Another Springtime Sweater Dress for the Little Darlings

I loved the last sweater dress that I made for the Little Darlings so much that I immediately started on another one. This one is in pink and also has 10,000+ stitches.

As I was working on the embroidery for this dress I felt as if I were drawing (or painting) with a needle and thread. The first half of the top motif and the first half of the waistline motif (the second half is mirrored) went bit by bit as I was trying to achieve good color balance and a pleasing floral composition. Sometimes my motifs take longer to work out and this one did indeed take longer.

The embroidery may have been painstaking, but I am very pleased with the end result. The motifs are feminine, colorful, balanced and flow smoothly along the waistline, so mission accomplished.

Puki’s Playtime

My little Pukipuki and I had a playful and fun photo shoot this week. I love working with this little one. She has never had a tantrum and takes direction very well. Of course, she was all smiles when I brought out the teddy bears and the huggable pillow puppy. And…she always loves sitting on the little twig bench that I bought for the fairies who visit our garden.

Bye for now! Love, Sugar! ❤

“You Are My Sunshine”

My sweet and sunny Talyssa is here to show you her new springtime outfit and I’m hoping that she is bringing the sunshine with her too. We can never have too much sunshine, can we?

My Talyssa is a fair skinned Kaye Wiggs doll and I must say that these colors look beautiful on her. As soon as I put this piece of fabric next to her face I knew that this print would be for her. She looks the best in warm and bright colors. Oh, what a cutie pie she is!I made Talyssa a little basket where she can put the tiny blossoms that she finds while out and about. It’s no secret that my dolls love to collect flowers, is it?
