Happy Thanksgiving

 Two hungry cousins and a beagle, waiting for the roast to be done in the oven. 😋 Happy Thanksgiving!!
😀🍁🥧🦃🍂

 

Spa Day

Today, Gus is escaping the icy winter weather at @barbieblast59’s luxurious spa. Now he’s wrapped up in fluffy warm towels, with a mug of fragrant hot tea from the spa’s in-house cafe. Which way to the mineral pools?
🌿☕️🧖🏻‍♂️🌿
Thank you so much @barbieblast59 for hosting these awesome spa days! Gus is having a wonderfully relaxing time! 😊

Comfy and Cozy

 Today we’re having the first snowy day of the season! 🌨☃️ Gus is dressing for maximum coziness, in a turtleneck sweater, joggers, and an overcoat. Sewing patterns for all three are available in my Etsy shop. 😊🧵🪡

Happy Fall

When the novel is so good, you can’t put it down! 😆📚📖☕️

Happy Fall y’all! 🍁

Happy Halloween from Paul and Babe

Happy Halloween!! 😊🎃 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. 😄🐂🧊🪵🪓🌲

 

Happy Halloween from Paul Bunyan (Gus), and Babe (Lucian), the loyal blue ox!! 😄🎃
Lucian has been having a blast, whisking his cousin with his oxtail, whenever he least expects it. 🤪

 

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? 😄🐂🌲🪵

A Haute Couture Ball

 It’s a Haute Couture weekend! Gus has arrived at @hautecouturefordolls’ High Fashion Ball, draped in velvets and metallic armor and chainmail references; in a mashup of Dior and D&G Alta Sartoria. Scroll down to see my inspiration from the runways. 👑💎🛡⚔️🐴

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!! 📖✨❄️🌸🌻🍁

A Cozy Sweater

Gus cozies up in a big textured black sweater, for the #monday4dolls theme: Sweaters. 🧶🐏🍁🍂

I made this sweater from a sock, using my bulkey sweater sewing pattern (available at the Tiny Apparel Etsy shop). 🧵🪡📍

 

Grigio Perla 007 Swim Trunks

It’s fall, but cold water doesn’t bother a good model. 😆 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. 😊

 

Work in Progress

Working on a “mini-me” for an awesome VIP. 😎👓🎨🐉

 

Catching up on Projects

Gus is looking at the ol’ Tiny Apparel notebook, seeing what projects I need to be catching up on! 🤔😅🧵🪡

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. 💙
