The Dressing of Dolls

There are some particular dolls I like called Ellowyne Wilde.  (These dolls are in the Wilde Imagination series, which is a division of Tonner.)  The Ellowyne dolls are beautiful, and so are their clothes, but the only problem is that the clothing is terribly expensive.  The dolls are, too, but I got all mine on sale for good prices.  If I could, I would get the outfits on sale, but they never go on sale.  Well, some do go on the End of Edition sale, but the prices are still ridiculously high.  So Mother and I decided to buy some patterns and make clothing for them:

Most of the clothing was made with Tyler Wentworth patterns.  The three long dresses and the plaid dress were made with the free "Robe Soleil" pattern by MHD Designs and all the T-shirts were made using the two free patterns from Liberty Jane.  I think that everything is just as good as the Ellowyne clothing one can buy for 100 dollars.  Mother is a bit more critical, but she knows I think they're practically perfect, and that makes her happy.

Lovely Little Chicks

About a week ago, Mother and I went to the farm store to buy four black sex-links to add to our jolly bunch of chickens.  They're eleven-days-old already, and they have grown a good deal, but they are still so small and cute.  They live in my room where it's warm and there is Scarlet's light, and I have named all of them and can tell them apart without trouble now.  At first it was a bit difficult, but they each have markings by which I identify them.

This is what they looked like several days ago. 

The top left chick is Little Lady.  I named her that because she was the largest and the clumsiest.  She is the same size as the others and quite graceful now.

The chick below Lady is The Adventurer, because what is chick without a Rainbowlandian name?  Certainly not a Rainbowlandian chick!

The chick across from Lady is No Name.  She was the last to (not) be named, so I called her No Name and now that's her name.

The final chick, the one across from The Adventurer, is Vespera.  She is a very special chick: very special indeed.
