Reddiker Woodes

Camera Tricks

Just have been playing around with all of my cameras, and can't believe that since Little Man has been born, I've bought about six new cameras, what is That? Well, the first one needed to be idiot proof, and it held up fantastically in the operating room while he was being born, but at 6 mega-pixels, couldn't keep up with me. And it was a bear to lug around, so back to my old point and clicks, and within two years, 8 & 10 mega-pixels came out.  One broke and died a horrible death, one got spots on the inside of the lens, so every-time I'd take a wide picture, there was always some spot sitting there, that I couldn't get rid of.  So onto the heavier Canon Power Shot and as much as I love this one, it's still to big to carry in my purse, but takes perfect pictures of the dolls and at length also.  My little Canon is great, and with it being 12 mega-pixels is really nice, and I can carry it in my back pocket when rushed, but I've noticed that it's not taking the pictures I really like for the dolls.  I can't zoom in on them from across the room, without a lot of noise in the picture, so I dug out my Canon Power shot and started playing around with it again.  With the little ones on the main level I get constant daylight to help out instead of using the evil flash.  So, just playing around with the tinies and seeing if I'll go back to this camera or not and just keep my point and shoot in my purse. My girls and Ash helped me out on Friday.

 

 

  
 
 
 

Claudia & Bethany Getting Ready

That's right, just a week from today, we have out four year anniversary meet of the COBJD doll group, and there is just a buzz around the Woodes, and the house itself. But before all of the festivities, I had to get the girls pictures off form the camera.  I've had weeks worth of pictures, and with loosing my voice this past week, Little Man being sick and now FireHoth has gotten it, I've got some much needed energy to get some pictures done before the meet up. And that includes Claudia, Bethany, Pearl and Ash at Lati Land.

I had purchased this rickshaw bike a few weeks ago, after getting a regular bike from one of the ladies in our club.  The rickshaw bike I've been trying to hunt down for months actually and found it at my favorite spot in Canada at Victoria Miniland. I bought it more or less for JoAnna but she's a little too tall for it, and the twins are a little two short, but it makes for a great prop, and it's so well made.  They decided not to be too upset with me, since they haven't been getting the attention they deserved, but decided to pose without too much of a protest.  I still need to get them in their party gear for next week.

  Little blury, but much better.

  You can kinda see the small trike in the back for comparison. The girls liked it.

  Claudia and Bethany show off just a little of Pearls new Love Shack.

 Even Ash has gotten some new goodies in his area.
 
 

 
 
 

Lati Wonderland Construction

Yes, more construction has gone on within the Lati community.  Mostly todays post centers around Ash and his new house.  The actual Ghost Writer house has been retired, and is going to a Little Puki's home in a few weeks.  

Here is how the table looked before the new light house came in...

... now Ash's new working Light House, courtesy of Norms Dollhouse. :) Thank you Dave. :) 

    

   
    

   

   
 
  
 
 
  

 
 
 

When Dolls Don't Get Played With Enough

What happens? Well they find torture devices and decided to wreck havoc on unsuspecting victims. Well, not really, but close. I sound like a broken record, but still trying to get caught up on all of the Wedding stuff, and Christmas, but have found a few moments to play with the dolls, at least the little ones.  With FireHoth doing fine scale models, we go to Coplar Hobbies on a regular bases just like the scrap booking store, and craft stores.  I can always find something for the dolls everywhere I look and last week was no exception.  I'm constantly on the look out for what can be used for various dolls. Well, after seeing the Pendulum for enough times, I said it was time to come home.  Little did I know who was going to use it.

Thank you FireHoth for putting this together, it's going to make a great prop.

    

   

   
 
  
 
 
 

Christmas Lati's

Well, not really.  Not sure if Lati is going to release Christmas ones or not, but my four are in their Christmas attire sort of.  I don't have any actual Christmas clothes for them, was too busy concentrating on Halloween, but I put the Twins in their default outfits, Pearl in a hoody and her Sari hat and Ash in his red/white stripe outfit. So for now that's good enough.  Had to take a small break from post-wedding stuff and change the crew and take a few pictures.

 

 

Ash Gets a TV

The dollies haven't had a chance to get much play time or photo time in, but I think he's going with us on our trip, but before he can go, he got a new TV for his house.  It's so cute and I think he likes it.  I hope he doesn't try and hook up an X-Box to it though.

   

Mutiny on the Ghost Writer

365 Project Picture

Not true mutiny, but the girls have figured out that Ash has a boat and things to pilfer. I think we will have to get Ash a friend, and make this a little more even.

 

Meeting of The Minds

365 Project Picture.

They are conspiring I just know it.  They haven't been getting the attention they are use to and I noticed them all on the end table the other day.  I think the girls have finally given up on trying to get rid of Ash, and are now plotting my demise or taking my credit card.

25 Days and Counting

Hi all. I know, I've been away for a few weeks.  Getting lots caught up on and have tons of pictures, mostly from the 365 project that I'm going to focus on till after the grand honeymoon, but have got to get some updates of the little gang in the house and how they have taken over.  So much goings on here, but I at least got Pearl, Ash, and Claudia and Bethany redressed and into their Halloween outfits.  YAHOO.  Probably not going to be able to get much more done with them and Gray Gardens till after second week of November, but that's fine.  I have tons to do with them and lots of Rement to put up.  But I do have Gray Gardens electrified and little rice lights now shine down on the two rooms.  But for now, Ash has been invaded by girls and I'm not sure how he likes it.  Judge for yourself.

Looking very dapper in his Halloween attire, curtsey of Spampy and her wonderful fingers

  

Pearl, Bethany & Claudia all ready for Halloween Trick-or-Treating.

Ash wants to know, who are they?  I've accepted Pearl, but two more?????

Claudia is already thinking of ways to get rid of Ash.

Pearl isn't sure of the twins intentions. Pearl must put a stop to it she thinks.

  

Poor Ash is so distraught.

Oh no, are they going to throw them off the edge???

Bethany looks slightly confused also.

 

My four cuteness.

  
  

Somebody Has To Keep the Peace

And it's going to be Ash?  Well, not sure about that, but he's got the uniform for it.  When I saw this it had to come home and not one, but two. Pearl got one, but haven't put her in it yet. Cutiedolly has the cutest things and the hat and pants just made me laugh.  The hat is as big as his head.
