Hope in the Garden

10/22/2013

 
Hope is playing 'Cinderella" today, taking a break from sweeping the leaves off the back walk, in order to share some treats with her little friends.....

The mice love the corn kernels....

I think I'm going to make a Favourite Photos album with all the miscellaneous photos with the little mice. There's never enough from each photo shoot to warrant an album of it's own, so I think combining them is the best answer.

Today I need to take all the studio shots of the Green Jennet outfit Hope is wearing, so I can finally put it up for sale. I'm also working on a couple of tiny Hallowe'en costumes for my BIDs, but won't reveal those until it's time for Trick-or-Treating.

I've come to the conclusion that the Queen of the Night costume that I've been wanting to make forever, has to go on hold even longer. I've been wanting to make something special for my granddaughter's seventh birthday, and just realized it's less than three weeks away! So I really have to focus on that, and make it a priority.

I should honestly think of commissioning an outfit for one of my girls, but at the moment, they are all dressed as characters from my novels...

Oh how sweet she is too stop and feed the mice. This is just plain delightful.
And I can't get over your almost daily inspiration with photos........wow!

Thank you! Personally, I consider a nice photo the final step in the creative process. The costumes may move on, but I'll always have the photos.

As far as daily photos - as they say, "a picture is worth a thousand words", so what better way to show what I'm up to?

Oh my ! I am completely in awe with your photos with the mice ! I am ill with fever since a few days ago but your mice and your dolls make me smile each time. I love the composition and the colors of the first photo, in my opinion, it is just the perfect photo. And of course I love the tenderness of the second one.

Oh these are so great! The mouse is such a perfect size with your adorable girl. Your photos are so inspiring. I just love them. Whenever I'm too busy to read your blog, I feel as if I missed out on something very special. Which I have!

Green Jennet possibly for sale? Oooh! Greedy me must keep an eye out for that!
