thank you very much to Isabelle for listing me in her favourite blogs list!
this gives me the chance to declare my love to 5 of my favourites that aren't listed in my links yet (some serious updating is needed) and also reply to Lili's tag she sent me months ago (i'm sorry Lili, i am just useless with tags!). here they are:

this week has been very unproductive as we are trying to adjust to the heat. it is driving some of us a little bit crazy. i doubt i'll manage to update the shop by the end of the week.
hope your week has been good so far..

this new Lumi with a new style dress will be added to the shop this Friday at about 4pm British summer time.
there are only three dolls available this week, i will try and add more next week.

Léon blew his five candles today. he and his friends celebrated with a nice pirate birthday party last saturday. the cake is made of chocolate, strawberries and cream.

Tuesday already, i hope you had a good weekend.
these two Lumi will be added to the shop on Friday, i recycled some old checked shirts to make their dresses, it feels nice to give them a new life.

Astulabee

Nicole Licht is a very talented artist and one of my favourites too. her little soft sculptures creations she makes under the name Astulabee are unique and stitched with beautiful details.
i am so happy with my new possession, thank you Nicole!
you can get your own custom pony here
and visit Astulabee's lovely website here

and thank you all for your words below, little Lucien is getting better and we are getting back to some sort of routine, i may even have some Lumi ready for a little shop update next week!

hello and sorry for my absence - due to a combination of child sickness, lack of free time, dreadful internet connection and general fatigue.
i somehow managed to pull this couple off during the meltdown, they are about to cross the Atlantic so work on this new (and very dear to me) collaboration can be started.
the inspiration behind colours, material and tones came weeks ago when i watched a documentary on the BBC about the work of Albert Khan. his colour photographs project is mesmerizing, the book is on my wish list.
