They were so excited, they put a deposit down and need to work on selecting options. Parker may be good at construction, but he is leaving selections up to Ember.

But what has taken most of my time lately has been Christmas decorating (yes, it took months of crafting, which is now over). I will still make some decor, but it shouldn't be as intense as it has been. So I really hope regular posting is in the stars for me again. So much to complete, so many little lives needing their stories told. So much fun to be had. Alas, so many dioramas to build since it was all taken down and apart to move.</p><p>Thank you for sticking with me as I work through this.</p></div>Jaye's Doll Spacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13409132062845348610noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2510050685344751681.post-6664487744544785032020-12-31T18:28:00.000-08:002021-01-05T18:32:00.375-08:00Introducing Re-ment Reveal<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Parker and Ember are very busy with their businesses. Parker is increasing his direct clients and still working when he can with Henna for her clients as well. Ember's talent agency is expanding beyond representing models and she has several choices to make as handling business by herself will be overwhelming and impossible. She needs staff and office space beyond her home office.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />Now is a good time to figure it out as she and Parker plan their wedding and search for a home to share together. They will not be comfortable in
Ember's townhome and Parker still shares an apartment with Jun. Jun knows he will be moving on so he is preparing for a new roommate or to just pay the bills on his own.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />They made it a point to meet at the Flavor Café today for a late lunch. They sometimes work long hours and it gets challenging to spend
time together. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">There were a few changes at the Flavor Cafe too due to the new location and increase in business. Song is now working there which gives Rowan the freedom to take on more catering orders and she and Marisol don't have to work 6 days per week. They are very happy.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ember:
<i>You have a lot going on with construction right now. How would you find the time to do that? Plus, is it worth it? You'd have to pay the crew. Working out the pay versus just paying a little more for a ready to move in house is probably comparable.</i>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Parker:
<i>Maybe you're right. But no matter what we get, there will still be work to do.</i>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ember:
<i>Yes, but painting and some minor things when we get to them is a lot less
work than full construction.</i>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Parker:
<i>Honey, it's not that much of a difference. You know I can do the work.</i>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ember:

when you're home?</i>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<i>Okay. That's fair. As long as we have the house before the wedding. I'd like to get that out the way. That way we won't feel so cramped and rushed after. Besides, with my need to find office space,
I need some things done and out of the way.</i>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Parker:
<i>Are you sure you don't still want your office to be at home? Maybe we can find a large enough house.</i>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ember:
<i>No, I don't think that will work. While I still need a space to work from home, I don't think we can house enough office space. If Journey
Talent keeps growing, I won't have room for staff and I don't want to keep moving the office once I get one. </i>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Parker:
<i>Makes sense, Honey. I don't think I need a large office though.
We just need to really work our numbers to be sure we can afford the house,
wedding and office space.</i>

Marlin told Syren she needed to spend some time with her and Syren, who is always up for good times with her friends, obliged. They are relaxing and chatting at The Flavor Café counter. <br />
<br />
The café is still getting some finishing touches, like new tables and chairs, but the new counter is nice. While they had one table and two chairs at the prior location, the café was not originally opened to seat guests. So the limited sitting spaces are nice and at a premium.

All of the play dolls are out and organized by family and/or relationship, with the most used on the top row of the shelves and less used on the second row. The second row residents may not be happy about it, but it could be worse. They could be the display dolls who will remain cooped up until I can figure out what to do with them. I no longer have my display cases, sooooo….yeah.<br />

So far I have started (and need to finish) customizing the Our Generation Diner which is now The Flavor Café. Rowan has selected a new color scheme, as you saw in the last blog. I'm loving it. I just need to wrap up doors and walls so I can photograph better.<br />
<br />
In the interest of organizing, I have made the tough decision to cut back on the several fabrics I have accumulated. I have a bad habit (issues) of seeing something I like and swearing I'll make something with it. So I have made the decision that the only items I really need to make are for the curvy girls, the babies and toddlers and the expectant mothers. Those are items I cannot find easily or as easy as all of the clothes I continue to get for the other ladies. I get Sparkle Girlz items galore, some I just finally took off the cards. I think there were about 50. Yes, 50. Did I say I have issues? 😒<br />
<br />
I have also been able to acquire some more items for the guys. Less sewing clothes means more time to make the places and spaces. Well, I may even make a few wedding gowns, but we'll see. Not more than 3 couples can get married in a year and some may have to keep it small. Very small.<br />
<br />
So there's my plan for cutting back. I just need to go through the fabrics and cry as I separate them. I can't just throw them away, so I will have to donate or something. Then cry again. 😂<br />
<br />
No post is complete without photos, so here are some random things.<br />
<br />
First, I bought this great Re-ment set of blenders. I'm in love! That's Egypt testing the size and they are pretty small.<br />

Oh, and I have this beautiful lady who was given to me and quite a surprise. She'll get a name soon. <br />

Then I bought every chair I could find at Dollar Tree. These will not be a waste. Lots of restaurants and dining opportunities.<br />

Sloane got some new lipstick. I need to send her to some yoga classes so she can get more flexible. I think Chi may have some openings in her classes. I may be a stretch (ha ha) but she'll be happy in the end.<br />

And then I went to Dollar Tree and stumbled upon these classy drawers. I must build a boutique or other room around them. I had to have them!<br />

That's enough of randomness for now. <a href="http://themonstercrafts.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">MonsterCrafts</a> has given me an idea for sharing some of my favorite blogs and maybe doll Youtubers, etc. I can't share all the Instagram pages because I follow so many, but maybe I'll name a few for specific reasons (like things they sell). </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Oh, and for the first time in history (well, my history) and probably the last, I'll be going to the Integrity Toys (IT) Convention...virtually. I never figured I'd never go in person. It costs a lot and I really just like to get the guys. Yes, I love the dolls I have from them, like my Bad Ass Trio, Jai, Logan and others, but I don't buy a lot because they are not as flexible as I'd like and made for high fashion. Most of my ladies are just regular (non-model) people. I mostly like IT for the men because, while Mattel delivers on the ladies (especially with them expanding the MTM bodies in skin tones) and they are working on MTM men, I still like the tall men IT provides. So, I'm sure I'll blog about that experience. </div>

Rowan and Rahim say goodnight to Parker and he leaves to visit with Ember and Erwyn. Rahim walks over and wraps his arms around Rowan's waist. As much as she wants to keep thinking about the menu, Rowan enjoys the attention from Rahim and doesn't resist. Parker's comment is a great lead-in for a conversation Rahim has been thinking about having with Rowan.<br />

Rahim expected some surprise from Rowan, but not for her to believe he's a heel trying to rule over her. It was never his intention.</div>

Rahim figures they have talked enough about the future. He had shared his thoughts on a possibility. There was no need to rock the boat any futher. He knew Rowan would give it some additional thought later and whether she agreed it was the right path or not, Rahim was still committed to moving forward. It would take something more than Rowan wanting to keep her business to make him leave her.<br />

I wonder when Rahim is going to propose. Considering Parker and Ember have yet to get down that aisle or get their new place together, I need him to be patient. I'm sure you can see The Flavor Café has a new color scheme. For some reason, I was inspired to go in this direction and Rowan finds it to be an inviting choice.<br />
<br />
Glad you are able to stop by. We should be back to a pretty regular schedule soon.<br />

Well, this set is worth every dime. You’ll see many, if not all, of these items in The Flavor Cafe. Let me know what you think of the speech bubbles. <br />

Thank you for coming back to the blog after such a long absence.

