SOME CUTE BABY GIRL 'MONKEY' CLOTHES

so, because ive committed to making sure that i represent with every baby that i sell, either by having the baby BE a monkey (my primary interest) or having clothing thats inspired by monkeys, or having an accessory thats a monkey..ive been looking for GIRL clothes with monkeys on them.

my reasons for representing the primate population is so i can donate proceeds from every sale to primate preservation.
so, i want to make sure im representing primates (monkeys and apes) in some form or fashion with every baby that i sell.

im finding, the market is less inspired for baby girls, although there IS clothes, theres not as much as looking through boys , which seem to have tons.

im thinking, ill probably be making more boys, lol. NOT! ill go as i feel the baby inspires me to do so.
heck, EMMAS not committed to HAVING to be a female...shes not got anything in her head or limbs that require me to make her a girl, she COULD be a boy...if i went that direction. i havnt seen anyone make emma into a boy yet, though.

anyway, back to my subject.

i was online looking for baby clothes, primarily Preemie baby girl clothes that have monkeys on them.

seems CARTERS (the same comapny that i have the blog about the preemie baby boy outfit i bought) has the market on baby girl preemie 'monkey' clothes.

heres a few examples:

 this set has 3-4 different outfits in it, so for the money its an excellent deal.

if you look close you can see a monkey is in the mix of animals on the chest.

a fleece sleeper, with monkeys (in close up image of fabric) print.

emma COULD be made into a boy.

emma as a blank.

i guess if i made emma into a boy id have to name her EMMET? whats the male name for emma anyway? i wonder if there is one.

looked online found this:

Emmett

Male Variant of Emma; a Premedieval Girl's Given Name

male

English

so, EMMET is the Male version of the name EMMA

so, i guess i could name him (if i make emma into a boy) Adam-Emmet. except thats not the nae of the kit, id better stick with my original idea. and make Emma a girl, so i can keep that idea.

BOUGHT THE DENISE PRATT - EMMA REBORN KIT From www.BOUNTIFULBABY.com

The EMMA KIT, reborn by Chelles babies. NOT MY WORK.

DENISE PRATT KIT: EMMA artfully done by: Chelles Babies.

EMMA KIT-HEAD

so, i went to go see if emma and byron were still listed on Bountifulbaby.com, and saw that the sellout for EMMA was at a HIGH...means there are very few kits available.

Byron, has never had that note as long as i have been watching him.

so, i told craig. i NEVER see emma listed, it was  a coincidence (if you believe in that kinda thing) that she happened to be listed at the time of craigs paycheck.

so i said. shell sell out and i dont have any idea when shell be back in stock.
i reminded him, my original plan was to get 2 byrons, and discussed with him the option to swap one out and just have one byron and an emma..so i could get both of them...
and he asked if i would be ok in just getting emma, and waiting on byron.

IS HE KIDDING?!?!?!
SURE! shes gonna be gone sooner than the next paycheck...if hell let me get her, then i say..GO FOR IT!
so, he did.
he let me buy her.

hes a good husband. hes a REALLY good hubby. lets me endulge, often in my artistic endevours (as long as the pay stub will allow) and puts his own things on the back burner to allow me to be happy...cant really ask for more than a good husband who wants too see his wife happy.

and maybe ill be good enough at this to get some cash flow in the home, and do something i like doing. well see.
my mainc-depression, bi-polarism often has me start projects, but rarely ever completing them, because i get bored so easily with the routine. im hoping this isnt the same thing. i could really make some good cash flow from this if i do really well at it.

im trying to break into this industry, and its gonna take some cash upfront (what doesnt , right? lol) to get started in this.
but if i have the kits, i can at least have them sitting, staring at me, yo try to make some cash flow off of.
emma, might be the 1st baby i actually sell.

i really dont have that much attachment to her. i mean, im not endered to her. she hasnt "touched" me in any way to make me want too keep her, so for the most part, ill take pics AS i work on her and  have her be my 1st baby ill sell and use her as a part of my PORTFOLIO of reborn babies i have done.

so, within a week, EMMA will be here at my house.

i guess id better figure out a name for her...lol

seems other reborn artists take a kit and make it into a reborn baby and then name it something else...

i should find a name that means 1st, or number one, or  something along those lines.

