Today is Jan's 60th birthday, and he wanted to have a special tea party with our granddaughters. He asked them to come all dressed up in their finest dress-up clothes. He got out some fine china and set up a little table and chairs in a shady spot in the back garden. I took photos.... Now I have to prep for Saturday's big birthday beach party down by the lake. Everyone is coming, even our son from Vancouver. We are going to take our RV, so we'll have a much-needed washroom and change-room, and we'll have a fridge and freezer for the food. Gone are the days of lukewarm food cooking in the sun, or drinks bobbing in a cooler full of melted ice.
I don't think there will be any doll work until next week, except for processing a few more photos from the trip. I'd really like to complete the trip outfit sets, so they are complete ensembles and I don't have to cross-borrow from other outfits in the future. Then they are also all complete should I decide to sell any of them in the future. Then comes deciding what to start working on next. My Queen of the Night outfit has been on the back burner for so long I think it's finally time to address that. I keep changing my mind who it's going to be for, but I think I'm going to make it for a small-chest IH JID. It would then fit both Asa and Soa, and I'm thinking that when Asa needs to have her faceup redone, I may just ask for something slightly more dramatic. I had thought for the longest time that I'd be making Queen of the Night for my Butterfly Narae, but she's just too sweet and smiley for such a "strong" costume. She can have a similar costume in a lighter colour combination.

I love how Jan hosted a tea party and also how you done it up like a real party... I think that if you are invited to a tea party that it should be done up right and everyone dressed up too.. Tell Jan I think he is an awesome Grandpa
