Those Doll Related Christmas Gifts I Mentioned

   Hello! I haven't disappeared. We've been getting electrical work done at the house, so we've been there. I'm still clearing up things that were thrown around after the fire. I'm also finding more damage than I thought. We had wonderful pocket doors between the foyer and the living room, and I discovered the other day that they won't pull out any more. Another area of the wall in the foyer has gone from looking fine, to looking a bit bulgey, to the plaster being ready to drop out. At least the lathe is still there, so I think I can plaster that, unlike Fuzz's room, where the lathe has been chopped out. That will have to be drywalled, which I really hate. My sister tells me that I am not capable of plastering, "even if we do have it in our blood". (Our grandpa was a professional plasterer.) All I can say is, I'm going to try to channel Grampa and do it myself, because we can't afford  to have it done.

  As it has been so dark, with no electricity and the windows boarded up, there are other things I come across. With no windows in Fuzz's room for a few days, and the boards that are on them not really sealing the windows up, 'things' get in. We've had at least two birds in the house while we've been out. Ken got one out of the house, but he found a dead one in the basement. (We've had to keep the basement door open, because our cat Arky won't come upstairs, or let himself be caught. He's been down there for a year now! I got him upstairs twice, and since then, he won't come up.) So, what do birds do? Besides singing, I mean. I keep finding more places the birds pooped all over the house. And mice. It's going to be a lot of work when we get back in!

  But enough of that. I said I'd show you my doll related Christmas gifts. Here's the first one. Ken bought me this cute pig ornament when we went shopping at Jungle Jim's, a huge store where they have everything, including foods from around the world.

 

    Ken also got me this Calico Critters Tea and Treats set.

I want real yard furniture like this.

  Since it's for Calico Critters it's more dollhouse sized than fashion doll sized. It fits Tammy World's brother, Gareth, quite well.

  Not too long ago I showed you some Smiskis. Ken got me three.

One of them was an adult and a baby Smiski.

They glow in the dark, and they do it much better than the Boo Berry he also got me.

Emma got me this Alice in Wonderland Tea Party set by Re-Ment.

  It's not the whole tea party. You buy it in pieces. I got the set with the rabbit.

She also got me a World's Smallest Scrabble. I already have two, but I didn't want to tell her that. Maybe I can trade one for a different game at some point.

And Emma also got me an actual working mini Rubik's Cube type puzzle.

And this mini mini golf set.

And in non doll related news, she also got me tickets to see an Alice in Wonderland ballet in February.

  Ivy was making something for me, but it isn't finished yet. But she brought me my other gifts: three Miniverse Make It Mini Food sets.

 

There were two pumpkin pie ones. Ivy didn't know they said what they were on the label. That's okay though. You can have two pumpkin pies.

There was also a coffee set. I'll pretend it's chocolate milk. I hate coffee.

The packages were decorated with Halloween things.

Oh, Emma also got me this mini box set, with mini labels and packing tape.

  The set of boxes comes from Temu, because I liked it when I saw it on there. I wouldn't buy it though, because it was one of those things I reacted to with, "I  could make something like that."

  My sister got me this cute tiny turtle, because, how cute is this guy?

  And of course you already saw the amazing hand made Pee Wee Herman doll my sister made for me, and the cool 11" Pee Wee doll that she bought for me, and the Muppet Christmas Carol Gonzo, and the Made to Move Barbie Ken got for me. I am hoping to get back into our house sometime this month, but it's a race. Our windows are supposed to be installed on the 23rd. Yay!

Doll-A-Day 2019 #110: The Healthnuggles

  A couple of days ago we saw some tiny anthropomorphic bears. Today we're going to look at another anthropomorphic family. It's this little bear family.

They're called the Healthnuggles.

They're Li'l Woodzeez.

Li'l Woodzeez are made by Battat, who also make Our Generation dolls. The dolls aren't marked at all, and their clothes are only marked like this:

And the furniture is only stamped with numbers. But the bedding is marked Battat.

 

Li'l Woodzeez are obviously meant as competition for Sylvanian Families,and Calico Critters. Like those lines,Li'l Woodzeez is made up of incredibly cute anthropomorphic animals,with all kinds of cute houses and playsets. The furniture resembles Sylvanian Families furniture.

The family consists of Dad...
 

Dad is 3 inches tall.

Mom...

Mom is also 3 inches tall.

...the older kid,and the baby.

Older kid is 2 1/2 inches tall, and the baby is 1 3/4 inches tall. I'm guessing these kids weren't originally naked.

The bed obviously belongs to the older kid.

You can watch a commercial  for Li'l Woodzeez HERE.

  That's it for today. For those of you celebrating Easter tomorrow,have a happy Easter. I'll be here alone all day, as Ken has to work, Emma is coming when Ken gets off work,Ivy is at college,and Fuzzyand his girlfriend aren't coming until the evening. But when everybody gets here we will be exchanging Easter baskets,(Yes, I still make up Easter baskets for the kids,and Ken too! These days Emma and Fuzz want less edibles and Ivy wants just as much. So I replace most of Fuzz and Emma's basket budget with things,not sweets.),and we'll have dinner. Emma had her wisdom teeth removed earlier in the week,and she still can't eat spicy foods or things that take much chewing. I can't eat spicy foods because my LPR diet doesn't allow it. So we'll be having regular mashed potatoes for us,and Ken and Fuzzy will be the onyl ones to eat the curried eggs I usually make.I'm making some artichokes,which are Emma's favourites, but she's not sure she'll be able to eat them.