The ladies quickly greeted her and got her out of that jacket dress (what else did they have to do to pass their time?).<br />
<br />

I then welcomed a new guy who Nike quickly snatched up..<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

But she wanted him to be able to move, so she tried to butter up this guy...<br />
<br />

<br />
But it didn’t work. He told her she was barking up the wrong tree. So when this other guy arrived, she was the first to greet him and offer him a drink...<br />

I'm making some changes and going to set up some new dioramas. I also have some homes and other places to build. Parker and Ember will need a home together, the Hamiltons would like a larger place. Somali and Crain want to stop renting, the Watanabes are tired of waiting for a larger place. The models are thinking of getting a place together. <br />
I've decided to move some things around and set up in a larger space. It's taking a while and then the holidays are coming. I really want to have a holiday theme this year, but we'll see how that goes.<br />
<br />
Anyway, once I get some things settled, I plan to post more regularly. Lots of stories to tell, new residents to introduce and place to show.<br />
<br />
So, while I've ripped several (well maybe all) dios apart to build bigger and better, I haven't stopped accepting applications for new residents. So, let me show you two of the new ladies whose names are yet to be told. They are from the new BMR 1959 line and I love them. Both are beautiful, but one has the extra bonus of being the darkest, Made to Move doll by Mattel. These two are going to fit in just great.<br />

Grayson agreed to make her happy. So today is the barbecue and guests are enjoying items Cyann and Grayson are serving. Of course they invited close friends, some of whom we allowed to extend invitations as well. Everyone is having a good time.<br />

Ember: <i>Is he asleep? You know I need my baby fix.</i><br />
Avery: <i>No, but he's been fussy, so I want to leave him in there a little longer. He's just a little cranky, probably the heat, so I'll either see if he's okay with a dip in the kiddie pool or have to take him inside for a little while. I'm hoping keeping him under a little shade will keep him calm.</i><br />
Ember: <i>I understand. Well, if you get to the point you want him inside or just want a break, Auntie is here.</i><br />
Avery: <i>Thanks, Ember.</i><br />

Syren: <i>So when are you going to put on a ring it, Brett?</i><br />
Brett (blushing): <i>Oh, don't worry, I think Marlin's definitely the one. It's just that sometimes I don't think she believes she is.</i><br />
Syren: <i>What do you mean?</i><br />
Brett: <i>Sometimes she doesn't think she's worthy of being treated well, but at the same time I know she wants to get married. I think she holds herself back.</i><br />
Syren: <i>Well, I know she loves you and wants to marry you. I think she's just afraid to get her hopes up and then be crushed. That's all. But I'm sure she'll be all in if you ask her. And, I can make myself available for ring shopping.</i><br />
Brett (laughing): <i> I appreciate the offer. Thank you.</i><br />

Chase: <i>I think so. Don't you have one?</i><br />
Grayson (chuckling): <i>Us regular, stainless steel spoon people don't even think about things like that. </i>Craig: <i>Nope. We know it's just the deal and if we get left, well, we suck it up. </i><br />

Cyann: <i>Girl, you're tripping. Let it go. You haven't been with that man for a long time now. But maybe if you throw him some for old time's sake and give him what he wants, marriage, you can have him back. Until then, he's somebody else's guy. Get a new man. </i><br />

Fatima: <i>So, Bonnie, do you and your husband ever go to Florida for vacation? If you ever want to know about some nice places to visit or hot spots, let me know.</i><br />
Bonnie: <i>No, my husband is not that kind of traveler. I mean, he goes out with his friends on road trips, but not the two of us. I mean, he's a guy who likes hanging out with his buddies, I guess.</i><br />
Fatima: <i>So while he's on his road trips, do you take road trips with your friends?</i><br />
Bonnie: <i>Uh...no, I don't. I stay home to make sure the house is clean. Plus, I don't work, so I don't try to make him budget for me to take vacations. I mean, he works hard and I take care of our small home. It works, you know?</i><br />
Fatima (raising an eyebrow): <i>Well, if it works for you. If you'd ever like to come visit me in Florida, you're welcome. It won't cost much so it shouldn't break your budget.</i><br />
Bonnie (sheepishly): <i>Thank you. That would be nice.</i><br />

While Maurice doesn't want to cause any drama, he would feels it would be even more awkward acting like he doesn't know Henna. At the same time, he is concerned about what Henna may say which will make things worse. The last time he saw her, he took her home from Reds' (<a href="http://jayesdollspace.blogspot.com/2018/01/the-night-gets-busier.html" target="_blank">recap here</a>) he made a mistake and kissed Henna when he dropped her off at home. When he volunteered to take her home, he honestly didn't think it would be a problem and would stay completely platonic. But there she was, the woman he wanted to marry and have children with. There she was, the woman he once enjoyed spending time with and being intimate with for months. <br />
<br />
Henna was wearing a familiar fragrance, looking just as beautiful and sexy as ever, so he did not resist when she leaned into him and kissed him. He had forgotten himself and his resolve for just a few seconds, but it was enough for him to both enjoy and feel guilty about. When Henna asked him to come in, he almost gave in and went. But he realized what should have stopped him from kissing her at all - as much as he had loved her, she didn't want to commit to being with him. Maurice was with a woman who knew she wanted to get married at some point and have children, just as he did. Even though she may not become his wife, the possibility was there and he owed her better than a cheating on her. How far he had gone with the kiss was bad enough, but now he would go too far if he allowed himself to give in to his attraction to Henna. He thanked her, but declined. Worse yet, Henna told him that if he ever changed his mind, the door was still open. A temptation he wrestled with from time to time, but continued to fight as he reminded himself of how lovely, engaging and motivated Chi is. He just hoped Henna would let it go and not bring up the kiss.<br />

Brett: <i>And how do you get out of the doghouse?</i><br />
Craig: <i>Man, if there were an easy way, we'd bottle and sell it to be millionaires. You just have to wing it and do your best at groveling. As a matter of fact, master groveling.</i> <br />
Grayson: <i>But do yourself the favor. The few times she admits that she is in the doghouse, milk it. Milk it because it won't happen often. You may even want to document it to have proof it happened.</i><br />
Crain: <i>I don't know you guys, but I can agree with that one. Milk the crap out of it because it is a rare thing.</i><br />

