“Tiny Punkin”, a dress/hat set for Amelia Thimble

Well, fall is officially here.  Bring on the fall colors!  Here is Amelia Thimble modeling her new fall dress/hat set for you.  It is knit in a hand dyed light shade of pumpkin and hand embroidered with teeny tiny bullion stitched pumpkins, white blossoms, and greenery.  Oh, and every pumpkin needs a perfect little stem.  Amelia’s cap is pumpkin shaped and decorated with more embroidery.

Orange You Ready for Fall?

My Little Darling, Gina, sure is.  Here she is modeling her new one-of-a-kind fall dress and sweater set.  I’ve had this wool/angora yarn for a few months and finally got to use it for this fall ensemble.  The sweater is so soft and warm I wish I could wear it.  Vertical lace panels decorate the sleeves, front edges, and the back; bronze Czech glass beads button up this cozy sweater.  The dress is a pumpkin color cotton print with lots of wonderful colors used for the flowers and dots.  The dress features a lacy panel on the bodice and a frilly tulle ruffle at the hemline.  The dress is entirely lined in white cotton lawn with all of the seams hidden between the lining and fabric; the lining is also invisibly hand stitched.

I think this set is perfect for picking out the perfect pumpkin in the pumpkin patch, don’t you?

It’s Almost Fall

Yes, it is.  Although it is technically still summer (and yesterday morning was 80 degrees) today it is 20+ degrees colder.  When I go outside I think of Halloween.  No, not yet, please…

Here is my Little Darling, Gina, modeling a new fall outfit for you.  It is made up of a cotton floral dress, hand knit and embroidered sweater, hand knit beret, cotton tights, and a bracelet.  I bought the dress’s fabric from Vogue Fabrics in Evanston, IL many years ago.  I fell in love with the colors in this muted, yet colorful fabric.  The top I made for myself fast became a favorite of mine which I wore so much that I wore it out.  Looking back at my photo albums the top I had made found it’s way into many pictures over a period of 2-3 years.  My favorite colors in this floral print are the violet and blush pink so I chose to highlight those colors for this 5-piece ensemble.
