Belated Happy Easter

Enjoy some bunny pics:

Alternina

Squeak: *carefully inspecting tomato*

Squeak: Ok! You're a good tomato!

Nina: OMG, SQUEAK! What are you doing??

Squeak: Er... sorting tomatos... I thought that was obvious...

Nina: I mean, WHY ARE YOU WEARING THOSE GLASSES???
(please refer to this previous episode of why Nina opposes THOSE glasses)

Squeak: Oh! Heather asked me to wear them... she's calling me "Alternina"!!

*Squeak strikes a pose for the camera*

Nina: NO! You aren't cute enough to be THE Nina!! Also, have more self respect than that!
Squeak: THE Nina has a lot of self respect!
Nina: I mean DON'T LET HEATHER BOSS YOU AROUND!!!

Squeak: Hold it there, missy... you don't understand!

Squeak: Heather said if I pretend to be Alternina, I can have all the stuffed bunnies I want!
It might look like she's using me, but I assure you, it's all just a plan to bring me one step closer to my BUNNY ARMY!!!!!!!

Nina: Wow, I'm impressed. I wish I would have thought of that.

Squeak: I know, right? MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

And once again, anyone wondering who the *TRUE* Nina is,

please go here and read through all these, they are SO cute!

One bunny and a gleeful rendition of "Someone left the Christie out in the rain..."

 Just a tiny sewing project I completed...

more bunnies to come:

It must be tough for her...

she has to do all the dirty work...

(aka, the stuff I'm not willing to let the Neemos do, LOL)

Go check out Christie's adventures here:

New Little Purses

 I recently finished off two new purses, soon to be available in my etsy store,

but before I could list them, the Mori girls snatched them up and tried them out.

Miu: Look at this lovely little purse! It's just perfect, and just the right color!

Himeno: Oh yes, yes, mine too!

Miu: We even have a little Mori bear, hehe!

This adorable little bear is made by Ginger Brame of bearbits

Himeno: Do you think they'll make one of us ExCute girls into a little bear?

Miu: I hope so!

[EX☆CUTE] Miu | animals in the forest / Rabbit

Hello!

I'm Miu... I'm part of Azone's new EX☆CUTE collection

Animals of the Forest

We're girls who wear "Mori" style clothing :)

What?! You don't know what Mori is?!

Well... 

"Mori Girl fashion recently emerged in 2007 in Japan. Mori means "forest" in Japanese, and the style concept is "a girl who looks like she is living in the forest" The look is natural & earthy. The fictional archetype was declared as being the character of Hagu from Honey & Clover. The actual archetype of Mori Girl fashion is the actress Yuu Aoi, who as a matter of fact played Hagu in the Honey & Clover movie in 2006. Mori girl has developed not only as a style, but as a lifestyle as well! Quirky girls who love vintage clothing, pocket watches, tea, moss or going snooping in the grandma's attic will feel right at home in this fashion style. Although mori girl is natural, it does not mean it is simple! Mori girl does have a little bit of complexity to it."

Happy Birthday, Ella!

Wow, this month is just filled with birthdays!

Me: Hey, Ella, where's Squeak, I thought you guys were going to celebrate together?

Ella: I don't know, she was here, but then she left!

Me: Oh, hmm... a mystery! What's that you've got there though?

Ella: My birthday present!! A pet bunny!

Me: Aww, very nice... now you'll just have to name him. :)

Easter Bunny!

Kana: Hey, Bunny! You got a package!

Bunny: Oh, Kana... surely you jest! I don't know anyone, so who would send me a package? Hohohoho.

Kana: I don't know, OPEN IT AND FIND OUT!!!

Bunny: GAH! Whoa, bout a 9 on the tension scale there, Rubes.... 

Kana: Huh?

Bunny: It's a quote.... nevermind.

Bunny: Whoa, this is all for me?

Kana: Bunneeeeeeee.... soft bunny...

*the bunny hops out of the basket and scampers off*

Kana: No! Wait... Bunny!!!!

Bunny: *gasp* Black panties?! Kana... what a naughty girl.... 

Bunny: Oooh, what's this that was under the bunny?! A Sailor Moon Teacup and Saucer???? OMG! How did they know I LOVE anime????

Bunny: Oh, and carrots! They must be for the bunny, how thoughtful.

Heather (aka, booming, disembodied voice from the heavens): Uhm... I think those are chocolate... 

Bunny: Really??? Oh my! So much chocolate all for me!

Heather: Well... you *could* share...

Bunny: Thank you so much, mystery Easter Bunny Person!

Heather: Uh... there IS a card, you know...

Bunny: Card?

Heather: That paper, rectangle thing you flung out of the way to get to the presents.

Bunny: Oh! Well, let's open it!

Bunny: Wow, very cute paper!

