Hello, My Long Lost Pals!

Hello there, all my long lost pals out there! You've all been so kind to ask about us. We're so sorry to cause people to worry.

I haven't been able to blog much lately because mommy's had her hands full with some new developments in her life. We should probably fill everyone in... Let's start with today and move backwards, shall we?

Today was the Atlanta Halloween Blythe Meet and it was a total blast. We really missed some of our regulars, but we got to meet some great new folks!


It was so much fun. We ate, swapped, crafted, and talked lots!


Looky looky here! Dianne crocheted us these awesome little pumpkins. Cute pumpkins should be worn, not just displayed. That way, they will always be with you and never get left behind. So I told mommy to make mine into a headband. Mommy liked my idea so much that she snapped one for Picture 46/365 for the 365 Days Blythe Project.


Lookit how adorable we all look with our pumpkins and headbands!


There were so many lovely goodies from everyone! I will be fat and happy all the way until Halloween! Thank you thank you thank you!!!


Along the lines of other developments...

In mid-September, mom and dad visited Auntie M and Uncle Oidon at Anime Weekend Atlanta recently. I got to go too and we had a good time. I tried on a Blythe hat that Auntie M made for humans to wear. Humans sure do have large noggins.


And on to the more serious stuff... Around the beginning of September, mom started a new job. She's still at the same company, but just in a different area.

It's been really different for her. She loved her old job lots and lots, but she really wants to build her resume with more accounting experience to complement her finance work. Gee whiz, adults are so complicated and serious. All I want is to add some more cupcake eating to my food experience.

She's such a dork that she freaked out when she found this vintage calculator at an antique sale intown. Yes, only finance and accounting nerds collect calculators.


On top of her new job, mommy is taking 7 credit hours this semester, which leaves her way too little time for me. Boo.

And on top of THAT, she's still doing shows and festivals with her jewelry business. There was the Candler Park Fall Fest last weekend. Next weekend will be the Avondale AutumnFest. And then she has the Paideia Art Visions show in November.

When will the craziness stop? I have no idea. Daddy and I keep trying to tell her to slow down, but she is as stubborn as they come.

And finally... Mommy is getting REALLY FAT. It's all in her belly. She says it's because she's growing me a sister. Zelda, Ramona, and I came from a factory in Japan, so I have no freaking clue what she's talking about. This is our only clue...


Ta-ta for now, and we hope to update you all again soon!

Molli, let me begin by saying that growing a sister takes much, much longer (a whole long 9 months!!!) than another B' sister... It's a bit like a really long pre-order waiting list :D In the meantime, I hope you and the others will take good care of her and let her get as much rest as she can...

Anyway, we are glad to hear you are all well as we had missed reading all about you and your adventures. Give your mommy our love and best wishes, xXx

SO happy for you, about your fabby pumpkin headband and your haul of LOOT from the meetup (which really makes me wish I lived closer...)
but MOST OF ALL,
the future new SISTER!
All the best to all of you!
Hugs,
Greta

Wow.. so happy for your Mommy to have a new baby!! Congrats!
Molli, your pumpkins are very cute, of course you are the cutest pumpkin there! :)
Molli, good luck to you and your mommy! :)

Aha! I sussed this out awhile back, Molli. Your mommy was just tooo mysterious and quiet and this was the only explanation! How exciting! Boy, if you had to adjust to Zelda and Ramona, Molli, look out! You might as well start pouting now because mom and dad are going to be verrry busy and preoccupied! How exciting and congrats!
xo,
Gina, Lilly, Maggy & Zena (the rest of the girls have "downsized")

Hiya Molli! Mom's been a poop head lately so I'm really late in checking out the blog! The Halloween party looks like it was a load of fun times. The pumpkins are too cool.

The jewelry you mom makes looks really pretty and cool. Gosh she does have a lot on her plate!

A human sister! *faint* You will have so much training to do, I hear little humans have minds of their own or some such silliness.

You take care of yourself and you mom!!!

Aloha Linda & girls,

That Halloween Blythe Meet looked like such a blast!

Molli looks wonderfully festive in her black dress, striped orange tights, and pumpkin head topper! I love it!

And I still can't get over that amazing ultrasound picture.

Happy Halloween to you all!

Hugs,
Rima

wow! I am behind. Congratulations on your "newest one" and wow I didn't know you were in finance/accounting...that's what I'm studying in school right now. Thats why I haven't been around the dollies at all for the past few months. I hope to see you and the rest of the girls soon though. Happy Black Friday!
