A Sunny Day

Well, I’m calling it a sunny day because the sun was out for about an hour this afternoon. It has been such a cloudy winter that one hour of sun cannot go unnoticed, can it? I was sitting in my studio finishing up a cardigan for Talyssa when the latent sun made it’s fleeting appearance.

Anyway, cloudy days are a good thing since Groundhog Day is 8 days away. Besides, I don’t think there have been many days in either December or January that the groundhog would have seen his shadow here in northern Illinois. Will spring be early or has winter not really started yet?

I’m counting on an early spring…a very early spring! How about you?

Here is Amelia Thimble modeling her “sunny” yellow dress/hat set which is just perfect for today’s bit of sun. The knit dress has an embroidered wreath of roses encircling the dropped waistline and her crocheted hat keeps the sun out of her eyes.

Amelia is making friends with one of the stuffed “studio” bunnies. Maybe she’s hoping that this one is the Easter Bunny.

Buttering up the bunny! Kiss! Kiss!

Mid Winter Floral Imagining

12 Replies

It’s no surprise that I LOVE flowers, right? I embroider them on my doll clothes and gravitate towards floral fabrics. Even when I designed cross stitch patterns my patterns were of flowers.

From when I was very young I loved flowers and there are even photos to prove it. Here are two pictures of me smelling the roses (or trying to). You’ll notice in one picture I have a death grip on my Barbie doll. Yes, my passions started young.

In the middle of winter when I would love to meander through a garden it helps me to look at photos of gardens (Pinterest is great for this) or simply create my own flowers with embroidery thread. It is easy to imagine the sweet scent of the roses I am creating.

Amelia Thimble has a little dress and hat set to show you today. It is sprinkled with softly colored embroidered pastel flowers.

Amelia wants to know if you can smell the flowers too.

A Bit of Spring Dreaming is Going On Here

All it takes is an above freezing day or two in January to get me thinking (and dreaming) of spring. Oh, how I love spring with the scent of blossoms in the air, buds on the trees, new colors and tiny plants appearing daily!

Sigh…I know…this wonderfulness is a way off yet. Still I dream, of spring.

Amelia Thimble is here modeling a spring dress and bonnet to help you start to dream of spring too.