This looks like a good barbecue. Caught a few candid shots of the fun and fellowship.<br />

That's also the day she met Catori, with whom she has been communicating since. Catori has valued having someone to talk to who understands and encourages her. Her husband Dakota is very supportive, but Catori finds comfort in another woman who once blamed her own body for being unable to conceive. <br />
<br />
But today isn't about Catori and Somali. It's about the stroller Somali ordered (since Azure is getting to being for her current one), to replace this one:<br />

Today, Crain and Somali are at <i>In Style Baby</i> to pick up the special order stroller. As you may remember, <i>In Style Baby</i> maintains a large stock of gender neutral items, but also sells special order items and some gender specific items.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since their currently rented apartment is only a few miles from the store, they decided to walk over and walk Azure back home in her new stroller. It's good exercise and Azure gets to enjoy the warm weather. It's a slow day at the store, so only Mercedes and Logan are working. Logan is in the back working on inventory, so Mercedes is assisting Somali and Crain.</div>

Also, thought I'd introduce a couple of new residents, Sterling and Preston Banks. Sterling was a very fortunate purchase which I had been considering for a long time, but just wouldn't pay the price for him. Someone I follow in Instagram sold him at a great price and I happened to snatch him up. Of course, I had to change him because his hair and beard weren't to my liking.</div>

Azure is getting big, too big for her current stroller with the carrier/car seat attached, so Somali is at <i>In Style Baby </i>shopping for a new one. Of course, since she's in the store anyway, she's looking at the other items they have. She is perusing for summer clothes for Azure and checking out what's available. </div>

Waverly: <i>We are moving out some items from Spring and still getting in new stock. I know we just got in some new four piece outfits for summer. She'd be so cute in them. Let me go see what we have so far.</i></div>
<div>
Somali: <i> That would be wonderful. I'll be here looking. I'm going to need a stroller too, but I don't see anything I like on the floor.</i></div>
<div>
Waverly: <i>No problem. I think we can find what you'll want in our catalog. If we don't have something in stock, we can order and it will arrive quickly. </i></div>

Somali: <i>So what do you think, Zu? Should we get a small pool and get wet this summer? I'll see if we can put one outside in the small yard at the townhouse. Maybe they have swimsuits for you here.</i></div>
<div>

<div>
Somali and Crain are still renting, but moved out of the very short-term rental they had into a small townhouse. They are planning to stay there until they can find a place t buy. They really want something they can make their own. Maybe 2 or three bedrooms. After all, Zu Zu may need a brother or sister one day and a house should be an investment.</div>

Waverly: <i>We have these in four colors. We are lucky as we have a connection to the designer, so we are one of few stores which carries these fabulous items. They are a great deal.

Catori, who can't help herself but visit the baby stores to dream about her 'one day child' was hit hard by the question. No, she wasn't but she and Dakota were trying all they could. Tests, trying, checking dates, taking vitamins, if it seemed like it could help, they would do it. But now she'd have to muster up the courage to respond to a question she should have known was coming the moment she made that statement.</div>

<div>
Catori (surprised): <i>You do? </i></div>
<div>
Somali: <i>Yes. That's the look of fading hope for a child you keep working hard for. A child you swear will never come even though you just keep trying. It may even include at least the one time you saw two lines on that stick and yet you couldn't get the baby past 8 weeks. I know that look and that feeling.</i></div>

Catori: <i>It seems like you do know. We do keep trying. I just...I don't even know why I keep coming to these stores. I guess I hope if I will it, it will be.

<span style="color: blue;">She is so talented. I have a few items I didn't get to showcase yet, so they will wait for the Fall to be seen. But she is constantly coming up with new patterns and can do special orders from a photo. A photo, now that is some talent. I want to set aside a budget to keep ordering baby clothes from her during the year. I know I make my own, but I make them in cloth (sewing). I can't knit or crochet to save my life. She is awesome and she crochets for the ladies and the men too, but we all know I have a baby addiction. But I think I may be able to talk her into some toddler items too. Hmmm.... The link to her Etsy hop is above and you can also follow her in Instagram.</span></div>

Oh, and I know I've been a little less consistent with posting lately, but I still do things for the dolls. I have about 4 (at the least) places to build this year, so I've been working on how to create them, plus, I needed some painting weather (although I painted earlier today, it's raining again as I type. Thunder, lighting and all that jazz). </div>

Jaye's Doll Spacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13409132062845348610noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2510050685344751681.post-17118097490985402692019-03-17T14:46:00.002-07:002019-03-17T14:46:36.772-07:00Ring Around the Dollies (Musings of a Blogger)For quite some time now, finding rings for the ladies (and men, but they are harder to find them for) has been a challenge. Isis' ring engagement ring is through her finger and her band is painted on (after reading this post, I fear she will be quite upset with me and ask for a new body so her rings can be replaced), that was the best I could do for her. <br />
<br />
Vedette, Egypt and Marianna have no choice, the rings on their right hands are via holes, but still lovely rings. Most of the married ladies have had no wedding bands (at a minimum), but they'd like to have them. The single ladies just want to sport rings because they are (let's face it) fashionistas. <br />
<br />
I have been on the hunt, tried tutorials and still not able to figure it out. For Ember's engagement ring, I did tried a piece of wire with the diamond on it. It lasted long enough to show she was engaged, but then went kaput. So I had to hide her left hand for the last story (hopefully no one noticed, but I am telling on myself since I fixed the issue). <br />
<br />
I was fortunate enough to secure a ring for her from the Dynamite Girls line (Score!). She's happy with it. But I can't afford to keep spending that money. And then I found it, the solution no so far from the other items I had tried, jewelry findings. I finally found the right item (maybe I'll tell you, but for now, you must suffer through the mystery) and now I'm ring making crazy.<br />
<br />
I must say that wedding bands are the easiest, but other rings are just fine. However, I still have not perfected the engagement ring with a diamond. The diamond is only secured with glue, so it can be easy to knock off if I'm not very careful. So I need some work there.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I'm going to be on ring making frenzy as there are many (yes, many) ladies who'd love rings. I'm going to show you some of the ladies and their rings so far.<br />

Somali has on both her engagement ring and band (another diamond I have to watch out for)<br />
<br />
I'm loving that I found a way to make rings and have lots of work to do to get rings on fingers. Oh, and yes, that requires separating their fingers with a very precise pair of scissors made to cut into fine places. An Instagrammer I follow, Miranda, who also writes the One Sixth Avenue doll blog (you should read it, she's very talented with her dioramas, clothes and other doll things), separated her doll's fingers which gave me the courage to try it.<br />
<br />
That's it for now.<br />

