The tiny triplet babies yes, I forgot to show the rest of them reborn! LOL

They are known as "Dichorionic diamniotic triplets"

made them their own modified ultrasound too

The girls have anatomically correct tummy plates and Jon has half tummy plate and an anatomically custom soft body. Custom made "dried" umbilical cords.

now meet Jada, Jasmine and Jon!

They all have chocolate caramel skin tones, mottling, veining and dry skin effect achieved with Miracle Blend Air Dry Paints. They are micro rooted with "beautiful baby soft kid black mohair" from (TNGUN Debbie Henshaw) with hand applied Lanugo facial hair and birthmarks on their tummies!

The girls have pierced ears Jada (pearl) Jasmine (silver) and all have magnetic pacifiers

Their skin is sealed with Final step Reborn FX matte sealer.

I am so happy excited with them, that I built them a "prop triple stroller" that now really works for them, it folds down for easy transportation! I ended up doing a little modifying on the base and switched to much lighter wheels (not pictured) of which I am much happier with! So, here they are!

From my heart to yours...
Hugs, Judie

First off, I want to wish you a very happy New Year! 2018 wasn't a truly wonderful year, but I feel blessed that I am in my right mind,a roof over my head. I know it's been a while. Thanking God that the GSD has finally ended! I had to check in and say that I'm still here.
I've been working on and learning "Square"and setting up my new website store and it was a headache for sure! Also started on new babies for the year and the next show and hoping to find homes for the older ones soon. My older sister started out her new year badly, feel down a basement step and busted up her femur bone, luckily not her driving leg. All is well, and she is slowly on the mend and making progress.
I've also been trying out new air dry paints by Ultimate Fusion. I like trying new air dry paints designed for the reborn artist and these paints are pretty good. I really loved BabyFX and these paints remind me of them. I still love the Miracle Blend and it seems the same problem has shown its ugly face. 😟Seems every time I fall in love with a particular paint that they stop making it. LOL
l will be back with pictures and setting up to have a "Sweetheart of a Deal" sale on my website shortly, so stay tuned and check out my store!

Wichita Kansas Doll Show

Well for a first show, Jennifer, Scott and their lovely family, I am very happy to say it was a wonderful success and fun! I got to see old friends and met new ones. The 2018 show participation started out a little shaky but in the end vendors joined in. They were helpful and wonderful hosts. In the previous shows that I have done that kind of special touch was never offered and everyone we encountered were friendly and fun. It was very well organized and coordinated, you wouldn't have known it was a first for them. I might add that they sold out for the 2019 doll show within 24 hours! It was a mad rush after all of the lovely reviews and had I not happened to go on FB that particular evening, I would have completely missed out! Whewwww, in less than 24 hours! Now they have a waiting list just in case some vendors may not be able to attend next year! I knew that they would grow fast, but....wow! Now, I just pray that they keep that reference of personalization, because in 2020 they will definitely need a larger venue and more help. LOLROTF

Marita (Monty) Winters hosted the Wizard of Oz Doll contest using her specified kits and I must say there were some imaginative and beautifully done depictions of the Oz characters! We weren't allowed to show any pictures or naming the entry catagory until after the contest was over. It was all secret and I liked that even though it was hard not to share. That being said, yes I did enter "Zane" as Glinda the Good Baby Witch. I had a ball doing this and I am going to say that it was a shock and honor. She placed 1st as "Glinda" and Best In Show! Never in a million years would I have thought that!

Now for the recap. It was fun and inspiring! I met old and new friends and I loved the special touch!  It was hard to see how they could top this year's venue of "Follow the Yellowbrick Road", but I think that they might have! Stay tuned. Now for pictures!

Nighty, night! Hope that you enjoyed her and she comes with these outfits and more!

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

Hope that you like the new LOOK!

Hi! I so hope that you had a marvelous and blessed weekend.
I also hope that you like the new look? Just seemed time for a change, so I decided to take the plunge and just DOIT!

I have been rooting that melon head of Camelah Elaine (just keep breaking needles on it, not cool). I do believe that she's going to be simply adorable if I might say so myself. OK, I will. She's going to be simply a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e! LOL Then, I want to get started on the "tiny ones". I just can't wait! I have always said that I am a slow painting artist. I just like to complete the baby / babies that I am working on, giving them my total focus before going to the next unless they are special orders. I always have and I am thinkin...I always will.

