On Saturday we started working on the children's Medieval costumes. Even though the first three 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. We needed them photographed outside in a garden setting, and with a frost warning threatening to put an end to my flowers last night, it was yesterday or never. So I redressed Elin, put on my winter coat, and arrange some million bells.....
I have a LOT going on right now. In addition to processing trip photos, preparing more segments to the continuing story about Baron and Naomi and their twins, taking photos for special days and anything else that inspires me, plus working on Matias's costume, my sister and I continue to get together weekly to continue working on my Fantasy Fashions book. It's been in the works for months now, and each time we get together we tackle another section or two. On Saturday we started working on the children's Medieval costumes.

But there were no clear, full length photos of her, and we needed one of her as well. Thankfully, Jan brought most of my million bells into the garage last night, so they'd escape the frost to hopefully survive another week.

Yes, I am. And here I thought after our trip that things would slow down and I'd get some time to catch up. But no. Working on books is almost a full time job, as is taking doll photos and processing them, and then there's the costuming. Just when I think I'm almost caught up dressing my newest dolls, then I get more ideas. But I guess it's good to be busy.

Forgot to mention that both these little girls have just the cheapest acrylic eyes. That's what I started with way back with my first BJDs (which these are among). Later dolls were more inclined to get inexpensive glass eyes, but I didn't shy away from cheap acrylic if it was the right colour and looked good.
