My first MH - Lagoona and some of my past creations I'm particularly proud of.

Moja pierwsza MH - Lagoona oraz kilka kreacji z przeszłości, z których jestem szczególnie dumna.

 

 

Forgotten Pictures

Jane Boolittle - one of my favourite MH || Jane Boolittle - jedna z moich ulubionych MH

These are some of my photos that were taken at random, often single shots, sometimes reminiscents of a failed photo shoot. Usually, there were too few to make up a post.

Oto zbiór moich nieco przypadkowych zdjęć, często robionych jako pojedyncze ujęcia, czasem będących pozostałością po nieudanej sesji. Zazwyczaj było ich zbyt mało na indywidualny post.

The storm is coming

Dead Tired Lagoona Blue

Today even less text than usually. I'm in the middle of a storm.

Dziś jeszcze mniej tekstu niż zwykle. Jestem w środku burzy.

Addicted

Three years ago I had three MH dolls. Today, I've got 30-ish. 

It is pointless to deny it: I'm totally addicted.

About 2/3 of my Monster High collection. || Około 2/3 mojej kolekcji MH.

Trzy lata temu miałam trzy Monsterki. Dzisiaj mam ich trzydzieści kilka.

Nie ma co ukrywać, jestem uzależniona.

Time flies

So many things have piled up that I don't even know how to name this post. I've broken my computer and been cut off for three weeks. Painful. But I guess I'm back.

Tyle rzeczy się uzbierało, że nie wiem nawet jak zatytułować ten post. Popsułam sobie komputer i byłam odcięta przez trzy tygodnie. Bolesne. Wydaje mi się, że wróciłam. 

However, my dolls weren't dormant. Once in a while I got to take them out for a photoshoot.
On the first day of warmth this spring Lagoona crawled out from the water.

Jednak moje lalki nie były bezczynne. Od czasu do czasu mogłam zabrać je na sesję. 
Pierwszego ciepłego dnia tej wiosny Lagoona wypełzła z wody.

My little froggy.

Lagoona's holiday memories

Sand, sun and water, who'd need more..? ;P Well, poor Lagoona had her holiday, now I'm having a break from dolls and I haven't even released her from her traveling case.

Lagoona's scale dress

Lagoona Blue Mad Science/Classroom wearing custom dress and Fashionistas earrings.

This is the last dress I made for Lagoona last summer. It exhausted my crocheting powers. ;)
I've been waiting to show it until Lagoona got her fins back. Thanks to a dear person Lagoona's complete once again. Thank you, K.!

Little things

Sometimes, it's little things that matter in life, like a big mug of tea on the terrace after a day of hard work.


Well, probably as many doll collectors, I 've got that thing about small things like pieces of doll-scale furniture, vessels, etc.  I guess these will be the best souvenir for me. :)

The nicest mug from Cyprus I could find. I've seen many different colours and dozens of little plates.

My favourite mug from Crete. It comes with a little plate. There was also a porcelain spoon but it was out of scale so I didn't buy it. It has a little magnet.

All we've managed to collect till now.

Accidents happen

For the first time since I came to Cyprus I decided to go public with dolls. We went to an aquarium near Agia Napa. There is a garden there, so I pulled out Lagoona and tried to take some photos. It was noon, rather warm, and the contrast of sunlight and shade made it very difficult to take any decent photos. Actually, I made one. My company was growing impatient, so I grabbed Lagoona and while tucking her into a bag, noticed that she'd lost a fin. Went back looking for it and, hurray, found it in the sand! I happily put it into the bag with Lagoona and hurried away. But at home I couldn't find it! And it's gone for good. :(

Last moments of Lagoona being complete.

She doesn't seem to despair, so neither will I.

She snatched boots from the Fallen Angel Stardoll

The Island of Aphrodite at night

 Or, I've moved again and landed in... the middle of nowhere, as it seems at the moment. I hope to find my way around here soon.

 

What can one do at night in a hermitage like this, but to howl to the moon?

On the Island of Gods

I enjoy my stay here more and more, the time passes so fast, and it's nearly the time to move on. I have my small pleasures: long walks along the seashore or up in the hills, watching animals and listening to cicadas, or in the crowd in the old city. I love to try new foods, especially exotic fruit and sweets.

I kind of regret bringing along so many dolls. I didn't even have time to take them out of the box, poor things, but for a short glance. Only Lagoona takes her rightful place at the side of my bed, despite any comments. I made only one new dress for her and took her for one solitary walk.

My slimy Thumbelina :)

The dress she is wearing is not the latest one. Actually, it's the first dress I made for Lagoona.

Hey, I'm a water creature, this sun does me no good!

Get me outta here this instant! There are spikes here!

Thank you. I like it better here.

The other reason I regret bringing so many dolls is that during my walks in the city I found a really nice toy shop, particularly one with quite many collectible dolls and some really nice playlines. They have loads of Monster High, Paola Reigna and Stardolls. Finally, I could in person asses the latter, since from the photos I could not make out, whether I want them or not. Well, now I know, I definitely do. It cost me 20 euros and three rounds around the Old Town, struggling with thoughts, if I could spend that money, but I have the Fallen Angel. It's going to be a pain looking for a body for her, but who cares... And another pain to fit her into my overloaded luggage. ;)

Meet Lagoona

This is Lagoona Blue. Although Frankie came first to live with me, Lagoona is number 1 from the start for many reasons. She was simply a little harder to get. I will probably come back to all the reasons of her supremacy, for now, lets say, we instatnly made friends, so I decided, that she'll accompany me in my first trip to Crete.

She proved to be a good, however demanding companion. She brought her original clothes, but she quickly demanded a dress suitable for the warm mediterranean spring. I didn't have time for sewing before we left, so she made me take all supplies with me. Lucky I didn't need much clothes for me this time.
I actually made her two dresses, but she refused to change on the beach.

* My Little Toadie :)

I've been away for some time and it's gonna continue, I'm afraid. I just want to quickly share my new fascination. She's keeping me company. She doesn't seem to mind... ;)
