Dolls and Droids

My two new favourite toys.  First up, meet Pippi Longstockings: The Adult Years.  Yes, this is a grown up Pippi Longstockings, for sure.  This Pippi still loves high seas and high-jinks, but she is also content to stay at home and do a spot of knitting when the days are cooler.  She shops vintage and favours Green tea with a dash of lemon.  I think she would quite like a boyfriend (hint hint, Dee), but she is content to be a solo lass for now.  Pippi has a secret other life that includes a few golden adventures of her own, but I wouldn't know much about that, it being secret and all.  Oh, and she's not letting poor eyesight stop her either, bespectacled ladies (and gents) unite! She gained spectacles after a wee eyebrow mishap.  I hereby predict that she will become 'mama' doll to a certain little one.

Second new favourite toy, Polodroid!  Um, wow.  This is the most fun application I have ever had the delight of discovering.  I needed something like this for an idea I'm working on.  I just didn't expect it to be so much fun!  Almost as fun as the real thing.  Almost.  Granted the images don't have exactly the same quality as a real poloroid, but they do a better job than Picnik anyway.

As you can see, Eleanor's been doing some drawing too.  Hard to say whether she has an artistic bent just yet.
