A new family member!

Long time no see, huh? And while I've been gone I've gotten a new addition to my doll family.

Remember that arctic fox face plate that Agnes were trying to buy for herself earlier this year? I guess I didn't know HOW much she wanted it because, much to my surprise, when I got the package with the hands I'd ordered for her (which I love BTW but don't have a photo of) it also included the fox face plate!!! Yay!!! I mean WHAT???!!!! I mean YAY!!! I mean how could she...??? She's a doll????!!!!

As it turned was a surprise gift from Agnes's "auntie" Dustbunnie that had fallen for Agnes's begging and pleading. I really DO have the sweetest friends, don't I?

So here he is, Mikkel, the Little Fee Arctic Fox face plate!!! Isn't he cute?



Mikkel


It will take forever to be able to afford a body for him though so so far he doesn't feel like a real character but I'm planning to turn him in to a little fox spirit, just an ordinary red fox though since he's normal skinned and since I have special place in my heart for red foxes. I just wish that Fairyland released Little Fee Pukisha parts since the arctic fox ears are to small and rounded to work for an ordinary fox.

The world's smallest snowman

Remember I promised you to show you how badly dressed poor Pytte was on HER winter photos? I fell like SUCH a bad dollie mama for this! *blushes* LOL This was the winter of 2008 and a lot warmer than this winter though and pukis seems to be a hardy breed because Pytte doesn't look to be nearly as frozen as poor Agnes. She even took the time to build the world smallest snowman. (He really WAS small, if you're not familiar with pukis they're about 10cm high)



Poor Pytte, look at her bare arms and legs! But she IS cute!



The world's tiiiiiniest snowman!



Afterwards Pytte curled up in Isa's lap to get warm


BTW, I've decided to join a really small grouporder (a group of two LOL) to get some new hands for Agnes (You didn't actually think I could post en entire entry without mentioning her , did you? LOL) I've never been too fond of her right hand, the pose is too unnatural and rigid and I find it hard to pose her right arms on photos because of this, so now when Fairyland decided to sell hand separately I just have to get her a better hand.

Cold winter snow!

The winter's been really cold in Sweden this year (and well, last year as well since it began around Christmas) Some places have had as cold as down below -40°C/-40°F *shiver, shiver, shiver* but we've only had around -15°C/5°F here. I've wanted to take snow photos of Agnes on the balcony but I've been a bit worried that it would be too cold for her resin but when the temperature rose to a balmy -9°C/15.8°F the other day we decided to take a chance.

Poor little Agnes doesn't have any winter clothes of her own so she borrowed Isa's cape and scarf. They were a little bit too big for her an restricted her movements so she wasn't able to play that much in the snow. Not that she looked like she WANTED to play. The poor little thing looked like she froze even more than me. LOL

















I should really make her some proper winter clothes, in fact all my girls need better clothes for this season. But I guess it comes down to the fact that I'm doing most of my sewing during the warmer half of the year since my health is much better then and I'm not that inspired to sew winter clothes in the summer. But at least Agnes had proper boots and she also wore her hot pink panty hose (the white you can see is NOT her skin but the fluffy part of her boots) You should see poor Pytte freezing on the balcony the last winter. (In fact that might me something to show for the next update)

A new year and a new computer!!!

Guess what???? I got a brand new computer from my family for Christmas!!!! I SO didn't expect this (we usually don't give this expensive gifts) but it was VERY much appreciated. So now I'm back again with a fully functioning computer (the old one suffered from both hardware and software problems and refused to work in the end) which means that I will hopefully be able to update the blog a bit more often again. And to celebrate the new year and the fact that I've now got a gigantonormous screen I've decided to mage the blog lay out a bit bigger.

Agnes has spent a lot of time helping me out with the new computer and just in general keeping me company. She suspect she's to be turning in to my favorite doll (which doesn't feel fair to the other two dolls that I also love a lot) She's just the perfect size, she poses REALLY well (I just love Fairyland bodies) and she's also really, really sweet.

But well, allowing your dolls to get too computer-savvy can have its downsides too. LOL


Agnes: Look what I have gotten for Christmas!!! It's really, really pretty!
Me: And here I thought all the time that it was my Christmas gift...
Agnes: Nope!!!



She's been quite helpful though

Agnes: You should install the things from the USB-drive now. I know you've got pattern for LittleFee clothes there
Me: When did you learn words like USB-drive???


Agnes: I want one of those! Can I have one of those? Please, please, pleeeeeeease?
Me: I'm sorry sweetie but that's a Fairyland event head and we're not going to buy anything from Fairyland at the moment.


Uh oh!!!!!!!! I knew I shouldn't have left her alone at the computer!!!

Me:Agnes!!!! You're not trying to log in to my Paypal account, are you?
Agnes: Nope!!! Nuh uh! Not me!


Agnes:I'm so, so innocent! I'm was only going to help! I promise! Can't you see how sweet and innocent I am?

Computer problems

Sorry everybody, computer problems so the updates might be a bit delayed, but I promise there will be both fabric photos and 3rd Advent photos. (Oh, how you miss them!!! LOL)

(BTW, in case you don't get it, self irony is one of my trademarks LOL)

Shoeses!!!

Yesterday I got the shoes I've ordered for Agnes (in a mini group order with Dustbunnie). Dustbunnie had also included two gift shoes for Agnes as well as a whole BUNCH of fabrics (that will work for all my girls, not just for "the Spoiled One" LOL) The fabric photos will come late but here are some photos of Agnes new "shoeses" (as she and Pytte use to call them).


The first three pairs are from Releaserain on Ebay


Nice, warm, fuzzy boots. Isa's got the same in pink and one day
I will try to get similar boots in pink or purple for Pytte.


Pink plaid sneakers. I will replace the ribbons because they look out of
scale and you can't tie them. Maybe thin silk ribbons in black or white?


Spotted sneakers. For these I might use pink
ribbons or black with matching white spots.


These pairs were gifts from Dustbunnie, I think they're from Dale Rae






It's hard to believe these two shoes fit the same doll. LOL The sneaker is
a bit big even with socks and the other one is a tight fit without socks.

Second Advent

I know, lots of Advent photos lately but that comes with the season.



My three girls celebrating 2nd Advent


I love the glow on their faces


An attempt to show the star shaped lantern. (flash=cheating LOL)


~¤*¤*¤~

And a bit off topic, but since I showed her last Sunday and since I cherish every day and every photo;



My little sick kitty (After dental surgery and biopsy, the
pink thing is just a collar) She's got blue eyes IRL. LOL


Unfortunately the vet called me this morning to tell me that the biopsy showed a tumor as well (on top of the dental abscess). :o( Her general condition is still vet good so far so it's not quite time to say goodbye yet. But all I can do now is to love her a lot, watch her health closely, and cherish ever day we'll get.


~¤*¤*¤~

I'm WAY behind with my secret projects at the moment. Both my own health problems and my kitty's have left no time or energy for secret projecting. The recipients of said projects have of course been warned about getting really late Christmas gifts but we've know each other for many years so they're well aware of my health problems and limitations. I still look forward to finish things though, it will turn out lovely in the end.
