One Month Before…Valentine’s Day!

Valentine’s Day is only a month away! I have just finished a huge lot (to me, anyway) of Valentine’s Day sets for Amelia Thimble and Pukipuki. I love the sweet colors for this holiday. There are seven different sets here, two are for Pukipuki and 7 are for Amelia Thimble and Izzy. I used different combinations of yarn types, yarn colors, and warm or cool color palettes. Pukipuki’s dress sets each coordinate with a set for Amelia Thimble and Izzy.

Pukipuki Sugar wants to give you her heart. She is modeling the “Hearts and Roses” set.

This is Amelia Thimble’s dress, “Tiny Valentine”, that coordinates with Pukipuki’s above it.

Izzy loves modeling with one of her favorite cuddly puppies.

Pukipuki Sugar loves her special friends too. Here she is modeling “Hugs ‘n Kisses”.

Izzy’s set, “Cuddly Hearts”, coordinates with Pukipuki’s above.

Some Flowers to Brighten Your Winter Day

I don’t know about all of you, but I am already looking forward to spring. This winter is proving to be quite a doozy. Embroidering flower bouquets in my favorite colors on tiny knits helps to remind me that spring will be here. Hopefully that will be soon. Here are a couple of dress/hat sets that I recently completed for Amelia Thimble and Izzy.

Teeny tiny Amelia Thimble and Izzy wish you all a great weekend!

Happy New Year Beginnings

A happy new year to all my wonderful readers!!!

Here in very snowy and cold northern Illinois I have enjoyed my holiday time with my family and away from “work”. (However, it is not work to me because I love what I do.) A quote from Gretchen Rubin, author of Happier at Home, stuck with me. She says, “No matter how much you love what you do, it’s nice to have a little break.” I have found this to be true. I feel refreshed and passionate about my little dresses and dolls once again. I must confess that I did sneak in a bit of time here and there to “work” a bit. I cannot go cold turkey and create zero, zilch, nada, for oh, probably no more that two or three days. So, yesterday and today I took some pictures of sets that I completed during my time “off” from “work”. Here are a couple of sneak peak pics.

Yes, this is for Valentine’s Day. I know it’s early but, I like to get a head start on holiday dresses so their new owners have a chance to display them on their girls well in advance of the holiday. Sugar didn’t seem to mind. The hearts and pink roses match her personality perfectly. She is a dream to photograph and pose. I LOVE her!!! So happy Fairyland is making Pukipuki dolls again. Denver Dolls also sells these cuties.
