Anna Sculpt in need of a name!

I am feeling more inspired with this one! I think that she is coming out awesome! Don't ask how many layers she's gotten since I started on her. Light umber, Flesh 2, red and a hint of blue

I think her tummy plate is becoming a good match

but...she's still got a way's to go, which  is good while I wait on her hair from Deb of TNGUN. I have selected a cute little WILBETH outfit for her. Now I really need a name for her.


From my heart to yours... Hugs, Judie

Bountiful Baby has a new preemie kit by Pat Moulton "ANNA"

Cameron goes to LONDON and gets a new name!

I am so excited to say that Cameron nka Jamie found a home and it's in London, England! After he didn't make reserve I decided that I'd just wait until after New Years because I liked holding him anyway! He just had the most lovable face. However, a nice lady started emailing me about him 500 emails (literally, she was using her iphone) and the rest is history. He is on his way to his new home and new mommy! I mailed him express so that he should make it there just before Christmas. Now I have to nailbite until Jamie gets there and that they hit it off together.

It's been really hard with the holidays coming up. I try to keep busy, but I can't keep going 24/7. I have learned that in a year. My life is never going to be the same, I have accepted that. Still don't sleep well. Finally made myself get started again so went with this new sculpt. I started work on a new sculpt Anna (soon to have a name change?) by Pat Moulton  for Bountiful Baby. She is just the cutest little thing! Another preemie, I just so enjoy reborning them. IMPO, I really believe that she's going to be gorgeous.

She's 17 inches has adorable features of an african-American baby. The new BB Vinyl takes getting used to.

I had to start matching her soon to be tummy plate and so I did several thin washes of green to neutralize it and lavender wash to her parts. I wish the feet had a little more detail but it's a minor stepping stone. I just love her face and can't wait to finish her. I hope before Christmas, waiting on some kid mohair from Deb from TNGU Nursery. It's going to be perfect for her.  I may even enter her in BB prototype contest for the heck of it.

Here she is with her second lavender wash and working on her lips. I have a baby portrait photo that I am just in love with it's what I am using as a guide to attain her skintone coloring. I learned to start with the lips and work my way out with the preemies. Don't ask, I just do.

Maybe I'll get lucky and  find a home for little fugly "Jeffery" and the twins; Paris and Raven!  Well I will try to keep you updated on her progress. From my heart to yours... Hugs, Judie

Stinker is now Jeffery!

Well, I have been absent once again. :o( Still trying to get back in the saddle, but these holidays are killing me. Don't quite remember last year around this time. I have been busy, I finally painted the last room on the right, so I have finished the house...LOL now maybe I will get a bit more busy painting the babies!
I am happy to admit that I did finally complete "Stinker" now known as Jeffery and he took forever to root. His head is nearly big as mine! I think that he truly turned out cute in spite of himself! He has had his photo shoot, quite a difficult one because he's not (let's face it) the most photogenic, but he does grow on you. Didn't see any kind of girl in him so I even made him a little booboo over his eye cause he's ALL boy and very mischievous.

As you  can see a very rambunctious little boy that you have to keep an eye on or he gets into everything!

He has human hair that has a coarse texture that works well with him and his age. I can't corn row hair so I did the next best thing! Everyone seems to think that it is so that's a plus. Now a few more inspections and he's going to join Cameron on eBay. Yes, I had to relist him, I just can't see giving them away, but it is just seems to be the way that it's going for some of us, so sad that beautiful babies go for little of nothing. I got some more kits to work on besides the ones I have in stock. Well no matter there's always hope. Mentioning hope.

I put out part of the Christmas lights, hopefully I can work up the energy and put some on the house. I really wanted to get a lot more babies out but time just keeps running out so I have to work with what I have for Christmas.

Meet Cameron, he's on Ebay now.

Well now I can show you my little Cameron who's all BOY! He didn't win the contest but he's had loads of beautiful comments! Little Cameron is 5 lbs and 20 inches long. He wears newborn and some 0 - 3 months. He comes with a full layette and an anatomically correct tummy plate, crying baby voice box, magnetic "very life like" umbilical cord of an hours old baby. He is just adorable. I micro rooted his hair with some gorgeous mohair from Debbie Henshaw of TNGN that is so baby soft. It's first kid cut and even dry you want to touch his hair. He's on Ebay now so be sure to visit him, he's definitely looking for a mommy.

From my heart to yours... Hugs, Judie

Well it's been a year now

As you know it has been a very hard year for me trying to pick up the pieces and be me again without him, it's just still a struggling issue. I have tried different avenues to get me together and it's better some days than others but still leaves me thinking and veering off course. I keep busy but it's not really where I am trying to get back to but simply accomplishing things that we spoke of doing around the house and I am coming to the end of that road. I finally got some closure. My husband now has his marker (after a year, numerous phone calls, a lawyer and them putting it on someone else's loved one's grave. Just another chapter). Now, I am dealing with the fact that a very close family member has been very recently diagnosed with breast cancer. I truly pray that it's in very early stages and all is contained, better yet that they are totally wrong!
I have been working on updating my website. Started a memorial page dedicated to those of us that grieve for a loved one and I have several books that I ordered and working on reading to help me through this. The one I am in now "How to go on living when someone you love dies" by Therese A. Rando, Ph.D. I finished "When will I stop hurting" by June Cerza Kolf and I do know now that I am not going crazy with these torrents of emotions.
I can't remember if I said this but I have been taking guitar lessons, I think it will be a while before I really make sounds that I recognize. lolrothf I have a baby finished named Cameron, but I can't show any pictures until the contest is over in a couple of weeks! LOL I love how beautiful the skin tone coloring came out and the mohair from TNGUN is so wonderful and it stays baby soft, she may be my top mohair supplier next to Slumberland!
