I hop on a plane to Sydney at 6am Monday morning to attend a week of geek software training. That means my weekend is being mostly spent making sure all my washing is done so that I have my favourite bras, knickers and jeans with me.

But who wants to spend an entire weekend on housework? Certianly not me!

The wonderful Brooke of WPWDs sent me a new wefted scalp that I’d asked for. I sent her this lovely mohair-type white wavey weft, and she nimbly sewed it to a CoolCat blank scalp. It’s arrived and looks SO fantastic, that it might not go onto the original victim’s bald head.

Instead I’m thinking of putting it onto my old custom Ashlette (photo below) and removing her original weft. The weft in the photo was my first ever attempt at customising with weft. I didn’t know at the time, but curly weft is the hardest to do, and not something a beginner should attempt! I loved the pink and silverish-white colour and style, but have always hated the amateurish mess I made.

So she gets some new hair, and at the same time I think she may just be getting some new eyes.

I commissioned the incredibly talented Ron Mac to create beautiful eyechip inserts for me. Ron has an Etsy store where she posts herwork from time to time, but I wanted something specific. After a couple of emails back and forth so that Ron was completely clear on what I was after, she created two pairs of eyechip inserts on acid free Moleskin paper. They should arrive in a week or so and I cannot wait!

Even without having seen the inserts in person yet, I am so happy to recommend Ron to anyone looking for one of a kind custom eyechip inserts for their Blythe doll. Ron is super friendly and super talented.

I probably won’t update while in Sydney, but I’ll try.

The Takara/Tomy/CWC/Junie Moon/Yatterman Movie collaboration NEO Blythe stole my heart the moment I saw the promotion drawings.

This Blythe was available exclusively in Japan, and is a very limited run. I despaired of ever being able to afford her.

I first posted about her here: Blythe Doronjo

Then I landed this contract, and with my very first paypacket I set aside an obscene amount of money to buy her. I could have got a Kenner for the same amount. But she’s worth it.

Introducing Miss Donnie - certainly the fairest of them all.

See more impossibly beautiful photos on my Flickr Stream.

Starting a contract full-time has sadly left this website a bit neglected. I hope that over the next few weekends I can upload the many photos I’ve been taking, and some news on the Blythe and Azone Pure Neemo range.

Also some new Figma/Revoltech type display stands are being released and I’m in the midst of doing a little write up for you all.

My new contract means that I’m on a computer all day, planning, resourcing and designing a massive new website, which means when I get home I’m rather sick of staring at a monitor for the day.

I have the design bug of course - always happens when I get too busy to do anything about it - and I did a little layout today of what the new KLJ/pk.net may look like in the future.

Also on the agenda, a trip back to Japan in April next year. I want to plan it around my birthday, but also to coincide with any good dolly shows or toy events going on. So if you know of any, please let me know about them!

I’m also on the waiting list to get two more of my Blythes customised by the amazingly talented Shinji Anai, and have a Doronjo x Blythe and a Tweedly Do on the way to me (both NRFB). How lucky am I?

Hope you are all getting lots of new toys and planning your trips to Japan. See you on Twitter!
