FedEx delivered my puzzle prize money yesterday, so I used some of it to pre-order a little white Manuna Mouse to go with the brown ones coming some time this summer. She's not estimated to arrive until some time in October, which is still a very long way off. Even though the factory making the dolls for JPopDolls is way behind schedule, with customers having to wait many extra months past the estimated delivery dates for their dolls, I'm hoping the company will get their act together in their new location, and my little white mouse will actually come in October. If not, Christmas is a good time for mice too.
Iplehouse has not responded to the questions I posted the last two days. In the meantime all kinds of complaints are coming out of the woodwork about poor quality control. I was also told that a major doll magazine is considering doing an article on "Problems Experienced with Ordering Dolls from Asian Companies" because of all the complaints arising recently.
Anyway, I brought Peach back to Charie last night, and she is going to try hide the light areas on her nose with some blush and light freckles. All I want is a pretty doll that looks good in photos, so if Charie is successful that will be good enough for me. It's interesting though, that in examining Peach's legs - because they were rather floppy - we discovered that the factory had strung one of her upper legs parts in upside-down. So Charie will restring her. I'm lucky she can do that for me, as it's definitely not something I'd want to do myself - and neither would many other people. The dolls are expensive, and people expect them to arrive properly strung.
Since we were passing through Whitby, we stopped in at Michaels and I picked up another ball of the nice variegated cashmere in another colourway for a sweater for Lonnie - or Peach. I really like working with the soft cashmere sock yarn.
