Heaven, it must be there …

*Jump*

*scramble scramble*

Honey: Everyone ok?

Honey: It’s not much further.

Wendy: Oh, my.

Effie: Look at this stuff? Quality goods.
Wendy: *happy sigh*

Wendy: Look a real bed!
Effie: Sure beats the hammock.

*settling in*

Effie: Where’s Honey?

Honey: Ah Nuts, Empty.

Honey: This will be great in summer.

Honey: What’s that for?

Honey(yelling): Hey guys, I found the stereo system. (quieter) Stupid little dog guarding it.

Honey: Fatten it up, then straight on the barbie.

Tania and Jordan Hang Out

Heather’s getting even more Owlly.

More clothes for Heather

Heather’s new outfit

Gift ‘cupcake’ handbag.

Little deer :luvheart

Socks and boots!!

The back of the shirts, cute.

The other t-shirt with the blue tights that came the other day.

Two more outfits still on the way

My new girl :)

So pretty

And one so you can see why the shoot was indoor today.

Heather’s new clothes.

There are a couple more pieces still on the way.

My new girl.

She arrived Tue around 12:30 I’m told, just as I was arriving at the airport. So her slumber was needlessly extended.

Her pretty pretty eyelids.

I roused her from her sleep and took her for a wander around the garden.

She still seemed a little sleepy.

But I wasn’t the only one taken with her.

She seems to like it here.

By request 3: The Jordans play ‘I win’.

Here they are playing Connect 4, or as the girls call it when they play ‘I win’.
Looks like the mansion really needs a cleaner to dust for them.

It’s big Jordan’s turn. She looks at the board and thinks for a moment.

She raises her hand to pick up a token. But notices something.

It looks like little Jordan will win no matter where she puts her token, but does little Jordan know that?

Maybe if she keeps her cool and places a token she may get to block little Jord again next go and be on track.

At that point the effort to work out what her younger self was thinking and the conundrum of being out foxed by ones self got too much for big Jordie and she threw herself dramatically to the floor.

Perhaps a little OVER dramatically.

Me: Say Jordans, how about we do something else for a bit?

And so they went to sit with the bears for a little.

By request 2: Ciçek – In the long and lonely night.

In the long and lonely night

Ciçek remembers

Being loved for who she was

Not being pitied for what she is.

By request 1: Freya and Savonah – A little boy chatter from the girls.

(I put a pic request up on a board to see which of my dolls people would want to see, first off are Frey and So.)

Freya: It’s so nice to be able to sit a while and catch up.
Savonah: It’s been a while.

Frey: Say did you see the new boys that arrived?

So: I did, both quite nice to look at.

Frey: I’m still not sure how Fiteach arrived twice.
So: *laughs* Best not to think about it. As long as he knows who he is.

Frey: Yeah, that Roke though, I can’t get a read on him at all. His face is completely blank.
So: *giggles* Funny that.

Frey: Still it’s nice having some men around here I’m not related to.
So: There’s always Alistair and Nathaniel.

Frey: *a few moments of silence* So, they’re a good six years younger than me, and up underage.
So: Is that a problem?

Frey: So, darling, I don’t know what the folks got up to on that commune of yours, nor for that matter do I care to, but out here, in the real world, that sort of thing is illegal … and besides many of us find it a little ‘eww’.
So: Oh. So if I dated Thor?
Frey: He’d get in a lot of trouble … has he said something to you? I’ll knock …

So: *interupts* But Rhyannon, she could date him?
Frey: Uh, well in theory yes.
So: Because she’s two years older than me, so he’s only nine years older than her, not eleven? This ‘real world’ of yours is confusing.
Frey: *laughing* I’ll agree with you there.

I did something stupid

and it came up pretty awesome.

Have you met Melilot?

She’s been here a while, she is an Elfdoll Eun-a head with bad ass ear mods and faceup by Becky J, who is awesome.

Anyway such badassness required a less than mundane wig.

In fact it required two wigs.

This one:

And this one:

And some scissors…

It went a little fluffy when separating them.

So I trimmed the fluff off.

