The Knight and the Dragon


On a crisp fall day, Sir Damian took a walk through the forest. Finding a large, flat rock, Damian sat for a while, autumn leaves floating gently from the trees around him.

Plush Dragon

From behind the rock at his back, Damian heard a sound.

Plush Dragon

What is that? Damian looked over his shoulder...


A little dragon!

Plush Dragon

Dragons and knights being enemies, Damian leapt to his feet, hand on his sword, and prepared to defend himself.


"Hello," said the dragon. "My name is Gene."

The little squeak surprised Damian. He didn't know that dragons could talk! Now he just had to get a closer look.

Plush Dragon

"I'm Sir Damian," Damian introduced himself. "I'm a knight."

Plush Dragon

"A knight," the dragon gulped. "Aren't knights enemies with dragons?"

Damian explained that many brave knights had fought big scary dragons to defend beautiful damsels and helpless kingdoms.

Plush Dragon

"But you don't look so big or scary to me," Damian went on, allowing the little dragon to climb into his lap. "Where did you come from?"

Gene told Damian all about how he'd been hatched in a nearby cave several months ago and that all his siblings and his parents had gone away now. He was left alone in the world. Damian felt sorry for the little dragon and decided maybe he just needed a friend to play with.


"I have an idea," laying aside his cloak and sword, Damian gathered up a big pile of leaves and buried the dragon.

Plush Dragon

"Hey, Gene, where did you go?"


"I can't see you."


Gene snickered, but kept quiet.


"Where are you, little dragon?" Damian teased.

Plush Dragon

"Here I am!" Gene jumped out of the leaves.

Plush Dragon

"Argh!" Damian wrestled Gene into the leaves.

Plush Dragon

The leaves were thrown around with gleeful abandon as the two played.

Plush Dragon

Then they flopped into the leaves and tried to make leaf angels.

Plush Dragon

With the sun dipping low, Damian sadly said goodbye to his new friend and gathered up his cloak and sword. It was time to go home.

Plush Dragon

Little did he know, he had a tagalong.

Plush Dragon

Now the knight has a new best friend.

Gene the dragon is the newest tiny plush that I finished earlier this week. I made him with a pattern I adjusted and shrunk, not my own design. But he turned out so cute. Gene is a little bigger than the one I made for Ryder, but he's still the perfect size for a BJD prop pet.

Gene is available on eBay or Etsy. Links below.

Gene needs a good home, so if you're interested in adopting him, take a look at the listings.

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

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...
