A Bit of Spring Dreaming is Going On Here

All it takes is an above freezing day or two in January to get me thinking (and dreaming) of spring.  Oh, how I love spring with the scent of blossoms in the air, buds on the trees, new colors and tiny plants appearing daily!

Sigh…I know…this wonderfulness is a way off yet.  Still I dream, of spring.

Amelia Thimble is here modeling a spring dress and bonnet to help you start to dream of spring too.

Winter Snowflakes

Do you have any snowflakes yet?  We don’t have any real snowflakes in northern Illinois.  In fact it just got cold enough to produce snow, not rain.  I am sure it won’t be long now and we will be enjoying the quiet beauty of a winter wonderland.

To celebrate the start of winter Talyssa has a new ensemble to show you reminiscent of an icy paradise where she is the princess.  Her dress is made with a cotton print in violet-ish colored snowflakes.  Snowflake embroidery, crystals, pearls, a silver snowflake charm, a glittery ornament, muted shades of color (or no color) make Talyssa’s new outfit perfect to help welcome winter.

If you’d like to make some of your own (virtual paper) snowflakes you can make some online here. I love the sound affects as the snowflakes are being snipped.  Here’s the one I made.
