Summer meet-up at the lakeside 13.-14.8.2016 Day two!

Luckily the second day of meet-up was better! Morning started with so beautiful weather we couldn´t have wished for more. Misha went for a morning swim in the lake. Jude rather enjoyed the water without dipping in - but he wet his feet, after all. Couldn´t resist trying that lovely little boat!

 

                                                 Menni, my first doll is now almost seven years old and still such a cutie. <3 

Daryl was exploring suspicious looking places and met some zombie figures, though they weren´t pictured together after all.

                                                        There were so many wonderful places to take photos! 

Jude is my own custom boy, I bought a MIO Isul set, but didn´t like the shape of nose that much after all. So I practised carving on him. Also made him a bit more smiley than regular Isuls are. I like him now, even still he is far from perfect. He got a wig from the meet-up (good place to sell, buy and trade!) and it makes him look cute!

It was hard to find him a name, and for long time he was just Isul (even still I tried many names) but when I was listening Beatles when packing for meet-up, I thought, why not Jude. And I kind of like it for him now.

 

In Sunday I didn´t take many pics of others than my own dolls. But wasn´t this little acrobat a cutie!

                                     All the crew of mine in group pic. I took along five very different dolls! :)

Thank you for everyone attending and for giving us the cabin for a meet-up place! It was once again so lovely to spend time together, talk, eat and play with dolls. :)

Summer meet-up at the lakeside 13.-14.8.2016 Day one!

I had chance to take part in adult hobbyists overnight meet-up of the PullipSuomi -forum! Enjoyed a lot for nice company and seeing so many different dolls! 12 lovely ladies of us had great time in the cabin at lakeside near Pieksämäki and Varkaus. Unfortunately first day was really bad weather, but luckily it got better by the morning, and we got also outside photos, after all! Tons of photos following! :)

Here are all the dolls attending the meet-up! Such a huge amount of all kinds of wonderful dolls. I really enjoy that people nowadays seem to enjoy the different things instead of liking just one type of doll. Such a richness it gives to the hobby, as we saw this time, too. And how the dolls had fun interaction between all the lines!

A character of his own was Fabio, less than 10€ finding from the gas station one of us had taken along. That lame but self-confident ladies´ man had such a "charm" and so impressively moving hips that he outdoes easily any Ken doll! And he made us laugh a lot during the rainy night in cabin! :D

                         It was a shame, that in such day there were heavy rain and wind! No chance for outdoor photos. 

                                                     But everyone were having fun anyways!

                   

                                     All the Azones, Mama-Chapps and my Ruruko in group pic!

                                                 Perfection comes in small package! <3 <3 <3 Tan little Latis are precious.

                                                                            Menni with a group of friends!

 Amazingly, there really is the right person to use any odd piece of clothing. This hat has never looked as good on any doll, even on the Blythe it used to belong! And so cute on her!

                                                 Ruruko found a cute friend! I really liked the expression of this Azone girl.

                                               Jude is happy next to such a pretty girl! (Who seems not to notice him at all, poor boy!)

More photos of the next day in another posting, as it was impossible to cope with all the photos in the same post. I don´t know if I´m just so badly unskilled using this blog, but everything looks different published than when I´m getting it ready - change places and rows and blah... So I always need to edit it so many times.

Strawberry field

I´ve been making a lot of cute wigs for custom orders and also to Etsy - and strawberry hats! First one went for my friends´ baby girl, but then I continued in doll sizes! :) It is a common thing to make these hats, with quite simple style, but I´ve used my own pattern for these. I think they are so cute and together they make such a field of strawberries! Little Ruruko is my personal favourite. <3

Above are Menni (Littlefee Ante), Rilla (Kaye Wiggs Raillie) and Martta (MeadowDolls Tella).

And just look at this cutie below! Rurukos are getting more and more space in my heart. <3 Also there are Kerttu (custom Blythe by Buganville) and Vuokko (MeadowDolls Elleki). My poor Pullips still haven´t names, but Dal´s name is Milma.

I have no idea how to manage to get the photos well. I always settle them nicely, and when I look the ready page, they have jumped all over... But well. Maybe it works just fine with today´s playful feeling. :D

Apple Flower meet-up in Jyväskylä - many photos!

I had lovely time in last weekend, attending in doll meet-up held in apple tree park, such a lovely place for picnic and open for public to refresh - not just to admire the flowers, but later in autumn people of the town of Jyväskylä can just go and pick the apples to eat! :)

I had four dolls with me; Livia (Noble Dolls Raspberry), Neppi (Dust of Dolls Appi Meel), Misha (Blythe Misha Tebya Lyublyu) and still nameless cutie (Tutu Ruruko). There were lots of gorgeous dolls of others to admire, and most of them Dollfie Dreams and Azones.



First time I realized the difference between Ruruko and Azones, when I get to see them all along. I felt they´re quite alike with same body, similar hair and painted face. But it´s the anime face with hardly much else than those big pretty eyes that doesn´t work with me. Ruruko has actual human face with detailed nose, mouth and chin.

First I took pics of the bright fuchsia flowered tree, but while being pretty, it was a bit too deep colour for Neppi.

As there were swing props available, of course all the girls must try for it! :) It was funny how worried Livia looked like, and Neppi was self-conscious like falling was out of question with her. And well, she indeed sat there balanced like a rock.

Sweet little Azone girls. The smiling Himeno on left was my favourite.

Neppi was so cute with pink apple flowers. This tree was my favourite!

Ruruko in pink dreamland.

Livia with white apple flowers. I just made her new face-up recently, and am happy with the result.

MDD sized Dollfie Dreams were really cute. I´m starting to feel worriyngly tempted to buy one... ;)

 All the dolls together in group picture.

She looked like a kind big sister taking care of the little ones. These dolls have nice proportions for taking pics together.

 Cute tiny little ones!

And equally cute were the big girls, too. :)

 Thanks everyone, I had great time! :)
