Colours are lovely, to me.
They look very much like a dark haired Barbie and Ken, but are absolutely charming.
What an abdominal six pack

When I take photos of nature, I use my mobile, but was very pleasantly surprised to see how nice the custom made calendar with those photos turned out, which I oredered for my parents, for 2025.

They are half the size of Barbie and Ken, and they are anatomically correct.Colours are lovely, to me.

The young woman is finished. I gave her some tattoos, although they can be easily removed if I decide I don't like them. They are tiny stickers for fingernail art. She has a tiny, tiny peacock with tail fully fanned in the tramp stamp area.
I finished 1 boot for the guy. What do you think? Or should I do gladiator like sandals? Haven't got the new ribbon for his belt or the trim on his pants ordered yet, decided i don't like the royal blue. Used some chalk to change the color somewhat on the jacket trim. He's got an emerald cut sapphire medallion necklace drying.
Shelving units have lights now and I've got 1 hanging light fixture made, 1 started, and 2 more I'm trying to decide how to make them the way I have envisioned.

Turn his arm around if you can so his thumb is correct anatomically. Yes, I'm OCD,about that, comes from working with minis. You automatically look for the little things.

In addition to trying out new recipes and meal ideas, I also like to (try) to fix old retro laptops and the like.

Maybe! I picked up 400 of them a couple of years ago (and purchased a lot more at bargain prices on eBay too) so need to finish tinkering with those first! Most are between 20 and 30 years old.Can you fix mine?
I think it's retro by now
What do you do with them when fixed? 400 is a lot of computers! And gosh, where on earth do you keep them all?

If they are Compaq laptops then I add them to my Retro Computing Collection - if not, then I sell them on eBay. So far I have sold 1
I had the opportunity of a lifetime around 4 years ago to buy 400ish laptops that (after negotiating a discount) cost an average of 86pence each so at less than £1 it was a no brainer! I plugged each one in and if it showed any sign of life it went in to one pile, if not I stripped it for spares. I ended up with 300ish laptops that showed a sign of life. I have since purchased just over 100 more on eBay, hence having around 400 of them still.
With regards to storage, I have a spare bedroom upstairs that I have installed garage racking in. I then have some more racking on my landing and at the top of my stairs! They are grouped together by brand.
Despite being well over at least 20 years away from retirement (unless I win the lottery of course) I'm planning ahead for my retirement and these laptops are to keep me busy and my brain active. I wasnt planning on having so many but at £76 per 100 I couldn
t believe my luck! Oh and I've just remembered I have some hidden in the cupboard under the stairs and some in my front room in Really Useful Boxes...
