Talyssa is “My Golden Girl”

After seeing Talyssa in this golden yellow ensemble I pronounced her to be my golden girl because she looks beautiful in golden yellows. Fair skinned Talyssa has a beautiful ivory skin tone that definitely prefers certain colors and I think that this is one of them.

This is Talyssa’s first ruffled skirt. I think it fits Talyssa’s personality nicely; she is such a girly girl.

This is my last color to use of my vintage pillowcase looking fabric. You can see the other sets I made with this print in the other colorways here, here, here. I still have a bit more of each, so hopefully can make (at least) one more dress in each color.

Summer Means Lots of “Blue Skies, Sunny Days”

7 Replies

A picture perfect blue sky along with a sunny day is the kind of summer day I had during this photo shoot with Millie. It was a pleasure being outside and taking these pictures of her. I thought she looked lovely outdoors.

Millie finally got her very own light as a feather mohair/silk embroidered sweater. It is embroidered with sunny yellow roses and blue colonial knot sprays of flowers.

Millie is wearing her new wig that I ordered just for this ensemble. It is a mohair bob from Kemper. You can see it here. I needed to play hair dresser and trim it a bit because it was way long. Trimming the wig was actually quite easy to do.

Using the pool as a back drop added the most gorgeous turquoise color behind Millie. Secretly, I think she wished she could take a dip in the cool water.

Millie has a golden yellow blossom for you that she picked from the garden while we were outside. Isn’t she a sweetheart?

A New Knit Dress Ensemble for the Little Darlings

10 Replies

Phew, it feels GREAT to have gotten something completed today and the Little Darlings get something new…yes, again. I finished something new for Millie mid week, but felt that I really needed another wig so that the ensemble looked its best for the photo shoot. So, poor Millie is in limbo right now waiting for the mail service to do its work.

I spent a day and a half this past week working on a new styled dress for Talyssa. I am so HAPPY with how the dress looks on her and will finish up the other pieces of her ensemble this coming week so she can model it for you.

And, here is Gina, my Little Darling, modeling “Summer Blooms” which I put the finishing touches on this morning. I actually started knitting this sweater dress two weeks ago. These little babies take awhile to knit (remember they have over 10,000 stitches in each dress), so I would pick it up between projects. If I didn’t work on it this way, I would really feel like nothing was getting completed. If you’d like to read about my first fine gauge sweater dress that I made for the Little Darlings you can find it HERE and HERE is the second one that I made for them. I added a crocheted cap to this one; it seemed like the perfect summery touch for this ensemble.
