Keeping Busy

2/12/2022

While Baron was away, Naomi started work on her wedding gown....
Picture
It was something to do to help while away the days....
Picture
She missed him terribly....
Picture
Miho would often come and keep her company. 
Picture
 "This is coming along beautifully."
Picture
"Thank you. I really want to do justice to this gorgeous fabric you gave me. It's so beautiful."
Picture
"I really appreciate how kind and welcoming you have been to me."
Picture
"Of course.  We are family now. And I can only imagine how hard this new life is for you...."
Picture
"Especially with Baron's absence when he has to go on one of these extended patrols...."
Picture
"I really miss him so very much...."
Picture
"...and I'm very thankful for your company."
Picture
After Miho left, Naomi would go back to her sewing....
Picture
But she'd often stop to look out the window...
Picture
 ...hoping to see that Baron had returned home to her.....

It is remarkable how your stories elicit so much varied emotion.

Yesterday I was laughing so hard at the poker game gone awry.

Today I am feeling a bit teary eyed for Naomi. The last photo was particularly moving. She has such a wistful look about her. She almost looks like a painting.

I try my best. The lighting through that window does make may of the photos taken there look like paintings.

I figured I'd take a little break from the Forest Dwellers this weekend, since there's two other scenes I wanted to post (this one, and a birthday) and I'd continue with my critters again Monday.

She will be an utterly radiant bride, Martha. I love your Baron and Naomi so much. I finally ordered a Naomi of my own just before Christmas, a Warm Ivory 45 Aph with Bell and Corset busts and the extra feet and hands. Your beautiful photos of yours tempted me long enough!. :)

They do make a wonderful couple.

Congratulations on ordering her! SJ has so many gorgeous dolls, but Naomi has always been my favourite. SJ also does the most amazing faceups. I'm sure you will love her. Of course, it will still be a little while before she comes, since their wait times are getting longer. I'm waiting for a Dominic as a partner for Miho.

Ooh, he will be wonderful!! I have Elf Dominic in both 51Athl (whole doll in PC) and 71Athl (Opal Beige head on NS Iple EIDM Model body), and I have to say he is one of my all-time favourite sculpts.

I also have a 63 Curvy Ltd. Eleanor in Amber Beige, and had a 63cm Curvy Luthien in Peach Cream with both heads but rehomed her. And then 73cm Zeus Adrian (with a Dom face-up) and Mattias with both heads (A face-up, made blond) are on layaway. SJ does make very nice dolls. :)

I'm hoping that Dominic turns out to be just like his promo photos. Mine will be Sonoran Beige with the facial hair (without the scar). He will be a wizard or sorcerer, and is currently in the form of a Raven - Miho's new friend. I have yet to decide on an outfit, but it will have to be the colours of the Raven - black with iridescent jewel tones. And I can't make a wig in advance since every doll seems to have a slightly different shape.
