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. :)

Enjoying summer day!

Not holiday yet, but luckily summer nights are long and sunny in Finland!

After workday I took some dolls along and headed to lakeside. These girls have got way too little camera time so that needed to be fixed.

First Cosette, my sweet little deer-eyed mori girl who loves wandering in nature and carrying flowers with her. Such an innocent soul she is. (Minifee Chloe eye-mod)

Also I took along Sinead, fairy nymph girl with beautiful shimmer. She is not shy at all, and feeling comfortable with touch of summer wind on her skin. (Magic Mirror Studio Sinead in tropical tan colour)

And last but not least, some pics of Elea, my melancholy beauty who seems always be a bit upset. (Custom Blythe by Xanamaneca / Sandra Efigenio)

Lovely, relaxing night with my sister and sweet dolls! I enjoyed swimming too. First time this summer I actually stayed in water and not just dipping in and out. :) Both air and water temperature was 19*c - not warm or cold. Looking forward the lake getting warmer, though. I love to swim.

Adventures of mini Daryl Dixon

I had to buy this mini figure as I like this character so much. (Even still The Walking Dead is a bit too scary series for me to watch, I watch it after all. ;) ) I took my mini Daryl along exploring the lakeside and even still his crossbow was left home with his chopper motorcycle, he had the knife ready if needed. No walkers noticed but some giant ants though! ;)

 

Relaxing day in national landscape

I live quite near one of the most beautiful national parks of Finland, and this weekend I spent a day outdoors with my friend, taking photos and walking in the legendary view that is well known even around the world. This landscape inspired artists and composers in the time, and it still does.

End of the day we spent in the Koli relax spa, and it was such a lovely, relaxing and refreshing experience. I haven´t been too often in spa, and can happily recommend this place for anyone getting around there!

 

 

 

 

 

Summer night feelings

Some photos showing the Finnish summer night... Autumn is getting closer slowly, but the nights are still quite long and light. My lovely Elea (Xanamaneca custom by Sandra Efigenio) looks a bit sad, too.
