I'm a mini lalaloopsy addict who also happens to be a bit of a clutterbug. The weird thing is that even as a kid I still managed to find ways to have fun with my toys "around" the clutter. ;D Here's, erm, some quick photos of what it'd look like if Lalaloopsys had been around when I was nine years old: The little pantry display has been sitting on my desk for a few years now. Some Sylvanian Families furniture and dessert-shaped erasers are mixed in there too. Some other cool stuff I found for my minis are a Strawberry Shortcake clubhouse and the Sylvanian Families Toymaker's set. I also want to try making doll furniture from scratch, though I'd still have to find the minis an actual doll house...

I'm getting one inch closer to completing the new minis! Managed to snag Jewel's Primpin' Party yesterday. You might notice that unlike in the prototype pictures, playset!Jewel is wearing neither dangling earrings nor pearl necklaces. I guess they were some fiddly bits they couldn't make work at the mass-production stage. No worries though, this is still a very pretty version of Jewel. I love how the vanity mirror looks like it was made from an old locket. I just wish that part held together in one piece slightly better. The table itself is also pretty thin, it really works better when it's leaned up against a wall of sorts. The lamp and the stool are very nice pieces. The stool especially looks like a fun hybrid between a pin cushion and a powder puff, and the fact that it's also a secret compartment is a neat bonus. Besides those Jewel comes with recolored versions of her regular accessories plus a fancy new heart-shaped perfume bottle. I'm guessing if that bottle existed in real life then perfume collectors would have gone gaga over it ages ago Finally, Jewel's playset!Kitty seems to be made from a different plastic as her regular kitty. The downside is that playset!Kitty is difficult to keep standing upright. Or maybe that's just because my desk isn't flat enough ;D All in all I still like this playset, though not as much as I liked Berry's. Now to get the treehouse and wait and see if Bea's schoolbus will ever show up here!

Just remembered I started this thread, LOL. Been trying to build a dollhouse of sorts for the minis, key word being "trying." Here are some work-in-progress shots from my blog:

Check your PM's! I found a bunch of the minis on your wish list for you. ;D
The house is looking great! I use Calico Critters furniture with my minis, too!

Well, I finally bit the bullet and bought my first big doll the other day. Why Patch? Mostly because we have similar personalities and that according to the Geek Zodiac I was born in a pirate-y year! ;D Attachments:

Progress on the dollbox has also been going swimmingly, a.k.a. it's turned out BIGGER than I thought. This not-very-good picture can give you an idea just how big it's gotten, hopefully I'll get around to taking better pics of it for the blog. Attachments:

I'm back with shiny new doll box pictures! neocurios.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-massive-lalaloopsy-dollbox-update.htmlSeeing as the mini Lala-Oopsies and the series with Mango, Harmony etc had just shown up here, I may need to build more doll boxes again. I did manage to find this really cool wooden dollhouse for sale at a local trade fair months ago, though it may not be big enough to hold the new minis.

This isn't really much of an update, but I just blogged about my current mini collection on my Tumblr: exalteranima.tumblr.com/post/81774289311/lalaloopsycrazyI was genuinely surprised I had about eighty unique minis (not including the doubles and Lala-Oopsie fairies). I thought it'd be more.
