Meet Pavel my newest baby

Introducing Pavel (PAW-vel) my newest baby boy 3 lbs. 8 ozs. and 16 inches long! He was formerly the Ltd. Ed.  "Brandon kit by the talented Tamie Yarie. This tiny prince has gorgeous Caucasian skin tones that were achieved using the brand new Ultimate Fusion Air dry Paints. Yes, I like to try new things. These paints very durable (I mean durable) and after the proper curing time, they are extremely difficult to remove! I am in love (with him too! 💋)!!! This little preemie which is what his name means in Russian (small) has 3/4 limbs, doe suede body, micro-rooted and hand rooted eyelashes with black alpaca baby soft hair by J's Premium Mohair, hand painted eyebrows, milia, veining, tummy plate, magnetic binky and more! Just sooooo sweet and easy to pose!!!

From my heart to yours...

WOW!

I have made a big dent in getting the rest of my "stuff" put up, but I still have a few things that I am going to have to work out as far as it's new home. I don't have nearly as many hidey-holes as before! So it will take some ingenuity on my part. Mostly, I have a lot of kits that are begging for attention! LOL I think that I am OCD to a degree, I have to have everything where it belongs or I just can't paint! I AM plugging along so that there are no more excuses! Bear with me! As Arnold Schwarzenegger says...I'll be bock! Hahaha!

Ayashe (little one) in Native American Indian

To keep my mind busy I have worked on several projects at one time. Moving little rocks around in the yard then Saphira was the next one, Melanie aka Crystal by Denise Pratt and last but not least Ayashe aka Landon by Tamie Yarie. Well, no longer a good multitasker I finished the hardest first, that being Saphira, then moving rocks, planting another boxwood bush and laying mulch. I was happy about this, I beat the rain. I am now working on Ayashe's photo shoot because I think she held my interest more than poor little Melanie and I thought that I would never get that little head rooted! Also, she was the next hardest, you will see why soon! Even though little Melanie was first on the list she managed to take a back seat in all of this again. LOL Not to worry, she is in the oven and waiting to bake some more of her layers. She's not been forgotten.

So here's a sneak peek at Ayashe (Landon by Tamie Yarie) a sweet little preemie Indian baby girl.



She has beautiful cinnamon skin tones, Adorable features that were emphasized by giving her textured skin, 3D eyebrows and hand painted fine baby hair. She's micro-rooted with black/brown kid mohair from TNGUN that is super soft, eyelashes are hand rooted and no detail has been missed. We know that Tamie is wonderful for detailing her sculpts! I left her nose intact (rarely do I do this) and she has a sweet little tummy plate that fits perfectly with her little 17 inch body, full legs with 3/4 arms and magnetic binky. Mentioning body her body was customized just for this sculpt! She is a Ltd. Ed. 196/800.  I love how she turned out, but back to more shooting, as you can see, she is very photogenic!

Jazmyn on eBay and see my latest secret project

Well I have Jazzie on eBay and I hope that she finds her forever home! I really think that she has so much personality, but then I guess that's just my opinion. She just didn't seem to make the grade. LOL

I am now working on two sculpts one is Crystal / Melanie by Denise Pratt and the other which has me so excited is Landon by Tammie Yarie. I am doing something totally different with this one so I won't be posting updates until she is completed as "Ayashe" which is Native American Cheyenne or Chippewa for "little one". Hint, hint... LOL

Wish I could show you more! Just a tease

I have been so busy and I am so far behind! LOL I have been painting, repairing, redoing and every time I think I’m caught up I find something else I need to do. Let’s not leave out lawn service and wasp chasing (uhhh not so much chasing as devising tactical research to their elimination)! Anyhooo, I have finished the very beautiful twins and I want so bad to show them, but I can’t at the moment. WHY? I can’t say. I just wanted you to know that they are finished and they are adorable, but they must remain anonymous for a little while longer! I just love, love, love how life-like their skin tones turned out and I am bursting at the seams to find them a new mommy! But alas I must have patience and I hope that you will too!

WIP Nadia and Fraternal twins

It's been a heck of a month for April, as the Bible says we won't know one season from the next. Well it has been true. Hot one day frost the next, just pray that May is a little gentler, it would be my hubby's 68 birthday! We survived a tornado touch down that was barely over a mile away. I felt and still feel so blessed and sorry for those hit by it, it just seemed to choose a street and demolished it. The true blessing is no one was killed. Some injuries of course. The only casualty was a line repairman, he was electrocuted the next day trying to restore power to the community. We didn't lose power, but there was dimming. The thunderstorms that followed were powerful. Last year we were dealing with a drought and this year possible floods. LOL to keep from crying, but we're still here me and my babies. I think a lot about my husband especially at times like these. Just don't know what to say anymore, I just know that he's safe now. Just be very careful wherever you are. Anyway on to more positive things, what I have been working on!

Nadia (1st Peep) is coming along! I have been playing with her skin tones and I think that she's going to be beautiful if I may say so myself! I am using bi-racial skin tones and she's developing a beautiful light honey colored flavor! I will be showing pics of her soon! Promise!


Twins Tavis and Tavia are in progress and I would love to show their progress, but I don't  want to mess up because I am trying a new process, a very long process, but truly seems worth the effort.



LOL I will tell you this, that they are going to be Caucasian preemies. The kits are actually twins by Jackie Gwin (Angie and Cody), they are just adorable! I am dying to finish them!!! I put in his eyes so it won't look so weird and if you didn't know...I LOVE REBORNING PREEMIES and no I don't really know why. I think that I just love how tiny and delicate they look, but in reality they can be true little warriors.

