Hugs...

I'm sorry I haven't posted lately, life has been manic and like many people I know, I've been having a little bit of a hard time. I did manage to do a big shoot (when I should have been doing other more useful things...) the other day, which felt great. I have hardly had a chance to even look at the girls lately so it felt like a really good catch up!

I want to dedicate this post to my Ma and Pa, Brother, Caralyn and last but by no means least Mr T... and actually, anyone who just needs a hug! Mainly because I know how up and down life can be... and how it can often be a struggle, but... there is usually someone there to give you a hug to tell you its going to be ok (even if its just a virtual one like I'm doing now).

So... to anyone out there who is having a hard time, I'm going to tell you something my Brother always told me...

everythings gonna be ok

Thanks for looking!

Goodbye Maple Close...

I went to stay at my folks place about a week ago. They're moving so it was the last time I could stay with them for a while as they're going to be new old age travellers again, cruising about in their motorhome trying to find somewhere new and exciting to live!!!

I managed to get some pics of the girls in their garden before visiting my Bro, it's such a sweet garden which has always reminded me of a tropical beach with the palm trees. 

It was an awesome house which I lived in with them during the renovation. My family and I have been through alot in that house and it seems weird to be leaving it for good, but it deserves a little goodbye.

Goodbye Maple Close

& 

Ma and Pa

Safe travels and good wishes
for your new adventure!!!

Experimental Tops

Its been a while since my last post, I'm working on a secret Pullip related project at the moment, it will all be revealed in time!!

So, I made these tops a while ago as an experiment and I've been meaning to photograph them for ages. Finally, this afternoon, I found I had a little time on my hands!

I was thinking about selling these tops on my shop, what do you think?

Thanks for looking!!

Pink, Green & Purple

As usual, when I take pictures for the shop, I take a few for myself and this week, to my surprise, the most popular was Piper!

I've been thinking I needed to get some plain backgrounds to show the clothes off properly and it really did the trick...

I just adore pink and green together, although Piper doesn't seem to be a big fan...

The green sofa and purple background also worked so well together!

All dresses shown available on my Etsy shop:

Nose notch...

The other day, I was dressing my girls up and was horrified to find that Avelyn has a massive notch in her nose...

I'm still unsure of what to do about it. Having done her blush already I'm not sure entirely of how to fix it. I was thinking about getting her a complete custom face-up by Poison Girl on Flickr. I've been following her on Flickr since I started collecting Pullips over a year ago. I would love a custom face-up by her and I think her costs are reasonable for how beautiful her customs are... I have never been a fan of Mir's eyebrows but... I did a shoot for the shop today and the notch is barely visible in the photos and she is sooooo beautiful...

What do you think I should do?

Oooh, also, dress shown is available here on my Etsy shop!

Thanks for looking!!
