It’s Sugar’s Turn

It’s been a while since Sugar has had something new and she is super happy that it is her turn.

In case you are not familiar with this doll, Sugar is a BJD from Fairyland. She is almost 4-1/2″ tall, so she is quite tiny.

Sugar isn’t much taller than teeny tiny Amelia, but she is so much easier to pose. For instance, both of them are standing in a metal wagon and since Sugar has little magnets embedded into her feet she sticks (even while wearing these Kelly doll shoes) to the wagon. Even if the wagon wasn’t metal she still poses so much easier. Sugar is less kicky than Amelia and seems to stay when she is posed. Miss Amelia LOVES to sit in my hand to model and tends to throw herself on the floor if I don’t oblige her. LOL I have never had any tantrums with Sugar.

Sugar’s dress is almost as tiny as Amelia Thimble’s dress.

My Pukipuki dress is in the middle. For more information on purchasing this dress/hat set, please visit my “Available for Sale” page at cindyricedesigns.com .

A “Bitsy Pumpkin Patch”

6 Replies

I know that I’ve been talking Christmas, Christmas, Christmas all week. Let’s get back to reality for a bit…

Here’s the first of my teeny tiny dress/hat sets. This one is made just for Wilde Imagination’s Amelia Thimble and Izzy dolls.

I knit this dress and hat out of lace weight merino/silk yarn that I dyed to a light pumpkin color. I added five bullion stitched pumpkins, tiny brown stems, lazy daisy green leaves, some blades of grass, and yellow blossoms along the hemline (Amelia has a little corsage blossom on her left shoulder too). For a different look, this hat is a bit “less deep” than the other two in the series and sits more atop the head. Like the others, it has a fuzzy mohair stem, crocheted leaf, and curly tendrils.

“When are we visiting the pumpkin patch?”, asks Amelia.

Time for a rest… this modeling business is hard work!

The “Bitsy Pumpkin Patch” dress/hat set (the dress on the right) is now available for sale on my website, click on the “Available for Sale” page when you get there. (The middle dress, for Pukipuki, and the Amelia Thimble dress on the left will be available in the coming days.)

Oh, I did get some sewing done yesterday. I now have my first Christmas dress made along with the sweater and hat. Now, for the fun and creative part–adding the finishing touches and making everything “just so”.

Bye for now! Thanks for reading.

Hope you had a great day!

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.
