Helping the Clauses

Well, no, not those Clauses!

It’s Gina’s Grandma and Grandpa. They are dressing up as Santa and Mrs. Claus for Gina’s school Christmas bazaar and Gina gets to help pass out candy canes to all of Santa’s (Grandpa’s) little visitors. Gina has the perfect outfit for her important job. The dress is a print of pin dots in minty colors and her Santa hat and jacket are the all important finishing touch. Gina even has her hair styled like Mrs. Claus (Grandma), without the grey, of course.

She is ready, don’t you think?

Four inch Amelia Thimble is all ready to lend a (tiny) hand to help Santa. She knows there are things that only she can do like arranging things in a little girl’s dollhouse so it is just perfect when she finds it on Christmas morning, climbing into a stocking and getting the little gifts to fit perfectly in the toe, and testing out a race car on it’s new track (she is very brave). Her dream is to accompany Santa on Christmas Eve and maybe this year her dream will come true.

Pukipuki is Here to Welcome the Holiday Season

Okay, I know it is early. Halloween was three days ago…! By the time Thanksgiving gets here, though, I think we will want to have some idea about what our doll displays will look like, no? I must confess that I actually started making things for Christmas in July. While I was enjoying the hot Florida sun I was knitting Santa hats and I am glad I did because time seems to be slipping away already.

So to welcome the season here is my Pukipuki Sugar. She is wearing a winter white hand knit and daintily embroidered dress in a mohair/silk yarn. On her head is a ruby red Santa hat with fuzzy trim. If you listen closely you can hear the tinkling of the little bell which magically sticks to her hand (oops sorry, no magic here, there are magnets in Pukipuki’s hands).

Here is a closeup of the embroidery. It is quite tiny. Two different varieties of evergreen boughs and berries, and tiny embroidered bows encircle the waistline of this dress.
