As an eastbound UP freight passes Hood River, old #18 stands guard in the Mount Hood Railway yard. As much as I love to see GE's newest products on UP's steel highway, it will never come close to the level of class the 2-8-0 consolidation has. Steam is, and always will be, the king of the steel road.
The set up application automatically starts when you first use the phone. It helps you transfer settings from your old phone and customise the 5730 (ringtones, Bluetooth name etc.).
Didn't get a before picture unfortunately but it said "Angel" in old english along the lower part of the roses. She sat like a champ.

Here’s my Savers finds cleaned up. Gi Clone, Midge and Blaine got the bodies. Blaine got an arm transplant so he has proportional hands and yea.
I boiled Malibu Repro so her head is less squished and put her on my other repro body but I’m debating on putting her on a jointed body cuz her head can accept modern neck systems well.
Dana got boiled too and her head is severely less warped now and I made her hair less tangled but it’s still super thick and big. Her bangs are rooted in a triangular pattern so I can’t just boil them to lay flat or outright remove them without rerooting.
I love the extra details on her eye make-up. And the lipstick makes her look more mature than Mizuki. The only thing which bothers me a little is that I find her eyelashes tooo long. Wondering if she would look better with no lashes. Mmmm
This guy was certainly an interesting commission for me. He arrived with a dye job gone wrong so I sanded him fully to be able to re-dye him.
I had never dyed a doll before, so it was an interesting challenge for me. It turned out a bit blotchy and streaky, but the client is happy with the work as he looks better than when he arrived.
I don't think I'll be offering dyeing as a service in my shop, but it was a good learning experience for me!
The face up was challenging to do as well as my black paint didn't want to show up properly on him. I swear he has painted eyelashes!!
My take of the Bridge to Nowhere in Belhaven East Lothian; I am so curious of the view the paraglider had from up there.
Volkswagen has presented several up! concept cars at the 2011 IAA, but this is the one you can order at your local VW dealer.
And we wrapped up our Jaipur India Projects on Friday. It was emotional because leaving is always the hardest part but these women and girls are in good hands with Hasmik Ghalechyan and Adv Aplav Saxena
Our combined efforts have raised over $1000 from our family and friends with $845 of that coming from the DivaGirl members and supporters and more donations are coming in from Cathie Berrey and Elisa De La Torre.
With these contributions, we were able to gift 3 sewing machines to Naya Sawera women’s self help group:
- 8-10 underwear each
- one pack of pads each
- 3 sewing machines
- fabrics
- groceries each day
- 2 underwear for each girl
- pads
- toys
- art supplies
- self care packs for the Blind School for Girls (lotion, face wash, pads, lip balm, oil, chocolate)
- snacks and chocolates for the kids
- so much more. Volunteering Abroad is NOT for everyone.
Culture shock is real and you need to keep an open mind when you are volunteering abroad because your culture will be very different from the culture of the country you’re visiting.
You are not there to change their culture, “make it better”, or even solve their problems.
You are there to let them know that they matter despite the harsh circumstances they’re in in life.
You are there giving your time and energy because they are valued in a place where it can be hopeless.
We are NOT their saviors.
We ask them for what they need and they needed underwear, sanitary pads, self worth (in a patriarchal country), self esteem boost, a sustainable way of living (3 sewing machines and fabrics) and to have a little bit of fun!
You are there to connect and let them feel seen, heard and validated, because as my new young friend from India, Shanaya, said, “It doesn’t matter what country you’re from, what language you speak, what color of skin you have, or what religion you practice, you can always find similarities and build connection”.
I am grateful for our host family Hasmik Ghalechyan and Adv Aplav Saxena for your dedication in meeting the needs of the communities you serve and for allowing me, Elisa De La Torre and Cathie Berrey to be part of your amazing projects.
Thank you to our interpreters and young local college coordinators, Priyanshi Agarwal, Shanaya and Pranjal for looking after us and taking good care of us as we navigate the slums of Jaipur.
To Laura Furtado for planning this trip for us with A Broader View Volunteers
To my fellow volunteers Cathie and Elisa, thanks for sharing this amazing experience with me. This is not easy work but it is fulfilling work.
