I'm up to the eighth day of Dragon Dreams's Twelve Dragonlets of Christmas. Instead of maids milking, though...
we have dragons crying over spilled milk. It's kind of hard to see what's going on, I think, but there are two dragons there...the spiller and the...spillee. Have you all heard the saying, "Don't cry over spilled milk"? I looked up the origin of the phrase, but no one is really sure where it started. One theory is that since fairies love milk, spilled milk was considered an offering to them. If you scolded someone for spilling the milk, you'd be seen by the fairies as stingy and bring bad luck on the house!
I personally think that the dragon on the bottom was just going to enjoy a nice milk bath a la Cleopatra and is holding his ears to try and block out the sobbing dragon on top. Way to ruin a relaxing bath with all that blubbing!
Who knew that dragons even liked milk anyway?
ReplyDeleteToo funny. Jennifer has quite an imagination! Your stitching perfect too.
ReplyDeleteI love your explanation for what's going on with the bottom dragon, it's fantastic!
ReplyDeletePoor little dragon!
ReplyDeleteI like your stitching and explanations!!
I like your definition of the spilled milk too.
ReplyDeleteAnother fun one... great job!
ReplyDeleteI found this a strange one too!
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough, the latest McD's advert asserts that dragons love milk. They are in a deal with How To Train Your Dragon and are trying to promote their healthy food range.
Like any child has ever gone into McDs and asked for a glass of milk! Other than their sugar-based milk-flavoured shakes LOL
Those dragons must be milking the cows before they eat them because I don't believe dragons would make for very good dairy farmers.
ReplyDeleteBubbles and suds it is! :)
