Big adventures in a small world

From an adventure tale to a story of kinship

My Overhead/Up-Above/who-knows-what-else-I’ve-called-it has gone through its (hopefully) final change. Because I recognize that the treehouse/adventure angle just isn’t where the heat is, I’m going to redo it from the beginning (which I had to do anyway, due to all of… Continue Reading →

In the Pictures: Start of Summer (Redo)

These last two weeks I’ve been working on finishing up the first episode of In the Pictures – where the two sisters discover that one does not simply put a movie away, because it has a way of coming back…. Continue Reading →

Underfoot 03: The Doll Graveyard

Underfoot has gone through some changes since our last adventure. The two characters have new names and a new location. Meet Cosette and Mathilde and their adventures in France. Also, the new site is up at www.smalllifestories.com. Still in pretty… Continue Reading →

Overhead: First night in the treehouse

After building a rough platform in their last episode, Fern and Olive are finishing off the floor of the treehouse. Well, maybe Fern is doing most of the work. When it’s all done, they relax and admire their work. Then… Continue Reading →

My fashion dolls all have pretty similar posing abilities. The two dolls on the Barbie Made-to-Move bodies (Lily and Daisy) are easier to pose than the two dolls on Obitsu bodies (Camellia and Rosie), but they all pose in pretty… Continue Reading →

Back to the treehouse

While the Mia Fiarello team is making their way to Camellia, let’s check in with the treehouse sisters. When I started working again on this story, I realized how incredibly slapdash and haphazard I’d become about setting up for episodes… Continue Reading →

New eyes: Changing the look of a doll

I love the look of the Dollzone Gill doll. Unlike most of the 1/4th dolls, Gill is solidly a kid, although maybe a kid who’s prone to allergies and is always on the outer edges of the crowd. But, when… Continue Reading →

In the Picture: Endless summer

The start of summer finds two sisters luxuriating in their freedom. OK, maybe they’re the tiniest bit bored. By evening, they settle in to watch a little TV. Oh, great, it’s Night of the Living Dead. Hearing a sound at… Continue Reading →
