Happy Halloween from Riley, Tulah, and Zsu Zse!

These sweet little dolls came to your house to trick-or-treat. Do you have any candy for them?

I dug this photo out of my archives. I made these outfits in 2005! Gosh, I cannot believe it’s been eight years. The sweaters are crocheted. I remember making the little candy corn buttons out of artists clay and then painting those tiny pieces with my tubes of acrylic paint.

Back in 2005 (and for the next four years) these Kish littles were primarily the dolls I was dressing. Botanic Riley was my first “expensive” collector doll. I cannot remember exactly how much I paid for her, but she was in the low $100’s. I thought I would never spend more on a doll. Well, things have sure changed…

Happy Halloween everyone!!!

Patience & Amelia Thimble Model New Sister Set

3 Replies

Wilde Imagination’s Patience and Amelia Thimble dolls are here to show you their brand new sister set that I just completed for them. I used this corduroy print once last year making an outfit for Helen Kish’s Bethany doll and loved working with these colors so much that I decided to use it again for Patience. Of course if Patience gets a new outfit then Amelia gets a coordinating set too. The embroidery on this set is a different stitch for me. Because the flowers are pastel on a darker yarn I had to make them more solid so they would show up nicely. I put a lazy daisy stitch around straight stitches and was very happy with the end result. Does anyone know if this stitch has a name?