They have not yet set the date, but have started discussing their plans. They are not sure if it should be a Spring, Summer or Fall wedding, but they are certain they will be getting married as soon as they can. Parker is concerned about having a larger place to live. He'd rather not crowd into Ember's bedroom and he would still like a space for his own home office. The kitchen is already a tight squeeze. Plus Parker feels he would be moving into Ember's home, not THEIR home. So a lot is hinging on how soon they can find a new place to live.<br />
<br />
Ember understands. In the interim, the news has spread and Cyann, being who she is, just has to organize some things for the imminent wedding. So today she is having a small soiree and has invited Ember's sisters, Henna and Syren, and Ember's soon to be sister-in-law. She is trying to be 'the hostess with the mostest' with the food and drink.<br />

Syren (smirking): <i>Maybe you'd be a happier more relaxed person if you let someone, anyone, hit that more often.</i><br />
Ember: <i>Alright. Don't make me pull you two apart and place you in separate corners. You can enjoy the lives you want. No judgement.</i><br />
Henna (rolling her eyes): <i>Sy, just because you are Jezebel incarnate, doesn't mean...</i><br />
Ember: <i>I said cut it out. This is about my engagement, not your big sister, little sister dysfunction.</i><br />
Syren (looking down): <i>I'm sorry, you're right.</i><br />
Henna: <i>Yeah. Me too. So, let's change the subject to something more exciting. Avery, how's life with two now?</i><br />

Avery: <i>Wonderful! I've decided not to return to work for a while. I just want to be home with my cherubs. I just enjoy every moment.</i><br />
Cyann: <i>Hmm...It looks like you're enjoying those drinks too.</i><br />
Avery: <i> I haven't been able to let loose in quite some time. I don't have to drive, so I'm going to imbibe as much as I want.</i><br />
Cyann: <i>Good for you. I'm letting loose too. Well, mostly because Gray is here. He's on Daddy Duty for the rest of the evening and I'm going to take full advantage of it. </i><br />

Syren: <i>Speaking of dads, I get that Parker is going to be Erwyn's dad now, but will there be more nieces or even a nephew in my future?</i><br />
Ember (grinning): <i>Well, he does want children and I would love to have more. We are getting a house, so we'll have room to grow. Although it will probably mean we will have to search for a full-time nanny will be necessary with our schedules and trying to run two businesses.</i><br />
Cyann: <i>Elaina won't want the job?</i><br />
Ember: <i>She likes all the hours she gets now, but I know she's been talking about when her husband is home permanently. She plans to start her own family soon. He was just here for Valentine's Day.</i><br />

Henna: <i>How small? You know this is Parker's first time. I'm sure he wants his family there. Probably friends. By small you mean less than 200?</i><br />

<br />
It's Valentine's Day evening. Ember is home after having been out with Parker. She's in the bathroom soaking in the tub, which she felt like she needed when she got home. She thought it would relax her. She's trying to pull herself together and be as quiet as possible. She doesn't want Erwyn to hear her crying.<br />
<br />

Ember is still trying gather her thoughts considering her dinner with Parker this evening and how it went. She finds it interesting that it was Valentine's Day when her sister, Henna, found herself in a similar situation (you can read the story <a href="https://jayesdollspace.blogspot.com/2017/02/the-champagne-toast.html" target="_blank">here</a>). Ember has so many emotions going through her right now. <br />

As Ember sits, letting the heat from the water warm and soothe her The evening turned out so different than she thought it would. <br />
<br />
Ember places the wash cloth over her face and puts her head back to relax and reflect on the evening...<br />
<br />
Let's join her in her reflection...<br />

Ember and Parker are enjoying the dinner he planned for them. It's Valentine's Day, almost like a the Valentine's Day when they left and became intimate for the first time (you can read that story <a href="https://jayesdollspace.blogspot.com/2017/03/penny-for-your-thoughts.html" target="_blank">here</a>).<br />
<br />
The mood and the ambiance are lovely. As always, Parker is a gentleman, but Ember has noticed he's a little strange. There's something about him that's a little unsure, almost nervous. Ember isn't sure if she's correct or just misreading him. She doesn't believe so, but she's still not sure.<br />
<br />

Ember: <i> Dinner is delicious. I'm glad you were able to get us seating Select Spaces. I would have thought for sure they would be terribly booked tonight. They really out did themselves on the menu and the décor. It's so perfect.</i><br />
Parker:<i> I'm glad to hear you think so. I wanted everything to be perfect. It's a special night.</i><br />
Ember: <i>Yes, Valentine's Day is certainly that. It's interesting how much is poured into this day for so many people. It's like they need it to show how much they love someone. </i><br />
Parker: <i>Some do and some like it for a reason to make things even more special.</i><br />

Parker: <i>Do you remember our special Valentine's Day? Our first time?</i><br />
Ember: <i>I sure do. I think about it sometimes and I treasure it. But I'm pretty sure we've topped it since then. </i><br />
Parker: <i>We'll keep topping it. So, do you want some dessert tonight? I'm pretty sure it comes with the package. </i><br />
Ember: <i>Maybe some here and the rest may have to go. We've had so much, I think I will burst I'm so full. I felt like licking the plate with everything we had. So satisfying.</i><br />
Parker: <i>Mmm. Save that thought about licking. I have some ideas which will be satisfying, but not fill you up.</i><br />

Ember: <i>Oh, really? Well, I was thinking I have some ideas which may make you want you to take dessert home instead of having it here. </i><br />
<i></i>Parker: <i>Are you sure Elaina can't stay with Erwyn for the rest of the evening? We could see if our room is available.</i><br />
Ember (laughing): <i>No, she cannot stay. I was lucky she could even come this evening. Her man will be home early tomorrow morning and she hasn't seen him in a long time. Besides, I need to get Erwyn off to school in the morning. </i><br />
Parker: <i>Okay. But if you change your mind, the offer still stands.</i><br />
<i></i><br />
Ember and Parker enjoy chatting and then the server comes to clear off the table and take their dessert order. They decide to enjoy some champagne.<br />

Parker: <i>I'd like to propose a toast, if you don't mind.</i><br />
Ember: <i>Of course I don't mind, Sweetheart. What would you like to toast to?</i><br />
Parker (taking her glass): <i>This toast may take a minute, so I don't want you to drink before I'm done, please.</i><br />
Ember (curious): <i>Okay...</i><br />

Parker (looking deeply into Ember's eyes): <i>I want to toast to being more happy than I ever thought I could be with a woman I truly love with all my heart. I want to toast to us spending a long life together with you as my wife. I want to toast to your giving me a child now, my daughter, Erwyn, and to our future children. I want us to toast to your doing me the honor of becoming my wife.</i><br />
Ember: <i>Your wife?</i><br />
Parker: <i>Yes, will you marry me?</i><br />

Ember looks at Parker intensely for a moment. She wasn't expecting this at all. It was truly a surprise. <span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: black; display: inline !important; float: none; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">After losing Evan, Ember promised herself she would never get married again. And now t</span>his man whom she would never want to hurt. This man with whom she has spent so much time, who has invested himself in her and her child was asking her to spend her life with him. He deserved an answer and she needed be able to bring sound to her throat and respond. It took her a minute to muster it with tears welling up in her eyes, but she finally did.<br />
<br />
Now, Ember is in her bathroom done reflecting and out of the tub and drying off. She has controlled her tears and pulled herself together. <br />

