<i><span style="color: #0b0119;"><br /></span></i>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">4 years have passed since my last post here...4 years...</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">4 years of being so busy commuting to London that I completely neglected what was once a great source of fun and creativity.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">You probably think I am being dramatic but to be honest, working in London is quite an adventure but it has a price to pay: your energy, time and money. I</span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">f like me you have to commute 2 solid hours each way well you probably get the idea...</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">With no surprise</span>, <span style="color: #3d85c6;">as a result<span style="color: #3d85c6;"> , I had too li</span></span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">ttle time to be creative . So I opened an Instagram account about 3 years ago. I found it easy to let burst the creative flow. </span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">You can find my account if you click </span><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.thepictaram.club/instagram/papillonbleuuk" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e69138;">here</span></a><span style="color: #3d85c6;"> . </span></b><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: small;">Unless you are actually visiting from there and I do thank you for popping on the blog. Merci!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">I worked for over a year in Oxford Street in a big department store (hated it) and spent over 2 years in the mesmerizing Burlington Arcade where I was managing a beautiful little boutique. What a difference it made! I learnt so much there and felt very privileged to be in such a historical and beautiful environment each day but sadly, the little shop had to go under major changes and this is when I decided to take a break from travelling to London on a full time basis. </span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">After a whole week of no commute, I can tell the difference and I feel more relaxed and sleep incredibly well. PHEW!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b0119;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">There are many photos of Burlington Arcade on my Instagram account but I will share one of my favourite ones here. It was taken when the Christmas lights were lit . You can easily understand why it was always uplifting to start a day of work there.</span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6;">If you want to know, I never entirely stopped doll making and you can still find my little creations at Benjamin Pollock's Toyshop in Covent Garden from time to time . I simply had less time making dolls. Things almost came to a halt for 2 years but I ca</span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">rried on making some litte hands one day or sewing a mini dress another time. Sometimes I managed to complete a piece or two but was more focused on achieving more at Christmas. Below you can see Cerise. She is one of my latest creations. </span><br />

<br />
I hope you are all well.<br />
It is sweet to be gently going back to blogging and dolly world but most of all, it is an amazing feeling to be in touch with you all and to hear from you.<br />
I love this world where thanks to technology, kindred spirits can be united .<br />
We don't really feel isolated anymore, do we?<br />
<br />
Today I am going to show you a little video featuring Rose . Rose is a Blythe doll I have customized but I am still trying to find how to create a puppet for a stop motion project. Blythe dolls are a nice alternative to experience stop motion. Even though they are not very steady.<br />
<br />
<br />
Also, I have finished the video I was asked to make for M.S Production Sebastien Ragonneau so I hope you will enjoy the result.<br />
<br />
This is Rose<br />

<br />
To begin with , a big BIG thank you for your kind word and support on my last post.<br />
I try to visit everyone each time I can but I have to confess that since I have been Facebooking, blogging has suffered a lot.<br />
<br />
I am slowly getting back on the creative path with a lovely video project for a beautiful song. A little Pullip doll will come to life for the occasion but the process is very time consuming. I cannot wait to finish it and show you!<br />

My hands are not on a sculpting mode at the moment but my mind is buzzing with a new Blythe customisation project .<br />
<br />
The little doll arrived this morning and I cannot wait to start working on her. I have never customized a doll before. I usually create them from scratch as you know. In the meantime, I have had fun taking picture of this little Rose. I hope you will like her too.<br />

You know, sadly, some people have tried to crush me but you know what? My art will always be here to remind me of you I am. The REAL me. the one that my husband supports and that YOU seem to see. Whoever has a heart darkened with anger and their own unhappiness will always try to drag you down in their own misery.<br />
Fortunately , I have forged my own wings and have been able to fly away from all this and as long as I am loyal and true to who I am, whatever happens, I will fly.<br />
Never let anybody try to spill their dirt on you.<br />
Be strong.<br />
Remember who you are.<br />
Keep on smiling.<br />
Keep on creating.<br />
Keep on dreaming...<br />
... and you will remain invincible.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>Always.</i></span><br />

<br />
It has been such a long time since my last post.<br />
Every day things have been in the way of creativity once again and I cannot wait the moment when my mind will be so much at peace that my hands and soul will harmoniously be creating something I will be proud to present.<br />
<br />
The last 3 months have been paved with unpleasant events, unfairness, anger and grief. I do not wish to share everything but one of the toughest blow was when a lovely lady knocked at our door one early morning of October...holding our dear baby Harry in her arms...........dead.<br />

Not fair. Why him? Was it meant to be?<br />
<br />
I am proud to have been the cat mum of one of the most special, independent, daring, funny and adventurous cats I have ever met in my life. We have loved him to bits and because we loved him we accepted his constant craving for freedom and need of running in the wild each day.<br />
<br />
Now he is gone. Hit by a car.<br />
Such is life. Cruel and unfair...<br />

He is a God sent angel that craves cuddles and gives so much that each day is filled with endless tenderness.<br />
We feel blessed and even though Harry is in our thoughts each day, we enjoy every happy moment we share with this innocent and trusting little fluff ball.<br />
<br />
We have done our Christmas tree and are ready to celebrate.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
I hope you too enjoy every little positive moment that life has to offer.<br />
I hope 2014 will bring you joy.<br />
Do not hold back to the past.<br />
Move on.<br />
Never look back. fear not and have no regrets.<br />
<br />
I wish you all have a lovely Christmas and a Happy New Year.<br />

