Finally, for Patsy

It’s been about two years since I’ve made something for poor Patsy. She is such a good sport though, and didn’t hold a grudge against me. Look at how she shines in her new sweater dress ensemble! She looks happy to be modeling again, doesn’t she?

This ensemble will also fit Tonner’s 10″ Ann Estelle and her friends. By the way, did you see Mary Engelbreit’s post about Ann Estelle dolls? Here is the link to my Facebook page where I shared her post. Ann Estelle and Sophie were favorites of so many for quite a while; it would be fun if they were being made again.

There was a slight crispness in the air today, so sweater weather is starting here in northern Illinois.

Hope you enjoyed seeing Patsy’s new sweater dress ensemble. Bye for now and thanks for stopping by.

Some Info For Eye Candy Lovers

Do you love looking at photos for inspiration? I know that I do. The first thing that I usually do when I am thinking about a new outfit is to go back and look at past ensembles that I have made.

Did you know that you can also go back and look at my original sales page from each ensemble that I have made (starting from March 2014)?

This is how:

Go to my website.
Click on the tab at the top titled “Slideshows“.
Click on the doll’s photo that you’d like to see photos for.
On this page you will see one or more slideshows going on. (If the slideshow moves too fast for you, you can click on the circles underneath each slideshow to move backwards and forwards within the slideshow.) If your cursor arrow turns into a hand icon when it is on a certain photo, you can click and go to the original page from when that particular ensemble was for sale. Remember that this feature is only available for my ensembles created starting from March 2014.

When I first started my website, I signed up for a one year contract because I wasn’t sure if I would like selling my outfits from a website. Well, it has worked out, so last spring I renewed my contract for 5 years and I was able to get unlimited pages for my website. What this means is that I can keep those original pages for viewing which makes me happy.

🙂 🙂 🙂

So, try it out, if you’d like. I hope my photos inspire you today.

To get you started here’s a photo from a year ago. If you click HERE, you will get taken to the original sales page on my website.

I’ve Been Busy…

I just realized that I haven’t had a blog post in September yet. Yikes!

I have been busy though, really I have.

Here’s what’s been going on here in my creative little world. We had some cooler weather a few weeks ago and that got me in the sweater weather mood. However, it seemed as soon as I started knitting the first cozy sweater dress, hot and humid July weather came along and stayed for a couple of weeks, but I persevered and kept knitting anyway. Yesterday, the hot weather broke and it is slowly getting cooler. It is still quite humid though. Anyway, I am collecting a stash of sweater dresses, so will have a bunch for sale one after another probably, so stay tuned.

I’ve made a sweater dress for Patsy, (I know it’s a shocker) and am finishing up one for the Little Darlings (the embroidery is pictured below). Also, I am almost finished knitting a sweater dress for Millie (see the grape colored knitting below).

I have some tiny pumpkin dress/hat sets made for Amelia Thimble and Pukipuki, but am waiting to get another one completed too.

Above is the embroidery on a drop waist sweater dress for the Little Darlings. I pulled the bead pictured below for a possible bracelet.

The grape colored dress is for Millie and the tiny orange one on the needles is for Amelia Thimble.

See, I have been busy! Thanks for hanging in there with me. I’ll be back soon with some completed things to show you. Hope you’re enjoying the month of September and these last couple of weeks of the summer season.
