Puki’s Playtime

My little Pukipuki and I had a playful and fun photo shoot this week. I love working with this little one. She has never had a tantrum and takes direction very well. Of course, she was all smiles when I brought out the teddy bears and the huggable pillow puppy. And…she always loves sitting on the little twig bench that I bought for the fairies who visit our garden.

Bye for now! Love, Sugar! ❤

“You Are My Sunshine”

3 Replies

My sweet and sunny Talyssa is here to show you her new springtime outfit and I’m hoping that she is bringing the sunshine with her too. We can never have too much sunshine, can we?

My Talyssa is a fair skinned Kaye Wiggs doll and I must say that these colors look beautiful on her. As soon as I put this piece of fabric next to her face I knew that this print would be for her. She looks the best in warm and bright colors. Oh, what a cutie pie she is!I made Talyssa a little basket where she can put the tiny blossoms that she finds while out and about. It’s no secret that my dolls love to collect flowers, is it?

Her light and airy crocheted hat keeps the bright sun out of her eyes.

While I was taking these pictures of her I was reminded of Anne of Green Gables.

“Sunshine Day” for the Little Darlings

6 Replies

Since sunshiny days are so difficult to find this spring, I made a new ensemble for the Little Darlings that is filled with the warmth of yellows and pinks. It’s sure to brighten your day as it did mine while I was making this set.

The photo below highlights how delicate my mohair/silk lace sweaters are. It is especially difficult to embroider on such an open knit as the embroidery threads easily show through to the front of the sweater.

(The lemon yellow/pink roses remind me of strawberry lemonade.)

I had the perfect colors of bicone crystals in my stash (thanks to my sister’s bead destashing last summer) to use for the bracelet; pastel blue, yellow, and pink match perfectly and add a bit of sparkle. I also found a pastel yellow Swarovski crystal butterfly that matched the bicone crystals and used it for the end of the purse’s dangle. Since there isn’t a heart on the bracelet I sewed a pink heart to the inside of the purse to show that this ensemble was made with love.
