Catch up time!

I'll just say hello, it's been a while! I just don't know where the time goes! So, I'll just have to catch you up again. I just don't know where to begin. Well, I have been working on babies, some fantasy and others regular reborn.

This kit is "Empram" by Melody Hess. This little  girl stole my ❤️! She is truly gorgeous and accepts a real pacifier! I love her detail and those lips are just so kissable...mentioning kiss...

Don't ask why, but I had an epiphany as to "what would Gene Simmons look like as a baby"? Here's my vision! I really had to work with this one. I hand sculpted his tongue and took forever to get his face done not to mention his tongue in. Gene S was a retired and the long ago  "Lillian kit" by Antonio Juan.

He was rockin and definitely a hit at the show...I even bought him a mini bass guitar for the show!

So why did he have to come home with me? LOL

Now this little beauty is my albino werepup "Babita"- she's the Lucian Hybrid by Simon Laurens and she has her own little snuggle bed and friend.

She was another time consuming little hit! She even has a wolf pup howl (it's a small 10 sec recording that's removable). I feel in love with her, almost bought another kit at the show then came to my senses! 😵😲😉 I got the "Tinky" Manor Elf kit instead...I'll try just about anything in a kit at least once.

You can meet and adopt from my online web store:

Be on the lookout for "Tinky" and maybe one of her baby sisters in the near future!

We've got Pictures!

 

 I promised pictures of Melanie! Just to refresh your memory this was the "Crystal" (sculpt) by Denise Pratt now Melanie by Judie (Reborn)!

 

She's still a diamond in the rough, I have to do her eyelashes still! The little red velvet dress with matching bloomers and headband, as much as I liked it (when my sister brought it to me as very gently used, I didn't see) it has a small milk stain on the collar and I don't know if it will come out. Bummer! It was just sooo her and right for the holidays and in excellent shape (definitely a one time occasion)! Well, this being only test shots, she might have to go to a new party dress that I'm thinking about when it's all said and done.

 

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

Pictures of Melanie soon!

I am so happy to say that Melanie is finally rooted! I think she really came out too cute! I will be posting pictures of her real soon!!


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

Bridgette gets her new outfit!

As promised Bridgette got her new "Bonny" sailor outfit by "Mykidstudio" that was selected just for her and it looks like it was made just for her! It is even cuter in real life and they shipped fast!

 

she is such a little show-off!

The outfit looks like cotton in the photos but it's more like a sateen polyester

The six gold double breasted buttons just set it off! I love that big front bow, puff sleeves and back ties with navy blue strip accents. It is just simply ADORABLE! The tam has little white ribbon tails on the back, but I will have to show you those details at a later date! I couldn't resist adding the little patent leather shoes with bow ties and her little lace trimmed socks with bow accents. She is on her way to be a part of the photographer Jamie Diamond's "Amy Reborn Project in New York" for two weeks! I am so excited about being able to be included! Can't wait to see what Jamie does with her photos and I can't wait for Bridgette to return!

 

Well still have a bit to go on Melanie's head. It's going to be interesting because I am experimenting, I decided to mix hair fibers. That's all I am going to say about that. Ha-ha and hope the joke's not on me!

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

Felicia is going home for Christmas!

I just had to come back and share the good news! Felicia Renae' (Nicky sculpt by Jackie Gwin) my little two toothed toddler has been officially adopted and is all ready to be shipped out Monday to Virginia!


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

Is it Possible?

AA toddler Felecia Renae' may very well be getting a mommy for Christmas!!!! YEAHHHHH! She just adopted little 6" Hailee and decided that Hailee needed a sister. I am waiting with baited breath! LOL Nuri reached his destination and is now known as Nicci! Still need mommies for Abra, Chane'l, Ayashe (Landon) and Pressli Dawn. I have faith!

We had some nice weather so I put up a few lights, just seemed like I couldn't break the neighborhood tradition, especially since my neighbor across the street started putting up lights too! Their children are grown now...they didn't put up outdoor lights before...hummm. Oh well better late than never. We were supposed to be in for some bad weather...yep, barely got a 1/2 inch of snow, but it made the lights look pretty. Weathermen...KWIM

Then I had to remove my newly installed floor under the sink, I was so despondent. I just re-did it about a month or two ago from the garbage disposal leaking. However, this time it's on me. I think water seeped under the sink when I was giving the pups a bath. They have their own bath tub but if it moves wrong it tips. Nothing more to say on that. Just had to take it all back up, it was getting that mildewed odor again and I can't stand to smell it. This time...contact paper! Jeeze Louweez!!

I have to do some update pics of Melanie / Crystal and Bridgette / Amy. I am rooting Bridgette's big head LOL almost finished so that I can start on Melanie's. I love how both of their skin tones turned out. I got a new Nikon 35mm lenses for extreme close up so I am biting at the bit to take some shots! Well, hair first, pictures next. :o) Back to work~

micro-preemie Daris Alan

I promised pictures and I think that I have some good ones of little Darius Alan!

