Happy Halloween from Paul and Babe

Happy Halloween!! πŸ˜ŠπŸŽƒ Greetings from Gus, and a friendly “Mooooooo” from Lucian! 😜
The cousins are dressed up as the classic American folkloric characters: Paul Bunyan, and his loyal blue ox, Babe. Swipe to see some vintage illustrations of those tall-tale heroes. πŸ˜„πŸ‚πŸ§ŠπŸͺ΅πŸͺ“πŸŒ²

 
Happy Halloween from Paul Bunyan (Gus), and Babe (Lucian), the loyal blue ox!! πŸ˜„πŸŽƒ
Lucian has been having a blast, whisking his cousin with his oxtail, whenever he least expects it. πŸ€ͺ

Costume Shopping

Gus is heading out on a quest to find a pair of suspenders, to complete his Halloween costume. Lucian already has his costume together. It’s something big and blue. Any guesses who they will be? πŸ˜„πŸ‚πŸŒ²πŸͺ΅

Perusing Dollslife Magazine

 Gus is perusing his digital copy of #dollslifemagazine. I think this quarterly publication is such a great way to look back at the last few months of miniature events and parties, and I also always learn something new from it, about the doll community, or the wider world!! 😊
A huge Thank You to @adrian.dollslife, for crafting this lovely gift for #dollstagram, every season!! πŸ“–✨❄️🌸🌻🍁

I made this sweater from a sock, using my bulkey sweater sewing pattern (available at the Tiny Apparel Etsy shop). 🧡πŸͺ‘πŸ“

Grigio Perla 007 Swim Trunks

It’s fall, but cold water doesn’t bother a good model. πŸ˜† Lucian is splashing in swimwear inspired by the iconic two-tone GrigioPerla trunks, worn by Daniel Craig, in Casino Royale (scroll to see the inspo).

@xenobia219 has created a James Bond themed Facebook pop up shop, running until November 11th, called “007 at 60 in One Sixth Scale.” It includes these trunks and other items as well. Check out her IG page for more info. 😊

Catching up on Projects

Gus is looking at the ol’ Tiny Apparel notebook, seeing what projects I need to be catching up on! πŸ€”πŸ˜…πŸ§΅πŸͺ‘

I’m very pleased to report, my shoulder that was dislocated is feeling a lot better now. I really appreciate all the kind messages and well-wishes so many of you sent me last week. They mean a lot to me, and really cheered me up through that pretty darn uncomfortable first week of recovery. πŸ’™
