DanceCat is having a Cow!
So, as I was saying: Elfdoll forgot to include one of the dresses I ordered and they put two right calves on my white catsy girl. I sent them a picture and informed them of the dress. Oka, responded with concern. She said she will send out the dress and a left calf if I have no problem re-assembling it myself. EEK!!! Forgot about that part!
I had a miserable day yesterday so I didn't get to share everything with you guys. They sent me lots of presents!! They included a sleeping gray girl head! As well as two mirror/comb sets, a skateboard (keychain, purrfectly catsy scale), and the black ruffled swirly, gray dress. My package was chock full of gifts!! It was very nice! I'll have to show some picures soon.
We are already in a heatwave here. They keep promising a break but... and my a/c isn't working in my car. Anyway, I'd like to get my new cat-gang outside for some nice outdoor shots. I planned on doing the box opening outdoors but it was way too hot. I'll try to get some nice photos done asap.
I'm glad you started this new thread, DanceCat -- I was thinking of doing it but . . . . and I'm glad to hear your issues with the doll parts and clothes will be resolved.
I was thinking of ordering another Catsy but see that the Elfdoll website lists all the Catsys as sold out -- so they must be restocking or . . .
Hey spenser, it does seem odd; every time I've been to the Elfdoll site the catsies are sold out. I believe their catsy ordering period is the 1st to the 15th of each month. Either I'm not paying good attention or they haven't been taking orders in some time.
I'm hoping it is just as you suggest -- that I too go to the site at the wrong time. Or maybe they are just now doing with their Tinies what they did with the larger dolls a while back.
Dare we hope for a new catsy??????
I'm willing to say it's pretty safe to hope for a new Catsy!! I know that a few of us have put in requests to Elfdoll for specific catsies.
At this point I'm willing to announce it on the forum - I asked them for a Scottish Fold. Oka loved the idea and said she'd present it to Rainman but that he had other projects going so even if he liked the idea it would probably be a while.
I also wish they'd release a fat cat catsy. But then they'd have to produce a clothing line for it, so I doubt it will happen.
Let's keep our fingers crossed, eh?
Oh wow yes a fat cat would be wonderful
People were looking at me like I had a transgendered potato in my bathroom
Just want to do a shout out to Sher - thank you for closing the first Catsy thread and letting us have this second thread!
I also felt that the first Catsy thread had gotten too long and was happy to see DanceCat start this new one. The older thread will still be available should anyone wish to read those posts. Lots of great pics and info in it! A big thanks to all who contributed to making is such a fun thread and hope we can make this "part 2" just as much fun!
Congrats on all those great gifts Elfdoll sent along with your order, DanceCat! They are really great about that and it's nice to hear they'll be shipping out the dress they forgot and that left calf to you, as well!
I like the idea of a fat cat but the clothes thing could be a problem unless Elfdoll made a lot of different outfits especially for it. My Catsies LOVE clothes! I guess I'm still pining away for a pink Catsy. If they don't decide to make one, I just may have to take matters into my own hands and create one. I just love the idea of a pink Catsy too much to let go of it easily.
Speaking of pink - Pink Panther has gone AWOL! I can't find him.I hope he hasn't run away. I feel terrible. He should've been there for the box opening, but I couldn't find him.
Ha-Ha!!! I be the first one to spam you!
I did Ivy's faceup today. I like it a lot. I gave her a lot of dark shadowing to accentuate her sculpt. I even pinky-blushed her paws!!
Wonderful job with the face up, DanceCat!
Thanks spenser, but I'm not sure. I keep looking at her. Something doesn't seem right. I didn't intend to get fancy with her, like I did with Shyla, but something isn't settling. Maybe I overdid it? I'll try to get better shots tomorrow.
It might just be the angle you took the picture at, perhaps. Or maybe just the shadows cast by the camera?Originally Posted by DanceCat
Looks like you did an excellent job on Ivy's face-up, DanceCat! It doesn't look overdone to me, but then perhaps you're seeing something I'm not. If I were you, I'd live with it, as is, for a few days and then see if it still needs any tweaking. And good luck with finding your Pink Panther! Wonder what he's up to that he's gone AWOL like that - perhaps he's off doing another advertising spot For Owens Corning insulation.
I think she looks fabulous DanceCat. I especially love the pinky paws. Look forward to more photos tomorrow

Hey guys - STUPID ME!!! Pink was in the dollhouse the whole time!!!Now why on earth would I have thought to look there???
Well, anyway, I found him and he is happily waving hello.
Remy decided to play with one of Chrome's hats and do a Jimmy Durante routine.
Pardon the still unfinished dollhouse.I haven't been able to paint the window frames a satisfying color. I wish I'd left them natural. I didn't paint the door and it matches the wallpaper just fine.
Initially I painted the window frames light blue but it didn't match at all. So I repainted them white pearl, which came out looking very yellowy. I gave up on everything considering I still need to paper that last wall! But shipping for one sheet of paper is ridiculous! I have to wait until I have the money to order a few items.
The Garfield (large) dollhouse is still on hold. I feel terrible about it. I put so much money and time into it and it's been idle. I've thought of dismantling it and throwing it away but I can't bring myself. It would be very difficult to sell it or give it away. And I really don't want to, it's just that our own house is so upside down right now that it's in the way. My feelings are displaced really. I can't get at it to work on or use it at all so in turn I'm feeling like I wish I just would have bought another smaller house. And if I buy another smaller house my fiance will get upset with me. Oy. What to do?
Cattwo, that was a funny you made about Pink Panther. But I am very glad that he's still working after all these years.
Thanks for the nice comments on Ivy's faceup, guys. I'll have to post a better photo of her.
Fabulous photo. Love your family. The house wont eat anything you can keep it until you are motivated/have space to do it justice.

imajica, you're funny, but you're right.
So many people do the bookshelf apartments for their tinies, I'm considering it an excellent space-saver idea! I am looking for bookshelves now. It seems all the craft stores in my area did away with their real wood shelves.
So glad you found Pink safe and sound, DanceCat! I had to google to remember what insulation company uses him in their advertising. Owens Corning has a pic of them on their site.Hey guys - STUPID ME!!! Pink was in the dollhouse the whole time!!!

And don't go putting yourself down for not finishing your dollhouse quicker! They take a lot of time to do and I've know others with numerous unfinished dollhouses they're still working on years later. I even have a lighthouse kit still in the closet that I got at least 5 years ago. All I ever did was pull out the instructions and say, "Well, this is going to take some time." and into the closet it went - lol! It's half scale, though, so I've no incentive to finish it, as my Catsies would be too big.
Hope we see more pics of Ivy soon! I think your face-up looks soft and lovely on her!
Thanks Cattwo, I really was relieved to see him!
Elfdoll refunded me for the dress I bought saying they couldn't get the fabric needed. This is the dress they sent as a gift; I wondered if that was why they sent the gift dress. It would seem so. Oh well. I like the black dress so much more but the gift will do.
Oh, by the way, my meet up is this Saturday and I have almost all the props I needed for my BBQ set up. I figure I'll just do the set up anyway, even though I don't feel fully prepared; there are other props I still need/want. But what the heck! So, I promise pictures of my cat-gang.

Have fun at your meet up this Saturday, DanceCat! Can't wait to see more pics of your cat-gang!
