Today I'm working on a little purple witch costume for Lonnie. I made the witch hat and pirate hat yesterday. My living room is piled high with boxes of satins, brocades, tricot, and ribbons, all of which needs to be cleaned up tonight before my grandchildren come over tomorrow. I'm making two little Hallowe'en costumes from scratch, and the others will have to use existing outfits this year. I figure if each year I make a few brand new ones, everyone will eventually have a Hallowe'en costume. Of course, that's assuming I don't get any more new dolls!
The package with boots from Mimiwoo arrived yesterday. Poor Owen, who has nothing at all to wear yet, quickly put on a pair to keep his feet warm, and he also donned the pirate hat I made. As a special treat, knowing my dolls are always forced to be historical or fantasy figures not in touch with the modern world, I ordered a Mini Mac Book. Owen was impressed. Who cares if he has nothing to wear, now he has a brand new computer to amuse himself with. Owen has the new Model body, and I have to say, that even in the bit of posing he did for this picture, he poses a lot better than Kyle who is on the old muscle body. I've not brought Owen and Bonnie to Charie yet, as she's crazy busy until the end of next week. So I figured I'd just hold onto them, and maybe Bonnie can even go Trick-or-Treating with her friends on Hallowe'en.

Well, I only plan on putting my little ones in Hallowe'en costumes, and I only have so many of those. Although......when Lisa becomes Basic, I don't think I'll be able to resist. And I understand IH is working on FOUR new BIDs.
