Haven't posted in a while! Have some different looks for my F-101. I wish I could get the wig in the second photo in the same color as the first photo. That would be perfect. The blue eyes are pretty, but I think his faceup goes better with the green. #superdollfie #bjd #sd_f_101

When you go to a lolita meet-up and only care about the pictures you took of your doll...her coord was cuter than mine anyway 🤣. #bjd #superdollfie #sd_macha #btssb

Let's go from something I'm good at (sewing) to something I find a struggle (faceups). This is my first time doing a faceup in about 15 years. It's terrible. I am struggling. But I'm not going to get any better if I don't keep at it. Time to wipe and try again! #bjd #superdollfie

I wanted to work in women's health as an RN, but I fell head first into infusion nursing and ended up liking it. I'm realizing now I will probably never go into women's health now since it would mean a pay cut I can't afford. I saw a great job posting today, but guess it's not meant to be.

My first doll...MSD Magie. Her name is Akiko. She hasn't dressed this cutesy and frilly for a long time! #bjd #superdollfie #msd_magie #msd_myu #msd_f_01

Cosplays successfully worn! I'd like to remake the entire top of mine since I didn't have time to make it the way I wanted, but otherwise it's all right for cosplaying someone 1/3 my age lol. My daughter looked super cute as Ruby! Hope I can put this on her again soon! #cosplay #aiscream #lvlupexpo

If you've been wondering where the doll sewing updates went...well, I decided to speed-build some costumes for my daughter and myself, so doll sewing has been on hold. I can't believe I managed all this in under 3 weeks while working overtime AND parenting a 4-year-old! #cosplay #lovelive #aiscream

I was told this was going to be a hell week for work, but I wasn't prepared for the fuckery I would be put through. I got my schedule last week, and it looks jam packed but surprisingly my Friday is open. Great! I know I might get something added on but I also might get a day off.

The people at the rent-a-car place have seen me enough that they're amusing themselves by giving me upgrades. I'm now driving a Camaro to my appointments out of state tomorrow. They don't know that I refused a '65 Mustang in favor of a minivan for my first vehicle as a teen 😅

It's funny. 6-7 years ago, if I could have looked at where I am now, I would think I have everything I ever wanted. A child, a partner, a job where I am respected and paid well. But I lost the things that gave me joy before, and days like today, I really want that back. My brain hates being happy.

My next sewing project is based off Ancienne's Alma pattern. I'm starting with the jacket, and if I'm happy with it I'll continue on to the dress and bonnet. These photos belong to Ancienne; I'm including them to display what I'm working on! Please see Ancienne's work at www.ancienne.jp

I want to disappear. Thought I had a mild cold. But I tried to go to sleep and failed (very uncommon for me). I have a horrible sore throat and fever and spots on the back of my throat - it's probably strep 😫. Worst of all, I am traveling for work tomorrow. Or was.

I finished my fairy queen. I went from not knowing what to do with her, to being the most inspired I've been by a doll. I just wish I had a better camera! Dia is a SDGr F-73 in fair skin, faceup by Ms. Stein. Costume, accessories, and wings by yours truly! #superdollfie #sd_f_73 #bjd #bjdsewing

The dress is one piece! Hurrah! I found some pearl chain so I'm currently bedazzling areas with that. I'm going to make some embroidered fairy wings to really give it that fantasy air. Now, should I leave the underskirt that length so it peeks out, or hem it so it doesn't show? #bjdsewing #bjd

It's fun when the big elaborate thing you're sewing starts to come together. This dress is gonna look fab on my F-73! I do need to add an underskirt, since I didn't realize how visible the inside of the skirt would be. Tulle or chiffon? Any opinions welcome! #bjd #superdollfie #bjdsewing

The #1 thing I dread about getting a new Volks doll? Removing the hot glued eyes. Does anyone actually like hot glued eyes? Macha lost a few eyelash hairs but otherwise came out unscathed from the ordeal with alcohol pads and tweezers. I really like her with darker eyes! #superdollfie #bjd #sd_macha

Macha is here and I love love love her! Here's 3 dolls in BTSSB. I had to spend hours restoring the outfits on the center and right dolls. The time was worth it! #superdollfie #bjd #sd_macha #sd_lieselotte #sd_school_a

My daughter turned 4 yesterday. We took her to a dinosaur exhibit and she was SO excited! She didn't want to leave, and in fact sobbed her poor little heart out when we had to leave. Here she is with some foam dinos she made (ok, Mom and Dad helped 🤣)

I won Macha in the Volks JP lottery! SO EXCITED!! I need to decide how I want her to look, because the default sparkle makeup is just not for me. Anyone have links to cute Macha repaints for inspiration? #bjd #superdollfie #sd_macha

I made a DSD dress with the help of an Ancienne pattern! I'm still working on a matching bonnet. My Lucia (Miyo) recently swapped bodies with my Tiffany/F-73 (Dia) and doesn't Lucia make a cute DSD? I am including a now traditional pony photo too, featuring my cat 🤣 #bjd #superdollfie #sd_lucia

I got word today that one of my regular patients has passed. It's not unexpected, and she had a comfortable death, but I'm still sad. She made costumes for fun just like me...this makes me think about my mortality and I do. not. like. it.

I am at the start of a 6 hour infusion and my patient is quietly reading her book. Just the way I like it! Have some photos of things I've been up to lately:

My kidding should be starting an early intervention preschool next week. She was found to be average in almost everything and in the highest percentile for cognitive ability...but has developmental delays in social and behavioral areas. I am not surprised at this determination.

