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!

[@lehuaParker0102]

I agree! She has been inspiring me too to make my own mini me haha ❤❤❤

[@Rosi-ni9pc]

she is very cute, but I think a cute brown hairstyle would balance out all the pinks in her outfit and look beautiful

[@felinemoonchild]

@@Rosi-ni9pc This is why I'd always like to make wigs for dolls instead of rerooting. You can change it so easily and with whatever hairstyle you have!

[@HeXtian]

OMMMGGGG sooooo cute! I love the new fit! it's definitely such a cool refresh and those pants are to die for!!

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

It feels so weird to say I’ve been watching you since middle school. The fact that you’ve heavily inspired my personal style too, introducing me to decora (and getting me hooked on pink!) I know you won’t see this probably, but Kathrine you’ve changed my life. Thank you so much for creating content. 🩷🧡💛💚🩵💜

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.

[@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!

[@voidspooks6372]

It's insane that i have been watching this channel since high school, over who knows how many youtube accounts. Always such comforting, entertaining, and inspiring content.

[@redpearlprincess4259]

Seeing Blonde Mini-Dollightful and the original pink bob were so nostalgic! I can't believe it's been 8 years! Congrats on all the big milestones!

[@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

[@charitychapman3181]

[@nymthetyrant]

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.

[@arielbujnowski3340]

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!

[@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.

[@blue_lynch]

2:46 it's totally not disappointing, I also love the original faceup 😭 she's so cute

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?

I have been watching you for years. 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!

[@eri.x.a]

as someone who struggles and has struggled with depression/anxiety for the majority of my life, your videos have always been a warm welcome escape into a world where i dont have to worry about my personal issues. aside from that, ur art and creativity give me endless inspiration, especially as a young artist who grew up watching ur videos. thank u for existing, u deserve every token of gratitude i have to offer :3 💗

[@Kimber88LP]

I don't know if you'll ever see this, but wanted to say Thank you. My daughter introduced me to your channel about 3 years ago. We used to pull up KZbin on the TV and watch your videos together. She died last year, the day before her 24th birthday. I haven't been to your channel since then, but the last couple days I have been thinking about your videos a lot. Thank you for bringing her joy in some bad times (We lost my Mom in 2021, my brother 11 months later, and six months after that, my dad), and we spent some quality time making good memories together watching your videos while learning to live our new normal without our family. She was also an artist, and drawing was her passion. She would draw anime, dragons, and dinosaurs, and her own characters she created. I know you inspired her in her creation of her original characters. They were to be the 'stars' in a comic book she and her best friend were creating. Anyway, thanks again for some wonderful times that are now good memories I have of her. Best wishes for your new addition to your family.

[@TheGirllnTheMirror]

It's seriously so weird to think about the fact that its been 8 years since I started watching you when I was 7 and on my Wii U.. im now 15 but still remember being absolutely fascinated by your makeovers back then--still am lol,, certainly doesn't feel like 8 years have passed haha