I was aiming for the skin tone of this little cutie ~ still haven't perfected it yet, but one DAY!

 well this is as far as I could get. What do I mean by that...the paint kept slipping even after heating, just about drove me nuts, because he's so cute I kept going! It's not perfect but, meet Darius Alan anyway~

Now you can see him with RoPan hair! LOL

 

 I made his little "bunny" onesie, his little take me home outfit matching

 

diaper pants, tee-shirt, cover shirt and "no scratch" mitts and crib hat. That's his puppy "Woofy" beside him!

 Here he is with his matching crib cap and tiny little bowtie bib....just about make you go blind working on these teenie tiny little outfits, but I LOVE making them! I even made him some teenie tiny leg warmers! LOL I wish I could knit or crochet but I can't, so I found a little knit outfit that I had and it was perfect for him.

 

Ohh and he's a thumb sucker too!

 

 

Hope that you enjoy him!

You'll never guess...

This isn't a good month for me, so I throw myself into multiple projects because I can't multitask (thinking and working) at the same time. To make matters worse, they say it comes in 3's and I have had that in the last 2 days! One was a very wonderful cousin by marriage that passed and another was just a little baby, then my niece lost her half sister. I've had enough of bad news. Our 27th anniversary would have been tomorrow and the love of my life will be gone for 3 years the 25th. Time just seems to stand still for me, sometimes it seems like 3 months and then again 3 days then it seems like forever. I am improving, but my heart is still broken, I think that it will always be that way. You have your good moments, your up moments and even a few great moments, but that one memory pops in your head for some reason and you go rolling back down the hill. Thank God, it gets a little easier each time to pick yourself back up, it's slow but I can stand. With that being said.
You'll never guess what I've been up to! However, I'm just going to tease you with it! Yes, she's watching you...

Jai Lin has been Adopted!

I was so excited to see Jai Lin get adopted! I have babies everywhere! They definitely need to find new homes, so I can do more! LOL I will be happily shipping her off on Friday!

I have been so busy working on my 3 projects however I am happy to say that I am starting to see the light! My mystery baby is really turning out well. It has been an arduous task because I was developing her as I went along, if that makes sense. She shocked me, if I may say so. A lot of work, so she will definitely be OOAK babies, that's for sure! The other baby is being rooted and the third which was actually supposed to be first needs a few more layers and she will be having the same treatment finally~.

Well back to work, just had to pop in and give updates!

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

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

 

http://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/e12000.m43.l1123/7?euid=80e358c8cdd34e7ba255c74506435041&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D161097318067%26ssPageName%3DADME%3AL%3ALCA%3AUS%3A1123

 

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

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

Felicia FINALLY! LOL

It took a WHILE, but I finally got her parts to match! It took so many layers, washes and time that I didn't even try to write it down, thank God that I didn't have to re-root her too!

I have redone this little girl several times and was never happy since I first did her skin tones with the air dry paints only because she wouldn't fit in my little convection oven. Yes, I have a bigger one now and I haven't used air dry paints since. LOL! Now mind you she came out perfect (as far as I was concerned) with a beautiful coffee and cream skin color (even with the stress that I was very much under, that being, the loss of my husband). However, after months of curing, I found that the paint DID NOT adhere like it should all quite by accident and to my dismay. At that point you were told not to apply any Genesis sealers over your "air drys", because they didn't think it would work well with their paints. So I stripped her for the first time. It seemed logical that they should know their product. But, Genesis is not a true oil based paint and she was ruined! Grrrrr I wanted to cry and rip my hair out, but I didn't. I just stepped away from the curve so to speak I already knew that that would be a lot less painful! Now, long story short, I stripped and stripped and stripped and stripped. Every attempt she was too red or the paint just didn't look right. I left her for dead well over a year (sarcasm) because I was so disgusted. I finally decided it's a new year, how about another try?

She has more of a chocolate skin tone than I went for but I don't care! It's fine with me, because she still looked cute with her little tooth buds! LOL She's back to her adorable self and I am finally as happy as I am going to get!

Meet little Ms. Felicia Renae'!!!

 

I hope that you can see why all of the agony! LOL If not...taken outdoors / partial sun

 Just look at that face and I loved how her hair rooted, it is so versatile, I just couldn't let it go!

So there you have it and now we have: 

 Now for her to find her forever mommy!

 

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

Babies are coming along!

Just checking in and updating! Well Felicia / Nikki and Jazzie / Candy are coming along! Still not real crazy about Felicia's coloring but it's much better than it was. Jazzie is on her last skin tone steps so I hope to be rooting her by tomorrow! I was going to paint her hair, but a trusted friend wants me to root. Okay, so I will! LOL I have never had a hard time figuring out the eyes for my babies until Jazzie! Haven't figured out why either! LMAO However I do have some selected so once she completes her coloring I will make a decision then. I will be getting fresh pictures up hopefully by next week!

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

Another Bountiful Baby Contest! REALLY?