I even attended my 45th class reunion, kinda under protest, but glad that I did go to the banquet. It was kinda fun, good seeing some people that I hadn't seen since high school! Why did we have a "roaring twenties" theme? I don't know...I still tried to participate in spite of it and those that didn't. (snickering) I will have to get pictures on here soon!

Got to see "Sister Trip" and I haven't laughed that much in years! It was just good and the cast was ALL STAR in my book any day! Needed a break from all of the mess that's going on. Had to take my little Diva to the vet 2 weeks ago, doing something that she really rarely does...excuse me, but puking. Then she has been literally gnawing on her paws at certain times (one in particular) and that I figured was allergy related especially after it rains and she walks in the grass. She chews her own nails, turns those little suckers into cat claws and I do find that amazing, painful, but amazing. Then I had noticed that she had started losing weight but, in her case it was good because she is my little pudjums! I even asked her if she was putting herself on a diet...did I get an answer, no not really. However, if looks could kill. All joking aside, she was scaring me. I mean I understand that she'll be 10 next April but I am looking to spend with her another 10, God willing. She has been my rock and my little furry guardian angel through it ALL. So off to the vet and 4 meds (all total later poor thing had a yeast infection in her ears and on her paws which included a bacterial infection. She's doing much, much better no more puking, still does some itching after walking in wet grass, but less intense. My GURL is in love with her bland diet of boiled "chic/rice pattays" that I have been feeding her.You would think that she was getting prime rib. Will be transitioning her back to her regular diet and I am seriously thinking of changing that . Her little bro-bro has been giving her moral support, except when he pooped on the floor of the vet hospital (another not cool moment in time).

Well, been up all night guess I do need to go to bed! Have a wonderful day and yak back at ya soon! Next time pictures too!

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

Didnt't like the new site so I'm crawling back & bringing this one back up to date

Just so it didn't look like I was totally absent from the world I am putting the posts that I did get in back on this Blog. I just couldn't get the feel for the other site and just to darned hard to remember where it was! LOL And in truth, I truly fell off of the wagon. Everytime I thought that I could get back on, it just didn't work for me. So, I stopped fighting it and just let it go. Needless to say I have a long way to go to catch up, but I am working on it! Starting with the last two years!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND HOPING FOR A BRIGHTER NEW YEAR.

DECEMBER 30, 2015

This year has gone by so fast for me, I honestly don’t know what happened. I just figured that I needed to take a sabbatical or something to refocus my energies! I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas and got lots of pressies! The holidays and especially Christmas / New Years is not a good time for me. However, I must admit, this Christmas is the first time since my husband’s passing that I actually enjoyed cooking. Family came, we ate very well as I cooked too much, but we did have a great time playing games and doing a coloring contest (some doth protest, but ended up enjoying it)! So did the furry nephews and niece (with my two) 5 dogs and a puppy LOL Anyway, not making any more pledges, I will just try to keep updating my blog and hope that people still read it. 2016 has got to be better so I hope that you and your family have a very blessed and prosperous New Year! See You Next Year and much LOVE!

"SORRY, JUST SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED!

SEPTEMBER 8, 2015

First I will bring you up-to-date.

Why I am so far behind blogging? After updating my work area, photography studio…I worked very hard on getting babies ready for a show in Denver this past July. Not an easy task, wanting to show them was just so hard not to do. It was my first real road trip in a long time! I was stressed, but excited at the same time. Then, we (my family) started losing cousins. Since January we have averaged a cousin lost every two months. Let’s just say that it didn’t help my stress level, not one bit. The last one was in August. They were all close cousins, all of them. Ranging in age 22 to 70 years of age. So my heart was heavy, especially with the 22 year old. She was going to graduate from nursing school this past May, dying suddenly and leaving behind her young son. I still don’t do well with losing family, it just reminds me of what I am trying so hard to move along from, it’s so very hard.

