I’ve Been Busy…

I just realized that I haven’t had a blog post in September yet.  Yikes!

I have been busy though, really I have.

Here’s what’s been going on here in my creative little world.  We had some cooler weather a few weeks ago and that got me in the sweater weather mood.  However, it seemed as soon as I started knitting the first cozy sweater dress, hot and humid July weather came along and stayed for a couple of weeks, but I persevered and kept knitting anyway.  Yesterday, the hot weather broke and it is slowly getting cooler.  It is still quite humid though.  Anyway, I am collecting a stash of sweater dresses, so will have a bunch for sale one after another probably, so stay tuned.

I’ve made a sweater dress for Patsy, (I know it’s a shocker) and am finishing up one for the Little Darlings (the embroidery is pictured below).  Also, I am almost finished knitting a sweater dress for Millie (see the grape colored knitting below).

Above is the embroidery on a drop waist sweater dress for the Little Darlings.  I pulled the bead pictured below for a possible bracelet.

See, I have been busy!  Thanks for hanging in there with me.  I’ll be back soon with some completed things to show you.  Hope you’re enjoying the month of September and these last couple of weeks of the summer season.

“Tiny Punkin”, a dress/hat set for Amelia Thimble

Well, fall is officially here.  Bring on the fall colors!  Here is Amelia Thimble modeling her new fall dress/hat set for you.  It is knit in a hand dyed light shade of pumpkin and hand embroidered with teeny tiny bullion stitched pumpkins, white blossoms, and greenery.  Oh, and every pumpkin needs a perfect little stem.  Amelia’s cap is pumpkin shaped and decorated with more embroidery.

Happy Halloween from Riley, Tulah, and Zsu Zse!

 

20 group halloween 2005These sweet little dolls came to your house to trick-or-treat.  Do you have any candy for them?

I dug this photo out of my archives.  I made these outfits in 2005!  Gosh, I cannot believe it’s been eight years.  The sweaters are crocheted.  I remember making the little candy corn buttons out of artists clay and then painting those tiny pieces with my tubes of acrylic paint.

Back in 2005 (and for the next four years) these Kish littles were primarily the dolls I was dressing.  Botanic Riley was my first “expensive” collector doll.  I cannot remember exactly how much I paid for her, but she was in the low $100’s.  I thought I would never spend more on a doll.  Well, things have sure changed…
