Random update time!

Updates here will be very sporadic unfortunately, as I do not have internet access and probably won't be getting it at my new place. But here is a little update of a few photos I've taken recently of the boys.  I decided to put Nowell back together because I really missed his creepy cute face.  He is my favorite msd sized doll by far, and he's been with me for four years now (as of November) which is just crazy.  So here's some shots of my little undead friend with some bones and bone jewelry I own.

And a bonus shot of Emmanuel I took on Thanksgiving.

Busy month, and missed anniversary.

November turned out to be a busier month than I expected.  There was some personal, family-related issues going on, and then my best friend in the world (the one I have tattooed on me) came home for a week.  So I was on friend standard time, which mean lots of fun and very little sleep.  But she has departed for her side of the country with the promise to return for Christmas, and we can get back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Something I did miss in this whirlwind of a month was Nowell's second anniversary with me.  He arrived about a month after Uriel on November 15th 2010, so he is officially two years old (with me at least) now!  So here are some fun facts about Nowell:

• He got his name from a Tori Amos song, "What Child, Nowell"
• He was my first real Volks doll. I did have a YoSD Suzuna before, but was really too afraid to do anything with her.
• He is the most well-traveled of all my dolls, even coming to Georgia with me once.
• He is my only white skinned doll, and probably will always be.  
• He was featured on the Volks blog once.
• He was part of a psychology presentation a classmate did for one of my school courses.

Right now he's sort of stealing a wig from Gabe, though I really like this combined with the eyes he stole from Uri.  Not sure if he'll keep both, but we'll see.  I really need to dig all his clothes out of storage so he can be as well-dressed as he should be. He and Uri have more outfits than I do, I swear.

Trying new looks for Nowell just because.  I actually really like this with his face up and pretty blue eyes.  All this black makes him look like the Crow.  He did have to steal Gabe's clothes, but for the moment it's okay. ;)  I don't think the pants are really his style, nor are the shoes, but it's not a bad change.

Of course I spent all that time yesterday writing out a long summary for Nowell, and as soon as I finished I thought, "Hmm...you know what I could change..."  Back to the drawing board again. ;)  But while I revamp him, here's some pictures of him with his new face up.

I decided I'm taking him with me to the Ren Faire on Friday, so I'll be working on his outfit tonight and tomorrow.  I'm still not sure what wig he's going to wear, but we'll figure something out.  I've got a few synthetic ones and a couple more fur that might fit him.  I love the orange color I just think I want something a little different for him.  Hmm..