Then I shortened it, because I’m thinking of primarily keeping her as a bust, so a long doo could get awkward.

Then well who can just stop messing?

Then there were 2 more halves yeah? They needed reuniting.


It’s not as cool as the first, but well that’s ok

Down the Garden – part 4

After dark in the Red Lion Mansion, everyone else asleep or out, Rhy, with the loungeroom to herself checks her email.

Suddenly she hears the cat flap, and the sound of voices yelling.

From the other room:
Wendy: It’s ok to be beaten sometimes Effie.
Effie: Finally you admit I beat you.
Wendy: That’s not what I said! I totally won. I don’t know why you can’t let me have this one thing.
Effie: I give you lots of things …

The sound is muffled by the loungeroom door closing.

Honey sighs, and climbs up onto the couch.

Rhyannon: What happened Honey? I wasn’t expecting you back for another day.
Honeysuckle: *sigh* Yeah, we got there ok and met up with some friends, had a few drinks and laughs and then Effie and Wendy started having a fight. So we were asked to leave.

Honey: Then they fought the WHOLE way home.

Honey: *sigh*

Rhyannon: *squeezes* There will be other trips Honey, you wait and see. Come on, lets get you some warm milk.

Down the Garden – part 3

Looking for a little more excitement now that the sun was heading down the sky our intrepid travellers head to a local pub for a drink or two.

The locals seemed relatively nonplussed. Apparently they’re used to the occasional unusual patron.

The evening was progressing nicely, Honey and Tom had a lovely long conversation.

Either Niamh had trouble getting a word in, or she was thinking ‘It’s a little cat in a dress …’ in either case she didn’t seem to say much.

Lizzie and Robin did not seem aware anything out of the ordinary was occuring. They only had eyes for each other.

Undoubtably Dan had seen stranger things on his travels however Sadie seemed rather bemused.

Florrie relaxed, glad how well this trip was going after the last jaunt. Pleased, she sat back and watched over her charges from above, and thought to herself, what could go wrong.

Wendy: So Effie, was this more what you were hoping for?

Effie: A Pub, with beer on tap that happily serves us little folk? Yeah this is more like it.

Wendy: Well come on have your turn! I’m waiting.
Effie: Yeah, yeah.

And in that way the evening progressed quietly.

Well that is until the girls finished playing dominos.

And both tried to claim the pub football trophy.
Wendy: I clearly won Effie, now give me the trophy!
Effie: You?? Beat me? Never happened now get your mits off my trophy!

Florrie: No, no Girls, do give the nice man back his trophy and don’t cause a scene!

But the girls did not listen.

It got so bad Jake had to call in the bouncer.

Paris: Now ladies settle down or I’ll have to remove you.

Niamh: *thinks* NOW I’ve seen everything. … Who even knew we had a bouncer?

Florrie: Oh dear! What do we do?

Honey: I don’t know about you, but I’m going to help them.

Effie: *laughing*
Wendy: I’m so embarassed, manhandled by a centaur!

Lizzie: *thinks* That centaur looks familiar.

And with that the travellers were thrown out of the Frog and Fiddle, possibly never to return.

Down the Garden – part 2

They stepped out into a peaceful looking park.

Wendy: Where are we?
Effie: It seems familar.
Honey: Lets look around. Things seem peaceful but you never know.

Effie: *Loud sigh* No dinosaurs, no danger, why did we come? This is as bad as home!
Wendy: *giggles* But the flowers are pretty! Oh look! Florrie and Honey have found someone!

And so they had. With a flitter of wings Aisling alighted upon the park bench beside the pair.

Aisling: *squeak, squeak-squeak, squeak squeak.*

Honey: You have to be kidding me.
Floriana: She’s speaking in fairy, shush and let me translate *listens* She says ‘Welcome to Ferndown’.

Honey: Of course! We’re in England!

They hung out with Aisling for a while.

Until:

Effie: What kind of night life is there around here?

Down the Garden

It had been quiet for a time.

Too long a-time for some.

So they made ready,

Warned others of their plans,

Prepared themselves for trouble,

And went to where they’d hiden it

So many months before.
