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.

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.

My Princess in Pink

I want to share with you an ensemble that I just finished for Dianna Effner’s Little Darlings.  It is pure pink princessy-ness;  a color that all (well, most) little princesses love.

For the Fun of It

The fabric that I used to make Talyssa’s new dress is pure fun and sunshine.  Even the fabric has a fun name—Posy Swirl.  When I saw it, I knew immediately that I wanted to use it to create an ensemble for one of my girls (dolls).  I had my youthful and sweet Talyssa in mind right from the start.  When I showed her the fabric, she did indeed love it too.
