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.

Busy summertime

Haven´t have much time to spend with dolls in this summer, but haven´t forget them either. :) Here a little pic hopefully brightening the day when summer holiday is over.

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.

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

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!

                                                                  

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! :)