There's a knock at the door and Ember is concerned that she has awakened her daughter. She softly responds.<br />
Ember: <i>Come in.</i><br />

Parker: <i>Babe, you're keeping me waiting. And you smell so good.</i><br />
Ember: <i> I'm sorry. I was just thinking.</i><br />
Parker: <i>Thinking about what? Penny for your thoughts.</i><br />

Parker has Ember turn around so he can look at her and notices her eyes are slightly red.<br />

Parker (concerned):<i> Are you okay?</i><br />
<i>Ember: Yes, I was just crying, but I'm fine.</i><br />
<i>Parker: You're still crying.?I hope they are still the same tears of joy.</i><br />
Ember (laughs): <i>Yes, they are. I have it together now. I know I've been a little emotional, but I'm just so happy. I never thought I'd be so happy again. I never thought I would get married again. There are just a lot of emotions flowing through me right now. All good emotions, but a bit overwhelming. I can't wait to walk down the aisle and be your wife. I love you so much.</i><br />
Parker: <i> I love you too. Thank you for making ME so happy. Now I think I can be helpful with applying that lotion you're always putting on. Come to the room so we can continue celebrating. Then we can tell Erwyn the good news in the morning.</i><br />
Ember:<i> Yes, Sweetheart. I think she'll be very happy too.</i><br />
<i></i><i></i><br />
Woo hoo!!! So there will be a wedding after all. <br />

Thanks for stopping by. ~ <i>Jaye</i>Jaye's Doll Spacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13409132062845348610noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2510050685344751681.post-74349138636861025252019-02-09T18:23:00.001-08:002019-02-09T18:23:18.922-08:00A New AcquaintanceToday, Ember is waiting to have lunch with a new acquaintance for business, Somali Stewart. Somali and her husband, Crain, moved to the area a few months ago and are living in temporary housing until they decide where to move for a longer term.<br />
<br />
Somali is an operations consultant who specializes in the fashion industry. She is brought in when companies need help with setting up design spaces, putting together fashion shoots, fashion styling, coordinating the accessories and organizing the team. She creates and brings things together. Being new to the area, she is still learning it and still trying to settle down. <br />
<br />
Her husband, Crain, is a property developer. His company relocated them to the area so he could work on a rather large multi-building campus for them. He earns well into the six figures, so Somali doesn't have to work, but she enjoys it. She is good at what she does and was very popular where she used to live. She is building up contacts in the area and Ember was fortunate to have been provided with her information via Leera Medina, another business partner and owner of LeeMa Designs.<br />
<br />
Somali also happens to be the cousin of the supermodel, Zain Bello.<br />
<br />

<span style="color: #741b47;"></span><br />
Somali has not yet found a sitter, so she has to work with Crain's schedule when she would prefer not to take their daughter, Azure, with her somewhere. She explained the situation to Ember when Ember asked to meet with her as soon as possible. Ember, being a single mother herself, understood and invited her to bring Azure to their lunch meeting. <br />
<br />
Since Ember arrived first, she had the hostess switch out a chair for a high chair for the baby. She's checking on business items while she waits.<br />

Ember: <i>It's okay, Zenia. Just be sure you make it to the shoot on time. We'll handle the contract for the Burn shoot later. We still have time. Just read it over thoroughly.</i><br />
Zenia (on the phone): <i>I'm excited. This is going to be a real boost for me. Jye said she was asked to do the same shoot, but had to turn it down for something else.</i><br />
Ember: <i>Yes, unfortunately, but that's okay. Sani is available and still building up her reputation, so she's going to be there with you. </i><br />
<i></i><br />
Ember looks up and sees Somali approaching with Azure in her arms. She tells Zenia she needs to get off the phone.<br />

Somali: <i>Thank you, but I have it under control. I am, however, very hungry. I hope the server comes soon. It's been a busy morning. I had some marketing items to get out. A prior client tried to talking me into flying to Seattle to work for an entire week, which I can't do right now.</i><br />
Ember: <i>That says something about your skill.</i><br />
Somali: <i>Possibly, but I can't go for a week. It's okay, there will be other opportunities.</i><br />

Somali: <i>I can create story boards, provide photos and sketches of the scenes or displays I recommend. It helps my clients to have a better visual of what things will look like. I can also provide the model placement and pose suggestions. I worked with several photographers where I used to do business, but here, I have only worked with one so far, Teagan. But she's good.</i><br />
Ember: <i>I have a photographer I like as well, Dallas. He's good and the ladies like him. Unfortunately, he can be hard to book, but he's my first choice.</i><br />
Somali: W<i>ell, maybe we can invite them both to do a shoot and then we'll have to first choice photographers available.</i><br />
Ember: <i>That sounds good.</i><br />

Ember and Somali talk about upcoming plans. After a while the server returns with drinks and the food they ordered. Somali feeds herself and Azure (with baby foo she brought with her) while they talk.<br />

Ember: <i>There are some really key shoots for the summer. I do think outdoor spaces will be part of the theme at least one of my clients is looking for. One of my business partners, Chambray, will be launching her line this year. Which is so exciting. It has taken her a while, mostly because she's been busy with modeling contracts, but she's ready to get her own line out there.</i><br />
Somali: <i>Good for her. I love that entrepreneur spirit. I have it myself, you have it. It's great to be surrounded by women who have that same drive.</i><br />
Ember: <i> I agree. My sister, Henna, also owns her own business. We learn from each other. Seeing her success was big part of why I realized I could start my own business and pursue my dream. I'm so glad I did it. Just a lot of hard work, but it does pay off.</i><br />

Somali and Ember continue to chat about business, until dessert. They both couldn't resist the options available. Azure has been pretty good until now, but she's fidgety so Somali has to take her out of the chair to keep her calm.<br />
<br />

Somali: <i>So, on a more personal note, I could use some insight into some good places to shop here. I'm also looking for things to do. We do have family pretty close, well about an hour's ride away. But not right here. So they don't really know this area enough to guide us. If you have any recommendations, please let me know.</i><br />
Ember: <i>I think I can help you with that. It depends on what you're looking for, but here are my suggestions. If you want a casual dinner with good food, try Color Burst. For a nice secluded experience, whether romantic or just a few friends, there's Select Spaces. Oh, and for some food you just want to grab during the day or bring home for dinner, there's the Flavor Café. I love that place. It's only open Monday through Friday until 5 or 6. They also cater. </i><br />
Somali: <i>I'll have to try those out.</i><br />

