“Strawberry Roses”

Strawberry colored roses that is… on a lemonade background.

Patience’s dress is mad with a teensy tiny rose/rosebud print, so very dainty and sweet. The background is a soft yellow, not lemony, but not sunshiny either. It’s simply a soft yellow, just perfect, and I love it. There are white pin dots scattered on the yellow background too. Isn’t it a sweet print?

I dyed rayon ribbon and cotton lace to a warm pink color. It works with the yellow very nicely. The lace is a tassel styled cotton Cluny lace from England. The ribbons are rayon.

Patience’s cardigan sweater is hand knit with a warm pink heathered merino lace weight wool. Two coordinating rose bouquet motifs are embroidered on the cardigan’s front panels. The sweater can be worn open or closed with the glass pearl bead buttons.

I hope you all have a great day!

Who would like to have a picnic in the garden with sweet Lucy? She’s all ready for a happy outing, and is bringing the sweets!

Lucy is wearing a most appropriate dress printed with roses and other pretty blossoms. The dress is a drop waist style with a pink ribbon tied around the waist.

A lace merino wool sweater in lace weight heathered aqua covers her shoulders in case it gets a little cool, or they find the perfect picnic spot in the shade. Bullion stitched embroidered rose motifs are scattered on the front of the sweater which can be worn open or closed.

Lucy is bringing to the picnic the yummiest of sweets: an iced donut, a flower-shaped cookie, and an iced strawberry sweet roll. I promise these are calorie free! They all fit into her crocheted picnic basket, and can nestle inside the little rosy cotton lawn napkin.

A crocheted headband with bow, panties (also with a bow), anklets, and bracelet complete Lucy’s “Garden Picnic” ensemble.

Pink or lilac . . . lilac or pink. When you simply cannot choose, choose this lovely print. Pink and lilac are given equal billing on this Japanese cotton fabric with its tiny blossoms. I love how their done in a washy watercolor style.

Lucy’s light as a feather bolero is hand knit with mohair/silk lace weight yarn. This is a new style for me. It has a slightly rounded front edge and a crocheted ruffly edging around the opening. Embroidered roses are scattered along the neckline in two shades of pink and two shades of lilac.

The crocheted basket holds a tiny bouquet of lilac blossoms tied with a pink ribbon. A crocheted beaded headband with bow adds a bit of sparkle. Anklets, lilac panties with a bow, and a beaded bracelet complete this pink and lilac ensemble.
