#bitty!teacup

We at Panther-stars would like to wish everybody have a safe and happy celebration today. The United States is messed up right now, but I’m quietly confident it will get better and I’m proud to live in a nation that we can force change for the better in, where our voices and votes matter. Remember the starting tenants of the US from our Declaration of Independence- “ We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”. We are a nation of immigrants, and we should celebrate that.

The bittys here would like to join this- Saffron, Mint, Paprika, and reluctantly Sathe wish you a safe and happy holiday. The text is the poem “The New Colossus, inscribed onto our Statue of Liberty.

I had some relatives over for a while today visiting, so I left these guys alone for a bit. They seem to have managed to occupy themselves and have fun anyways though.

Saffron got into some of my wooden pieces- the tiny catapult ammo and targets. Not meant to be toys, but I hadn’t the heart to take them from him.

As Papyrus-type bitties, Paprika (My Teacup)  and Mint (My Meek) love puzzles and games. Looks like the tiny connect four I found went over very well

So today I attempted to sew a tiny pair of pants for Paprika because the dress is cute but really it makes it hard to see the poses, so they can’t wear it all the time and it’s kinda stiff. But I messed up the pattern lengths and accidently swapped leg and waist lengths around.

It actually did turn out as a cute piece of functional clothing- but it is no pants that is for sure. It is however a very cute halter-topped jumpsuit. I might add a design to the front tomorrow. If so that will be an additional post to Mint’s intro, which should happen tomorrow if nothing goes wrong. Now: to make actual pants is my next task, I think for all three. Mint will need clothes, Saffron’s are clearly pjs, and Paprika still needs a set since this didn’t work out perfectly, even if it is totally something they would wear. Thankfully, with this attempt I now understand the pattern, and should have no further problems.

Next step- everyone met Saffron yesterday, so time for our next introduction. I’m excited so, I’ll jump right in. This is my Teacup bitty, Paprika. They prefer they/them pronouns (All the others are distinctly male out of the five I have adopted thus far, but teacups have always struck me as very androgynous in the way they are presented personality wise in fan-art and fiction.)

I think this bear is going to be a common feature in these photos based on my track record so far. I think he was in both Sathe’s and Saffron’s intros. It makes for a good size comparison for my own reference.

Watching TV- newly revamped to actually have a screen. In Sathe’s into its still was just cardboard. Though you can kinda only see the popcorn reflection i guess. I do have to note Paprika is kinda hard to sit down naturally with the til- it took me the better part of my day experimenting before I mastered it.

With the tablet- this photo actually was taken before the one with Saffron but that is cool. Paprika’s enjoying themselves.

A shot of Paprika's room. They like fashion, dancing, and the color purple. You’ll notice their paintings feature a ballet dancer and a angel with very nice aesthetic hair. They also enjoy dinosaurs and  both fantasy and young adult novels, as seen with their book selection - Lois Lowery’s The Giver, Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, JRR Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, and Leigh Bardugo’s Shadow and Bone.

Sleeping. They have a loft bed, that occupies what part of their room isn’t shown above. Also that blanket is soft as hell and if it were human sized I would be using it.

Relaxing. Here you can see the TV room, and two unoccupied bedrooms, as well as part of Paprika’s.

I’m delighted to have Paprika with me and accompanying Saffron.
