Wig Wonders

Emma decided to play around with some new wigs. They are just for fun, since I think of her as a brunette. But still the white one will be good for some photo shoots.
I'm not so sure about the pink one though, I don't think it's really her style. 
Jacob wanted to pose too, although he didn't want to try on any of the wigs. He's very happy with his current hair selection.

Patience

She's trying to be patient, waiting for Harley. She's almost given up that she'll ever arrive. 
I feel like I've been obsessing over this MNF for months (which I have) and now that she's almost here I really need to rest. I think I keep taking the same pics of Emma over and over. Do you feel that way, too?
It's time for a small repite. I'm going to break out my mosaic quilt again and take it on the road trip and maybe actually get it finished (fingers crossed). I think I can use the fabric I have, without having to buy more, but I better check, just in case. I'm ready for it to be done. 
 I received an email from a quilting friend and now I am inspired to work on it again. Here's a pic of it, incase you don't know what I'm talking about:
I have the top and the bottom to finish yet. It's been a years long project, since I work on it for a month or so and then put it away for months and months. Hmmm...so this baby will definitely be coming on the road with me. I am also contemplating bring Emma with me on our vacation. I'm just not sure that I should. Still, I might have some really good photo ops with her. I don't know. I can't decide. It also might be nice to take a break from dolls, but will I miss them too much. Summer could always come with. Or a mini Kaya, although mini Kaya has no personality or backstory from me. She's just a doll in my mind.

Jacob Has New Eyes Now, Too

They are both wearing Glib Mystic Acrylic. Emma has Pearl Blue and Jacob has Steel Blue. 
 I think they look much more realistic that the regular Glib Acrylics I was using. At some point I might invest in glass or eurythane eyes, but not yet. I'm really happy with these. 
 I just love these two together. 
So, there's no chance of Harley showing up before vacation, which is disappointing, but not surprising. It seems I always have to wait four months for my girls instead of three. Today marks three full months. Oh well, at least I know she'll be here when we get back, since we'll only be gone for two weeks. I don't expect Crow to arrive until after we get back, at the rate things are going, since I ordered him on March 11th. 
I'm also thinking about a final fifth doll. A Littlefee Ante Elf. I was considering a Pukifee Ante, but in reality, I don't think I want to go that small. Still, I won't get her until Christmas or later. Even though I'm tempted to order her right now, since I've got the funds. But that would mean no funds for more of Harley's clothes, and I'm not done with her wardrobe.

Summer is Coming

Emma, do you think the summer is going to last a long time?
Sure. It always does. 

My mom keeps telling me it'll go by too fast. 
Adults always say stuff like that. 

I want the summer to last and last.
Don't you want to go back to school?

Well, yeah, but not for a long time. Not until August. That's almost a year away. 
Hmm...I don't think it's that long. 
Well close to a year.

Best with a Friend

Emma and Jacob decided to match today. It's more fun to get your photo taken when you are posing with your best friend.

New everything!

New eyes and wig that came in the mail today and a new spampy outfit as well. She's getting closer to my ideal look for her. I think I still want lighter hair for her. But I'm not sure. Either that or I need to buy another littlefee, an Ante Elf, to go with my Ante Human.
