a family portrait like I never imagined

I never imagined I'd get to be princess, and later queen. But more importantly, for a long while, I wasn't able to imagine even having a baby. And without Gwen, this wouldn't be a family portrait, not in the same way.

Whaaaaat! Wow, congratulations! And that is a lovely portrait. (Also very blue.)

Purple, actually, in the right light. :) Eventually I'll get the black bits added, and then my garb will be heraldic.

Is it a shot silk or linen? Oooh..

Silk. I went all out on this dress (though someday I'll upgrade to real fur).

So sweet! And Gwen's blanket is a perfect match. ;) Mom was so excited she had to show me all the yarns as she was working on it for her.

The whole deal - princess, baby, many-buttoned husband - is pretty neat and makes me smile.

The blanket got many compliments at the event!

It is pretty cool.
