abandoned dock
we went up to see mica dam (outside of revestoke bc). as it turned out we couldn’t actually get close to the dam and since i had the macro lens on my camera i couldn’t get any shots that really looked like much, but the road to it was lovely, and there were several neat places to explore where the old highway went in and out of the river(lake?) now that the water level is higher because of the dams. i’ll be posting pictures over the next week or so as i get them uploaded.
here is the first set: eilidh exploring an abandoned dock.
apparently several of the places the highway disappears into the lake make good boat launches, but this one isn’t being used for anything anymore. still i found it rather picturesque. eilidh just thought it was fun! 😉
taking a break
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.
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.
eilidh gets a new look
eilidh got a new faceup recently – actually the same time kiri did- and we have been trying to figure out what to do about her hair since it just wasn’t right somehow. we tried a lot of different red wigs, but just couldn’t find “the one”. then one day we were playing in the wig box looking for a wig for lucy and eilidh discovered an old wig of ellyce’s. it was exactly the right color and length, it just needed some restyling….
personally i think it still could use some restyling, but eilidh seems to really like the wild mop head look!
with her makeup and hair sorted out she happily chose a new top to model.
this cherry red sparkly twist collared top is the first one in my new line of tops for littlefees in my etsy store – and it fits the honey delfs and bids too!
i made two of them, so eilidh gets to keep this one.
but there is one more available for sale
everyone likes a parade
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
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.
to be continued
adoption meme
i finally managed to join in on an adoption meme going round on flickr. i got tagged just before we went on holidays but since there were people still doing it, i figured better late than never. basically it works like this. you take a group picture of your dolls or make a collage of them, whichever works better (due to the widely disparate size of mine i figured the collage was a better bet) then people look at the dolls and decide which of them they would like to adopt if they could pick one without changing anything, and vote for their choice in the comments section. each person that joins in is then “tagged” to do the same with their crew.
so this isn’t all my dolls, since several of them are undergoing revision right now and are in pieces but they are the ones available for photos
top row left to right: smidge, mr tumnus, beezie, amberglas
2nd row: noah, skylar, crystalorn, kiri,
3rd row:eilidh, tiera, cailyn, quinn
bottom row :becca, ananda, shaelyn, ember
who would you pick if you could take one just as they are?
30 day photo challenge day 3 part 1
3. reflections
today’s challenge was unexpectedly difficult. i started off to just do this one quickly as i didn’t have much time. we dragged some large books to the french doors and eilidh clambered up for our first attempt. in spite of all the smudges on the door we did get a reflection but it was disappointingly faint.
eilidh’s curls were glowing in the sunlight making for a surprisingly lovely picture, but not right for the challenge.
we moved over to the window and she obligingly jumped up. this time the only reflection was of the reflector i was using to enhance the back lighting. definitely not what i had in mind!
further attempts only yielded the same result, so it was time to move on.
which we did, to the other side of the house and a west facing window. since the reflection was so faint in the strong east light i thought moving to the shadowy side might help, and it did – to a degree
this time i could actually see her face in the reflection. it was still very washed out, but i decided that it would have to do, since i had run out of time.
30 day photo challenge day 2
2) a picture of your doll next to a stack of unusual objects that equal their approximate height.
at first i was tempted to measure them against chocolate chips, because everything goes well with chocolate. 😉 but then i figured, that in keeping with the one blue-stocking theme, it would be much better to measure the girls against a stack of yarn or books…. ever indecisive i used both! 🙂
so, one littlefee, eilidh, is equal to 7 partly used balls of yarn or 16 miniature books.
one pukifee, crystalorn, is equal to 4 partly used balls of yarn or 9-1/2 miniature books
one realpuki, smidge, (with wild hair) is equal to 2 partly used balls of yarn or 7 miniature books (or so she claims and who am i to argue?)
…….and beezie (up on top) claims she is the biggest of them all! 😆
