First peek at Jazz with hair

A little bit of hair that is!

But, I made some progress after I took these pictures yesterday morning.  

I rarely do dark hair babies and I had an entirely different color planned for Jazz but he made it clear that this is the color for him.

I am in love with this little man!














Just love him!

A Christmas Dolly House picture story!


Well now.  Mmy story ended up much bigger than I thought it would and as much as I dislike posting links for you to follow, I think it will be easier to enjoy on the Doll Fan forum as the pictures are already full size and easy to read...well, that is if you can read baby talk  :)

For your enlightenment though, here are a few pictures from the story with the link below.



(Anyone can read, only members can respond)

I also built a snowman over the weekend (MY weekends are Friday and Saturday) and took pictures of our horses eating the treats I put on the snowman for buttons, mouth and nose.  
That was a blast!


It was a wonderful weekend full of play and relaxation!

Now...back to work on Jazz!

Little peeks coming tomorrow  :)  

Hugs!

Progress on the Dolly House....DONE!!!!

I have not done a good job keeping the blog updated with the Dolly House progress but I am more than thrilled to announce that it is FINISHED!

Let me give you a little before and after tour...

I began researching the purchase of the Dolly House in November of 2014.  
On December 8, 2014, I ordered the house from the builders.

They nearly had it done by Christmas but with illnesses of their roofer and unstable weather/ground thaw, the delivery could not take place until January 15, 2015.

Here it is the day they brought the building:



They came back later to level the house up on blocks and tie it down all to the inspectors specifications.  Here is is the day it passed inspection:


It took me months to get the skirting  and brick work up and all of the gravel moved back around the building and the ditches for the underground electrical wiring finished.  
I could not be happier with how it turned out though  :)  


The inside of the building on January 15, 2015:

The bay then.....


The bay as of December 7, 2015:


The back then....


The back now....



The long wall then....

The entry area then....

It has been a journey!  

Now for window treatments and moving in.  
I think I need a rest first  :)

Jazz head matted!


 I am so pleased with how it turned out! 




I am still working on his body but I've selected hair color and his hair should start "growing" today :)

I also got little Sage's head matted!

She is a 10 inch full body silicone by Sherri Williams.

Have a wonderful Monday!

Heading towards matting with Jazz prototype!

Working with a full body silicone is a LONG process but I'm finally ready to matte!

I was having a very difficult time with his nails so I decided to bathe him as I was finding a lot of long white, fuzzy hairs on his fingers.  I don't know where they came from, probably some fabric in the studio.  Silicone is so static that the hairs just fly from anywhere!

So...since I needed to bathe him anyway, I thought I should take some pictures of him dressed and taking a bath!

(His nails are not done in these pictures but they are done now and I'll start sealing then matting today!  I probably won't be able to quite finish matting his body but I'll get close.)

Such a precious baby!
