Dear Mothers~

Happy Mother's Day!
I have picked you a flower :)

Love and best wishes for a lovely day!

Friday Funnies/Cuties~Mindy's new walker!

Is that just not the cutest thing you ever saw??? Hmmm~am I talking about the little dolly or the walker? BOTH! LOL

Mindy is one of my pride and joy. She is a One-of-a-kind created by Sharon Robinson, my very dear sculpting friend.

The walker is a One-of-a-kind custom creation by Shannon's Creations.

And the binky is a One-of-a-kind clay binky but I don't remember who I got it from. I bought three of them on eBay a while back. They are darling!

I do know that Mindy is very, VERY spoiled!

Prototype Jayden painting is done~I think!

Well these pictures are really, really terrible as I was in such a hurry (I was late for a dinner date!) but I'm going to humble myself and share anyway.

The pictures don't show the intensity of his coloring and, he really is not on his body.

I will be rooting hair over the next several days :)

See you tomorrow when I share Mindy's new treasure with you :)

Prototype Jayden progress pictures!

I am so in love with this sculpt! He/she is truly amazing!!
Click on the pictures to see them full size :)

He gives me goosebumps (and I don't GET goosebumps!) and so does Kristaletta by Laura Tuzio Ross who arrived yesterday! Life is so good and so much fun!

Happy Wednesday!!

What colors of paint did I use on these ones??

THESE colors! LOL

I am constantly being asked what colors I use for particular babies and unless I write each thing down that I used and did~I have NO clue! I thought the picture of the paper towel that covered my painting table while I worked on the two 10" Pratt babies was a fun picture.
What colors did I mix to create those colors? I have no idea! LOL

Let me tell you more about these two adorable babies and their DARLING outfits.

She is a custom order for a very sweet customer/friend of mine. This little baby will be joining 19 other siblings! I don't think she will get lonely! She is not fully done~her hair needs finished and she needs lashes and gloss.

And he is the first baby created for EXPO 2010 :) He needs hair, lashes and gloss too. Since I had Capri painted last week and was still waiting for another prototype to come in, I spent my days painting these two sweeties plus a set of replacement limbs for a little Berenguer I did way back in 2006. (Her mommy wanted to switch out her 1/4 limbs for full limbs~there was nothing wrong with the painted limbs, they were just too short!)

The theme for EXPO 2010 is "Just Play" so all of my babies will be dressed in outfits that reflect playtime~such fun!

Now who made these outfits? Laurie of Fancy Pants and Flounces! Laurie has been doing work for me for the last~oh wow....5 years I think???? She is very creative and adds the most amazing details! Click on the pics and bring them full size to see some of the tiny details. You can't see on him, but under his kerchief if a little train button and on the back of his shortalls is a wee pocket with a kerchief sticking out! And those red socks~I LOVE them!

I've had some wonderful outfits from her and have many that I had made for my little ones in my own collection. I have been blessed to have Laurie in my life!

Here is the link to Laurie's selling site. She has a variety of things for sale right now and I hear she will be putting up some 10" outfits sometime soon.

Alright now...on with the day!

Been hiding this one under my hat for a while~

Isn't she pretty? Announcing Miaka Tam~a reborn created from an older Special Edition Berenguer from 2006.

She's been "born" for some time now but I had to keep her under my hat until she arrived to my dear friend~who knew what the sculpt was (as she sent it to me) but did not want to know anything about what I was doing with her.

My friend loves Asian babies so I thought the sculpt was fitting match.

And my friend tells me that she never thought she would say this or have any desire to do this...but she can't wait to take her "baby" out shopping and to the beach! LOL Yep~she's joined the ranks of me and my friends!

Mohair madness is continuing and I said I would do a post with mohair processing~and I will. There is just too much other fun stuff happening right now :)

I expect great progress today on Jayden. I am eager to get painting on him, he is such a gorgeous sculpt!

Have a fabulous Monday!

Sweet Capri is finally done!

It is always amazing to me whenever I finish a baby doll~I just can't believe I actually got it done! But...I did! Introducing Capri Prototype #2 by Jorja Pigott. She goes on ebay tonight, Sunday May 2, 2010 at 8 pm PST.
