Rickmaniac on the loose

OK first of all.. WHY Hermione of all people? Well.. Mostly because I wanted a girl-doll I could sew girly stuff for. And I thought I might as well stick to the Potterverse... and then... Hermione is, all things considered, the most tolerable girl in that pantheon. (unfortunately, that's not saying much)

( but anyway... here's my newest doll :) )

First.. Not sure if I've mentioned it.. but these Ball Joint Dolls are HIGHLY addictive. So after first Big Kid got one, and I got one, the turn now came to Little Kid (who, at 12 isn't really "little" anymore - she's taller than me...)

And well.. she got a girl-doll and...

Seriously.. I HAVE to show off...

I never counted myself among Those Who Could Sew, nor did I ever plan to enter their ranks.

But getting these BJD's - and especially getting a CUTE girly BJD (heh and yeah.. me who has never played with girlie-dolls either...) has apparently triggered some dormant gene in me because I've been sprouting out clothes for Dina (Little Kid's doll) since we got her last Wednesday.

( So.. have a look under the cut at what I've made so far )

Today was the day for the traditional easter lunch at the in-laws (yes, today is a holiday, here)

And since Little Kid got her doll yesterday, AND I wanted to use the oopportunity to photograph Sevvie in different surroundings, we brought the dolls... Needless to say the rest of the family were staring at us (OK .. me!) with the "lost final marble" look...

Oh well. Their loss...

Below the cut is some of the pics that were taken. And yes, we had FUN! (even if Sevvie smashed his nose and had to get emergency nose-surgery... I'd planned to sand him down anyway.. just not with a nail file...
