Seth on his way to the Ukraine!!!!

YEAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! I am just as excited as I am nervous! I got him on his way today with a small glitch, my own fault. Lesson learned NEVER EVER do anything that requires clear thought when you know that you are extremely tired / sleepy. LOL funny but not funny. No matter, off to the UKRAINE all bundled up nice and warm!

Almost finished Abra's head!!! I lovin it!!!  Got her eyebrows done and starting on Chane'l's head. I think that she's just going to be toooo pretty with this hair shade.

Happy New Year!!!

First I want to you to know that I wish you a very happy and blessed New Year! I didn't make any resolutions, don't want to have to worry about breaking them so I set goals. That is to take my time working on my babies and not pressure myself into worrying about how many I should have done or could have done, just focus on the ones I am doing.

We went to see Django yesterday and it was the bomb! Also I was given a beautiful classical guitar to add to my collection of acustics. Re-strung it, not an easy task, but I dude it! Definitely won't be doing tie-in strings! WHEW!! LOL

I am so happy to announce that Seth has a new Mommy and he's going to the Ukraine!!!!! He's been paid for and I am getting him ready and warmly wrapped for travel! I think it might be really cold there...never been there. I know that she will love him, he's just adorable and I am going to miss him, but I know that he's going to a beautiful place!! Now to find the rest of the gang homes!!!

I have just about completed Abra's rooting (have to update her pictures) and Chane'l is next in line! I just love how her skin tones turned out! A gorgeous honey brown. Funny, I can't seem to upload photos from my puter for some strange reason now. So I will have to upload I guess to picasa. UGH!!! Finally figured out how to get them into my picasa picture book! LMAO Here's little Chane'l  making progress!

Ain't she purtee, she's only going to get better! Well got to do some photo updating, eyebrows and get busy rooting on these heads! I can't wait to use this Brown / Black on Chane'l!!!

Seth

Well isn't he the sweetest little dumpling! Told you that he was photogenic! Now gotta get back for some more sweet pictures!

From my heart to yours... Hugs, Judie www.loveisforevernursery.com

Hope you had a nice Easter

and say hi to Jai-Lin (yep added an N just looked better and sounded easier to say!

and here's little Seth!

isn't he the cutest!

Still have lots of pictures to take of these two. I really, really love how they turned out. Both are very photogenic and cute as little buttons.

Delylah got her stitches out yesterday and was a little trooper! Yeahhh, still can't do much til August...here I thought July was long...LOL 

Well, back to coming up with ideas for their next session after I pick out some more cute outfits for them!

Lil Seth's progress and my new mattress

He is just going to be adorable! I micro-rooted him with dark brown hair from slumberland and he has dark brown glass eyes. I just love his little spit bubbles! LOL He is coming along very nicely!

I can't wait to start picking out his layette and shooting his portfolio. He is just tooooo cute, he'll be a hard one to let go of, that's no doubt.

Lil D update: She started weight bearing on leg yesterday and getting more and more back to her old self and finished the last of her antibiotics. Yeaaahhh! Now it's going to be really hard to keep her settled down. The good thing is I got a ramp for her through a friend. Going to take a little for her to get used to it when she can start to use it, but she's going to need it. Got a new mattress, because I haven't slept good for quite a while, I almost need a step ladder but we love it! LOLROTF

Lil D's progress...

Working off and on on Seth's head (that name may change). Kinda helps me get my mind off of my baby. Lil D's progress...or lack of. Well it's been a week. She's gotten a little of her sweet personality back but she's not showing any improvement as far as her knee is concerned. Seems like she's a candidate for a very expensive knee surgery. They don't want to wait more than a month and I don't see what good waiting will do. I can't stand watching her hopping around, although she's handling it better than I am. Just means a much longer convalescence for her to still end up needing the surgery. I'm just not feeling that. So I stay still so that she stays still, her appetite is all that great, but has a positive note. She's a little overweight so short of not making herself sick, would take some of the pressure off of her other knee, by the way can be affected due to her over compensating. So, back to relieving my stress and watching Seth's hair really starting to take shape beautifully.

From my heart to yours... Hugs, Judie

Seth (aka Lex)

Well little Seth is getting cuter by the day taking my dear sweet time on rooting his head. He is just adorable...oh sorry I've said that before.  Jai Li still needs her nails and touch up done. Basically been lap sitting Little D! Just a mama's baby!! :o) She is still limping, no better but no worse. I started her on Omega3 to help heal her joint injury, also helps with her coat / shedding. Still don't know if it will heal on it's own but it's worth a try. I will be calling her vet tomorrow.