Ember: <i>I haven't been there, but I hear Lila's is good. It's also a nice place for a quiet intimate evening. Oh, and how could I forget. Artaste is a very good restaurant. Parker and I had our first date there. They make this absolutely delicious gelatin dessert. </i><br />
Somali: <i>Is Parker your husband?</i><br />
Ember: <i>No. We are dating and in a committed relationship.</i><br />
Somali: <i> Okay. Well, maybe if you and he have time, we can go to dinner together. My husband doesn't know very many people in this area either, other than those with whom he works.</i><br />
Ember: <i>I like that. We can definitely do that.</i><br />
<br />

The ladies chat a little longer and, after finishing their dessert, decide it's time to leave. Somali dresses Azure in her snowsuit to get ready to go back out in the cold.<br />

Ember: <i>That is such a cute snowsuit.</i><br />
Somali: <i>Thank you. I had to order it online and get it shipped here fast. We are not used to this cold weather and I haven't had time to find a baby clothing store yet. I like for her to look pretty. </i><br />
Ember: <i>I just so happen to know of a boutique baby store called, In Style Baby. They do specialize in more neutral baby items, but for clothing, they do have more gender specific items. Very cute baby clothes. My friend, Avery, who also happens to be Parker's sister, recently had a baby and she shops there. They do have a website as well.</i><br />
Somali: <i>I'll have to check it out. Thank you.</i><br />

She's been getting lots more requests for her services since the new year rolled in. That means her profits, business and income will grow exponentially this year. She's happy about that. It also means she can continue to use Carly's talent more. <br />
<br />
With so much work coming in, she will need more assistance. So she is actively looking for a new administrative assistant so Carly can officially be promoted to a Junior Designer position. She may even need to move to a bigger office space later in the year. But, of course, she will wait until she is sure about the contracts and has the money to get another office. <br />

Parker: <i>Hi, Henna. </i><br />
Henna: <i>Hi, Parker. I'm glad you're here. I need to set up some time to review some of these quotes with you.</i><br />
Parker: <i>Okay. Good. You're really getting lots of business, huh?</i><br />
Henna: <i>WE are getting lots of business. I need to know if you're going to be able to handle most or I need to give more to one of the other contractors. You're still my main and most reliable, so I'm giving you first choice.</i><br />

Parker (feeling his cheeks get instantly hot because he hadn't realized what he was letting slip): <i>I can't see myself without her...and I feel like Erwyn is my daughter now too. So...</i><br />
Henna (letting out a huge squeal): <i>Yes! Yes! Yes!</i><br />
<i></i><br />
Henna is happy Ember has found a man who loves her and her daughter, Erwyn. <br />

Henna: <i>Now the ring has to be perfect. Do you need help ring shopping?</i><br />
Parker: <i>I don't know. I thought about taking my sister, but I don't know if she will be able to contain herself. </i><br />
Henna: <i>I don't know if I can contain myself either, but I will figure it out. I'm so excited and happy right now. When? When are you proposing?</i><br />
Parker: <i>I still need to work it out. </i><br />

Henna: <i>Wait, are you going to buy the house without her? I don't think that's a great move if you have the chance to have her input.</i><br />
Parker: <i>I thought she'd like a surprise.</i><br />
Henna: <i>Mmm...I think you propose first, house shop after. It's for the best. I'm a woman who knows lots of women. You need her to love it too.</i><br />
Parker: <i>Okay. I'll wait, but I still want to keep an eye open for opportunities.</i><br />
Henna: <i>That works. So, let me know if you want me to ring shop with you. I'm in. I hope you both choose wedding colors I'll look wonderful in. </i><br />

Parker (laughing): <i>I appreciate all of your help.</i><br />
Henna: <i>Sure, BIL.</i><br />
Parker: <i>Bill?</i><br />
Henna: <i>Brother-in-Law. Do you know how you'll propose?</i><br />
Parker: <i>I guess in the traditional way. Dinner and a proposal. I'm still working things out in my head. I just know I'm going to need a ring first. The rest will come.</i><br />
Henna: <i>Um. Hmmm...We can work on that. </i><br />
Parker: <i>Thank you. Well, I do need to get to the next job site, so can we set up the meeting and talk about the Franklin job before I head out?</i><br />
Henna: <i>Sure. Let me grab the file and get Carly.</i><br />
<i></i><br />
I would say it looks like there will be a wedding, but I don't want to jump the gun. Parker didn't even get a ring yet and Ember hasn't accepted. We'll see.<br />

Thanks for stopping by. ~ JayeJaye's Doll Spacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13409132062845348610noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2510050685344751681.post-75340959573322555532019-01-08T16:32:00.002-08:002019-01-08T16:32:18.991-08:00Lunch and BeggingIt's almost Thanksgiving and Cora, Parker's and Avery's mother, is in town for the holiday. She is visiting to see her new grandson (yes, it took her this long to get here because she is so busy), Cristian and have Thanksgiving dinner. She has rented out a very private room for dinner and asked that Avery, Craig, Aviana, and Cristian join her. She is also hoping she can find a way to have Parker come as well. <br />
<br />
Since she is in town and Ember previously agreed to do so, she is having lunch with Ember. Ember doesn't want to be in the middle of the issues and relationship Parker has with Cora. But she is also Avery's friend, so she knows she may be around Cora when she's there for Avery, so she wants to keep a cordial relationship with Cora.<br />
<br />
Cora and Ember are eating lunch and chatting, so far mostly about Ember's business, Cora's job and fashions. <br />

Cora: <i>And how are you able to keep up with all of the fashion changes? It must be a lot in your line of business.</i><br />
Ember: <i>It can be, but the fact that my models are going to shoots and I try to be there when I can, I can see what's going on. I take notes. Plus, my models like to tell me all about the fashions they've seen. and worn while working. So I don't miss much. I am also working on some things with a high fashion model and a designer. </i><br />
Cora: <i>That sounds like such fun.</i><br />
Ember: <i>It keeps things interesting and exciting.</i><br />

Cora: <i>I imagine running your own business and raising a child keeps you very busy. I don't know how you balance both.</i><br />
Ember: <i>I love being my own boss, but I love my daughter more, so I ensure I make time. Although, with more business, I think I'm ready for an assistant. I'm ready to start looking for a top notch administrative assistant who can possibly grow into some agent role as I expand. Although I was hopeful when I started, I wasn't sure how far I could expand. But now, with connections and partnerships I'm working on, several things are possible.</i><br />
Cora: <i>It sounds like it. I don't know that I could have gone as far as I am now if I had to focus on raising children.</i><br />

The food will be divine and I'm sure there will be enough for you to take food home and not cook for the next two days. The place I've picked is lovely and comfortable.

