Chainmail and Ice Cream Cones

September 22nd, is both Chainmail Day and National Ice Cream Cone Day, and we find Jamie and his little sister Bonnie, checking out a new shipment of chainmail that just arrived from the blacksmith....

"Wow! That's a lot of chainmail!"

"But, what's up with the empty ice cream cones?"

"Where's your ice cream?"

"It's Ice Cream CONE Day, not ice cream day."

"Oh...."

"And these waffle cones are great."

Bonnie let out a big sigh, wondering why guys were always so literal. "Well, your loss."

An Awkward Switch

October 14th was National Costume Swap Day, and Paige and Nami didn't really mind. After all, pants were rather liberating....

But David and Ringo weren't impressed....

"This is so weird!"

The girls did their best not to laugh....

"How can you stand wearing a dress like this all the time?"

"These long skirts are such a tripping hazard."

"And it's so draughty underneath!"

"We want our own clothes back!"

Two Little Medieval Girls

Even though the first three little Medieval dresses were made way back in 2013, and have been worn in countless stories over the years, there were no full length photos of two of them for an upcoming book. We needed them photographed outside in a garden setting, and with a frost warning threatening to put an end to my flowers, it was now or never. So I redressed Elin, put on my winter coat, and arrange some million bells.....

Then there was Nami, who has been a Princess, as part of the Royal family for the past few years. But there were no clear, full length photos of her, and we needed one of her as well.

Lisa and Faye

Still continuing to take photos for the costume book of any outfits I didn't have any full length portrait shots of. I needed some of the last two KID size Medieval gowns I made, which were Lisa's gown and Faye's birthday dress.

First Faye, who is Bianca and Yvette's little sister. I had made her a new gown of her own for her birthday.

And I needed a photo of Lisa, who just arrived last year, and finally had a dress of her own...

She is my very first, and only doll, in the Iplehouse Peach Gold resin colour.

I was surprised how pretty it was, but then it's the older, more translucent resin, before they changed the formula and everything went opaque matte.

And we needed a close up photo of the two of them with Paige in her blue dress..

I've never been all that happy with Faye, and had wondered if maybe a different wig would help. So I had ordered a blonde Monique 'Lovely' wig from Facets Boutique. I tried it on Faye...
