Besides hosting the monthly VTDL meetup yesterday, I also worked a bit on dolls today. Honorine got wiring in her limbs, as well as a comfy outfit of pajamas and slippers.<\/p>\n

\"I<\/a>
I plan to make her a little nightcap too, and then she’ll be finished.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In other news, I acquired some seasonal props for next month’s Christmas\/holiday meetup of VTDL. At Big Lots yesterday I found sets of Christmas scarves and hats to put on wine bottles. It’s an odd concept, but I thought that the hats might fit dolls with heads of 6-7inch circumference. At the very least, I reasoned as I picked up two sets, the scarves would work for my 1:3 scale populations. Much to my delight, both scarves and<\/em> hats fit my bald 1:3ers [after I cut some of the lining from the hats].<\/p>\n

At Goodwill today I scored a ring of fake poinsettias, a teddy bear in winter garb [not shown], a plastic container saying MERRY CHRISTMAS WITH LOVE [not shown], and a small toy chest with MERRY CHRISTMAS on it. Selected items appear below.<\/p>\n

\""Merry<\/a>
“Merry frickin’ Christmas, ya schmucks.” Araminthe sports the faux poinsettia wreath, along with one of the decorative scarves for wine bottles and a distinctly non-joyous attitude.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\""Uh...you<\/a>
“Uh…you do<\/em> know that I’m more of a Halloween person than a Christmas person, right?” Thalia wears a wine-bottle hat and holds a Vermont Teddy Bear ornament.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\""Ooooohhh,<\/a>
Submit checks out the miniature toy chest. “Ooooohhh, new toys!”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Excitement<\/a>
Excitement is short-lived. “Whaddaya mean — they’re all stuck in the box?!”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
