Her grayness

Without much ado I decided to play a little with the 'DR.Who fashions...
At the same time I had a little brows in my large Liv doll box. In result of mix and match i got happily non-blonde, fair and blue eyed Sophie doll...

Every time I come back to Liv dolls i'm amazed how good their face sculpt is 

and how well made and lively their acrylic eyes are!

 I kept it simple but with some bling

(this is nails and lip colour changing spa edition doll <3)

here she is modeling a little bit...

 ...and visiting my windowsill succulent garden...

...and being tiny and cute in my semi-messy kitchen...

...I feel the great Live come-back is brewing...

Automnal Sindy

Happy to announce thata bit over a month after my move I finaly had time an dmental space to start playing with dolls.
Job however not most desirable gave nice rythm to my life again, kids seem to assimilate in new scool surprisingly well (especially since they go there together now, with young one growing up)...

Having a day off mid weekI hit the roadas usual trying to connect the dots of all the new places seen on maps or from the bus.

I slowly strated to realise how lucky I actualy was living in reach of the public bus to Richmond Park and Hampton's Bushy and Home Park - hunting areas of Henrly teh 8t...oh well..

What came as the bigest surpeise and relief was a dscovery that I dont actuay need all of this family outing and roadtrip packaging - being in the nature (and with dolls) is still bringing me purest of joy - nevermind the circumstances or the past... yay!

For my first Surrey session I have chosen the most British of all my dolls I think - the60's Brunette Sindy:-)

Here she is escaping reroot as to my surprise her dreadlock was quite easy to transform into stylish vintage coiffure...

here she is all restyled and redressed and so so happy after who knows how many years...

Hanging out in Hampton Court's Gardens and veggie patch!

This is one fancy garden gate...

Then cycling gracefully we visited already slightly automnal /at the time/ Home Park

Sheis a little shy about it - its been a while for both of us...and the locations is rather prime!

Look at these ideal alleys of trees!

...or this long indeed Long Water (with a fancy fountain - not happening atm;-) )

Little bit of a heap problem but still absolutely the best legs in whole of the toy museum! 

...more cool fences...

AND

even cooler not-so-secret shortcuts...

with horsies!! 

let's finnish with a melancholic portraits...

Thank you Sindy for being my local tourguide!!!

My Dolls No 177

This post will need to be re-edited once I'll find the pictures/fix the other laptop.

Today yet another story of a doll saving the day.
Kids were away with ex-in-laws, Uk was paralised with heat wave and I was in the very middle of the lovest time of my life...downsizing from double fronted family home in norfolk where me and my kids have already made some friends..but couldnt tay as it was too diffcult for me to work enough hours withouth having help on weekends or with school runs.... so made brutal decission to move following, once again, my ex's career change in order to have my kids growng up with dad.... looking however for new home i couldnt rent as I had no job, looking for job not knowing where I will commute from, looking for new school for my kids but again I had no address to apply for... not to mention the preassure of mythical opportunities of London somewhat not happening to me anymore with mly age and career in stay at home mum... and not to mention prices of rent in the capital...

so I've been wrapping up my preious life, donating my children memories to charity, living on my designer concept store cafe waste (croisants, goat cheese tarts and Jewel rucola salad that is LOL) but I did not think twice when I saw this leg sticking out...and that it belongs to the Brunette Sindy.... and that there is bag of perfectly ugly vintage cothes....

my last purchase in  Norwich that is...

Once I took it home and had a look through it - i felt uplifted again... knowing that there are things that make me happy and carefree and that everything is gonna be alright...
so many dolls so little time....
if she could survive over 40 years why shouldn't I and such hahaha
