A “Winter Garden” for the Little Darlings

I enjoy creating my own embroidered gardens during these cold winter months.  The flowers in these gardens will not get frost bite when the winter winds blow.

Gina’s cozy winter dress is hand knit with bright pink Peruvian Highland wool.  This a-line style fits her perfectly to show off her cute little girl dolly self.  The embroidery on this dress is mirrored, so the right and left sides are the same, but opposite each other.  At the hemline you’ll find a tiny rose bouquet at the center of the skirt with mirrored rose motifs on either side.  I embroidered roses in two pink families, one warmer pink than the other.  Lavender-like sprays, white buds, and greenery add more color to Gina’s garden.

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.

 

Christmas Creating is Finished for 2015

Last night I sold my last Christmas ensemble of the season and put away my Christmas fabric.  I’ve been working on Christmas sets since… September 14?  Is that right?  Yep, that’s when I published this post here.  I didn’t think I started that early!  I did make one fall outfit in the middle of it all, but still three months is a long time to be working on Christmas things.  I am ready for a change.

I made a little collage of all of my Christmas ensembles.  This is way beyond what I normally get done in a Christmas season.  My dolls are now all naked, so, by my standards, this Christmas season was a success.

If you’d like to see more pictures of each outfit they are all in the slideshow on my website’s home page.  You can click on the photo in the slideshow and be taken to that individual outfit’s sales page.  Here is my website.

Thank you all for reading my blog, keeping me company, and being such wonderful cheerleaders!  I treasure you all!
