Meet my new girl!

Hi peeps.
I'm guessing the news that I got a new doll has leaked out by now, but thats okay. Because……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………...








SHE IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't have time to edit the photos, because I wanted to get them posted asap, but I'll try and adjust them at some stage and re-load them on to here.

 Yes, I got Ruthie. She was second-hand off eBay, for $130 dollars including postage. She came with her original dress, but it needs ironing, so I put her in a dress I made her for the photos.

Ruthie is so pretty, and I'm so happy with her! You'll definitely be seeing more of her soon.

She borrowed Melody's shoes and socks for the photo. As you can see, the shoes are a little big, but they still fit well enough.

Hope you enjoyed seeing her!

Yeah, I know, I haven't posted in a while. That's because I've been busy.

With what?

With a surprise for you girls!

What is the surprise?

Can't tell, it's a secret.

Come on, please?

Nope, sorry. You'll have to wait until I post about it in a couple of weeks.

But if you really have to know, it's hidden in here somewhere (well, part of it. I can't spoil all the surprise, so you'll have to keep looking until you find it!) Clue: read between the lines.
It's a new doll! But I can't tell you what doll I got or where I got her until I post about her, K? So now 
What if we can't stand the suspense?
that just makes the surprise of the doll I actually got! So, now you know. But please don't go telling 
Then you'll die waiting *evil laugh*
everyone, okay? I'd prefer if they would find it out for themselves :) There is one more note hidden for 
Yeah, I'm sorry, but I can't tell you what the surprise is until I post about it. You want to know why it's
going to take so long? Because the surprise takes a bit of preparing, so it isn't ready yet.
you in here to read. Go and find it!
But it will be ready soon.

You may guess if you like, but be assured I will not tell you if you are right or wrong.

You'll have to wait.

Until it's time for the un-veiling.

Oh, Gosh I just love being mysterious!

Have fun waiting!

Just so you know, I'm only not posting about her yet because she hasn't arrived! I have to wait until she arrives, which hopefully will be quite soon.

A couple of old photos of Melody

Hi there!

From the title, I'm guessing you already know what this one is about, but in case you don't, I thought I'd just post a couple of cute pics I took of Melody ages ago, but forgot to post. 

They were actually both taken on my bed when I was just experimenting with different angles, so they were really only practice photos. But considering they turned out quite well, I thought they were worth editing and posting for you. Enjoy!

Hi there!
Just letting you know in case you were wondering why I added word verification before your comment will be taken into moderation.
I got a spam comment today (my first), so I deleted it, but if I got one, than that could mean I'll get more.
The first action I have taken obviously, is to add word verification. I'm sorry, I know how annoying it gets, because it irritates me as well when I have to type it in.
If the spam comments continue, I will have to only allow comments from registered users to come through. Again, I'm really sorry about this.

P.S. I hope you all had a great Easter!

I Never Did Post This, Did I?

Hi there!
Long time, no blog. Yes, I know, and I'm trying to improve that.
Here's a photo shoot that I did with Melody back in summer. It was up on the oval behind our house, and she's sitting in an oak tree. I'm going to make videos of all of her photo-shoots sometime, but I'll need to figure out how to make the video uploader work properly before I do that. Enjoy!
Love,

Just a quick note...

Hi there, everyone!
I'm just writing a quick note to let you know that I'll be taking a week off from blogging.
I will still try and check my emails everyday, but other than that, you probably won't really hear from me.
I really just need a week's break from this, so I can get some inspiration for new posts, and plan out requested ones etc. Melody will be absent from her blog as well for a week.

See you later!
Love,

A Photo-Shoot with Cara

Hi everyone!
Quite a while ago, I did a photo-shoot with Liesl's doll, Cara. Here are the pictures:

This one's probably my favourite. I love her sweet round face :)

I hope you enjoyed this post!

Love,

Note: In case you're wondering, I will now be water-marking the photos that I took myself, on mine and Melody's blogs. If you would like to use them, please feel free, but I'd really appreciate if you'd ask first. Thank you!

Naturally, pinning them on Pinterest and the like doesn't count, because there will be a link to the source on the pin anyway.

Happy April Fool's day!

Hi everyone!
Just a quick post to say, I hope you have a great April Fool's day!
I've prepared a few cunning pranks for my siblings, and can't wait to see their reactions!

Love,

Cara's Birthday!

Hi everyone!

On the 14th of March, Cara celebrated her 10th birthday! Here's a photo-story. Enjoy!

Key:

Melody

Cara

Happy Birthday, Cara!

Yay!

I wonder what it is?

Thanks Melly!

You're welcome, Cara! Come on, open it up!

Yay! New clothes! I'll go and try them on…

A few minutes later...

They fit perfectly! Thanks a heap, Melsy!

You're welcome Cara, I'm glad you liked them.

Doesn't Cara just look so much like Josefina in this one?

Mum and I made the outfit with the pattern for Josefina's camisa and skirt from AG playthings.

I didn't have the right materials, so did a variation instead.

The camisa is made from pale blue batiste trimmed with rainbow lace and bound with bright orange lawn bias binding.

The skirt is made of blue printed wintella. The design has white birds on branches with leaves etc. on a blue background. The skirt is gathered on to a waistband/sash, which ties at the back, then hemmed.

If you want a more detailed post on this outfit, please let me know.

Love,

Melody's Autumn photo shoot/story

Hi there!
A while ago now, I did an Autumn photo shoot with Melody, which kind of turned in to a bit of a story. Anyway, here are the pictures. Enjoy!

Of course I had to have at least one of her like this :)

Post about her new outfit coming soon!

Love,
