It’s My Little Darling, Gina’s Turn

…for a Valentine’s Day sweater dress.

Don’t you think this is the perfect time of year for cozy and pretty knit dresses? They are so comfy, easy to wear, and they keep you nice and toasty warm.

“Sweethearts and Roses”, Gina’s new outfit, started out with her tights. I’ve had this cotton knit for years and have never got around to using it. It is really a sweet print with lots of different hearts in pinks and reds. There’s even a bit of silver in there for a touch of little girl sparkle. I matched my yarn to the warm pink hearts and knit up an a-line dress that is short enough to let those tights look, oh, so cute. I embroidered two large asymmetrical groups of roses, rosebuds, and hearts at the dropped waistline. Extra pops of color are added with a touch of bright lavender and light yellow green. You’ll find more hearts and love for you in Gina’s jewelry. Her simple grosgrain headband snaps in back so it doesn’t need to be retied each time.

Do You Want to Build a Snowman?

I do. I do. And my Little Darling, Gina, does too.

While we are waiting for the snow to fall Gina has a new ensemble to show you. This little snowmen printed dress is helping us get into the snowman building spirit. Look at all of those adorable snowmen! To go with her snowmen dress are hand knitted accessories. A capelet, Santa hat, duo of scarves, mitts, and boot toppers keep Gina all warm and toasty.

Christmas & Candy Canes

3 Replies

Red striped candy canes as we know them now have been the official Christmas candy since about 1900. (Before this time they were solid white.) But only recently, it seems, every company has a candy cane variation for their products i.e., Candy Cane Oreos, Ghirardelli peppermint bark, Starbucks drinks (too many to list), Dairy Queen Candy Cane Chill Blizzard, etc. etc.

Since all of the above will ruin a diet here is my Little Darling, Gina, modeling a no calorie version starring the candy cane.

Doesn’t she look yummy?
