taking a break

  • Posted on March 26, 2013 at 11:34 pm

we had a pretty crazy month here, with a serious illness of one of my kids, so it’s been a while since i’ve had a chance to update, but today we decided it was time for a break and took 4 of the girls on a walk round the lake. eilidh discovered a tree that was filled with holes made (we think) by a woodpecker and just had to explore. she had a great time climbing in and out of the holes. i loved the color of her hair against the bark and snapped a few pictures.

here’s my favorite shot
eilidh checking out giant woodpeckers holes

lucy hiked through the snow and climbed a tree for her shot, all while managing to stay looking as chic as always, though she has informed me that next on her wish list is a black jean skirt!

i never said my girls were practical. aerin also wore dress shoes for hiking and climbing trees!

kiri was camera shy today, but we’re out again tomorrow if the weather holds, so i’ll have to try catch her then.

wovenflame and the realpukis started a parade on doa which has grown and looks to keep growing (or so we hope)
it has spread to a flikr group called dolls on parade and will be a gallery thread on doa as well, with all sizes a types of bjds joining in.

heres what happened today when the mid sized kids got involved….

tiera took it upon herself to announce to the world that there was going to be a parade

becca decided to be a tightrope walker and insisted that digory pull her in the wagon

ellyce is just back from the spa and fancies herself a trick rider. her steed being a typical donkey, was not terribly cooperative.

tiera and eilidh had a bit of a squabble when eilidh decided that she was a lion tamer and was going to tame tiera
im not going to be your lion
tiera – no i won’t be your lion, and you CERTAINLY are not going hit me with a whip!

eilidh – FINE! i’ll pull this “lion” instead.

failure

If at first you don’t succeed, you are running about average.

that seemed an apt quote for what i’ve been doing lately. i want to get an etsy store up and running but i seem to be running in circles instead. i’ve been making up a bunch of crocheted hats for pukifee and littlefee sizes (sneak peak under crochet) so i decided i should get faces on some of my other kids to give me a wider range of models.

i finally got my littlefee pipi and bid elin done after three days and 3-4 wipes each. i kept getting fuzz in the msc no matter how carefully i cleaned (i want a hermetically sealed room for faceups! :lol:) i’m very pleased with the results but if these had been my first face-ups. i’m not sure i’d have ever tried again.

anyhoo, here is becca (iplehouse bid elin)

and eilidh???

my red-haired freckly girl seemed to cry out for a celtic name so i have tentatively called her eilidh (eh-lee) but i’m not completely sold on it. she still may end up as polly which was her planned name, i just don’t know. any thoughts?

to be continued….
