Let’s All “Make a Christmas Wish”

Close your eyes right now and make a Christmas wish with Millie. I think that if we all wish (or pray) for peace, love, sharing, caring, and all things good there might be more of that this holiday season. All of those positive thoughts being put out there has to yield positive results, right?

I’d like to introduce you to my newest sweetie, Millie. She is a sunkissed slim mini BJD by Kaye Wiggs. At the moment she has Glib light green grey eyes and is wearing a carrot red Giselle mohair wig from Kemper. She is ever so sweet and just makes me smile whenever I look at her!

Her very first outfit to model is called “Make a Christmas Wish” which she is happy to show you now. Personally I think she is having too much fun with the magic wand. You know how little girls are with glitter.

This outfit is available for sale on my website and to start off the sharing this season I will donate $75 of the purchase price to the Make a Wish America foundation in the purchaser’s name. Make a Wish will even send you a thank you card.

Millie and I hope all of your Christmas wishes come true!

Helping the Clauses

Well, no, not those Clauses!

It’s Gina’s Grandma and Grandpa. They are dressing up as Santa and Mrs. Claus for Gina’s school Christmas bazaar and Gina gets to help pass out candy canes to all of Santa’s (Grandpa’s) little visitors. Gina has the perfect outfit for her important job. The dress is a print of pin dots in minty colors and her Santa hat and jacket are the all important finishing touch. Gina even has her hair styled like Mrs. Claus (Grandma), without the grey, of course.

She is ready, don’t you think?

“Autumn Leaves in Color” for the Little Darlings

10 Replies

Gina is here to show off another autumn ensemble (this is my last for the Little Darlings) that I have made for her. I fell in love with this tiny oak leaf cotton print and just had to buy it to make a fall dress for a certain sweetie. The colors of the leaves in pumpkin, warm red, greens, and greys are so pretty.

This vintage styled headband (hat) design was floating around in my head and seemed to work nicely with the ensemble. I designed the sweater with sleeves wide enough to go over the dress and a tad bit shorter to let the dress’s sleeves peek out a bit.

Wool felt leaf appliques are hand cut and embroidered onto the sweater and headband. Do you like my tiny acorns? They are bronze Czech glass crystals with a curved bullion stitch at the top.

At the top of the lace are alternating hand sewn 14k gold filled beads and topaz colored seed beads.

I have been trying on and off to make a sleeved dress pattern where I can neatly hide those raw edges and not drive myself crazy in the process. Finally…I did it. The armhole sleeve seam allowances are tucked underneath the lining which is hand stitched and the sleeve’s hems and underarm seams are doubled over and hand stitched. The result is an inside with no seam allowances or raw edges showing. I know, you’re probably thinking I’m crazy, right? These little things make me happy, sorry.
