    I just wanted to say Thank you to you and your sister. This 65 year year old grandma has been watching your channel for years and I Thank you for every video you guys make. I have learned so much from you ❤️❤️❤️

    I love that ,when you had mentioned “other TH-camrs are able to paint and decorate and do all these really cool things with their dolls, doll furniture. Their doll collectibles and look so perfect.” Then when you do the same project, it gets everywhere. You are not alone! I was simply trying to paint a little scene for my dolls where I took pieces of egg carton, and made stone out of it. However, when I try to glue it down and painted glue got all over the table. It did get in my hair my finger stuck together. I got glue on my eyelashes ,”which I don’t even know how that happened.” so thanks for mentioning that.😂😂

      I'm glad to know I'm not the only super messy doll crafter! It's impossible not to get things like glue and paint on everything!

    Good afternoon, Sunshine. You are such a kind and sweet soul doing this for your sister. The love you share for your family is beautiful. I noticed that your family was with you while you were filming your intro. I know that sounds weird, but there was a beautiful white mist surrounding you as the sunlight came through. It looked like your mom and dad and pepe were with you. Hope that is comforting to you and not too weird. Loved this video so much. xoxo

    I really enjoyed watching this, miniature dollhouses and miniature dolls are one of my first loves! It's a great idea to build Dawn a hippie house, I love all of the bright colors. I found a Dawn carrying case in good condition on Friday at an antique store and snapped it up, along with Molly's white trunk which I also found! And then got to watching this video which really inspired me to get my chores done so I can get back to miniatures. :) What a fun weekend!

    These are amazing! I absolutely love your color choices and the different combos you did for each piece of furniture and room. I don't know, I don't think I could choose a favorite. It would be like choosing a favorite, cat: it can't be done!
    Long long time viewer of your channel and I can't say how much I love watching your videos. You've really gotten me into collecting as an adult. My goal is to one day fix up my childhood dollies and get them displayed. I started collecting boxed Barbies in the early 2000s when I was in high school and then moved to getting unboxed ones in the 2010sv after watching you. You inspire me so much! Maybe one day I'll get through the very overwhelming task of fixing everyone up! Until then I live vicariously through you and your sister!

    I also have my old dollhouse from the 70s that need some repairs on the connections of the walls and roof. I haven't done it when my son was little because he did not want to play with it. Maybe one day a grandchild will like it. My dad installed some lamps that worked with batteries back in the days.

    That looks great! I've been wanting to build a doll house for a while now. I got one from the goodwill years ago and furnished it and put up wall paper. We had a craft store called AC Moore that went out of business about 5 years ago here in Maryland and I bought a ton of really nice furniture for next to nothing so your video has got me thinking again about doing another doll house project. I just moved and I'm in the process of putting my doll room together but then I am going to try to do a dollhouse. It won't be as nice as yours but it will be fun. You really are very talented. I love your channel!

    Hi how are you? I watched your video "How I Reattach Dolly Neck Articulations" and wanted to know how can I reattach the anchor without breaking the pin that goes through it?
    The doll is a Barbie life in the dreamhouse

    • @AThousandSplendidDolls
      @AThousandSplendidDolls  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Most of the time the pin that goes through it breaks. The anchor is slid through the pin before the two halves of the mold are sealed together. So it's very hard, if not impossible, to slide the ring of the articulation over the pin. But even if the pin breaks, the articulation will still stay in place. I've had it happen to a lot of dolls over the years and they've been fine. The pin is just an extra security measure.

( I know it's personal & you can keep that info private if you'd rather not specify) It's just bc of how perfect & clear your American English sounds, free & absent of the New England accent, I assumed you were old stock colonial American (British Isles) descendant🙂‍↔️

      Thank you so much for your concern and kind words :) I love reading your comments, so never feel bad about leaving them! My channel is pretty slow these days, so it's not a lot of effort to respond to all the comments (TH-cam doesn't really push my videos out, even to subscribers). I've definitely already gotten my fair share of nasty comments since I switched them back on, but I'm in a better place now to handle them. I simply delete the comment, mute the person, and go on with my day. But I would absolutely turn them off if it was starting to get to me again. I think taking such a long break was very helpful for me. Thanks so much again, and best wishes to you and Priscilla!

      @@AThousandSplendidDollsOh good, that makes me happy to hear❣️ Block them, that’s what some other doll TH-camrs do. I really enjoy Angel and Tony Loza’s channel (they love your channel btw), and are siblings just like you and Colleen. In many older videos you don’t see or hear Tony except when he laughs at stuff Angel says (he’s become way more talkative now) anyway - people watching would comment mean things about his laughter!! Angel would tell them to stfu because Tony wasn’t going anywhere (they were roommates as well), and I think he just started blocking ppl who said mean things about Tony (as he should! We’re just lucky to be invited into your doll rooms, and that invitation can be revoked). Pardon my rambling. This was a lovely video. I think about my childhood a lot, too, it’s closer to me than ever this year. I’m glad to hear you’re still going strong!
