Don't worry about not completely remaking Mini Katherine. It's exciting to see you work on her, period, since we didn't get to see her being made!

[@Dedicatedfollower467]

i'm kinda glad you didn't completely re-do mini-katherine's face: i really love her eyes and i'm glad you didn't wipe them off! the lip color touch-up was a great choice, too. love the new outfit. this channel will always have a special place in my heart, because it got me into doll customization and eventually brought me to ball-jointed dolls. i have now fully customized several dolls and sculpted two hand-made ball-jointed dolls entirely from scratch, with lots more plans for additional dolls in the works. if it hadn't been for you i never would have discovered this dollightful hobby and all the joy it brings me!

[@Aghul]

Thumbs up just for the updated pattern store and the fact that everyone who already bought a pattern can automatically access the updates! And I wish I could give an extra thumbs up for the updated doll itself too! The new wardrobe is amazing!

We can get it figured out when she comes back hah

[@achillesdykeza2063]

I was only 9-10 years old when I first started watching your videos, and I was so inspired and *obsessed* with your work. Now I’m 18, in college, and still watching every doll customizing video you post! You’ve made such an impact on my life and the lives of millions

Fun fact: I wrote an essay about the doll customizing community last semester! I've been watching you since middle school, so I made sure to mention you. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful creations with us for all these years! Best wishes to you and your family💜💜💜

omg! I remember watching your tokidoki blind box customs and falling in love immediately! You’ve inspired my art so very much in the time I’ve been watching your channel and I can’t thank you enough.

[@GippyHappy]

I gotta say, one of my favorite things about this channel is when you just have fun and so clearly enjoy what you do. When you gush about how cute the stuff you make is, I just love that you're so positive and cheerful and upbeat.

[@abigailmooney2134]

Back in 2016... I lost my brother to Cancer. I stumble on to your videos by accident, but it really helped me through the worst avant of my life. You're cheerful and colorful personally along with your custom dolls who are just as cheerful and colorful as you. If anything, I wanted to thank you for bringing me joy and its has been wonderful journey with you through all this years and many more to come. And to congratulate you on your second child, hope you have a safe delivery, and hope you take all the time you need to recover. ❤😊

[@Sk8M8]

Ahhhh I remember watching your videos all the time!! Watching this now!

[@nwcam]

Congrats on 2 million!!! I’ve been following you for a while now, a few years, and it’s so amazing to see your growth in each video. Thank you for all you do 💕

[@mustberyan]

I'll never forget the first and only time I heard your channel mentioned in person. Poor dad was trying very hard to figure out where to find a cut needle and doll hair for his daughter and he was trying so hard to remember what she was watching and mimicking. I hope she's doing well, even if her dad was beyond confused about what she was doing. Made me feel great because I was the only person working at that store who knew anything about customizing fashion dolls and I could actually help by pointing him (and hopefully her) to even more channels to learn about customization.

[@HimeTakamura]

I'm so glad you didn't change her eyes. they looks so cute and I love the soft brows and slightly smoky eyeshadow

[@casuallyceltic]

I haven't been here since the beginning, beginning... but I have been here since 2017! It's really crazy how much life can change in six years even though it feels so slow and long. Congrats on 2 million!!!

[@CactusKitty42]

I’m amazed by all the things you’ve been doing lately! Refreshing your doll, making videos, AND basically remaking all your patterns for multiple sizes WHILE pregnant with a toddler at home. You’re amazing

[@dorothygale9648]

I'm glad Mini Katherine got some well-deserved TLC. Hope Babylightful 2 is as healthy and cute as their big brother!

[@vividdem]

I think you should make a wig that matches your real hair now that the doll version can wear just when you feel like it. The pink curls are iconic, but some long brown hair would be cute too. Of course only if you have time and energy for it ❤

[@dieorkin]

I wouldn't mind getting more of these fashion shows for other old dolls as well. There is always so much detail just in the clothes of your dolls!

[@mckennariggins]

This is amazing! Love the detail on the jacket. It’s funny that South Korea has a lot of english text there as a popular thing, in the US its kind of a meme that people have misspelled or mistranslated asian clothing/tattoos so it tends to be less popular. Super interesting! By the way, which doll are you repainting at 0:19?

[@spencerp6243]

I believe it's Ayako, her Harajuku inspired doll from about 6 years ago?

I first stumbled upon your videos when I didn't know English all that well but I fell in love with your style and energy I didn't really understand what you were saying but the characters you created and you yourself had such beautiful energy and uniqueness I was drawn in now I understand English and I still absolutely love watching your videos even more! To me no other doll customizer can draw me in like you. I hope you and your family will be happy and healthy and that you will continue to make videos. You are one of my favorite KZbinrs. You are in the top 3. I hope that your Chanel continues to grow and that many young people will be able to see and watch your videos just like I did when I was younger! You are amazing!

Everytime a new dollightful notification shows up on my phone I always watch the new video as soon as I can, your videos have always been so inspiring and entertaining to watch. I'm sure I'm not the only one who was introduced to decora fashion from your channel as well, many types of my style influence has come from watching what you put your dolls into! While I'm not much of an artist like you, I love to watch the whole process of doll making as if I'm following a tutorial to make it myself, the best part is watching the ideas and concept art come alive. Thank you for creating these videos for so long, and I look forward to seeing what the future holds for the channel!

I've been watching this channel for around 5 years! And the impact it's had on my creative journey is honestly insanely huge. Every major art project I did for school involved doll making - because of you! I've made 3 dolls so far - from scratch! A big part of my portfolio I submitted for my art college applications involved one of the bjds I made (and Im now going into my second year of animation college!). You made sewing, sculpture, miniature painting and much more seem so fun and accessible, and I carry your attitude of having fun and pushing your skills into every new project I start. From the bottom of my heart Katherine, thank you :]
