It’s Starting to Feel a Bit Like Halloween

I’ve been pulling out my orange fabrics and embroidery threads, mixing up different shades of orange dye for my wool, and buying tiny pumpkins and candy corn for photo shoots. So here in my studio it is “starting to feel a bit like Halloween” even though it is still over a month away.

I made three teeny tiny dresses for Amelia Thimble. I custom mixed and hand dyed all the oranges for these dresses. The embroidery took some thought. It was a challenge figuring out how to embroider pumpkins and candy corn. The first dress coordinates with an outfit I made for Wilde Imagination’s new Patience doll. See pics below Amelia.

Here is Patience in her new outfit. I absolutely love this new doll. I wish there was more time in the day. There are so many things I would like to make for her.

And, there is Amelia being a bit of a rascal again. Patience is appropriately named and puts up with all of Amelia’s shenanigans.

Amelia is a helpful rascal. Here she is showing off Patience’s sweater.

Amelia Thimble’s Everlasting Garden Dresses

Remember that handful of dresses in one of the previous posts? Well, here they are completed. I needed to photograph the dresses as a group. I am a color nut and love seeing them all together. Just yummy!!!

I took a picture of all of the hats together too. I have these small old wooden spools of silk thread and thimbles. They show just how tiny these hat are.

Here are some pictures of Amelia modeling the dresses.

By the time she had on the 4th dress she needed a break and sat down. I really couldn’t get her to stand up anymore. (honest)

Then, after a pep talk from me she put on the last dress and gave me a beautiful, if tired smile. She had quite a day.

Amelia Thimble in the Apple Tree

6 Replies

There’s been a lot of excitement over here having to do with our apple tree. After six seasons living here (the tree is much older) we have apples. Now they are not the most beautiful apples, but they are apples that we can actually eat. Anyway, teeny tiny 4″ Amelia Thimble couldn’t contain the excitement in her bitsy doll body and wanted to experience the apple tree for herself. She is such an agile little thing and held on tight the whole time. I grabbed some pictures of her climbing amongst the apples. Thought I’d share these with you. She looks quite proud of herself, doesn’t she?
