Our “Tiny Holly Helper”

Little Fairyland’s Pukipuki Sugar is here to help with the holiday preparations in any way that she is able, even if it’s just standing around looking cute. BTW, she does that really well, don’t you thin?

Her Christmas set is knit with hand dyed merino lace weight yarn. It photographed brighter and pinker than it actually is, it is a muted berry color. The “fur” trim is knit with mohair/silk lace yarn. I attached little strips of magnets to the back side of the plastic holly charm, so Sugar can hold on to it.

Sugar says thanks for visiting!

Bye for now!

Millie’s “Cozy Christmas Color”

8 Replies

My tiny (11″) Kay Wiggs illie, Millie, is here today modeling her new (and first of the season) Christmas ensemble. Doesn’t she look festive, cozy, and warm?

Millie is so excited to have her very own Santa hat. Millie says she will wear it “all the time” when helping out this holiday season.

Millie’s sweater is knit with mohair/silk lace weight yarn. For the embroidery, I centered the main motifs around the petaled blossom shapes from the dress and embroidered them in a warm pink-y shade (for more distinction they are a shade or two lighter than those on the dress). The berries are colonial knots in a deep berry red that match the dress; the stems and leaves are lazy daisy stitches and straight stitches.

I added off white fine English cotton Cluny lace underneath the tuck on the skirt to help tie in the accents of whites.

Christmas Making is Progressing

I feel that I am finally getting in the Christmas spirit here in the studio. How many weeks has it taken for me to seriously get in the spirit?

Right now I have three dolls in their Christmas ensembles all waiting patiently for photos to be taken. And, speaking of Patience I am working on something for her too.

Here are Gina, Millie, and Sugar all decked out for the holidays. I originally had Gina in a Santa hat, but this ensemble seemed too dressy for it. I like the organza bow in her hair much better. I didn’t have my lighting all set up, so this was taken with the over head florescent lights and a tiny bit of early morning light coming in through the west facing window. You can get an idea anyway. I thought they looked cute all together and wanted to show you.
