Old Updates


November 4, 2009

Hi! I am still dolling albeit slowly with school in full swing now.  I will update around Thanksgiving if not earlier.  I do have new dolls and a bunch of new gifts.  It's just that getting up at 4.30 a.m. every day is so hard!  So, don't give up on.  Blessed Be!

August 28, 2009


IBelle gave me a beautiful gift today that made me smile and feel good!  You can see it up above or on my Gifts Page.  Thank you IBelle!
August 27, 2009

A huge update!  There probably won't be another one for a while--a month or so.  I am going back to school soon.  SIGH.  I added seven new dolls---I have been prolific this summer!  You can see them below and on My Pixel Doll Page.  I added a few new shop orders and gifts on my Adopted, Gifts, and Pixels Page.  I also added a modified Vintage Barbie Base on My Resources and Base Page.  But, the biggest news of all is that I have two new wonderful sisters, IBelle and Raven!  Their gifts to me and my gifts to them are below and on My Sister Page.  Check out their websites.  It's been a good summer, but it went too fast.  As always.  I dread going back---25 years to life with no time off for good behavior!  I am in a dolling slump at the moment--I am just not sure what to do next.  I think I am just anxious about school.  There is so much more I had wanted to do for my website this summer---outlines, a dollmaker, more bases....so be it.  So, thanks for looking and as always Blessed Be!

And I am still having color issues with transferring my dolls from photoshop to the web..grrrr.

And Rest In Peace Dominick Dunne---you will be missed.

July 13, 2009
My update is finally done!!  Phew.  So, I added seven new dolls that you may see below in My Latest Creations or on my Pixel Doll Page.  I am hard on myself for not writing--well, I wrote plenty in the doll narrations!  I added several new poses to my Selena base on My Resources and Bases Page.  I finally!  organized all my gifts, adoptions and pixels onto one page: Adopted, Gifts & Pixels Page.  That one page still needs some organization, but at least it is way better than it was.  I also reordered some of my dolls on my Pixel Doll Page, but I am the only one who will notice that!  I added, right below this text, a link to my pussy cat, Brighid on The Animal Rescue Site.  It is her story. What else....I added an extraordinary gift from Raven, which you can see above and on my newly organized Gifts Page.  I updated my forum buttons--Ship of Dreams is back!  I think that covers it.  I will definitely do another update before I got back to that place that claims me for ten months of the year--shudder.  It is only mid July, I still own myself for another 6 six weeks!  I am going away for two weeks to Illinois to see my grandparents this week and I turn 32 tomorrow!  Let the wrinkles begin! LOL.  Blessed Be!

April 12, 2009


A Huge update!!  I added lots of dolls you may see below and on my Pixel Doll Page and I am in the process of updating all my gifts from my wonderful friends on my Gifts and Adoptions Page and General Pixel Art Page.  It may be a while before I have my gifts all updated!  I still have 2 more photobucket pages to go.  And, it may be awhile before another update because I am back to school tomorrow.  But, I am dolling as you can see.  Blessed Be one and all!

April 12, Part 2

I got up all my gifts!  Phew!  I realize my adoptions, gifts, and pixels are all dis-ordered and I need to address that this summer.  I will.  So pardon the mess, but they are all up.  So yay!  I also added some awards and a Zelda doll edit to my Pixel Doll Page.  I added some new base positions to Selena, although the skin tone seems lighter when I upload--I don't know why.  Blessed be and thanks for looking!

March 21

Blessed Ostara!  A new update and some dolls  coming the week of April 5--when I am on break!  Blessed Be!

February 8, 2009

I know.  So long between updates.  School keeps me sooo busy.  When I do have time, I guess I choose to doll rather than update.  But, finally.  A new image at the top of the page in honor of Imbolc--a wonderful gift from Midnight at Charmed Pixels.  Imbolc is February 2 or so depending on which calender---but it is the time of the year in which The Goddess Brigid lights the flames that will usher in Spring. 

I joined a fantastic new forum, Charmed Pixels.  It's a great pagan pixel forum and I am so grateful to have found it.  Tre Chic is now Couture.  Same great people, just a different look and name.  I added both those link buttons.

I also added several new dolls--see them below or on my Pixel Doll Page.  I tried really hard to create an Imbolc doll, but too much pressure on myself I guess.  No go. 

