Finally, I had some quality doll time. Here is Luna with a new dress and style. small-time-hijinks.com/blog/2026/10...

3/4 photo of a female ball-jointed doll wearing a navy dress with long sleeves, a cream lace shawl, a long pendant, and carrying a woven basket. She has long wavy auburn hair, dark blue eyes, and stands against a light background.

Luna's hot glue was the easiest to remove for a while! I gave her Chloe's eyes, and her signature look of superiority™ has greatly increased. I also wrote about her arrival here: small-time-hijinks.com/blog/2026/08...

I know it's an obvious thing to complain about, but Instagram is now unusable for me. Tags don't show the actual tagged posts, and there's now an ad (usually a video) between every 1 or 2 posts. It was never great, but it's definitely worse, especially the ads. I just want to look at doll photos...

It's been really hot and humid here lately, so I'm happy to look back at this photo from a few weeks ago where Chloe looks crisp and cool. small-time-hijinks.com/blog/2026/06...

Three-quarter portrait of a female ball-jointed doll in an old-fashioned looking blouse and skirt, holding a mesh hat trimmed with small fake flowers. She has long wavy peach-orange hair with a thick fringe, and a slight smile.

The LA Dolpa Tae is too gorgeous, and the one-off dolls look so good with the Art Deco theme. Fingers crossed that American friends get lucky in the lottery! And I hope that one day we might get a European Dolpa, or that I can go to a Dolpa in Japan. volksusa.com/event/2026do...

Yesterday I removed the hot glue from three dolls, including Chloe. (All operations were a success.) Her default eyes are really nice, but I think this light purple pair is a nice contrast with her hair and colouring. #sd_クロエ

Happy new year! These are the dolls I bought in 2025: 4 small cuties and 1 very long boy, or 2 big-eyed babes and 2 grumps. I wrote a retrospective of 2025 and a bit about my plans for 2026 on my blog, if that's interesting to anyone: small-time-hijinks.com/blog/2026/01...

Christmas photos! I only have enough Christmassy clothes to dress up Hazel (SDM F-61) and Claudia (DearSD + FCS F-07/Nono). Maybe next year I'll try for a bigger group photo. #dollsky #スーパードルフィー #superdollfie

I've been trying to make a Christmas dress in time for Christmas. I still need to finish a few things and make a petticoat. I'm also thinking about a big bow for her hair. I'm quite happy with the sleeves, but maybe the skirt is too short... 🤔

I got Nono/F-07 recently and put her on a DearSD body. She's wearing the most adorable wig from Catkin Cherry and eyes by Ms Stein. She has FCS boyish makeup with one change to the lips. I don't know what her name is yet - maybe something fancy like Cordelia or Claudia. #sd_f_07 #sd_nono #sd_のの

Portrait photo of a ball-jointed doll with very large purple eyes and curly blonde ringlets. She is very pale and has an antique girlish look. Her plump hand is held just below her chin as if she is thinking about something.

I haven't finished knitting her jumper yet, but I did get these gorgeous new eyes from Ms. Stein Art. (And I managed to get the hot glue out with no eyelash damage! 🎉) I haven't thought of a name yet, so I'm still calling her Ranma. #sd_らんま

Testing the fit of a new jumper for my new girl. #sd_らんま

This looks so good and I backed it immediately. I love the Redwall books, woodland creatures and cosy games, and I really want to see more studios like this do well. Good luck, NEARstudios!

That sinking feeling when something (a very cute doll) is supposed to arrive today, but it's approaching the end of the delivery window and still hasn't been marked as out for delivery. I don't mind waiting longer, but this is the second time it's happened with this parcel. 🥲

Rhian | Small-time Hijinks @small-time-hijinks.bsky.social · 2y ago

Been working on this cross stitch piece recently. The colours are so cheerful! It's relaxing and going quite quickly, since it's so small. I think next time I'll try something bigger.

A cross stitch piece in progress on white Aida fabric, with a purple gradient sky with moon and stars, plus the start of some grey and pink clouds. In one corner of the piece is a needle minder. It's got a happy frog on it, with the text "Don't worry be hoppy!"

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"? Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

Sex Redefined: The Idea of 2 Sexes Is Overly Simplistic

Biologists now think there is a larger spectrum than just binary female and male

A little wig try-on for my SDGr Sophie. I think I like her best as a pale blonde. In this dress she reminds me a bit of Holliday Grainger as Lucrezia in The Borgias. #SD_Sophie #SD_ソフィー #dollsky

It's also the day for my favorite meme! If this aging Klingon warrior can get it right, so can anyone.

Faceups are so difficult! I'm trying not to be too hard on myself, but I might have to redo the one on the SDGr Sophie (the lines really are a complete mess and the eyeliner doesn't match). I do quite like the one on my green goblin girl (DoDollsDream Lullaby Miss Ao).

Happy 26th birthday Volks! 🥳 To fit the pink theme, I knitted Rufus this sweater, and finished it just in time. I didn't originally think pink would be his colour, but I love these softer colours with his stern, grumpy face. #sdハッピーバースデー

I think this is my most productive month (for doll photos and blog posts) ever. It's almost as if there's a constant stream of awful news that creates the need for massive escapism... But I got a Hewitt and he's really cute. small-time-hijinks.com/blog/2025/02... #dollsky #superdollfie #スーパードルフィー