i just went to a baby naming site and punched in the meaning One, and FIRST and it lead me to ADAM, which made me think of EVE...

so, i think ill name EMMA, EVE
maybe even something like EVE-EMMA, or a derivitaive of them both that sounds good together.

looking online ive fund this:

EVE
Meaning- LIFE
Origin- HEBREW
From the Hebrew name Chava, which was derived from the Hebrew word Chai "life". In the Genesis, Eve was the first woman, wife of Adam and "the mother of all that lives". It is her role as a mother that is put forward in this name.
ALTERNATE NAMES MEANING THE SAME THING:
EVA
EVELYN
EVIE


EMMA (the kits name)
Meaning- ALL CONTAINING, UNIVERSAL
ORIGIN- GERMAN
Emma might be a form of Erma, a short form of various names which begin with the Germanic element Erm(en), Irm(en) which can mean 'strong' but is more literally translated as "whole" or "universal".
For some, it is a diminutive of Emmanuelle

im thinking EVELYN-EMMA sounds good.

and if i do that, all dolls would have the original kit name in them to represent the kit.
or i could do it as EMMA-EVIE..using the kit name as the first part of the name, to designate its original name.

would be easier to do it as a second name, less likelihood of confusion, because i can pick any other name as the 1st name, then designate the later name as the original kit name to make the distinguishing reference to it, (in the even anyone ever asks. "what kit was that?")

So, EVELYN-EMMA it will most likely be, then.

and my web page idea, will begin with her when she has been done.
shell also be a part of my personal bio on the page as the 1st kit i ever did.
if i sell her, id ask the patron take a picture of themselves with her to show how she will be taken care of  in her new home.

as part of my bio, as well.

i mean, she IS the 1st of many (i hope to come)

so i guess wre in the NEW PREGNANCY stage of this whole reborning thing right now.
we just got "pregnant" waiting for the time to go by enough to see  an "ultrasound" of her (the arrival of her kit)
and then as i work on her, he phases of gestation, until the moment she is completed and "REBORN". sure hope it doesnt take 9 months, lol

unless i keep her, because shes my 1st, im just a "surrogate mother" lol.
creating babies for others to adopt and love on.

GOT A FEW REPLIES FROM REBORN KIT MAKERS!

yes. i have. amazingly. people actually have responded back to me.
thats something!

Carol Knisley was the 1st to respond back.

Thank you for your kind comments. I think that you have identified all of the kits that have been produced from my work. There are no others in the making...I have never been in the kit business...These kits have been made by kit companies that purchased my original work. I prefer to sell my babies as OOAKs. Please take a look at my website for past and present babies.

i asked if it was ok to use her Kits on my webpage to which she replied with:

Sure that is fine! Thanks!!!

hows that?!?!?! pretty awesome in MY book, so thats a confirmed 'yes' to the use of images and giving credit to her on the web page..

MARITKA WINTERS was my next reply.

Chicklet

Teddi

Miracle

Sunshine

Sweet Stuff

Taylor

Wee Yawns

Zinny

Lovable

Huggable

Kissable

 her reply:

Hi Michelle,

You have all of mine plus an extra that is not mine. I have never done a kit called Miracle, but the rest are mine. Thanks so much! Best wishes with your new website – sounds great! ~ Marita

this as one reason i posted to these kit creators the names of the dolls...to insure that the site that houses all this info is in fact accurate, maintained by another humn, i expect some degree of error, to which i have already found...
Miracle, is someone elses design...

i also wrote Denise Pratts site/customer service and got a reply back about kits by her as well..

All of her 6 inch kits are being discontinued.  Currently, only two of her 6 inch kits are
remaining.  They are "Cutie", and "Precious", and can be seen at the bottom of this page:

    http://www.bountifulbaby.com/seaside/index/gallery

The missing 6 inch kit, not shown on that page, is "Sweetie".

Also, all of her 10 inch "pre-painted" kits have been discontinued.  They are Joanie, Jaydee, Colby,
and Carly.

There may also be two or three 10 inch kits not on that page that *might* get discontinued. 
Currently only "Bryon" is listed on that page, and Byron is definitely not scheduled to be
discontinued.  The other 10 inch kits, not listed, are: Emma, Claire, and Kiri.  They may or may not
end up being discontinued.  No decision has been made regarding those three.

Hope this helps!