I also added some pixel gifts and adoptions on my General Pixel Art and Adoptions and Gifts Pages!

I have a ton more of gifts and adoptions I need to add sooner than later and a few new arm poses for my Selena base--last time I uploaded them the color was off.  So, I am dolling, just not always updating.  I am working on some great challenges at The Last Gate and hope to have time to do some more base work too--and an Imbolc doll.

I hope you all have a Blessed and Sparkley Valentine's Day!  Blessed Be!

December 20, 2008

A small update--a Winter Solstice Doll for all my friends and in honor of The Great Mother Goddess.  Blessed Be!  I have a myriad of gifts to add to my collection from my dear friends, but not tonight!  Again, may your Christmas, Hanukkah, and Solstice be blessed and filled with health, love, and sparkly gifts!  I also added text to my St. Lucia Doll.  See them on My Pixel Doll Page or Below!

December 11, 2008

It has been too long!  Thanks to a snow day, I updated.  I added new dolls--see below or on My Pixel Doll Page.  I added a new base too.  I also added a bunch of gifts on my Pixel Art and Gifts and Adoption Page. 

If I don't update before Christmas, yeah, probably not...Have a Blessed Christmas full of sparkles, health, joy, love,  and wishes come true!  Blessed Be!

Last time I updated, it was pre-election.  Well, the other guy won.  What can I say?  I am still demanding a recount because I think the real winner is PhotobucketShe got cheated.  She would trump all those other candidates!  Barbie and Rice 2012!



October 18, 2008

Another update!  I added two new dolls.  See them below and on my Pixel Doll Page!  Also, I added an adoption on my Gifts and Adoption Page. I added an Animal Rescue Site on my Media Links page--all you have to do is click on the page every day and you help animals!  Do it, or be a baaaaaad person!  Blessed Be!

Who knows if I'll update before the election--so if I don't---McCain and Palin in 2008!  Don't just vote for change, vote for our future.

October 4, 2008

Finally an update!  The summer was not what I wanted it to be.  But, life is always a box of chocolates. . .anyway, when it comes down to dolling or updating, I usually doll.  But I updated tonight.  I added a bunch of dolls you can see below or on My Pixel Doll Page.  I also added BASES! I added a few Gifts and Adoptions.  And, a new forum button---you must check out Tre Chic!

Who knows if I'll update before the election--so if I don't---McCain and Palin in 2008!  Don't just vote for change, vote for our future.

July 24, 2008

I haven't narrated my updates very well--but new stuff on my Adoptions and Gifts page, Pixel Doll Page, and General Pixel Art Page.  I added my second Barbie base today and two more new dolls.  See them below! ALSO!  I added a new page Resources and Bases where you can find my bases and hopefully some other stuff soon.  I have to add some great birthday gifts and a couple of adoptions that are amazing--but that'll have to wait as I am off to the Oak Wood tomorrow for two weeks.  Who knows who or what I'll return with?  Blessed Be!

July 11, 2008

Oh My!  Another update in progress!

July 4, 2008

I have been doing A LOT of updating...I will write up a full update note at some point...but major update!  Finally!  Blessed Be!

May 18
I know it is just wrong of me to not have updated in so long.  One word: teacher.  I have so much to do all the time.  When I have time I choose to doll over updating.  I have several dolls to put up--just need the time.  So, I haven't forgotten.  I have all these ideas for this site.  I just have to finish school.  So---June 26 and I'm done.  Stick with me!  I am still here and dolling!

February 13

A major update today after over a month and a half with no update!  I added four new dolls you can see below or on My Pixel Doll Page.  I am really excited.  I really feel that I am improving.  I love dolling!  I didn't update for so long because my grandmother crossed over to the Other Side and I was busy completing my MFA.  But, I did it all.  So, there it is.  I must sleep soon, so that's it.  But, keep checking for more updates and new stuff.  I have some creative new ideas.  I just need time and independent wealth!  Have a Blessed Valentine's Day!

December 27

Only another month without an update!  At least I got one in before the New Year.  I added a slew of dolls you can see below and on My Pixel Doll page.  I also added a plethora of gifts on My Pixel Art page and Adoptions and Gifts page.  I was voted Member of the Month at Ship of Dreams, so I am pretty excited about that!!  I received a beautiful pendant--look up! 

