Let’s All “Make a Christmas Wish”

Close your eyes right now and make a Christmas wish with Millie. I think that if we all wish (or pray) for peace, love, sharing, caring, and all things good there might be more of that this holiday season. All of those positive thoughts being put out there has to yield positive results, right?

I’d like to introduce you to my newest sweetie, Millie. She is a sunkissed slim mini BJD by Kaye Wiggs. At the moment she has Glib light green grey eyes and is wearing a carrot red Giselle mohair wig from Kemper. She is ever so sweet and just makes me smile whenever I look at her!

Her very first outfit to model is called “Make a Christmas Wish” which she is happy to show you now. Personally I think she is having too much fun with the magic wand. You know how little girls are with glitter.

This outfit is available for sale on my website and to start off the sharing this season I will donate $75 of the purchase price to the Make a Wish America foundation in the purchaser’s name. Make a Wish will even send you a thank you card.

For more information on Millie’s “Make a Christmas Wish” outfit please visit the “Available for Sale” page on cindyricedesigns.com.

Millie and I hope all of your Christmas wishes come true!

Pukipuki is Here to Welcome the Holiday Season

5 Replies

Okay, I know it is early. Halloween was three days ago…! By the time Thanksgiving gets here, though, I think we will want to have some idea about what our doll displays will look like, no? I must confess that I actually started making things for Christmas in July. While I was enjoying the hot Florida sun I was knitting Santa hats and I am glad I did because time seems to be slipping away already.

So to welcome the season here is my Pukipuki Sugar. She is wearing a winter white hand knit and daintily embroidered dress in a mohair/silk yarn. On her head is a ruby red Santa hat with fuzzy trim. If you listen closely you can hear the tinkling of the little bell which magically sticks to her hand (oops sorry, no magic here, there are magnets in Pukipuki’s hands).

Here is a closeup of the embroidery. It is quite tiny. Two different varieties of evergreen boughs and berries, and tiny embroidered bows encircle the waistline of this dress.

With love (blowing kisses) from my tiny Pukipuki Sugar. For more information on this outfit please visit my website,

Violas or Johnny-Jump Ups

Sow a packet of Violas one time in your garden and every year they will gift you with more and more tiny plants without any ~~work~~ help from you. What I find so fascinating about these tiny pansy-like flowers is that one basic heirloom variety begets many different color combinations. So, if you are a pansyaholic, enjoy shades of purple, and love surprises in your garden throw down a packet of these in the spring and enjoy for years to come.

The violas growing in my garden inspired me to create this little dress for my Fairyland Pukipuki Sugar. I used bullion stitch, colonial knots, lazy daisy, back stitch, and oyster stitches to create the embroidery on this hand knit lilac bamboo dress.
