Victorian Boys

4/30/2026

While looking back at all the photos of my Victorian family over the years, it became clear that Eric was under represented. Maybe it was because he was always wearing a dressy sailor suit. But he also didn't seem to have any friends, other than his cousin Coco who would come for a visit now and then. So, I decided to remedy the situation.

I made a pair of tartan pants to go with an existing shirt and vest, then made two entirely new outfits. From the left; Elliot, Coco, Bordy....

I had originally planned on giving Eric one of the new outfits, but in the end I didn't feel like taking one of the new outfits from the other boys, thereby reducing his number of friends, so I needed to make yet another outfit...

In the end, I decided that Eric would get the outfit Coco was wearing, since he was from quite an affluent family,

and I made a new outfit for Coco...

So Eric finally had a group of friends to go out and do some fun things with...

Matias was on his way to meet up with the Elf King's army....heading through yet another blue meadow....

But they weren't at the usual meeting place.

He came across Larry and Lily

"Good day Sir and Madam."

"Have you by any chance seen the King and his army? I was supposed to meet up with them here."

"Yes. They were here, but they moved on about an hour ago."

"They went that way."

"They can't have gotten far."

"Thank you."

And Matias rode off to join them.

the White Cat Sequel, part 1

4/22/2026

I had imagined what it might have been like after 'happily ever after' in the old French Fairy Tale La Chat Blanche, and came up with a sequel. But the story ended up so long that we decided to divide it into two parts, and publish each section as its own book. Part one is now waiting to be printed.

It's the story of Princess Kassia and Prince Adrian, after he had broken the spell where she and her court had been transformed into cats. They had married, but life didn't seem to the happily ever after either had dreamt of.

Adrian goes with a friend to pick up some new horses....leaving Kassia home alone with their cat...

Adrian and Kyle meet up with the horse trader....

When he returns home, Adrian is surprised to see the guards have all become cats...again.

Inside he finds Kassia struggling with her new feline personality....

The next morning Adrian wakes up a cat as well....

He sends the guards to fetch the Wizard in the hope that he can help...

The Wizard and Willie try to figure out why Adrian, Kassia, and their entire court are cats again...

But Kassia and Adrian aren't the only ones who have suddenly been transformed. One princess' three brothers are ravens again..

The frog prince is a frog again...

And everyone in Sleeping Beauty's castle is asleep again, except for the Prince and their two daughters...

Kassia and Adrian go on with their lives as cats, waiting for the Wizard to create a transformation formula....

Winston takes Willie to gather some magic mushrooms for a transformation potion...

At the castle, everyone is eager to take the potion....

It works on Kassia....but no one else....

So now they have to wait for the Fairy Court to hear their case and hopefully set things right, in part 2.

The story is told through 129 pages, with over 260 very colourful photos, and I can't wait to see it printed.