Cora: <i> What do you mean?</i><br />
Ember: <i>Would you go back and stay with your children and give up the career or at least delay it?</i><br />

Cora: <i> I don't know. I...How can I answer that? I just don't know. I can't go back now, I can only go forward. That's what I'm trying to do.</i><br />
Ember: <i>Perhaps, but would you have given it up and stayed?</i><br />
Cora (gives a nervous laugh): <i>Ember, I really don't know. I haven't thought about it. I just know I want my son to speak to me. I want to be a family now.</i><br />
Ember (takes a breath): <i>Yes, now that the hard part is done you have time and attention for your grown children, but you wouldn't go back and do the hard work to have the relationship you could have developed when they were small children. That is the problem and how you got here.</i><br />

Cora: <i>Excuse me?</i><br />
Ember: <i>Cora, I don't want to start an argument and, as I said before, I don't want to be involved with this issue. I just don't want to talk about this any longer. </i><br />
Cora: <i>I'm sorry. I just wanted to...</i><br />
Ember: <i>It's okay. I need to get going anyway. Let me just grab cash to leave for my lunch.</i><br />
Cora: <i>No, no, no. Lunch is on me. I'm glad you came. Please don't leave upset. I didn't mean to upset you. I'm sorry.</i><br />

Ember decides that lunch needs to end before it gets any worse, so she lays down her napkin, stands up and grabs her purse.<br />

Ember walks away. <br />
<br />
Sorry I'm late, but this story needed to be told. I plan to show some updates on what's been happening with some of the residents. As much as I'd like to narrow down and focus on a few main families or residents, it's so hard. But I'm hoping to stop buying dolls and focus on dioramas this year. Yes, I said the same thing last year, but this year I really need to because there are just too many untold stories and not enough places and settings available to tell them.<br />
<br />
Thank you for stopping by. ~ <i>Jaye</i>Jaye's Doll Spacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13409132062845348610noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2510050685344751681.post-69251293123602868452018-12-31T18:23:00.001-08:002018-12-31T18:23:37.122-08:00Ember's New Year's EveIt's New Year's Eve and Ember's mother, Fatima (who is visiting for the holidays), and sister, Henna, have stopped by to pick up Erwyn. Fatima is staying at Henna's until she goes home. Fatima is entertaining and spending time with Erwyn while she is there, so she can enjoy time with her grandchild. <br />

Fatima: <i>Are you sure you don't want to welcome in the new year with Erwyn and me? We have some good movies picked out and great snacks.</i><br />
Henna: <i>Thanks, Mom, but, no. I have a party to get to and some good looking men should be there. A sister has needs and it's been a long time. My girls are going to be waiting for me to get there. But I'm going to get a Scuber when I get back to the house and be sure I get one home. I'll leave the car keys in case you need to use them.</i><br />
Fatima: <i>Ha! Me drive on a New Year's Eve? No, not me. We'll have everything we need, but I appreciate it. </i><br />

Ember is in the bathroom checking herself before Parker arrives. She's waiting for Erwyn to throw some new dolls she got for Christmas into her already packed bag, so she can get going with her grandmother.<br />
<br />
Ember is happy she and Parker will have the house to themselves tonight. She gets Erwyn and her bag and heads down to get her own her way.<br />

Ember: <i>Her bag and coat are in the hallway. Don't overdo the snacks, I don't need any tummy issues tomorrow.</i><br />
Fatima: <i>It's okay. Grandmom will still be here to deal with any tummy issues, so you won't have to. </i> <i>Right, Erwyn?</i><br />
Erwyn: <i>Right! We're going to have a great New Year's, Grandmom!</i><br />
Fatima: <i>We sure are.</i><br />
Henna: <i>I'm starting to feel a little bad I'll miss it, with Grandmom taking care of tummy aches and all. But I'll see you in the morning. We can compare tummy aches and hangovers.</i><br />
Ember: <i>Really, Henna?</i><br />
Henna: <i>Yep, really. Shall we get going?</i><br />
<i></i><br />
Henna, Fatima and Erwyn kiss and hug Ember goodbye and they wish each other a Happy New Year.<br />

Ember works on cooking the simple and all in the oven dinner she planned for herself and Parker - baked mac and cheese, baked breaded chicken and baked dinner rolls. It smells absolutely delicious. Parker arrives just before she's ready to pull everything out. Timing is everything. He kicks off his shoes and goes into the kitchen with her and she takes the food out of the oven and sits each on the counter.<br />

Ember: <i>I love you. Maybe we should hurry up and finish dinner so you can show me how much you love me in all sorts of creative ways.</i><br />
Parker: <i>Oh, I have some ideas. They may even make dessert very interesting.</i><br />
Ember: <i>Sounds good to me.</i><br />
<i></i><br />
Well, I think it's time to leave these two alone. Not sure I want to know too much about dessert and creativity right now. But I do want to wish you all a very <span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">Happy New Year! </span><br />
<span style="color: red;"></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
We appreciate your taking time out of your day to read these stories and I hope to do some new and interesting things in 2019 (most of which requires not buying any more dolls because I cannot even keep up with the stories I already want to write, but I digress).<br />

So many options are available, single houses, townhouses, apartments, lofts. They moved to town a few months ago and want to see what's available which will fit their lifestyle. They just aren't sure, especially with a young child. Is a house with a yard better or do they pick a loft that more suits their tastes. Decisions, decisions.<br />
<br />
This evening they are getting ready for Christmas Eve dinner with family and some friends. Somali has Azure dressed. She's just waiting for Crain to get dressed to they can go. In the interim, she's double checking the diaper bag while Crain communicates from the bedroom.<br />

Azure doesn't seem to agree and then decides to start crying. She is tired of being in the chair. Somali grabs the pacifier she was going to pack back in the diaper bag and gives it to her. Then Crain comes to the living room, partially dressed.<br />

Crain: <i>Mali, are you sure this pink belt looks good? I don't know if it goes with these purple pants. It kind of stands out, don't you think?</i><br />
Somali: <i>It stands out, just like you, Baby. It looks great on you.</i><br />
Crain: <i>Of course you think so, you bought it.</i><br />
Somali: <i> I'm a stylist, Dear. I know what I'm talking about. Just rock it with confidence. Watch all the compliments you get.</i><br />
Crain: <i>Instead of laughs? </i><br />
Somali (refusing to dignify his comment) : <i>I know what I'm talking about and you are taking too long to get dressed. Can you just put on your clothes already? Zu Zu is getting cranky. The car ride should make her feel better.</i><br />
Crain:<i> Okay.</i><br />
<b></b><i></i><i></i><br />
Crain heads back to the bedroom to finish getting dressed. Somali finishes putting the last items in the diaper bag, then she picks up Azure.<br />

Somali: <i>Well, ZuZu, let's get some shoes on you while we wait. You look so pretty today. Yes, you do. Yes, you do. Mommy's little baby girl. I love you.</i><br />
<i></i><br />
After giving Azure some kisses and hugs and getting her shoes on, Somali calls to Crain.<br />
<br />
Somali: <i>Crain, can you being me a coat and grab one of ZuZu's buntings? It's very cold outside.</i><br />
<i></i><br />
Crain is dressed, and comes back to the room with choices for outerwear.<br />

