Mid Winter Floral Imagining

It’s no surprise that I LOVE flowers, right? I embroider them on my doll clothes and gravitate towards floral fabrics. Even when I designed cross stitch patterns my patterns were of flowers.

From when I was very young I loved flowers and there are even photos to prove it. Here are two pictures of me smelling the roses (or trying to). You’ll notice in one picture I have a death grip on my Barbie doll. Yes, my passions started young.

In the middle of winter when I would love to meander through a garden it helps me to look at photos of gardens (Pinterest is great for this) or simply create my own flowers with embroidery thread. It is easy to imagine the sweet scent of the roses I am creating.

Amelia Thimble has a little dress and hat set to show you today. It is sprinkled with softly colored embroidered pastel flowers.

Amelia wants to know if you can smell the flowers too.

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.

Some Hugs

…from dear, sweet, Patience.

It’s been a while since my Patience has been featured in a post and I was starting to feel bad. Am I a bad doll mom? Maybe…ugh…okay, okay, no more guilt.

Here she is…

…in all of her whimsical cuteness!

I think this ensemble matches Patience’s personality perfectly, don’t you? The sunny and warm cotton print features lots and lots of different heart motifs and little lovey dovey birdies, such fun to look at, if you can take your eyes off of her cute face, that is.

Patience’s dress looks pretty without the cardigan too.

You won’t see too many of my crocheted pieces with embroidery. For me, embroidering on crochet is touch and go because the crocheted fabric is “bumpy” and it’s hard to get the stitches to lay on top of the fabric. However, when the pieces work out, like this headband, I really like the look.