Great news Paris and Raven did make it to France to their new mommy!!! I am slowly cleaning out the nursery so that I have some place for the new babies. Hopefully Jiselle and Jenelle are as lucky, I had them on eBay for five days! Poor little Jai-Lin, been on eBay twice now, just won't budge, many watchers though. I will just hold off on her for a little while longer, just wasn't her time.

Anyhoo, have a wonderful and blessed day! Pictures coming soon!

A CUTE new edition to the family

Believe it or not, I haven't been totally immobilized and staring into space and wasting time. Not necessarily in this order, but I have attended a funeral, did some kit painting, rebuilt a ramp, having a tree cut down and stump removed, cleaning up the stump area and planting mums where the stump used to be (decided against another tree, but it looked so naked), cleaning gutters, mowing and fertilizing the lawn and finding out why it was raining inside my kitchen bay window as much as outside, taking the pup to the vet again and this time for xrays because he's still limping when he gets up from a nap or in the morning! Everything but the tree, stump and funeral I did by myself, oh and the xrays (hehehe). Whew and I'm not getting younger day by day! LMAO Now I hope things will settle down at least for a little while. I treated myself to a new camera lens 300mm and loving it! Enough jabbering!

I want to introduce you to another new edition. Enjoy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HOPEFULLY you remember that Kiwi (my chimp) has felt pretty lonely for his own kind for a while. Oh he has many friends there are gorillas, koala bears, Teddy-bears and Snoopy too! But...still he felt so alone.



Feeling so bad for him missing his cousins and all (Nema and Deka) I felt that I must do something! After searching around the world, my eyes fell upon a tiny little orphan girl with no name. Merely a few weeks old she had lost all of her family due to heartless poachers. They left this baby clinging tightly to her dead mother. Luckily a well-meaning passerby saw what had happened and went about checking for other possible life...sadly there was none, only this poor hungry tiny baby with barely a flicker of life. They quickly rushed her to the nearest primate compound that takes care of these special orphaned babies.

She was a pitiful little sight when I saw her. Just skin and bones but this baby had the biggest beautiful hazel green eyes that sparkled like the sea on a moon lit night. When she looked back at me and gripped my finger like there was no tomorrow with those tiny hands, stick a fork in me I’m done, I knew that I had to have her. It took a while getting paper work and getting her to eat in order to gain her strength and weight back. Soon she reached 2 lbs, we packed all of her little things, a ton of special formula and enough diapers and blankets for the long trip. We wanted her to feel as secure as possible. While I was there waiting, I got as much input as I could for a name for her, Lucky, PeeWee, Tinkerbell but nothing seemed to fit. Finally my friend Cindy came up with a perfect name, we called her LuLu and she grinned like she knew it was her name.



Then we arrived back home!!! What a happy day for all of us! Kiwi started in with a high pitched scream so loud that I thought that he would wake the neighbors. Little LuLu (I call her LuLubug because she's still so tiny) squealed with joy and they have been inseparable every since.



Kiwi just adores her and she, him. Maybe it's because they are a kindred spirit?



she just loves to be tickled by her big brother



He grooms her, feeds her and if they are out of one another's sight, there is hell to pay!



He leaves the bathing and dirty diapers to me, hummm. Seems like I'm getting the dirty end of the deal?



LuLubug is so much happier, thriving wonderfully, she seems to know that she is safe now.



She's even learning to play with new friends



He picked out her favorite monkey toy all by himself and she just loves it! Of all things "Curious George".



Sometimes I think that he thinks he'll regret that choice



Ohhhh, I find that she is also a little camera hog...



like her brother. I shoulda named her Ms. Piggy!



Only 2 lbs 7 ozs. she thinks that she can eat whatever her brother eats.



Not on that delicate little tummy yet LuLubug!




So tiny, so sweet, so innocent.



No more nightmares or being afraid of being all alone when she sleeps in her brother's strong arms.

You are home now LuLubug and I'm going to watch over you.

Love,
Your brother Kiwi

I really and totally had fun reborning her! I think it helped that she was preemie sized and I love baby chimps (with their family). I hand painted her using Genesis paints and custom made her doe suede body based upon very young chimp babies like this one. I used multiple baby (chimp) photos to achieve her life-look. I was going to root her but while showing her off, everyone said not to. Of course that was after I had made her a fur body. So it was back to the sewing machine. That I might add was going crazy! LOL

I just thought that LuLubug was so cute (and if she wasn't I caught her kit on sale.) Hope that you enjoyed LuLubug's story as much as I did creating it!

Taraji is home with her new mommy & all settled in! Photo intense!

Sorry I'm late with her update! Well now that she's home with her mommy I can show you how she progressed her painted hair (my second attempt but first actual...ok if that makes sense LOL). She came out simply adorable and she was a big hit with my sister! She even took her to work to show her off when she felt better!!! She was being tortured because she had to wait several days even after she got this big box. It was so funny that she actually didn't open until the time I had down. Now get this Not to open until 5 pm on Valentine's Day! LOL I don't even know where I picked that time out of the air. Anyway enough chatter, I know that you have been wanting to see lil Raji!! Watch her transform!

After numerous layers of GHSP's

Welcome little Taraji Rucker

No she didn't go home this way, she just had to stay in the NICU for a few days! LOL

All ready to go home!

She wasn't happy with her photo shoots at all!

Hope you enjoyed lil Raji, her mommy sure does!

From my heart to yours... Hugs, Judie

My Review of Micro Preemie White Stretch Cap - fits up to 3 lbs

I just love this little cap, because it's UNISEX...boy or girl. I am working a special baby for one of my sisters that is dealing with a not so nice illness and want to surprise her. Haven't decided on boy or girl but just depends on what pops out at me when I finish. Hope to cheer her up and keep her attitude as positive as it has been!

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!

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!

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