A New Day

10/2/2021

 
Well, I've come to the end of my story, and it's a new day, and for the first time in weeks I didn't wake up with doll conversations running through my head for the next post. 

​For the first time in weeks I don't have any photos planned. Well, I do have one, but the weather isn't cooperating.  And my photo studio thinks it's a dining room again....

I'm actually feeling a little 'lost', and need to come up some new projects to work on. Somewhere in Time has taken up all of the past few months, and that was enough to think about, so hadn't really thought much about what I want to do next. I am going to shoot a follow up with Baron and Naomi, and have already photographed most of the interior set scenes, and I'm planning to take them along on the road trip we are planning up north very soon.  

But I like to have costumes to work on as well.  It just feels wrong to sit and actually 'watch' TV in the evenings. I'm so used to always being busy with handwork, and just listening.

There's lots of stuff to catch up on - things that have been neglected for months. There's also two dolls who missed their birthdays due to me being preoccupied, and then there's Halloween coming up soon. And there's two Christmas related stories I'd love to do, and the way time flies these days it's high time to start on the costumes for those if I really want to tackle them this year. Of course, no one says I have to put the lights and decorations away right after Christmas, right? With the ongoing pandemic no one will be coming over anyways.

There's also some seriously neglected housework needing doing, boxes of fabrics to sort and reorganize, and now that the cold weather can come at any time, all the plants that have been summering outside all need to come back in. But first they need de-bugging and transplanting.

Anyways, I did put together the 'Making of Somewhere in Time' album in Favourite Photos. I didn't remember to take all that many behind the scenes photos, but it might still be of interest...

I also want to make a separate album with all the photos of Naomi's Costume Shop. I got totally carried away taking dozens of photos of several different scenes in her shop, even though I only needed a small handful of photos for her back story, so I'd like to still share all the rest. But first many still need processing.

So, lots to do.....

Thank you for the time and energy you invested in this wonderful story. I always love your stories. This one was even more special.

I will spend this evening looking at the Behind The Scenes photos. Thanks for taking those to share.

I look forward to whatever comes next. I know it will be great!

Forgive me for using this thread to say something off topic. I didnt know of an alternate way of contacting you. I was looking at the favorite pictures files. I was looking at pictures of Bianca. I kept looking at her and wondering of who she reminds me. Then it hit me. If you are familiar with old movie stars. Child star Margaret O'Brien. She was famous for crying on cue and pouting. Bianca has the same pout/ sad look.
