“Rosy Cute” for Pukipuki

Little Sugar pestered me today and asked me if it wasn’t about time that her new dress be put on my website.  It seems that the Little Darlings and Penny have been getting all of the attention for the entire month of January.  Hmm… I wonder how long before the other girls will be in an uproar too.  I had better start making things more fair around here.

Without further ado, here is Sugar looking as sweet as can be.  Her tiny dress is hand knit with a lace weight tonal alpaca/silk yarn and embroidered with rosy roses, plum floral sprays, and tiny white buds.  She even has a little bouquet just for you.

Sugar loves cuddling with her favorite stuffed animals; they are so soft and cozy.

A Couple of Work-in-Progress Photos

Hi there!  I don’t know if you’ve noticed or not, but not much creating going on with me lately.  Life has pulled me away from my studio for a bit as I’ve been needed elsewhere.  I’ve been getting a little knitting and embroidering done in the last couple of weeks, but don’t have anything completed to show you, sorry.  Here’s a  photo of a sweater dress for the Little Darlings that I managed to get made.  I still have the other pieces of this ensemble to work on, but you can get an idea anyway.  I hope to have it all finished next week.

Oh, I forgot to show you this little dress I made for my Fairyland Pukipuki, Sugar, a couple of weeks ago.  It is knit with a lace weight tonal alpaca/silk, very soft.  This too, will probably be for sale sometime next week.

Bye for now!  Hope you are enjoying this week.

 

“A Merry Welcome”

Seriously everyone, this is absolutely, positively my last Christmas ensemble of 2105!

When I got the shipping confirmation number last Friday night for Linda Macario’s Penny I was in shock.  It had been so long since I preordered Penny that I had stopped expecting her to show up any time soon.  I didn’t think she’d be my Christmas doll, that’s for sure.

So, when Penny arrived on Monday I thought that she’s GOT to have a Christmas ensemble for her first Christmas.  In between baking cookies, wrapping up boxes to send to long distance relatives, Christmas shopping, chauffeuring (school is still in session), and everything else, I managed to get something made for her.

Without further ado, here is Linda Macario’s new BJD, Penny.  She is about 8 1/2″ tall and very chubby and cute.  She reminds me of a Christmas elf.  Luckily, I had a Little Darling Santa hat that I ended up not using for the Little Darlings “I Love Rudolph” set; Penny claimed it as her own when she saw it.  She also took one of their wigs.  And, … she took Talyssa’s beautiful green eyes.  Now, that sounds grotesque, but that is the life of a BJD.  I need to order more eyes.

It was a cold day and quite windy so I only took a few photos of Penny outdoors before heading inside.a merry welcome 400a merry welcome 397

Thank you for helping me welcome Penny into the world.  I think she’ll like it here.
