“You Are My Sunshine”

My sweet and sunny Talyssa is here to show you her new springtime outfit and I’m hoping that she is bringing the sunshine with her too. We can never have too much sunshine, can we?

My Talyssa is a fair skinned Kaye Wiggs doll and I must say that these colors look beautiful on her. As soon as I put this piece of fabric next to her face I knew that this print would be for her. She looks the best in warm and bright colors. Oh, what a cutie pie she is!I made Talyssa a little basket where she can put the tiny blossoms that she finds while out and about. It’s no secret that my dolls love to collect flowers, is it?

Her light and airy crocheted hat keeps the bright sun out of her eyes.

While I was taking these pictures of her I was reminded of Anne of Green Gables.

Strolling Through the Garden with Patience

5 Replies

On a beautiful spring day it is hard to resist Mother Nature. She beckons to us with her warm sun, gentle breezes, and surprises blooming outside. It was a day like this for us in northern Illinois on Friday. As much as I wanted to stay inside and work, work, work, I couldn’t resist. I had a lovely walk soaking up the warm sun and discovering all of the new things growing outside.

Patience loves to get outside on a spring day too. I took her picture in front of our pink magnolia tree that is in bloom. I didn’t plan it, but the ensemble that I just completed for her was perfect for photos.

This Past Week

Here are a couple of shots from inside my studio this past week. My desk photo shows my two projects that I had going on towards the end of the week. Patience’s outfit is finished, but I am still knitting the dress for the Little Darlings; lots of stitches in this one. Amelia Thimble and Izzy have been hanging out with Bella (my Bo Bergemann Dream Doll). She is happy to have the little ones to keep her company.

This weather this past week in northern Illinois was quite perfect. Some days were a bit warmer than others, but all were sunny! Since yesterday felt like summer I had to get out for a nice long walk. I brought along my iPhone to capture spring’s progress out and about.

This weeping willow looked so pretty with its yellow green buds against the blue sky. I found clumps of squill growing along the side of the road; they’re so tiny and blue.

These are our daffodils in full bloom.

Our largest magnolia tree looks snowy when in bloom.

I love our pink magnolia tree, the blossom’s colors are gorgeous. Today I finished Patience’s outfit and thought the tree would be the perfect backdrop for a couple of photos.
