Happy Valentine’s Day from Patience

Patience is so happy to have a Valentine’s Day ensemble to model for you. Isn’t she “LOVE”ly in it? This festive outfit features all of the requisite Valentine’s Day colors, shades of red and pink, and ivory. Delicate English cotton cluny lace decorates the hemline. There are lots of hand embroidered hearts in this outfit, the crocheted headband alone has a dozen. To get all of the pieces to coordinate to my liking I hand dyed (and custom mixed most dyes) the silk ribbon, Peruvian Highland wool for the sweater, cotton fabric to match the heart print’s background, and cotton Lycra for the tights.

Patience’s little bracelet is made with freshwater pearls. Here’s a close up of the lace, isn’t it delicate?

A dozen hearts in five different shades are embroidered on Patience’s headband. A “corsage” of hearts adorns her shoulder.

Patience wants to be your Valentine.

One Month Before…Valentine’s Day!

Valentine’s Day is only a month away! I have just finished a huge lot (to me, anyway) of Valentine’s Day sets for Amelia Thimble and Pukipuki. I love the sweet colors for this holiday. There are seven different sets here, two are for Pukipuki and 7 are for Amelia Thimble and Izzy. I used different combinations of yarn types, yarn colors, and warm or cool color palettes. Pukipuki’s dress sets each coordinate with a set for Amelia Thimble and Izzy.

Pukipuki Sugar wants to give you her heart. She is modeling the “Hearts and Roses” set.

This is Amelia Thimble’s dress, “Tiny Valentine”, that coordinates with Pukipuki’s above it.

Izzy loves modeling with one of her favorite cuddly puppies.

Pukipuki Sugar loves her special friends too. Here she is modeling “Hugs ‘n Kisses”.

Izzy’s set, “Cuddly Hearts”, coordinates with Pukipuki’s above.

Some Flowers to Brighten Your Winter Day

I don’t know about all of you, but I am already looking forward to spring. This winter is proving to be quite a doozy. Embroidering flower bouquets in my favorite colors on tiny knits helps to remind me that spring will be here. Hopefully that will be soon. Here are a couple of dress/hat sets that I recently completed for Amelia Thimble and Izzy.
