Happy July! Can you believe how fast 2022 is going? It feels like last week we were celebrating Christmas and, all of a sudden, here we are. Today it's time for another photo compilation that I've been doing at the beginning of every other month. There aren't many photos to share today, as I haven't been very active on Instagram and many of the photos I shared there I had already shared on the blog. 

Let's start with some extra photos that I took while working on the Workshop with Shasha post, but never made it to the final post. This photo of Shea is one of my favorites.  

I also took this photo of Chloe laying down, ready to get into the pool (that isn't there, I just pretend it is). I didn't include this one simply because she isn't wearing anything that we made in the workshop. Putting these two photos together on this posts just made me realized that both have very similar poses.

Keeping with the summer theme, I took a few more photos using the vertical garden and the pergola I made last year, even though you can barely see it in most of the photos. Because the vertical garden is quite small, it limits the photos I can take. However, I have plans to come up with something to expand the photo area and scene. 

I love this doll, but sometimes I find her hard to photograph. I took several photos of her, but this is the one I was the happiest with. The sculpt is stunning, I would love to see it again with a different face paint and in different skin tones. 

Last, but certainly not least, I took some interior photos using my usual props. These were taken right when I painted the "Boho painting", so I wanted to display it. I chose the light blue wall because it would add contrast to the painting, but it also has a summer vibe to it. 

This photo of Lea is based on a photo of Victoria I took back when I originally did the first painted artwork. Coincidentally, they're both holding the same painting, which I wasn't planning for. 

That's pretty much all I have to share today. Sorry this post came a bit later than usual, but I simply didn't realize it was already July. Currently, I'm working on a sofa cover I mentioned on my last post. I thought I had it ready, but it wasn't working, and I decided to start over. Later this month, Mr. Monster and I are going on a weekend trip to a rural town. If I have it ready before we leave, I will try to post about it. If not, my next post will be either late July or early August. 

We're halfway through the year, and I still haven't done most of the things I had planned out for this year. I'm trying to not be too hard on myself, because it was mostly due to unforeseen circumstances, and now the eczema (that is going away, thankfully). It's not the end of the world, but I have some ideas for doll photos, and I need new props for those. Seeing the bright side of this, it has given me some time to work on my sewing and practicing with the sewing machine. 

I hope you're all doing well and I'll see you as soon as possible.