Bunny: Oh! It's from Kirino!!! That girl we sent all those shoes to!

Heather: Yes, we sent her an Easter Basket too... and she chose YOU to receive hers.

Bunny: Why?

Heather: She wants to steal your Bunny hairclips while you sleep.

Bunny: WHA? 0_0

Heather: Just kidding... I don't know, she read everyone's profile and chose you... just say thank you.

Bunny: Thank you!!!!

Bunny: And thank you for this super cute bunny drawing!!! I will hang it up right away!

**These gifts came from our lovely friends, Innocentsake and Kirino**

[Such a Doll] The arrival of [Ex Cute] Classic Alice Koron... maybe...

Twig: Hum de dum dum dum de dum *looking at her sketches*

Twig: Oh! Hi everyone *hides sketches*... it's me again... I wouldn't be back so soon,

Twig: but I've got a new girl to review. She's another Pure Neemo, 

an older one this time, but not too old...

Twig: Her name is:

*whips bubblewrap off for the big reveal*

[Ex Cute] Classic Alice Koron

Twig: Isn't she... uh... isn't she... uh... Alice? Where's ALICE?!

Twig: WHY? WHYYYY? I'M DOOMED!!! I'VE LOST A DOLLY!!!!

Twig: I'm in so much trouble... I'll never be able to explain this... where could she have gone?

Carrot walks up to see what Twig is crying about.

Carrot: Twig, what's wrong?

Twig: Oh, Carrot... I've lost the doll I'm supposed to review... 

she was here, in this box, and now she's gone!

The commotion is drawing a crowd!

 Carrot: That's terrible! *pats Twig on the head* There, there, I'll help you look!

Mouse: What's going on?!

Carrot: Twig can't find the new girl she's supposed to be doing a review on.

Mouse: Oh, that's bad... I'll help look too.

Twig: *sniffle* R... really?? *sniffle*

Mouse: Of course!

Twig: Alright! Let's go!

Carrot: Boy, she sure snaps back quick.

Mouse: No doubt...

Twig: There she is! I'll karate chop her and then you two grab her and we'll drag her back to her box!

Carrot: Uh... Twig...

Mouse:I don't think this is the new girl...

Sophie: *waves at Twig* Uh, yeah, it's me, Sophie, I just put my default outfit back on.

Twig: Oh, oh, hi Sophie, sorry, my mistake. The girl I'm looking for is kinda frilly too.

*a mysterious, and beautiful, pair of shoes comes shuffling up*

Alice: Hello, everyone! My name is Alice!

Alice: Hi!

Twig: AHHHH!! ALICE!!! Why aren't you in your box?!

Alice: It was stuffy :(

Sophie: Ah, so this is who you were looking for, I can see why you made the mistake!

That is a lovely dress, Alice! My name is Sophie, pleased to meet you!

Alice: Why, thank you! Pleased to meet you too!

Carrot: *shouts at the top of her lungs* ALICE!!!!!!!!!!

Mouse: Oh my! Hello, Alice!

Carrot: *GLOMP*

Alice: AHHHHHH!

Twig: Whoa....

Carrot: We haven't seen you in forever! We missed you so much!! *hugs Alice*

Mouse: Alice, I'm so glad to see you're doing ok! We worried so much about you being left behind!

Alice: *blushes* Oh, thank you! I didn't know you were so concerned! I missed you terribly!

Mouse, Carrot and Alice used to live together at baldylox's house, but then Carrot and Mouse moved here, and Alice was left behind... ever since then, Carrot and Mouse have been very worried about Alice. They all missed each other terribly!

Alice: I am so pleased to be here! I'm so happy!

Sophie: You know, you *do* look kinda familiar...

Sophie and Alice are both the Koron face... they *should* look similar, LOL!

Alice: Thank you for welcoming me!

Sophie: No, seriously... you look *REALLY* familiar!

LOL, poor Sophie!

Twig: *whew* Ok! Now that that's done, let's get on with the review!

This is Alice's box... it's also cardboard, with Ex Cute printed on it, but the blue part with Koron's name is a sticker. I suspect they used this same box for Black Alice Lien too...

Twig: Since her picture is also printed on the back!

I have to say, the newer boxes are much more clever in terms of pricing... they are clear plastic, and all the naming and branding is on card stock paper that slips inside. It looks much snazzier than these older boxes too... or even Madoka's box!

Twig: Alice comes with her little bunny, a hair bow, those beautiful shoes, stockings, pantaloons, an apron and a blue dress! Everything in her set is just beautiful, and very, very well made!

She does have an older body, though, and her ankle joints are very weak... so I suspect that body may be replaced in the near future.

Anyhow, thank you for listening to me again as I babble about dollies!

And a great big welcome to Alice!!!
