Baby Daisies by Jenalyne; work in progress

My 13 year old granddaughter is working on her 4th reborn doll.
She calls her nursery Baby Daisies by Jenalyne  :)

Today she will matte/seal the doll and will be rooting hair on her.

The 15 inch sweetie is Marita Winters new Leighton Rose kit.
Jenalyne has named this version, "Paris".
We have been online shopping for clothes for her and I can't wait to show you what she picked out!

Meet Paris as a work in progress:





Here is the young artist herself hard at work on her doll:


Indeed she is my Mini-Me!



Jenalyne will be offering her sweet reborn at the August 20


Stop by and see us!

Utah ROSE show class pictures :)

Sweet, sweet Sumertime, sumertime...

Since July 17th I have been home a total of 5 whole nonconsecutive days.  
Those days home were filled with unpacking, packing and taking care of business for the next trip.
I am home now for 12 days before I leave again for the Portland, Oregon Crossroads Doll and Teddy Bear show  :)  My granddaughter is here with us now and she is making her fourth reborn doll with the intention of selling it at this show.  She is trying very hard not to fall in love with it!  

Wish her luck!

With a few days available to catch up, here are the class picture from my 
Creating Ethnic Skin Tones using Baby FX air dry paints.  
The students loved the paints and each made a beautiful baby out of Marita Winters new 
Leighton Rose kit.
The Davis Convention Center was BEAUTIFUL and the staff were accommodating, helpful and very kind.
Here we are hard at work

 My lovely ladies and their baby heads at the end of day 1.
This class had women of all ages including a 12 yr old and a 15 yr old.  
I loved every moment of it!

Here we are with our "completed" babies, with 2 exceptions.
I am holding my Prototype of Leighton Rose as my class Leighton Rose was prepped to teach a weighting workshop on the showroom floor and I didn't have time to assemble him then disassemble him for this photo shoot, and Danielle's (Far right, front row) baby was in the Dolly Hospital getting her eyes glued in.

She borrowed my prototype and said, "My baby!"  LOL


Such a sweet lady!  
I did get a picture of her and her darling baby before she sent her to the "hospital".
 Danielle:

In fact, I got a picture of all of the ladies with their babies!

Miranda, age 12:

 Meagan age 15:

Oh I had SO much fun!

Utah bound!

And I'm off!

Today my dear friend and I will head out in the car towards Layton, Utah where the ROSE show will be held.  

We are going to take our time getting there and will check into the hotel at the convention center on Tuesday  :)

Ahhh....a little rest and sightseeing will do this lady some good!

I am excited to meet with each of the ladies who have signed up for my class...and even more excited to see their special little baby kits come to life.  

I will see many of you in Utah!

Ye-haw!

5 days....

Wow were my brains ever fried after yesterday!

I was able to get the auction set to go starting at 8am MST on July 20th, the beginning of my class.

I then proceeded to write the new Ethnic Color Guide using Baby FX paints.
This guide will be available for purchase to the public after my class, as soon as I can get it posted on my Artfire selling site.   That said, I will be home from the ROSE show for just two day before I head out to a 4 day "Cowgirl Camp" with my buckskin horse.  And my husband has a birthday on one of those days so there won't be much time for "work" when I am home.

Everything that I need for the class is printed and ready to assemble into booklets for each student and myself.  I will do that first thing this morning and then I can pack!

Whoop!  

Tomorrow will find me in the city all day for follow-up blood work and shopping.

Thursday, Friday and Saturday will find me preparing food for my husband (some for me) and tending to all of the many things that I take care of around the house.  Oh and packing my own clothes.  I might need those although it is going to be in the high 90's in Utah.  Haha  Even so, they probably won't appreciate me going naked!

My personal doll is all packed and ready for the trip.  She may be bringing more clothes than me...

And Friday night....a little fun-time watching 40+ cowboys take on the challenge of the best bronc horses in the Northwest.   My favorite event of the year!

Sunday my friend Sally and I will hit the road enroute to Utah and the ROSE show.  
I am getting very excited!

Updates

It is exactly 7 days before I leave for the ROSE show to teach a 2 day Ethnic Painting class.

Bobbi is SOLD and will arrive at her new home tomorrow.  
I am so excited about that and can't wait to hear from her new Mommy.

The special class prototype is finished except for assembly!
I'll be assembling her this morning and getting her photo shoot done today.  

Whew...I am getting there!

Remember how I spent several hours just 2 Sunday's ago cleaning up the studio?  
Haha...it is a disaster today!

All of the supplies for the class have arrived and are waiting to be sorted.

Time to sort and pack...as soon as the auction for the prototype is listed to start on the morning of the 20th.  

Everyone have a wonderful day.  It is raining here today and I am thankful!
We NEEDED the rain and rainy days are great photo days!

For direct adoption

Bobbi did not find her home on eBay.

That's okay...selling outside of eBay saves money!
Bobbi's direct adoption price is reduced $1100 from her eBay price!

I have her and the little Kellie Beckett full body mini silicone "Sweetie" available for direct adoption on my website:


Contact me directly to adopt Bobbi.  Update 7/6/2016 Bobbi is pending  :)

Little Sweetie has a PayPal button on her page for adoption.

Thanks for taking a look!
