“Rosy Cute” for Pukipuki

Little Sugar pestered me today and asked me if it wasn’t about time that her new dress be put on my website. It seems that the Little Darlings and Penny have been getting all of the attention for the entire month of January. Hmm… I wonder how long before the other girls will be in an uproar too. I had better start making things more fair around here.

Without further ado, here is Sugar looking as sweet as can be. Her tiny dress is hand knit with a lace weight tonal alpaca/silk yarn and embroidered with rosy roses, plum floral sprays, and tiny white buds. She even has a little bouquet just for you.

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.

One More Fall Ensemble

9 Replies

I have one more fall ensemble and my Little Darling, Gina, is the lucky recipient before I go full steam ahead and create ensembles for Christmas and the holiday season.

I guess fall 2015 is the season of purples. Here’s another ensemble with a shade of lavender and pink, but this one is different. I don’t think I have ever seen a pink like this—cool, but muted. Usually, muted pinks go towards the peach and this one doesn’t at all, nor is it a sweet pink. It is so hard to explain; if I were to mix it up I’d take red and white to make pure pink, add a touch of blue to cool it down, then add a bit of yellow, so it becomes a neutral. Anyway, it is a very pretty and unique shade of pink.

I happened to have the perfect shade of muted lavender wool which matches the stems and vines in the print. For the embroidery, I brought in the merlot color for the colonial knot berries and a coordinating shade of the pink for the bullion, lazy daisy, and back stitched vines and leaves.

I also had the perfectly coordinating shade of merlot heather wool to make a cozy scarf. The scarf can be worn different ways.

Gina didn’t want flowers to hold, she wanted a soft and cuddly teddy bear, so I found this one in a burgundy red and knit him up his own muted lavender scarf with fringe. The scarf is removable too.

This print is very feminine, so lace accents and pearls went nicely with it.