Crain: <i>Which ones do you want? I brought white and pinks?</i><br />
<i>Somali: Good question. Both are nice.</i><br />

It gives that White Christmas feeling. The pink says, I am female, I am soft and gentle, so princessy and stuff.</i><br />
<i>Somali: The white does say crisp and clean, but I don't think pink says princess. Remember, YOU are wearing a pink belt. Do you feel like a princess?</i><br />
<i>Crain: Nope. So what will it be?</i><br />
<i>Somali: Pink and we'll match.</i><br />
<i>Crain: This pink bunting isn't closed completely at the bottom like the white one.</i> Won't Zu be cold?<br />
Somali: <i>That's why have this heavy blanket. She'll be very warm.</i><br />
<i></i><br />
They get their coats on and head out to dinner.<br />

Aren't they a lovely family? I love all of my couples, but they are just really making want to write about them. Which is crazy because at first glance at the Rock Climber doll, I wasn't so thrilled. Who knew a little thing like giving her different lipstick and some eyeshadow would make me fall in love with her? <br />
<br />
So, I think Jun just gave up any hope of an apartment. At least in 2019. I've decided that the items I started getting ready for him, may now belong to the them. Sorry Jun. It fits their style too with some adjustments. Plus at least one other couple is getting a house. Now, I'm not telling who. You'll see in the stories...eventually. LOL!<br />

I've been so busy lately. I can't wait until that dies down. I guess it also doesn't help that I get so distracted with a thousand other doll activities at the same time. <br />
<br />
Fortunately for this shoot, I was able to get help from another designer, Ms. Mandee, at Crafts by Mandee on Etsy. She made the skirts and the headbands for the ladies. She's very talented and I have several items from her for the big girls and the smallest too. <br />
<br />
Now that I've said all of that, let's get on with the photos.<br />

She can't stay long, but they have been chatting for a while and she'll need to leave soon. Ember is enjoying holding Cristian.<br />
<br />
Since Avery is home all day with the children and Ember is visiting, Craig is bathing Aviana to get her ready for bed. <br />

Avery: <i>Before I forget, what time will you guys stop by for gift exchange Christmas Eve?</i><br />
Ember: <i>We'll be here early, around 2:00. Is that okay?</i><br />
Avery: <i>Yes, that's great. I'll have some light food ready and drinks. I'm going to try something off Pinterest that looks delicious. I'm pumping like crazy so I'll have enough saved up to enjoy a drink.</i><br />
Ember (laughing): <i>Good. How much longer are you nursing?</i><br />
Avery: <i>Just two to three more months, maybe. I love that he's getting the nutrients, but I want to be free again. I'm hanging in there.</i><br />
Ember: <i> It will be over and it will seem like ancient history. </i><br />

Avery: <i> Yes, he's getting bigger. That's why we really need a bigger place. I also want room for a nice Christmas tree. I hate that we can't decorate like I'd like to. So we'll be looking. </i><br />
Ember: <i>I understand. I love my townhouse and though I have multiple rooms, they are pretty small. So, now that my business is doing well, I think I can upgrade.</i><br />
Avery: <i>Really?</i><br />
Ember: <i>Yes, I'd like a larger bedroom with a larger closet, and a larger living room or a great room. A larger office because I'd like to grow my staff. I'm not sure I'd like to rent space. I'm giving things some thought.</i><br />
Avery: <i>What does Parker think? I mean, I was thinking you would, well, never mind. </i><br />
<br />
Aviana walks out of the bathroom followed by her father. She needs to get her pajamas on and get in bed, but she wants to talk to Ember.<br />

Aviana: <i>Hi, Auntie Embeh. Awe you stayin' for a while? Do you know it's almost Chwistmas? Time for pwesents. </i><br />
Ember: <i>Hey, Honey. Yes, I know it's almost time. I'm sure you'll get lots of nice things. </i><br />
Avery: <i>Avi, I know you want to talk, but you know it's bed time. You can say good night to Auntie Ember and then go get something on. You cannot walk around naked.</i><br />
Aviana: <i> I'm not neked. I have a wobe on.</i><br />

Ember (barely able to contain her need to laugh): I know, Baby, but that's only when I've babysat you. It's bedtime and close to Christmas, so you have to be good, right.<br />
Aviana: Wight!<br />
Ember: So can I have a kiss good night and then you be a good girl and listen to Mommy. It's bedtime and I can see you are tired. <br />
Aviana (hesitating because she's not sure if she's tired, but Auntie Ember must know): Okay.<br />
<br />
Craig, who has just been listening, picks Aviana up and helps her give Ember a kiss since she's holding the baby. Then he heads to Aviana's room to get her dressed and into bed.<br />

Avery: <i>Thank you. She's a handful sometimes.</i><br />
Ember: <i>No problem. When is your mother arriving, by the way? I got a text from her about lunch this week since she's in town. I was hoping she would change her mind, but I guess she has not.</i><br />
Avery: <i>I know. Just answer what you want to answer and tell her when she's overstepping. </i> <br />
Ember: <i>I will. I don't have a choice. We'll see. I'm sure it will be fine. </i><br />

Ember: <i>So, I need to get going so my sitter can head home. I'll be home for the next few days with Erwyn, which is great. I need to go to Henna's Sunday for dinner. My mother comes in tomorrow, but plans to go straight to shopping as usual. That means scooping up Erwyn and heading to New York with Sy. Parker and I will knock out shopping he needs to complete. It's a busy day tomorrow.</i><br />
Avery: <i>Okay. I'm going to try to get this little boy to sleep so I can settle down too</i>.<br />
<br />
After Ember leaves, Avery stays in the living room a little longer with Cristian to see if she can get him to sleep. Craig has retired to the bedroom to watch television and rest.<br />

Avery: <i>Are you close to being tired yet, Little One? Mommy is ready to call it a night.</i><br />
<br />
Cristian gives her a little smile as if he knows what she wants, but is not quite ready to give in to sleep.<br />

Avery decides to hold him close and rock him to sleep.<br />
<br />
So that's it for the evening at the Hamilton's.<br />
<br />
On another note, after months of waiting, three new guys have arrived. They have not been given names or lives yet, but I'm sure it won't be long before they are out and about. I'm hoping to have public places and restaurant up in 2019. More places, more space for more stories.<br />
<br />
Here are the guys from the Fresh Squad Line<br />
<br />

Their Fresh Squad identifiers are (L-R): Anthony, Daniel and Malik. Daniel is a good body match for a few of the Mattel guys, so I bought another one to finally give a head a body around here. The are truly good looking guys with articulated bodies and they stand on their own, a huge win in my book. They are huskier than a Ken doll, which is just fine because the Power Team guys are quite muscular, so I'm sure they can all share the same clothes.<br />

No talking, just photos. The ladies have not been joined by a fourth as we were hoping. Which I guess is okay anyway since I originally planned for three and ordered some items accordingly. <br />
<br />
So without further ado, here are the photos...<br />
