A Wish for Spring

Don’t get me wrong. I enjoyed the coziness of being indoors on Sunday while the fluffy white stuff piled up outside. It was truly beautiful. Now it is just so hard to get around with all of the icy piles everywhere. In a strange way it feels like winter just started. Boo Hoo!

Anyway, I couldn’t help myself. I had to make something that hints at springtime. Creating this ensemble for Talyssa helped me forget what is outside (for awhile) and think about sweetly scented springtime blossoms.

I know that it’s just a wish for now. But, maybe wishing will make a warm breeze start to blow, the sun will come out and the snow will start to melt. I yearn for spring. Do you too?

Something (New) for the Little Darlings

2 Replies

Have you ever had a project that just didn’t seem to get totally and completely finished, which for me means getting it onto my website? “Cozy & Bright” for the Little Darlings is “it” for me. This outfit was made and I even took some photos way back….yes, before I went on vacation…in the summer!!! When I got back from vacation I felt this frenzy to make fall outfits, then Christmas outfits, then some Valentine’s Day outfits. Which brings me to where I am right now. I thought that if this poor ensemble for our Little Darlings didn’t get on my website now the Easter and spring season would push this one aside once again.

So without further ado here is Gina (finally) modeling her “Cozy & Bright” outfit for you.

And, no, it doesn’t look like this outside now. I wish…!

A Sunny Day

8 Replies

Well, I’m calling it a sunny day because the sun was out for about an hour this afternoon. It has been such a cloudy winter that one hour of sun cannot go unnoticed, can it? I was sitting in my studio finishing up a cardigan for Talyssa when the latent sun made it’s fleeting appearance.

Anyway, cloudy days are a good thing since Groundhog Day is 8 days away. Besides, I don’t think there have been many days in either December or January that the groundhog would have seen his shadow here in northern Illinois. Will spring be early or has winter not really started yet?

I’m counting on an early spring…a very early spring! How about you?

Here is Amelia Thimble modeling her “sunny” yellow dress/hat set which is just perfect for today’s bit of sun. The knit dress has an embroidered wreath of roses encircling the dropped waistline and her crocheted hat keeps the sun out of her eyes.
