Saber Lily Welcomes Home a New Pet!
This was an unexpected delivery!
The hubby and I have been waiting around for our new DD daughter today since Canada Post’s website shows that our new girl has gone through customs and is in their hands now – but it’s now past 7pm and she hasn’t shown up so I guess she’ll be arriving tomorrow. Boo.
The mailman did deliver a box today while I was out, but as Saber Lily’s expression shows, it’s certainly not a DD and I didn’t remember what it was that I had ordered.
Saber Lily: “Maybe it’s clothes?”
Possibly… Let’s look and see.
Upon opening the box, Saber Lily was just as confused since there are some miniature belts, some hairclips and a bunch few packages wrapped in foam. Nothing looks remotely like a doll or new clothes.
After taking everything out and unwrapping things she discovers a vinyl makeup bag with a cushioned pouch inside.
And suddenly out pops a little kitty cat!
Saber Lily: “Oooh! Mom, you adopted a pet kitty for us! Can I call him Suki?”
Hmm… Suki sounds too much like “Sookie” from True Blood.
Saber Lily: “That’s true. How about Snuggles then?”
Sure Saber. He looks like a “snuggles” doesn’t he? Hehe.
Snuggles is actually a resin doll from Korean brand Hujoo. He's fully articulated and strung up inside with elastics like a resin BJD doll. I also ordered a pair of green eyes for him, but I think changing them will be an interesting challenge so these pretty baby blues will be staying for a while!
Snuffles is a Hujoo "Dorothy" Siamese cat. I'm actually very impressed with them - I ordered him 15 days ago and was told it's take 30 days for him to arrive, but he only took half that!
Snuggles and Saber Lily immediately take a liking to one another.
At least waiting around for the mailman today ended up being productive!
-------------------
And finally, I got a couple of comments on my Flickr yesterday after I posted the photo of the Goody mini spin pins so I made a quick tutorial video showing how I use them to plut long doll wigs into a lovely bun with no need for a hairbrush, Water Wax or any other styling aids. I hope it’s helpful!
The Spin Pins are awesome because they don't get tangled in delicate wig fibers and don't "clamp" onto anything so they won't damage your expensive doll wigs! ^__^"
If you're looking for them, check out places that sell Goody hair accesories like Walmart and CVS (in the US); I've seen them at Boots (in the UK) and I actually bought my set at Watson's in Shanghai so these are definitely available in Asia too! They also come in different color-toned metal - I've seen a bronze color (for brunettes) and a light gold (for blondes) but I'm not about to be picky about colour for hairpins you barely see once they are in a wig.
She is so absolutely adorable!!!
Teehee - thank you ^__^b
Saber looks adorable with her new friend
Thank you! :D
Really cute ^_^ The link for the video doesn't work ..is it just me ?
Ooh, thanks for letting me know. I fixed it!
It's my first time uploading a video onto fig.fm LOL ^__~"
Thanks for fixing it ! Love this tutorial ,really good idea !
I use the long (regular sized) spin pins in my own hair using the exact same method and it holds all day without the need for any bobby pins or clips. They are awesome, so when I found the mini versions I had to get them right away!!
In love with kitty *_* So happy for you Saber! :D
Thank you! He's a sweet little kitty ^__^"
She looks so adorable!
Congrats on your new kitty Saber.
I hope you new girl arrives soon and thanks for the video.
Thank you! He's being such a good kitty and is curled up next to me :)
My new daughter should be arriving tommorow, so I'll have another update soon!
I hope the video was helpful ^__^"

I know! And this was the shipping box!!...which added even more to my confusion about what the heck was in this package!
I wasn't expected kitty to get here for another 2 weeks or so! LOL

Thanks for the spin pin tutorial. That looks interesting..may have to try that.
You're welcome!
I hope you do - they are really easy to use and give a completely different look to a wig ^__^b
Very lovely~ She looks very flash with her new hair style....and very good tutorial :D
Awww cute kitty with saber :3
:o archangeli that's the same with me! I've been waiting for my dd for nearly a week now, checked her tracking and she's still in customs! T_T
Oh that is super annoying T__T"
I just stalked my package online and it was at the local postail facility 5 hrs ago... But until it says "Out for Delivery" I can't get my hopes up.
PLEASE let her arrive today!!! >____<"
I know it is! :/
Lol I checked her tracking again and it says that I have to pay customs...great. so she should be with me on saturday! Yey at last! xD. I hope you get her soon! ^_^
Oh so cute!! I love cats so much! <3
Nice adoption. Lily looks so cute. Nice photos of her and the kitty.
Awesome! Lily Saber looks very nice with kitty! ^^
Can't tell if it's the photo, but Lily's blush looks a little light?
Probably just the horrible lighting in my photos >___<"
Lily's blushing isn't too dark to begin with though (at least when I compare her to Moe and my SD16 girl).