I am very much still dolling although I am entering the final graduate school hour, so another update might be a while.  I have big plans for my little space on the internet here, so keep checking back. 

I wish everyone a Healthy, Happy, Blessed New Year.

Something is amiss with Shadowlady's links on my site.  I will fix them as soon as I find out the right address and why it isn't working for me!

November 25

I just added two more dolls!  See below and on my Pixel Doll Page.  I also added a few more pixel gifts on My Pixel Art Page.  Lastly and most importantly I added a new In Memoriam Page.  So, I am dolling again!  Yay!  Blessed Be!

November 18

Oh My!  My first update in like three months!  Yowza!  See I do exist!  Grad school is on the way down swing--I just have to teach my seminar.  So, I should in theory have more time.  Although teaching seems to be a never ending vampire....I added two new gifts at my Entrance.  I also added FIVE--yes, count them, FIVE new dolls below under My Latest Creation and on you can check out these same dolls along with my others on My Pixel Doll Pages.  I have a few more general pixels to add, one more doll--the first after my hiatus, and a special dedication doll.  But, this is what I had time for today.  Thanks for looking and leave me a Greeting in my tag box or sign my Guestbook.  Blessed Be!

Keep checking in for more frequent updates! 

It has also come to my attention that some of the links on my site are mixed up and I intend to address that soon.  I am very sorry!  I would like to say it is Freewebs fault but the last time I made a major update was after 12 am in August while watching Project Runway--so it may very well be my fault.


October 6,

Wow.  I have needed to update for a long time. And, I actually have several dolls I made this summer that haven't made it up yet!  But, I am overwhelmed with teaching and graduate school.  The grad school is a lot more consuming than I thought this term.  So, please don't give up.  But, it may be a while before I update again, but I am still dolling and still attentive to this site.  I am just swamped!!!

August 25

I added two new dolls, a gift, a picture of my tattoo, and a gift from Rain!  You can see my new dolls below under My Latest Creation or on my Pixel Doll Page.  My autumnal gift from Rain is on My Pixel Doll Page as a header.  And, the picture of my tattoo--what?--yeah, my tattoo is on my Life in Pictures Page! 

School is too quickly approaching which means dolling will be curtailed.  Ho hum.

But, I will never be far from Avalon--my heart is in Avalon.

Remember Haich finally has her new site, Haich's Dolls, up!  Check it out!  I have taken my page of hers down. 

I am still working on a Full Doll Tutorial!  Yeah, me!  It is gonna take me a while, but keep an eye out!

Thanks for Looking!


August 18, 2007


Huge update!  First, Haich finally has her new site, Haich's Dolls, up!  Check it out!  I have taken my page of hers down. 

I added three new dolls whom you can see below under My Newest Creations or on My Pixel Doll Page. 

I added two new gifts to the top of  My Homepage and my Adoptions and Gifts Page.  I feel so Blessed!

Xena of The Dollery has created a Dolling Guide and I linked that on this page under Dolling Links.  It is a terrific resource.

Constance of SOD made me a beautiful portrait you can see on my General Pixel Art page.

Two new media links--New Witch and the incomparable Bill Lychack!  You can find these on my Doll, Art, and Media Links Page.

And, I added 5 new pictures to My Life in Pictures Page.

Finally I am working on a Full Doll Tutorial!  Yeah, me!  It is gonna take me a while, but keep an eye out!

Thanks for Looking!

August 2, 2007

Rain is my new Sister!!  Check out her website, Amethyst Rain, and her doll on My Sister Page.  I am so thrilled.  Chocolate glitter for all!  Also, I added a new doll to the top of my Homepage in honor of Lammastide.  She is a gorgeous gift from Storm!  Thank you!

August 1, 2007


I added my two latest dolls, Zelda as a Flapper and Fay the Faerie, and a Harry Potter Wand on my General Pixel Art Page.  I haven't gotten in as much dolling as I had hoped this summer, but the dolling I am doing is good I think!  So check out my new dolls below or on my Pixel Doll Page. 


July 20, 2007

Harry Potter Day!  Sorry, no Potter dolls.  But, I did add a WWII themed doll and a sexy vampire.  You can see them below in My Latest Creations or on my Pixel Doll Page.  I also added some great pixels I have acquired on forums on my General Pixel Art Page.  I am working on another Zelda now.  Keep checkin'!  Cheers!

