Ellie- Is younger sister to Susan, rather romantic, and has learned many life lessons. She is gentle and kind, always there for help-even if her suggestions may not always be the best for a situation- and can always listen if anyone needs to talk. She is rarely in a bad mood. :-)
Susan- Older sister to Ellie. Is very practical in every way, and doesn't let finery rule over her. She is always neatly kept and rarely changes her hairstyle or design of clothing. She keeps track of the expenses and any other thing that needs taking care of (such as making sure Adele serves tea on time!)
Amy- A very sweet girl who is cousin to Susan and Ellie. She lives with her mother, though they don't get along very well. Amy's favorite times are spent with the "Sisters" (as they are commonly known). She has many fun adventures when staying with them, and often learns much.
Adele- French servant to the Sisters. She isn't very punctual, but she tries. She has been with the Sisters for a long time and plans on staying with them. She can take care of their every need at any time perfectly, and can often heal an afternoon of dullness with her comical English pronunciation.
I, unfortunately, don't have any pictures of the boy's outfits. We also don't really have anything planned for them, as we are out of funds and material. ;-) However, top hats out of foam work very well. =D I will try to get pictures of them soon...
Now, enjoy some more fun pictures!!
More details of Amy's dress. I have to admit, I had way too much fun with this one!! I sewed it, whereas Ellie and Susan sewed their own. ;-) Any way, I had tons of fun sewing it, and then having the satisfactory pride of taking the pictures! lol!
Susan's dress was really fun, too!! We didn't have enough red material for the sleeves (we were simply using whatever fabric we had on hand.) so we had to substitute for white instead. I had fun getting some cool shots of her when she wasn't looking. ;-) lol!!
My costume was rather.. interesting. lol!! I had quite a few problems along the way, and I did a lot of it free pattern, or pattern free, whichever way you want to look at it. lol! The cap isn't really historically right, but that was all we had. :-) And if you really want to know our secret, any fabric that is WHITE is a sheet.. hey, ya use what ya gotta use! lol!
"Oh, how do I look today??"
*gasp and groan* "I hope no one sees my face today.. " lol!!
Let's walk in the garden instead... ;-)
Ok, now just for a few pictures more that Josh took. :-) Hope this post doesn't crash your computer!!!
MY FAVORITE!!
Ok, here are some pics that Ellie snapped of me. I had brought an old book that I had brought as a photo prop. I just started reading while Susan smiled and listened. ;-) lol!!
So, leave a comment to let me know what you think, and which photo(s) you like best!!
Well, that is all folks!! Hope you enjoyed!
In Christ,
Sarah
PS Don't despair! The Give away is coming REALLY soon.. I am just waiting for a few things and then we will get it underway. :-) So sorry about it being late!!