Bountiful Baby is having a reborning contest for newly released "Chanel and Candy"! Okay, I know, lol so while working on Felicia I am going to be bringing "Candy" (another winner) by Donna RuBert to life! She's going to be 20 inches long, has 3/4 arms and full legs! She takes 20 mm eyes. Thinking about possibly doing some hair painting, maybe. Just not sure until I see her head. I already know that I am going to do her in Caucasian flesh tones and that will keep me from getting "color slammed" while working on Felicia's AA skin tones. Meaning? That will help to keep me in perspective. She already has her name, Jazmyn!! Think I'll call her Jazzie for short! LOLROTF I am so excited! I see great photographic potential for her too!

 

They are both adorable sculpts and I know that I will have my "Candy" kit by Monday! Yeahhhh!! I chose Candy over Chanel because of her slightly opened mouth. It's as if she is cooing. She just looks like a happy baby.

 I borrowed the picture from them until she comes! Hopefully they don't mind! I just wanted you to see her right now! Anming has had her bath and waiting, but she's gotta wait until the contests are over...she's a little sad about that too! See ya soon Jazzie!!!

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

Getting there...

As of 7/15/13 little Felicia is going through reconstruction! Sorry it took so long but had a million other things going on and I want her to get my full attention!

Why? she's under reconstruction right now because I wasn't happy with her color. I want more of a honey color and she keeps giving me something else. So I put her aside until...yeah I know another tease, I know! You still can't see her face until I like what I see!  I have my fingers crossed, because she's been a little pain! LOL I just loved how her hair turned out so I refuse to give up on her.

 

This is as good as it gets for now!

 

 

  As for the twins that isn't my doing, I am still biting at the bit to show them! LOL
From my heart to yours... Hugs, Judie www.loveisforevernursery.com

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!

I promised pictures and I have delivered!

Okay, no pun intended! After rooting and rooting and rooting, I finally finished Nadia. Still as I worked there was something that just didn't grab me. Then it hit me!

Surprise, surprise about Nadia....

Nadia is a BOY!!! I guess the ultrasound was a little off!  LOLROTF Well you will see!

micro-rooted with TNGUN's mohair

 

Made an absolutely adorable little boy!!! As you can see I am having a ball photographing him. Poor little thing has no real chin to speak of but he's still very photogenic!

 

Well of course I had to come up with a new name for "him" since Nadia is a girl's name that meant hope. Meet Nuri  (pronounced NOOR-ee) which means "light". I think that it fits him very well with his bi-racial skin tones and I just love the "Joey" limbs on him. So the moral of this story is everything happens for a reason! LOL

Now off to root the twins!


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

Nadia really is coming along!

Finally got back to her but then disaster struck! My sister was bitten by her cat on her hand, they are fairly sure that he had Feline Leukemia he wasn't doing well and she's got several other cats. The bite got infected rather quickly and spread up her arm. That resulted in a 3 day hospital stay, but doing better now, him not so good he was euthanized.  If I had my druthers I'd rather be bitten by a dog than a cat, their little mouths harbor all sorts of bacteria. Although I have been bitten by a dog and my hands blew up like two Goodyear blimps, it didn't travel up my arms! Ahhhh, maybe not getting bit period would be the best thing. hahahaha

Then Nadia's limbs didn't fair very well in the bake off. Needless to say I really wasn't that fond of them anyway so maybe it was for the best or my subconscious, I didn't like her flat feet. LOL No matter I found the perfect limbs for her and I really have to admit that I like them much better! You will never guess who's limbs! They are BB "Joey" limbs I couldn't believe my luck. So I went back to work and she's got beautiful blue Masterpiece eyes "Stormy" that work so well with her bi-racial skin tones. I can't wait to start rooting her hair. I am going to use my "Black/brown" kid mohair from TNGUN for her. It has a slight wave to it so I think it will be really nice.

I promised updates:

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!

HE MADE IT!!!! YEAH!!!

Jeffrey is now officially an Australian!!

 

 

Received: Tues., April 9, 2013 4:46 AM Hi Judie... Well my little man has finally arrived to me in Australia,I am totally in awe of his sweetness, cuteness and adorability.. You have done an amazing work of art in reborning him, And love his Blue eyes, even though I was told they were Brown..You have also done an amazing job of presenting him in his box with all his goodies, to me it was just like xmas opening all the parcels..I thank you so much for his reborning so I can now have the pleasure of being his new Mummy, I love the birth certificates as well... Jeffrey is now sitting in his new stroller with a huge smile on his face and watching TV :) The weather here is warm so I have taken his winter clothing of..I will be changing him soon into his pyjamas ready for bed.. Many Thanks again.. Kind Regards... Shirley & Jeffrey :)


I have to laugh, never had this happen before because his eyes are "supposed to be ebony brown from Masterpiece Eyes. I did look at them once she mentioned that they looked blue and depending on the light there was a lot more blue, but I promise, they were brown! Then while looking at another picture I took, they do look blue, weird, who knows.




LOL Maybe while waiting so long for a mommy crying made his brown eyes blue...Just happy that she's happy!!

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