July 10, 2007


Wow!  It has been a long time since my last update!  I have three new creations which you can see below in My Latest Creations.  I have also rearranged my Pixel Doll Page by theme rather than the order in which they were made.  It should make it easier for people (especially a certain horse loving woman whose names begin with a P and end with an M--I love you!) to sort through my dolls.  So check out my new layout!  I have over 40 dolls--I had no idea I had that many!  I am supposed to be doing a lot of writing this summer, but I am also finding dolling time, so I hope my updates will be more frequent.  I also want to add some participation awards and more art and media links.  Keep checkin'!

Oh and to that P-M person---just scroll down the page for my new dolls.  Scroll with the mouse and the cursor and the blue bar!  I love you!

And, Haich will be getting a website soon-- I will leave her page up her, because currently The Magic Garden is off-line, but when she is all set--I will take her page off my site.  Yay for Her!  I will also post her new site address.


June 20, 2007

I just added my newest doll, She Who Jingles When She Walks, in her dancing regalia.  Check her out below and on my Pixel Doll Page

I am off to graduate school tomorrow, so I will not update for a while. I have been totally consumed with finishing up my teaching year and getting ready for grad school, so that is why it took me almost a month to update again.   I want to be more regular and update a lot more--and I will in July and August.  I am still here!  Just  being monopolized by other priorities.

Remember Faerie Day June 24!


June 3, 2007

Finally!  I have been ridiculously busy with tutoring, teaching, and grad work--which is why I am updating at 12.40 am.  I added 3 new dolls which you can see Below under My Latest Creation! or on My Pixel Doll Page.  I have a new Sister--Alayna!  Check out her site and her gift to me on My Sister Page.  I posted an award from Jenny M's Midsummer Contest on My Pixel Doll Page to My Midsummer Doll.  I want to add a bunch of media links and other such stuff--but it will have to wait until July.  I hope to doll and update again in June--but I leave for grad school around June 20th so I will be consumed until the beginning of July.


May 13, 2007

I just added Shadowlady's remake of my doll, Marina, and my newest Zelda for Round 2 at Miss Doll History. You can see them below or on my Pixel Doll Page.  I am still working on updating Haich's page, but I am so busy--I chose to update my site today rather than read the newspaper!  Keep checking in and sign My Guestbook or Tag Me

A Blessed Mother's Day to all!

May 6, 2007

HUGE update!  I added a new doll--here and on My Pixel Doll Page--that I am making for a contest with Shadowlady, My Sister.  I also added a new media site, Thrift books; a new artist site, Amethyst Rain; and a new Spiritual Site, Amy Brown--to my Art And Doll Links Page. I received an EXQUISITE gift from Orchid for Beltane--see above!  And, I also received an award from Jenny M for 3rd Place in the Barbie Contest!  You can see my Barbie and the Award on My Pixel Doll Page.

Biggest of all, Haich, on of the best dollers, is unfortunately losing her site due to hosting and busy life issues. I was devastated to think that her site, which I check every day won't be online anymore--so I offered to put some of her bases and dolls on my site.  She was gracious enough to allow me to host her Pixel Art until she gets her site up again--and I am so honored!  So, there is a new page on my site--but nothing on Haich's Magic Garden Page belongs to me--it is all Haich!  I am working with her to get the proper credits up and more bases and dolls.  My profound apologies for my layout being so plebian compared to hers.  And, I cannot wait until Haich gets her own site up again!  Go check out her site before it is gone!

Remember to Tag Me or sign My Guestbook.

April 28, 2007

I just updated with a new medieval doll I made for a contest at Harman's.  I fixed my Memorial Banner and I added a new forum link.  I am still swamped with non-dolling things, but I am trying to doll and update as much as I can!

I am trying something different--and putting my most recent dolls on My Home Page.  So, PLEASE check out My Pixel Doll Page for my other dolls, but I am posting the images here--right below my updates.

April 15, 2007

I forgot to mention that I have a new Sister on My Sisters Page --Cloud9!  I added 3 new dolls on My Pixel Doll Page, 2 gifts on My Adoptions and Gifts Page, 2 new banners on this page-here and here, and a banner and link on My Art and Doll Links.  I am going back to school tomorrow so my dolling will be curtailed for a while, but I will still be here. . .on the Isle of Apples.

