Wyn's New Sweater

I've been asking Barrel Ryder to make Wyn a sweater, and around the end of April we went to a local craft store that's closing and I ran across this really nice skein of variegated blue yarn with threads of sparkly blue woven in. Since Wyn is suppose to be a Frost Fairy, I want all of his outfits to reflect that, so I purchased the yarn and begged my sister to knit a doll sweater for Wyn.


Wyn's new sweater is done from the same pattern as Horace's sweater. It's also the same pattern Barrel Ryder uses to make pukifee sweaters. Quite a scale up, huh?

Pardon Wyn's shorts; I need to make him some actual pants.


I'm hoping to make a white collared shirt to go under his sweater and under the suit I plan to make him eventually...


He needs a snap on the back of the sweater yet, but we'll get to it sometime.


I think this pattern looks really nice on him, as do the colors. So wintery.


I can't wait to get a whole outfit finished for him. I'm also excited to paint him, but between my cold and the wind around here, that doesn't seem like it'll get done too fast. That's okay, though; I should probably make him some clothes first, since I intend to blush a lot of his body and I can't design clothes for a doll that's "gone to pieces" as it were!

Storybook Land

We leave tomorrow night to start our vacation, so I thought I'd better put up a post or two before we go. I'll be leaving the laptop at home during this trip so no posts until we get back. It's been a bit of a busy week, so I haven't had a lot of time for posting, but I've got a moment now. In honor of our upcoming trip, I decided to post a few more pics from our last trip. Our grandparents live outside of Aberdeen, South Dakota; and in Aberdeen they have a little place called Storybook Land. We used to go here when we were kids so we decided it was time for a nostalgia visit. Basically, this place is filled with statues, buildings, and such of storybook creatures, characters, and settings. Above is Rapunzel's castle, complete with knights, Rapunzel, and the prince, hanging on for dear life from her hair. Some of the other characters to note are Paul Bunyan and Babe, the blue ox... Humpty Dumpty... One of the Billy Goats Gruff and his troll...

The Gang's Wall Here

Image
Now that you've met the Roads, the Garr brothers, and Ryder's first family; it's time you meet the Wall family. Brick Wall and his happy family belong to me, SilverStar-Burst. Their family contains my first ever BJD, who you'll meet a little further down the page. As you can see, Brick has a rather large family. He and his lovely wife have seven kids, one assistant, and a stowaway. That's not even counting all the little animals and aliens they drag along with them. Up first is Captain Brick Wall, former sky pirate, current treasure seeker and detective. He's ~47cm tall, and I bought him secondhand off of eBay. He started out as big brother to my two earliest YoSDs, but he made a better father-figure, so I made him that instead. He may have a little of a deer-in-the-headlights look right now, but that's only because I just told him he's going to be featured on a blog. I guess he's a little overwhelmed by the idea. Next is Ivy Wall. She...

History of Ryder's First BJD Ever

Image
Barrel Ryder here again, with my next doll family. This family doesn't really have a last name but one of the characters has a last name so it's kinda confusing...I'll just get on with the post and it should make sense by the end. This is the family. This is Jade. She was my first ever BJD and the first ever BJD to enter this house, she is very special to me. Jade has a sad story, her husband was a police officer and was killed in the line of duty very shortly after they were married. Jade adopted three children after her husband died. She also owns a ranch and has a very handsome ranch hand who you will met momentarily. Jasmine was my second ever BJD. Jasmine's best friend is Lego Loki from the Avengers movie, Loki pretends to be mean but mess with his girl and he will end you! Jasmine also loves the Lord of the Rings, and the Hobbit. This is Amy. Amy is soft spoken loves horses and nature, oh and has a huge crush on Marcus from the Roads...
