PRO BJD Artist Day

Socky: SHLORP! Important message!


Armi: No need to stay in closets!
Socky: Superly not need for that!


Armi: Say no to recast BJD!


Armi: Recast is not a real thing like me! I only costed 100 EUROS and I'm totally worth it! I'm your favourite girl! Your favourite IS worth saving for!


Say no to recasts. The doll can be reached with saving, layaway and hard work. :) For Finns there is very good post from Sinin nukkeblog in finnish. There's no reason to say I didn't know or there wasn't any information becouse you can have information even in our own language.


You can skip the next part if you wish.

Also, sorry for the long doll silence. I'm sorry to say that during the summer I was way too busy with work, too tired and while I had a holiday at my parents home, I knew I had to work even harder at their place as both of them were going to go for a surgery. So the more I was going to be able to help the easier their life would be later on. First of all I went there to my parents place by train which was two hours late becouse of stormy weather the night before, I had to switch trains in the middle of the way there and it's always nervwrecking to do that. THUS I FORGOT the main luggage at the train I left when I switched trains. A huge amount of panic and a bit of crying I got all things sorted out. Luckily my boyfriend got my luggage from Helsinki station so it was saved! I had with me my doll bag, camera bag and snackbag which are of course the most important at long voyage home. My dad came to pick me up from Kajaani station and we headed to a local shop to buy me new pants, t-shirts etc so that I could be there for two weeks. I was a bit surprised how little you really need for a week and a half, my bf brought the bag with him when he came there by car.

There was a huge pile of wood to be moved from place A to place B. To see the thing...


There was also a wasp nest at the end of that THING. Lots of them. I'm so afraid of the stingy bugs...


This is how much we got to carry, my boyfriend also came there after I'd been there for almost 1,5 weeks. He was a big help and my dad was super greatfull as this was truly a big help for them. He has this little "all-terrain vehicle" with a trailer thing so we can load the wood there and then either walk or drive to the destination and then.. lots of carrying going on.

Due that and the butterflies I didn't have time to dig Eliza Day out from the bag. I did admire her a lot during the evenings before going to bed. My mom went to surgery first and it went really well. I'm glad she has recovered her operation so well, I could see the progress already when I was there. Iines the cat went nursing her while she was resting, that was propably the most important part of the healing. ;) Iines also kept me company many times when I tried to photograph butterflies. And mostly got into the way, she didn't eat the butterflies tough, which was nice.


The Queen of the land.


I made a bar for the butterflies, these tree comma butterflies were totally drunk. If you wish to make a butterfly bar I'm sure there's a lot of how to make it things going on but the easiest: put in some foam rubber on ja jar/plate/thing, pour red wine in it so the foam soaks in it, you can also add some brown sugar or old stinky fruit in it, it usually works. This has truly become a hobby for me, photographing butterflies is challenging but I'd like to think I've come better. I hope I will eventually see many new species next summer.

Anyway, I left my parents and my dad had his knee replacement surgery after I'd come back to Helsinki. Now that's it's all over I can finally say he is doing fine. It was hard not to be there but I couldn't spent all my holiday at their place, as I really needed a week full of rest after all that hard work. Happy to say it paid off a lot as when I went there later on in mid September they were happy to have all the wood carried in the sheds closer to their home.

I have made a Finnish blog where I will post the butterfly photos from now on, together with other non-doll related things Tylsä Elämä (Boring life in english, tough I'm thinking of another name for it..). This blog will keep doll stuff, crafts and such. It was great to photograph my resin dolls a little today. I've also gotten new Pureneemo, thanks to Sarif for her help to getting Mia cat. I will need to make arrangements and photograph her and my other cat Neemos together and dress the others, some of them are having less clothes on as I'm in the middle of changing their clothes. ^^; See you - hopefully - soon with the dolls!