Denver was interesting, my sister, Lil D (my baby) and I drove straight through from Missouri and back. We were already warned that there wasn’t much to see…they were right, we got excited about seeing the windmill farms! LOL Lots of rolling grassy hills a few horses and cattle, even saw a tiny herd of buffalo. So, there you have it, grass, grass and more grass! The show setup was beautiful and huge, but being in it’s infancy stage there were a few hiccups that made it a little difficult to be at your best! I have to admit, I actually did get to shop this time and didn’t get everything that I wanted because I didn’t get to see every supplier(a good thing, because there was only so much room in my little SUV), but I did get a nice little haul besides my supplies! I purchased 7 kits (Bonnie Brown’s “twin A & B”, Marita Winters “Denver Rose”, Laura Tozio-Ross’s “Vincent”, Bountiful Baby’s fairy twins “Clover & Jasper” and an older kit Dimples by Melissa Palesse! They are all just ADORABLE!!

I have started on the little fairy baby twins, I just couldn’t resist. Jasper is wide eyed and curious and Clover is just snoozing as twins do! I have their little wings, outfits and everything ready. I will be painting them with a permanent air-dry paints that I am totally in love with…Miracle Blends. They are just awesome!! I will have babies on my “Available Babies” page that have been done with these wonderful paints.

There were tons and tons of beautiful babies and awesome talent! I just hope that one day I will be able to afford one of Laura Tozio’s silicone babies. The word gorgeous just doesn’t come close to her babies!!! I now have faces with names, I got to meet the lovely Debbie Henshaw (TNGUN) I use a lot of her beautiful mohair for my babies, pretty Julie Beck and her lovely babies and a lot more new faces and friends. I have lots of pictures! As well, all of the sculptors that I met were so gracious! Claire Taylor, Bonnie Brown, Donna RuBert (so funny!!!) and she personally autographed Taleya’s body after making a very lovely compliment, Marita Winters, and of course Laura Tozio-Ross and her very beautiful family!

Marita Winters:

Sorry this is so long and I know too well that it’s been a while and September is not a great month for me. No matter, I have made up my mind to get back in the saddle “and get out of my own way”. I will keep you more up-to-date with my babies."

"NEW HOME AND NEW BABY!

NOVEMBER 20, 2014

I am so excited that I finally got my blog moved closer to my website (so to speak). I just wanted you to know that it’s a new location and I am working on getting the available babies on site! I have finally got shelves up, supplies have a home now, getting rid of my home gym that I know that I will never use again, for my photo studio, that will be independent of the nursery!! YEAHHHH!!

I also have a new one, a tiny one, a micro-preemie! I just love doing micro-preemies! Her name is Philana (“Zane” sculpt by Marita Winters), she’s just adorable! She has beautiful skin tones by using Jo Sonja’s permanent air dry paints. Just a teaser. She is 10.5″ long, weighs 14 ozs.,  has “milk mouth”, sporting a cutely styled clear cap strawberry blonde mohair wig (just for change), custom sewn outfits and more!

I have most of the available babies photos done, now I have to figure out the photo gallery! Never a dull moment…"

The really wonderful part about the doll show in Denver is that I got to take my baby "fur" with me. She was a hit in her own little stroller. I do have some babies to put on here and they are on my website which I was also sadly neglecting. I am getting excited because, I am trying out new air dry paints "Baby FX and Miracle Blend Paints" and the powders. I have so much more, but for today...

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

I have finally, finally got organized...I hope! Meet Taleya

This is the "Annie" kit from BB by Donna RuBert. She's a chubby baby weighing a whopping 8 lbs. even. She's 24"  (26" knees bent), Soft glass MP eyes in "smokey topaz", she's a breather, no magnet, tear ducts and I did some texturing on her elbows and knees (I still think it's a tad rough for my liking), neck and back armature. She has appropriate veining and a real cutie with her caramel color skin tones! I have to admit that she was a job, rooting all of that hair, but I had a certain look that I wanted for her and yes...I thought that I would never root again. LOL I think that I will stick to wispy micro-rooting and newborns...much easier...but I have to do one more toddler sized kit...Fei Yen's coming up soon but I will do my favs (preemies and micro-preemies). Need to get busy for the Rose International Doll show next year in Denver! I still have a few things that I think that I am going to adjust on her, but other than that I really love how she turned out!

  Taleya is the equilent of a 9 month old. Wears a size 2 shoe and in clothing, comfortably wears 6 - 9 months.

I hope that you enjoy her and I will be updating...hugs!