From my heart to yours... Hugs, Judie

W.I.P.

 Catching up once again ! LOL

I am working on Lex by Natali Blick and Jiao by Andrie Stoete now known as Seth and Jai Li (Jah-Lee) which means good and beautiful in Chinese. Yes, I am actually working on 2 babies at one time! Both will have brown eyes of course and dark brown hair. One's a boy and the other a girl! That helped immensely! Jai Li's hair looks almost black it's so pretty and a rich soft dark brown. Seth will be micro-rooted with Slumberland hair in deep dark brown. Jai Li's hair will be dark, dark brown from TNGUN and she is looking awesome. I am using a #46 and you better go slow, even though they say that they are extra strength, I have broken quite a few needles, but I love the results so far! It will be worth it, they are coming along beautiful!

Preview:

Seth:

Isn't that the cutest little raspberry!!!

I love how his skin tones are coming out!

Jai Li

Although to me on here the look pretty much the same color in these photos I assure you that they are not. Both have very, very thin layers and layers of GHSPs. With her, I didn't want a lot of yellow undertones. Asians have a wide range of coloring. I do love how her coloring is coming out as well. I am debating on if she will have eyelashe are not. She has those tight little hooded eyes that may be over-whelmed if I don't do it right. Seth with very natural looking darker Caucasion undertones is really a cutie too! I can't wait to see him with his eyelashes. I am hoping for dreamy eyes! I think that you will really enjoy their photo shoots when they are ready! I have got some ideas for Jai Li that I am biting at the bit to do!

My Review of Gerber Small Newborn Primary Dot Onesie - fits about 4-8 lbs

Hope that everyone had a wonderful New Year and that it will be a blessed and prosperous one for each and everyone! I decided to do something different to bring the New Year in, work on babies! They say how you end the year is how the year will be. Kinda believe that, been feeling a little like Hughe Hefner. Spent a lotta time in my PJ's last year...so I wanted to do it different this time.

Formally introducing little Jameelah! She made her debute at midnight January 1, 2011 weighing in at 3 lbs. 2 ozs. and 17 inches long. Her name means beautiful and that she is!

Yes, ALL done, VERY photogenic I am so pleased with her! She already has an interested mommy!!!! Yeahhhh! She is just adorable and has had numerous comments as to how life-like she looks in person. I like her scuplt so much...hummm, might have to order another kit! LOL

I have to thank my niece and nephew for being so sweet to let me use their hands for modeling!! LOL I forgot, the gloved one is my hand!

I just love ordering tiny things for my tiny babies from The Preemie Store!

Gerber Small Newborn Primary Dot Onesie - fits about 4-8 lbs

Very well constructed!

By Love to make reborns from Missouri on 1/4/2012

5out of 5

Fit: Feels true to size
Pros: Cute, Lightweight, Colorful, Soft, Durable
Best Uses: Preemies
Was this a gift?: No

I periodically order preemie clothing from here because I do some 24 week "reborn" preemies. The Preemie Store offers a very nice supply of those very little things (like hats, booties, hand mitts and onsies) that you just can't run out to the store and buy. They are just too tediously tiny to make and your prices are right on time!

(legalese)

Little Lex is coming along and I will be posting pics of him soon!

Update on "Anna" by Pat Moulton sculpt

With the holidays coming so soon again, I had to do something to keep my mind from running. So I have kept busy. "Anna" is coming along beautifully. I love her coloring and just adore her tinyness! Did I say I love doing preemies? She has had so many ultra thin layers (I actually lost count) of GHSP to achieve her very life-like coloring it's like she really is coming alive. Her little tummy plate is da bomb! I am so looking forward to getting her hair from TNGUN and getting her rooted! That is once I finish her beautiful baby skin tones. I don't think she'll have a Christmas birthday that's for sure.
I am leaning towards Leila  for her name, but I just want to let it simmer before I really decide. She has such delicate features like a little rose petal. She's still up for a few more layers and a very special name search! I almost want to keep her for myself! LOL So here's anothet peak.

Ohhhh and my "Lex" baby by Natali Blick (Doll Dreams) is coming along well too.

Here's what his sculpt looks like, of course, mine doesn't have eyes yet. LOL

His caucasian skin tones are finally evolving so I'll have pictures of him soon! He's just the cutest sculpt. Don't want him feeling slighted, because he really is! I love how you see just a little bit of his tongue, it gives him such personality. Since I finished my guitar lessons until February, I have no excuse! Look for more updates on Lex soon too!

From my heart to yours... Hugs, Judie
