Wren & Ellory .... two girls who stayed at home....

Both Wren (1969 Kilt) and Ellory (1979 Redhead White Dress) wanted to come with me to the UK as they wanted to visit with friends at the Chat n Snap.  Wren was all ready to go, she'd chosen and changed into her outfit, had her hair washed and combed....she even had her passport ready.  Unfortunately though, with just days to go, her stringing seemed to give way and the poor girl was a sobbing heap :(   I did quickly restring her but I decided in the end to leave her at home in case she embarrassed herself by collapsing on the day!  Whilst I was at the CnS I spoke with Brendan about sending her for proper restringing, so that will probably happen in the New Year.   In the meantime, I thought I'd share some photos of Wren and Ellory on here, both girls are ready for colder weather!!

(I've actually been practicing using my 'light tent', which is the real reason for these photos!)

Ellory looking pensive.....she heard that Ronny, her previous 'mum' is hoping to come back to blogging!

Ellory....

Today was Ellory's turn to get some attention, and along with that she got a new outfit.  Well a new kilt actually, as I'd already made the polo neck jumper and long striped stockings a while back, she'd just been waiting on the skirt.

Here she is looking out the window as the sun started to go down:

 

And here is her full outfit from the front.  She has teamed it with some lovely red leather boots by Ruthsdolls:

Unfortunately the kilt is slipping down a bit because poor Ellory doesn't have any knickers on.....she's a bit of an exhibitionist really....I don't know where she gets it from!!!!  But I will get around to making her some underwear one of these days, especially now that the weather is a bit cooler!!!

Ellory likes to 'travel', she is, however, just an 'armchair' traveller, but she enjoys herself all the same.  (I found this on a photo site, so thought it would be fun to use her photo on here!).

Changing the subject entirely, Santa Claus came early here again this year and here is what he has left for me!!!  A lovely new bike!  Well I think the reason 'he' comes here early is because my hubby thinks if he gets in early with a particular idea for me, I won't ask for another doll!!!!

Yes, it is a bike!!!  (in case you didn't guess!! ;) )  I've been wanting one for ages!  Well originally I had wanted a moped or scooter but we found that the insurance was really high, so a push-bike it is!  I also got a helmet and a gel seat!  I'm delighted with it all and will keep it down here at the coast as it is much flatter.  The bike is called a 'town bike'....or as my son called it "an OLD LADIES bike!"...blooming cheek!  But I know what he means!  When I look at it, I'm reminded of Mrs Gulch, the neighbour of Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz....see what I mean?  (Please excuse all the fallen leaves that are waiting to be swept up....I don't even have the excuse that I'm in Kansas and there's been a tornado, do I!!!!)

Now all I need is a big basket on the back for the Chihuahuas!!!
