[crolly-dolly-folly]

My very first Crolly doll, which I named Missy, arrived this week. I will make another post about the history of Crolly dolls, but for now I am just excited to check her out!

Without further ado, here she is!

The first thing I did was remove her clothes, to get a good look at her condition. Her red shoes appear to be her original rubber cinderella shoes, size 5. The clothing seems to be from a child. Everything went into a sterile wash.

The next point of interest is the giant hole in her back. She didn't get shot by a canon, her squeaker/voice box is missing! Maybe some day I'll find her a replacement. 🥰

She smells VERY strongly of mould/damp, and one look inside confirms my fears- mildew, eew!! 😵‍💫

Her hair is green. I'm not sure if that is her original state, or whether it has faded over time. It also smells like death 💀

Her body is quite dirty and scratched all over. Look at these grubby little mitts!

I washed her with a mixture of warm water, dettol and washing up liquid. Many (filthy) water changes later, she looks and smells much better. I wiped her down with some antibacterial wipes and put a thick layer of conditioner in her damp hair overnight to combat the dry/tangled mess.

So, here we end our first post, with poor Missy left splayed out near a fan to help her insides to dry out for a little bit, while the conditioner does its job.

Fingers crossed that Tifa the cat won't attack her during the night 😝

I mentioned before I’m doing my work experience in a creche. I only got two days in last week before i picked something up from one of the babógs but i have another 5 days left before I’m back to regular classes but I’m going to have to have a serious look about doing a childcare course because I think this might be one of The Jobs that I want to do. I say I want to do a lot of things but really everything is just second to being an artist.

I’m so sad I was gonna change my header to babóg na Bealtaine, maighdean an tSamhraidh (song lyrics) cause it means May doll, summer maiden and my bday is in may but apparently it means maiden as in virgin

whoops

Instead of stockings when I was a wee babóg we'd just wake up with a pillowcase with stuff in it at the foot of the bed
