Tiny Dresses From My Imaginary Rose Garden

I’ve been in teeny tiny creative mode lately, and I seem to be hooked on pink roses. Here are the latest ensembles to come from my studio: two dress/hat sets for Amelia Thimble and Izzy, and a new dress/hat set for Pukipuki.

All three dresses ended up coordinating nicely together, so I took a group picture of my three tinies all dressed up. Sorry about Amelia Thimble’s strange pose; she was in an animated mood during the photo shoot and refused to stand still unless I held her. Izzy and Sugar behaved like tiny angels.

Is it too soon?

Is it too soon to be “Dreamin’ of Summer?” Amelia Thimble doesn’t think so, and I agree with her. Why not start dreaming, if only just a little bit, about lush flower gardens, picnics in the grass, outings to the beach, or catching some rays by the pool?

Tiny Amelia Thimble whispered in my ear that she is dreaming of a summer garden party, and she is awaiting her very first invitation of the season. Being the life of every party, I am sure it will arrive soon.

While Amelia Thimble is waiting for that first summer party invitation to arrive, she finds the Easter bunny hanging out in my studio.

What a cute pair they make!

Some Tiny Easter Pretties

Easter and spring dress sets continue to be made here in still snowy northern Illinois. This week I embroidered some of the most feminine and Easter-y dresses yet.

Usually I start with the dresses and then make a hat or cap to finish off the outfit. This time I made the hats first (no idea why, just happened that way) and I then designed the dresses to match.

I started by knitting a pink dress to match the white hat with the pink embellishments. Initially I thought this would end up being primarily a pink and white set. After embroidering a pink rose I thought the dress needed lavender. I embroidered the lavender rose and then the idea was born to make a pastel rainbow of tiny roses in Easter egg colors encircling the waistline of the dress. I’m very happy with how colorful the dress turned out. It is definitely Easter-y, isn’t it?

The next hat was very similar to a set I made last spring titled “All Dressed Up”. I adore this thin jacquard ribbon and wanted to use it again for a new set this year. The brighter pink I used for the rose embroidery is an exact match to the cotton I used for the hat. Then I added a very light pink for the outer rose petals and a rosebud. I matched the green in the ribbon for the embroidered greenery on the dress. And lastly, the pastel pink roses needed some tiny white baby’s breath to complete this most delicate look.
