Clara (portrayed by porcelain ball-jointed doll Isabelle) sits in front of the Christmas tree hugging her beloved Nutcracker, wondering what she can do to save him.

This image is now available on a variety of products on my stores at Cafe Press, Zazzle, Red Bubble, and my deviantArt print shop.

I love the story of Nutcracker and Mouseking! The ballet, the music, the original book… they are all really good! I found a cute little Russian cartoon that was inspired by the ballet:

Also, Isabelle, the doll in the photo, is my newest porcelain BJD. She was my Christmas present. I just now realized that I did not write a post about her. I will try to do that in the next week or so...

Mini Dachshund Ringo is in love with stuffed dachshund Elvira. Will she return his affections? Conversation hearts tell of Ringo's love, while two large dachshund tables act as chaperones.

Ringo and I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas, and we wish you many blessings in the new year. Happy 2014!! :D