Much thanks to my last patient who rented Wicked during his infusion today, saving me from having to rent it myself. Perks of the job? My verdict: loved the costumes and sets, but the music is not to my taste.

In trying to organize my doll clothes, I had to figure out which pieces of these similar sets were for two different sizes. So, since I had to dress them up, have Mikhail (a very rare Buddydoll Raphael) and Arata (Volks F101). They kinda have a Der Tod/Rudolf vibe going, and I like it!

Everyone, please pat me on the back. My patient is getting rid of MOUNTAINS of fabric, and I did not take anything. I didn't even look. (Okay. I glanced at the most visible things. But I did not touch the piles at all 🤣)

My patient today wanted to watch Emily in Paris. I didn't want to tell her that listening to that much French brings back really, really bad memories. But she did get a laugh at some of my less traumatizing Swim Hell stories. At least we finished up Nobody Wants This beforehand. That show was cute!

I do not want to be contacted on the weekend to try to add something to my schedule next week. A coworker wants to know if I'll do a 3 hour infusion on New Year's Eve. Girl, I can see both our schedules, and you are not on the schedule that afternoon. I already took 2 appts for you yesterday. NO.

If I have another two weeks like I'm currently having at this job, I'm not sure I'm going to survive. I haven't had a day off since 12/8, and I won't have another one off until 12/21. I was told that it's rare to even get one appointment on call weekend, but I had TWO.

@sakuramikage.bsky.social Happy birthday old lady! This is us now XD

I do love sitting at home by myself while Joe has the kiddo at her IEP evaluation. My last infusion finished up too late for me to go. Sometimes I hate being the parent with the high paying inflexible job. I want to be there. Anyway, enjoy proof that the cats are finally warming up to kiddo!

I'm not a very impartial judge, but I feel like my kid's drawings are really good for her age (4 years old in 2 months). This is a bumble bee, which is her 3rd favorite thing to draw. (No. 1 is a brachiosaurus, No. 2 is our brown long hair tabby Gretel.)

I was super cute for International Lolita Day! I'm wearing Metamorphose's Fantasy Starry Sky fullset, ancient Bodyline shoes, an equally ancient Cosworx wig, and a petticoat I made myself. Even though I'm still mad at myself for losing money with this meetup, I had so much fun so will focus on that!

Today at daycare, everyone made buildings out of blocks...except my daughter, who made people out of blocks because "someone needs to make the buildings." My kid is really cute sometimes!

If anyone in Vegas wants to come to afternoon tea on Saturday afternoon, send me a message. I forgot the first cardinal rule of hosting a meet-up, which is to not pay for things unless money from all attendees has been collected. I need more butts in seats. It's $62 a person all inclusive.

I have an all day infusion I'm doing currently, and a short infusion late at 8PM. Sometimes being salary is a bummer. OTOH, I only have one 3 hour infusion tomorrow and have the afternoon off (as long as they don't add anything on, fingers crossed)

LRT was too good not to reshare, even though Dream Jareth was the last costume I made a certain unreliable former boyfriend and cosplay partner. I did everything except stone the jacket and he still managed to disappoint me. Maybe if it still gets to me, I need therapy. But lol, with what time?

I will actually get to watch 2/3 of my favorite Yogscast Jingle Jam streams live this year! SO HYPED for Jingle Cats and Important Videos! Also, donate to the Jingle Jam, everyone! www.jinglejam.co.uk

This is my DearSD Tiffany. I named her Dia because of the beauty mark 😅. Her faceup is by Ms. Stein. She is very beautiful but maybe she should have a SD13 or SDGr body instead? Not sure the faceup is vibing with the big baby body. The dress is by me!

Since my grandma has passed and my parents no longer stay in town for Thanksgiving, it is now up to me to bake the old family recipe of shoofly pie. It is easy to prepare but deceptively difficult to get to turn out correctly. I just popped them in the oven; wish me luck!

The yen to dollar exchange is so damn dangerous now that I'm back into dolls. I got a SDC Arashi fullset minus boots for $93. I don't know why he went so cheap because he has minimal yellowing and scuffing for a 20 year old BJD. I started making him an outfit today 🥰. Pardon my messy sewing room!

Behold, the absolute trash FB serves me on Reels. Eff this person for suggesting autism is something you recover from. My child is most likely neurodivergent and there is nothing to recover from! It's just who she is. I will try to give her the tools necessary for life, but she is not sick or broken

What a sweet finale video for my best girls 🩵

The patient was a doozy today. According to her, Joe Biden is declining because of the Covid vax. I guess it has nothing to do with his age and very stressful job 🙄. At least I had a delightful patient and spouse afterwards that cleansed the palate.

Wish me luck, I'm a nurse that does home infusions and I have a very MAGA patient today. Home nursing is overall way better than clinic nursing, but the problem is you can't escape the patient by going to the nursing station or office. Wonder how MAGA she'll be when she can't get her meds any more 🤔

Anyway, have a pic of my kid on Halloween. She wanted to be a sparkly T-Rex, so that's what I made. Then at 3PM on Halloween, she wanted to be a pterodactyl instead. Did I cut some wings out of craft foam and slap them on the costume? Yes. Did my 3 year old totally buy it? Also yes 🤣

I hate change, but sometimes change is necessary. So, uhh, here I am?