This month is my one year dolling anniversary!  Yay for me!  Don't forget to leave me A Greeting or sign My Guestbook!

April 7, 2007

Happy Spring and Easter!  I have made major updates!  I added 3 new dolls to My Pixel Doll Page, an Adoption, and three Gifts!  I have been dolling away--I hope to do a remake of my muse and maybe an Easter doll soon.  I also want to update my Art and Doll LinksMovie and Book Reviews, and Pictures--just need batteries. It has to be before I return to that place...Enjoy Spring!  Don't forget to Tag Me or sign My Guestbook!  The Blog may have had it for a while...

March 31, 2007

Update fury!  I added 2 dolls to My Pixel Doll Page--actually three.  I added 2 Forum Link Buttons.  I added a new Dollmaker Link.  Pretty exciting.  School keeps me busy, but I have a bit of a break now...so I'm a-dollin'.  Don't forget to Tag Me or Sign My Guestbook!

March 3, 2007

I added a two new pages today Art and Doll Links and Link Me.  The Art and Doll Page has links for magazines, dolls, artists, and inspiration!  The Link Me Page has my link buttons plus a new Link Button made by My Sister Shadowlday!

February 26, 2007

I just added another Barbie on My Pixel Doll Page!  She is different than any other I have done!  I hope to get more pictures up too soon!

February 16, 2007

I just updated by Pixel Doll Page and My Sisters Page with my latest creation--A Sister Doll for Shadowlady!  I also added a 2nd Place Award I received from Arielle's Grotto for my Modern Day Gypsy--on My Pixel Doll Page.  My first real award!

February 11, 2007

Wow.  I am still here.  I just added a slew of pictures on My Life in Pictures Page of my new kitty, my dolls, and my mom's newest pet.  I am dolling.  But, as usual school seems to take over my life.  Getting a new computer and going wireless and life just takes so much time.  So, please keep checking.  I am almost finished with a new doll!

January 27, 2007

I finally got my new Intel 2 Duo MacBook and I love it!  I also finally fixed my Sister Shadowlady's and my first collab on My Pixel Doll Page.  I am working on her Sister Doll now.  But, school is keeping me very busy.  Hopefully, I will soon have some new pictures of my beautiful, magickal, precious new cat, Brighid and some other pictures too--and dolls!

January 13, 2007

Oy. School keeps me busy.  I made a major update today.  Although there won't be any new dolls for a while, even though I MUST make a Sister doll for Shadowlady and Ty.  My computer, my Mac, my baby has a short in her monitor.  I am so heartbroken. 

Anyway.  I have a new Sister!  Shadowlady!  I was so surprised and honored!  She is on My Sister Page.  I added a few Christmas gifts on my Gifts and Adoptions Page.  I updated My Blog.  And, I added my latest Doll--a collab with Shadowlady on My Pixel Dolls Page.

Lastly, I got rid of all that unsightly white space on My Pixel Dolls Page!

January 1, 2007

Happy New Year everyone!  May it be healthy, happy, and full of dreams and wishes come true.  I was going to update with a new doll and blog entry--but alas, I return to teaching tomorrow so the update will wait.  Next weekend I should have 2 dolls! yay me!  And a blog update.  Faerie Blessings on one and all!

I am so very busy right now with SAT tutoring, teaching, and grad school that I can barely breathe--but I have not forgotten dolling or this site. 

Soon, I will include my SISTER, Loiran, in my layout and make a special place for her!

Thank you, Loiran. Check out her great website--Loiran's Corner!

September 17

I finally put up a new doll!  I have had her done for a while, but it took time to make her transparent.  I am only dolling once a week now.  Check her out. She is in my Pixel Dolls section. Buffy and her school-girl buddy are on the way.  Hope to blog soon too.

September 10

I am back teaching again--so my updates will be less regular, but I am still dolling and updating.  I wrote a genius blog update yesterday and lost it!  Oy.  So, don't give up--I am still here. 

Let us remember those who died five years ago tomorrow--those who were innocent victims, those who were heroes and saved countless others lives.  Blessed Be.
