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.

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.

Blythe a Day and Nukkekesähaaste!

                                                                                   I´ve attended in two photo challenges this summer!

* Nukkekesä 2016 (summer of dolls) - a picture for each summer day! Last years when I´ve taken part, I didn´t manage to get all 92 pics done, but maybe this summer is success. :) It´s held in PullipSuomi forum.

The June 2016 is themed with hit songs of 1980´s. I´m more a 70´s girl but liked the idea. The plan is to post a pic every day but it´s also ok to attend with a pic or few, so if someone gets interested, just jump in even middle of the month!

First day started with Cyndi Lauper´s "Girls just wanna have fun". I was inspirated by the music video and tried my best to capture the jumpy feeling as well as chose line from lyrics as a title.

                                                                                   "I want to be the one to walk in the sun"

                                                                             And here is a live action capture what happened next! xD Whoopsie!

                                                                       
                                                                                   Enjoy the starting summer, everyone!
