Dolls So Beautiful reborn forum

This forum is my home, where I can share my life, especially my love for creating reborns (that most people in my non-online life don’t understand, though some of them try). If you create reborn dollss, collect them, make clothes or other items for them, or are just curious about them, then this post is for you.

Dolls So Beautiful has been a fairly small group (in the lower hundreds in comparison to the higher hundreds or even more of big groups), but we’re ready to share with you and I think you’ll love it here. So here’s your invite:

Hello 2012

Happy New Year everyone! It’s now 2012! I made 10 +? babies in 2011, which isn’t bad considering I’m working full time and have a family. I know 10 for sure, but the other two I’m not sure if I did after Christmas or right before, so it might have been 12. The first baby was too long ago to remember, but the last baby of this year was Kirabo. The first babies of this year will be tied, since I am starting a set of twins :) Pictures to come in a day or two!

In which both babies are still not ready and I fail

Well, here it is December and neither of the babies are ready yet. So much for having them ready by the 1st of the month. Kirabo is finally rooted, but it will take the rest of the week to get the other layers of glue and dried in between, so she won’t be ready to be adopted until right before Christmas. And the toddler is still being painted (working on her more today), finding it difficult to find just the right tones for her. On the other hand, there are several products in my store now :) Lots more coming when I get some inspiration. If you have any ideas, leave me a comment and I’ll make it. http://www.zazzle.com/edenslittleones

 

 

Bumperstickers are awesome!

So, I just remembered that Zazzle exists and is the coolest place ever. And now I’ve made it a fraction cooler by using it to create a bumpersticker

Blogging is not my art

Ok, I’m not witty or cute or fabulous, so I’m really not that great at blogging…or even coming up with a title for each post (see a href=”http://edenslittleones.blogspot.com/2011/10/aurelia-is-rooted.html”/a for just one example). I don’t blog every day or even every week, so it’s understandable that my readers aren’t perched on the edge of their seat, awaiting my next post.

But lately I’ve been reading a few blogs and, while some I don’t even make it through a single post before nodding off, some are very witty and cute and fabulous, each in their own way. And after reading a few posts from these blogs, my brain begins to think that it, too, can do posts that are lol funny or amazingly wonderful.

The problem is…it’s an illusion. An in-my-head show of words and lights and ideas that never sound the same once written down. And so, though I may blog more often for a while, don’t expect greatness from this blog, only the mediocre ramblings of a reborn artist.

October 15th is Pregnancy Infant Loss Remembrance Day

Every year, in the US alone, about 20,000 babies die in their first month of life.br /br /At 7pm in each time zone candles will be lit creating a wave a light in memory of these children. Sadly, the grief of child loss far outlasts the sympathy. Parents are silenced by society deeming this subject as taboo.br /br /But I will not be. Pass this along to everyone to help raise awareness. Posted in memory of my son Joshua Isaiah, in Heaven, lost at 4 months due to miscarriage.br /br /a href=”http://www.october15th.com”/abr /br /Here is a picture of the reborn I made (my second reborn) I made in remembrance of my baby boy. This is Isaiah (I gave him Joshua’s middle name):br /br /div class=”separator” style=”clear: both; text-align: center;”a href=”http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-H64f38J5gE4/TpklR6E3faI/AAAAAAAAAcU/b_lpnwCzZoU/s1600/isaiah.jpg” imageanchor=”1″ style=”margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em”img border=”0″ height=”192″ width=”320″ src=”http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-H64f38J5gE4/TpklR6E3faI/AAAAAAAAAcU/b_lpnwCzZoU/s320/isaiah.jpg” //a/div

New website

a href=”http://free-website-translation.com/” id=”ftwtranslation_button” hreflang=”en” title=”Website Translation Widget” style=”border:0;”img src=”http://free-website-translation.com/img/fwt_button_en.gif” id=”ftwtranslation_image” alt=”Website Translation Widget” style=”border:0;”//abr /a href=”http://free-website-translation.com/” style=”font-size:10px;font-family:verdana;color:#000;margin:2px 4px;margin-top:0;”Website Translation Widget/ascript type=”text/javascript” src=”http://free-website-translation.com/scripts/fwt.js” //scriptbr /br /Some of you may have noticed that my website address has changed. It used to be edenslitleones.com and now it is edenslittleones.weebly.com – same me, same information, just an added .weebly in there. The reason for this is the cost of having my own .com website. It used to pay for itself, with the many custom orders I used to get. However, I have only been getting a custom order every few months and can no longer afford to pay for the old website. I have been debating whether to go with a free one through tripod or weebly and decided to go with weebly, since I knew I could insert and edit html fairly easily. I don’t know much about html, but enough to modify my pages from my old website to fit the pages of this new one. Since I love my package of backgrounds, frames, and pictures (for my website) that I had custom made, I didn’t want to give those up. Plus it’s the look and feel of Eden’s Little Ones and I wasn’t ready to change that.br /br /So, for those who are unaware, I have a new website at edenslittleones.weebly.com and my old website will no longer be available as soon as my last payment month runs out. br /br /But I’m pretty happy with the new one, it turned out pretty well, though I haven’t been able to change the header to how I want it yet. It’ll get there :) br /br /Another blog post when I get picture of my current new baby taken!
