I finished Eden's outfit yesterday, just as we were experiencing the first snowfall of the season...

The girls were enjoying playing with all the old classic games...

Yesterday I inserted another 47 tiny studs, so now there's 'only' a hundred more to go.  Since I can't work on studs non-stop, I started his cloak, and made him a belt yesterday....

The only trim I had that looked good on the edge of his cloak was a wider woven band, so I ran a line of FrayCheck down the middle, and after it dried I cut it in half down the middle.  Now I need to wash the cloak to get any sizing out, and put it on him wet so I can see how it distorts and gets longer along the bias, which always happens when one cuts a semi-circular cloak or skirt.  Then I have to trim the bottom edge so it hangs straight.

​I used the very last large buckle that I had, and it didn't have a prong, so I made the belt long enough so it can tie beyond the buckle.

In addition to all the rest of the studs (all on the back) he still needs a 'purse' on his belt, some leather wrist guards, studded leather strips for the tops of his boots, and then a bow and a quiver full of arrows.  I do have a spare bow, but it's not nearly big enough - plus his hand is too big for the opening in the grip - which means I actually have to make a new one.  And because I don't much enjoy working with Apoxie, it could get put off for a while.

In other news, there was a shipping notice from Iplehouse this morning, so KID Faye and BID Judith are on their way.  Both are Normal resin with IH faceups. I ordered them to be little sisters for Yvette and Bianca, and I do have spare Medieval/Fantasy dresses in both their sizes, so at least I don't have to make them anything when they arrive.  At least not until they decide they want to become friends with the contemporary kids.  But Little Lenny is also on her way, and she doesn't have a thing her size, so she will have priority.

Hope brought out a pile of games to keep her friends amused....

Cinnamon had already helped herself to Simon...

In the rainforest...

I had been really looking forward to taking fairy photos with the mushrooms in the rain forest of Vancouver Island, but due to circumstances had to rush in a very limited time frame, and this was the only photo that didn't end up too blurry.
