farewell january

05 February 2023

 


hello dolls, dears, & teddy bears, 

so this post was actually supposed to have been posted before 
the end of january in celebration of officially using this blog 
for a month- however that didn't happen,,
so uh, yay for using this blog for an entire month, am 
so happy to be back here writing again
꒰ྀི เธ…́˘เธ…̀ ྀི꒱

the reason for the delay is because, if you watch my instagram 
stories you may have seen my semi-frequent updates that 
i was completely reorganising & deepcleaning my bedroom..
i really desired it to feel a little more like a "home" with 
better seperation between my very small space, 
that way i could have a proper work & play space instead of 
just, a rectangle in the center of the room which was 
incredibly claustraphobic after awhile;; 

i- didn't anticipate this to take pretty much an entire week 
to do, i thought maybe 3 or 4 days most but nope, 
8 am to 10-12 pm each night was cleaning 
꒰ྀི ใ…œใ…ใ…œ ꒱ྀ 
never again am i going to wait that long to do another 
deep cleaning....

i missed drawing & writing soso much.. 
am eager to return to normal schedule now ♡
especially since i hope to open sketch commissions soon..

i did have one nice break day though during this exhausting 
week, remember in the last post i mentioned how 
my grandma would let me look through her & my 
great-grandma's old cards that they've gathered over the years 
so that i may take some for my collection? 
well i got to, and selected a little over 50 cards- 
majority of which were valentine's cards from the 1940s-1950s?
ྀི꒰ใฃ´เผฅ`ฯ‚꒱

however i decided that ill wait to share the valentines in my 
collection until my post closer to that darling day, 
and just share the other greeting cards i also selected เญจเญง


the wedding cake card is my favourite and one i  had 
actually seen online before when researching old cards 
for art references! so to actually have it in person 
now, from a late family member, is especially exciting~

of course, unfortunately i didn't really have the chance to 
work on any art the past week so this is also from the end 
of january- a wip on the birthday piece for my dear friend ♡

admittedly am still a little concerned when working with reds 
in my paintings;; but it actually turned out a little more like how 
i anticipated for once ꒰ ៸៸ ◞ ˕ ◟ ៸៸ ꒱
i just need to finish the shading within yet, and hopefully itll be nearly 
done by the end of next week.. 


also a little update regarding the Goatlings design i shared, 
it unfortuntaely did not get accepted in any of the selections i 
put it into.. it was admittedly upsetting, but not unexpected..

there is always chances to try again in future selections throughout this 
year where the design fits, or i may just have to wait until next years 
sweetheart celebration/febuary entry oppurnties again!
despite not making it in, i recieved many compliments & support for the design 
by onsight members & those who seen the wips in the goatlings discord server
so i want to be hopeful one day the antique doll collection 
may become official ꒰ྀི ◌´ `◌ ྀི꒱

now its just a matter of waiting for the sweetheart celebration event to begin, 
as its my favourite event and am eager to add the design that did win to 
my collection of goats ♡

finally, more schneekugel der rosen dolle sketches!
this is the third out of four completed
next one will be the final part of the sketch series ꒰ྀི ៸៸៸៸ เธ꒱ྀི

dolle verwelken-rosenheart
(drei)
"im seeing things more clearly than before...."
"im not so afraid anymore...."

"drei", life three is the time when many of  you dears 
would've probably first encoutnered me or at least 
seen some of my reposted works later on
this is when i finally began going by "thebabydollsheart" 
before i added the "e" only recently.. 

well it's getting late and i must prepare for bed, 
see you again soon~
goodnight my dears
