For the Fun of It

The fabric that I used to make Talyssa’s new dress is pure fun and sunshine. Even the fabric has a fun name—Posy Swirl. When I saw it, I knew immediately that I wanted to use it to create an ensemble for one of my girls (dolls). I had my youthful and sweet Talyssa in mind right from the start. When I showed her the fabric, she did indeed love it too.

Talyssa’s cardigan is embroidered with bullion stitched tulips and daisy-like flowers to coordinate with the dress. Her three crocheted flower ties range from light pink to deep magenta. They can be arranged in endless ways and one can even be tied around Talyssa’s bouquet, if you so wish.

This sweater really brings out the green in Talyssa’s eyes.

Oh, Talyssa, you have the sweetest face!

Tiny Dresses From My Imaginary Rose Garden

4 Replies

I’ve been in teeny tiny creative mode lately, and I seem to be hooked on pink roses. Here are the latest ensembles to come from my studio: two dress/hat sets for Amelia Thimble and Izzy, and a new dress/hat set for Pukipuki.

All three dresses ended up coordinating nicely together, so I took a group picture of my three tinies all dressed up. Sorry about Amelia Thimble’s strange pose; she was in an animated mood during the photo shoot and refused to stand still unless I held her. Izzy and Sugar behaved like tiny angels.

Is it too soon?

Is it too soon to be “Dreamin’ of Summer?” Amelia Thimble doesn’t think so, and I agree with her. Why not start dreaming, if only just a little bit, about lush flower gardens, picnics in the grass, outings to the beach, or catching some rays by the pool?

Tiny Amelia Thimble whispered in my ear that she is dreaming of a summer garden party, and she is awaiting her very first invitation of the season. Being the life of every party, I am sure it will arrive soon.
