Hello's there,

I am 33 and pretty short and smallish, thankfully heels correct part of the problem. For work I paint and write, above all I am an artist, a lazy one. I live with my husband of 13 years, daughter, 2 dogs, 1 rabbit and a hamster. This site for me is one I can indulge my fascination for Blythe and BJD's through photography with my friends.

I love taking pictures of my little girl who I adore and looks so much like my Blythe dolls and Boo from Monsters Inc. Wren has quite a few Petite Blythe's and a lovely Midnight Secret Tea Party whom she saved for herself-so sweet! Punkaholic People and Violet are Wren's Neo Blythe's that she has called Kitty and Kitty-Violet, which is so funny.

I have 3 Blythes, my Goldie Pen, then there is my Kenner Nixie and Blondie my second KB who has a ball of Candyfloss for hair. Then more recently I have my gorgeous boy, my DollShe Hound Amis.

I've always been interested in toys in photography, starting with rubber ducks and a rubber chicken, then chattery teeth and alien toys. I also collect James Jarvis figures and Japanese small vinyl toys like Domo and Marshall. Blythe are the most fun as you can continually change them with a little outfit, expression or light. Plus they are the cutest tiny girls!

I opened my wee store making feather and felt hairclippies with Pen in May last year which I'm really enjoying making and coming up with new ideas. I just love all the foofiness! Pen thinks she run's things but really so far all shes done is model and run off with the clippies! Recently I've started making felt tophats we call Toppers!

    "Suzy! I love Suzy! I love Pen too! :D I most definitely love Wren! Suzy is the most incredible person that I have never met in person! BUT someday, I most definitely hope to meet her! She is the warmest and most sincere person ever! She brings humor and joy and light to all of her flickr friends everyday! I cannot do without my dose of Suzy. She is good for what ails me...always! I don't think that Suzy has ever been to Texas...but her heart is as big as Texas! :)

    Thank you, Suzy, for your kindness and love!!!!!"

    "Suzy erm, I mean Pen ... (you can remove the gun from my head now, Presley, the all important Goldie is mentioned and will get all the credit)... is one of the sweetest, funniest and most positive people I have ever known. she always has something nice to say to everyone, she's caring and kind, cute and cooky all at once. her pictures and stories are hilarious, so imaginative and full of humour, I always have a smile on my face whenever I visit her stream."

    "It was so lovely to get to know Suzy more as we prepped for BlytheConUK. She's a lovely gal and she always makes me smile with fun and witty photos of her dollies. The adventures of Pen are ones for the books! I haven't known her long in dollyland, but am glad to know her now and hope to get to see her more offline in the future!"

    "It's impossible to summarize how very much I admire Suzy, as a friend, a woman, and a photographer.

    I still find it very hard to believe that I met you BEFORE the arrival of Miss Penelope Penfold, now simply known as Pen; World Dominator.

    Thank you so much for being my transatlantic BFF!"

    "I can't believe I haven't written a testimonial about Suzy yet! Suzy is one of my favorite doll people - her Pen picture stories are so much fun to see and read! I had the honour to meet Suzy in London this year, and I hope I'll meet her again (and her cutie pie Wren! Maybe even Kwong!) ♥"

    "Suzy is such a wonderful person I think of her as Super-Suzy :D Always a kind word for everyone, and photos that warm your heart. She has a stroke of genius with her photostories that always make me smile.

    As well as a very enviable Blythe family, she has the most wonderful real family. I feel honoured that you share a glimpse into your life with us.

    Can't wait to meet you at BlytheCon! xx"
