A “Sweet Princess”

Dianna Effner’s Little Darling dolls are like tiny little princesses when they’re all dressed up! Lucy is here today to bring a smile to your morning (or afternoon)… I hope so, anyway. Rain or shine, this Little Darling always has a sweet smile waiting for me each and every day.

This is the second ensemble I’ve made using this beautiful rose print from Japan. The first was on an ivory background. You can see it here. This particular colorway has a pastel lilac-y pink background. My cool pink mohair yarn coordinated perfectly with this cool colored background.

The Past Seven (or so) Days

I’ve been hogging the limelight with new ensembles all week long, so here are some casual shots from the week that you might enjoy looking at.

As you can see, I am still in a pink mood. Aren’t all of these pink rose prints lovely? A couple are new and three of them were used last year, but I still have LOTS more to make more dresses with. I like laying them out in a little collection for a few days.

The peach pink rose print pictured above is being made into a dress to go with this cardigan for Patience.

After my last couple of embroidery projects I was left with quite a mess. It’s all cleaned up now, but I’ve begun a new mess. 😳

Here is Lucy’s dress in progress. You are looking at the wrong side that’s why it is looking so washed out. It is a lilac-y pink rose print. Here is Lucy wearing the dress. One of the mohair sweaters that I knit in January will be embroidered to go with this dress.

I needed a little bit of cheering up on this dreary Monday morning; Lucy did the trick.

Lucy borrowed the carrot red mohair wig from Penny and wears it quite well too. I’m not sure who wears it better. Below is a picture of Penny during our photo shoot for “Pretty in Purples”.
