

Worlds longest tag?

Hey Tzeitel I found someone who needs some taking care of.

Hoh, a little white kitten. 

Oh sheis lovely. 

Will Pudding and the new kitten get along?

The book of cats thinks she might be a White British Shorthair. Tzeitel has decided to call her Alexis Britani, a little after her departed friend and a little for her breed. 

I had some pocket money so I.........

I had some pocket money, and I'll probably find out later where it was supposed to go, but at the time it wasn't obvious so I sent it off into the retail world to help prop up the economy.

My first ever Monster high doll. She was grinning at me from the Toys'r'us shelf, it would seem since 2014 based on the DVD ad in the top left of picture, which is probably true, I'm sure I've seen her several times just never followed through with the lunchtime browse "if I were to buy one of these dolls it would be....."

Well i did it, and she was only $20 (Australian) not quite a Kmart bargain, but Kmart didn't have her so there.
She is Clawdia Wolf from the Hauntlywood series. She is 19 so not one of the high school dolls. I think that makes her taller than most of the regular line, but it's looking most likely that I'll never find out because from observation she is the only doll in the whole line that is not pouting or cranky. Yes I  know they're monsters but if the dolls had looked more like their cartoon selves - they are smiling in  those  maybe I would have been more enticed.
Fortunately for Clawdia she looks better than her cartoon self.

Now do I look at an Ever After high doll?  I think only the relative of the Cheshire Cat is smiling. But it is a little creepy. Let's just say not yet. 

(Posted Monday November 9, been in draft since October 25. Still testing but I might have successfully added photos to a blog post..... Finally)

Blogging by phone

I think my PC was a little over worked. A photo album, a diary, a shopping centre, and a picture theatre, just some of the occupations on its CV, then there's the things I was plugging into it: mobile charger, portable hard drive, camera, printer, and it had a disk drive.  So for a while then (hopefully little) blogging will be by phone, one fat fingered letter at a time.
Hmm, hey Maddie, what if I dictate?


Hmmm adding picture attempt number 5,990

(Doing a little dance. We may now have pictures :-)