<br />
I hope you have all been fine since your last visit.<br />
<br />
Sorry for not being so much in touch but time flies and I haven't been doing much in dolly or mini world for a long time.<br />
The main reasons why I am not very productive at the moment are VERY good ones and I hope you will understand and be patient with me:<br />
<br />
To begin with, I have been on an intense weight loss program lately. I stick to super healthy food and work out 3 times per week at the gym. As a result , I have lost over 20 pounds in 3 months and I have to say I am really pleased as I was starting to put my health at risk with a bad diet and no exercise...but see by yourself!<br />

<br />
I have also been developing my new services as a nail Technician and Make up Artist which I truly enjoy and started a new part time job as a beauty consultant for a very exclusive brand which I love a lot as well.<br />
<br />
And am seriously starting to be obsessed with pictures like these:<br />

Will probably start moving on to a different style of makeup on my future dolls!</div>

But in the meantime, am enjoying doing makeovers "on real size dolls" and do their portraits:</div>

Anyway, it is sorted out now and I have no clue where to start to catch up!<br />
Errrrrrr...Merry Xmas, Happy New Year and Happy birthday (to me as well) !!! ( that's done!)<br />

Speaking of which...Harry is now turning 8 months! He is very adventurous, fearless and loves cuddles!<br />

Well, all in all, lots of new things have happened ans I have tried to keep this post short not to bore you.<br />
If you wish to send me a friend request on Facebook, it is not a problem at all and the best way to keep in touch if you wish to read about me moaning about the world and stuff. He!He!<br />

I realise that it has been ages since my last post.<br />
<br />
Sorry for having let you down.<br />
<br />
Just to keep you updated with the latest news relevant to this blog, well...things have been going at slow motion...super slow....so slow that it feels like I was suspended in time ...or lost in a twilight zone or something...<br />
<br />
Anyway..the new doll's room hasn't evolved much from the last time but I think it is going to go to a little girls' home pretty soon as she really wants it. So, the projects are a bit changed at the moment.<br />
<br />
There is a doll in the making ( she is already reserved), I am super slow at this too but am planning to make more pink ones shortly.<br />
<br />
There is still one available at Benjamin Pollock's Toyshop if you really cannot wait ( I would contact them first to make sure the doll is still available).<br />
<br />
But...the most important of all....is....I am super madly in love!<br />
His name is Harry and has been in my life for over a month now. I love him! I love him! I LOVE him!!!<br />
<br />
But, in order to understand, I have taken some photos of us together.<br />

Of course, he also has access to my imaginary world and seems to enjoy it very much.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One day, Harry chose to explore the dolls' house ( I knew this was going to happen!) .</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He made the acquaintance of the owners of the house.</div>

Now he is 13 weeks old and is starting to look like a "big" cat. I mean...he has lost his baby look.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes...a house extention for more photos, more stories and ...future dolls to present!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok, now I am scratching my head with this thought:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"what style should the house be?"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are so many possibilities.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
By the way, do you remember how it all started?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, this is it, with an old little wooden crate as you can see in this video made 2 years ago.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/AQu4yWJxLgs" width="480"></iframe><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since then, there has been 2 more rooms:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
An extra bedroom ( designed for the book <i><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0954590996/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&seller=" target="_blank">The Orphans of Sainte Cécile</a></i>) and the ParTEA room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The challenge for me is to adapt every object I find into a potential prop for a 1/6th scale dolls' house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I explained some time ago, I try to recreate the feel of some dolls' houses from the 19th century which didn't have the same aspect as the modern 1/12th scale.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, I would like to apologies to the lovely blog friends whose posts have been missed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It happens that I had to travel for my job at the same time as Aliénore's birthday blog event and things didn't really happen according to plan...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also noticed that for a very strange reason, the video I made for the occasion was never published at the time...<br />
So, here it is in case you didn't get a chance to see it.</div>

Aliénore and I are back from our trip in France .First of all, we would like to thank you for all the beautiful posts and the priceless gifts you have prepared especially for this little mistchievous doll.<br />
There are no words to describe how moved I was to see all the time you have all spent to celebrate the event. You are FANTASTIC people and I wish I could visit you all individually to spend some time with you and thank you properly.<br />
<br />
As I told you, my little cloth friend had no idea that she would cross the Channel for her birthday and what a surprise it was!We have brought back lots of pictures to share with you.<br />
<br />
First, Aliénore spent some time in Paris. It was raining a little, but we didn't care and were happily humming Singing in the Rain while walking on the loooooooong Boulevard Haussmann.<br />

You know?<br />
My sweet Aliénore has always wanted to be a Princess.<br />
I keep on telling her that to me she will <i>always</i> be one but...she looks at me and says<br />
" NO! I want to <i><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">live like one</span></i>!".<br />
Hmmm...<br />
So, for her 3rd birthday, I will be taking her to Paris<br />
and then we will be spending some time in this beautiful place.<br />
Aliénore doesn't know yet!<br />
Shhhhh...it is a suprise!</div>
