Some Hugs

…from dear, sweet, Patience.

It’s been a while since my Patience has been featured in a post and I was starting to feel bad. Am I a bad doll mom? Maybe…ugh…okay, okay, no more guilt.

Here she is…

…in all of her whimsical cuteness!

I think this ensemble matches Patience’s personality perfectly, don’t you? The sunny and warm cotton print features lots and lots of different heart motifs and little lovey dovey birdies, such fun to look at, if you can take your eyes off of her cute face, that is.

Patience’s dress looks pretty without the cardigan too.

You won’t see too many of my crocheted pieces with embroidery. For me, embroidering on crochet is touch and go because the crocheted fabric is “bumpy” and it’s hard to get the stitches to lay on top of the fabric. However, when the pieces work out, like this headband, I really like the look.

“Hello”, says Sugar. “Thanks for stopping by to see my new play set. My favorite piece is the slouch hat…

…and the colorful leggings…

…and the cozy sweater…

…and the “Love” necklace. Oh, yeah, the bracelet is fun too!”

What a precocious little one Sugar is! Hope she doesn’t walk away with your heart too. She’s already got mine.

It’s My Little Darling, Gina’s Turn

…for a Valentine’s Day sweater dress.

Don’t you think this is the perfect time of year for cozy and pretty knit dresses? They are so comfy, easy to wear, and they keep you nice and toasty warm.

“Sweethearts and Roses”, Gina’s new outfit, started out with her tights. I’ve had this cotton knit for years and have never got around to using it. It is really a sweet print with lots of different hearts in pinks and reds. There’s even a bit of silver in there for a touch of little girl sparkle. I matched my yarn to the warm pink hearts and knit up an a-line dress that is short enough to let those tights look, oh, so cute. I embroidered two large asymmetrical groups of roses, rosebuds, and hearts at the dropped waistline. Extra pops of color are added with a touch of bright lavender and light yellow green. You’ll find more hearts and love for you in Gina’s jewelry. Her simple grosgrain headband snaps in back so it doesn’t need to be retied each time.
