Patience in Purple Roses

Do you know the meaning of purple roses? I must confess that I didn’t even think purple roses actually existed so I googled purple roses and read about them here. They are real, a human invention, but they do exist.

Purple roses convey enchantment and enthrallment which is definitely how I felt about Patience the very first time I caught a glimpse of her. Who better to wear my new doll ensemble featuring this beautiful fabric of purple roses.

Even though the word enchantment by definition can be fleeting, I am still much enchanted with Patience, aren’t you?

Things Are Looking “Love-ly” Around the Studio

Hearts…and roses…and chocolate (yum)…and everything pink and red…

You know the day…Valentine’s Day, and it’s fast approaching.

Ever since I finished up Christmas and winter outfits for the girls I’ve been surrounded by pink and red fabric, yarn, embroidery thread, beads, and all kinds of heart motifs. I love these pretty things in the middle of winter.

My Kaye Wiggs Millie is here to show you her brand new embroidered sweater dress, striped tights, pink hair bow, and bracelet set. The creation of this outfit actually started with the striped tights which left Millie sitting around wearing not much else until the sweater dress was finished. The poor girl got a bit chilly, I think, but she didn’t complain.

The dress is hand knit in natural Peruvian Highland wool and embroidered with pink/red bullion stitched roses and rosebuds, two kinds of sky blue beads, and a delicate strand of neutral green thread for the leaves and stems. Millie has a rosy pink knitted headband that ties in a bow to hold back her long, beautiful blonde locks. A pink bugle bead bracelet with a heart and rose dangling from it complete this outfit.

Millie wishes you a “love-ly” week!

“A Toasty Warm Autumn” for the Little Darlings

8 Replies

This new 8-piece ensemble called “A Toasty Warm Autumn” will keep every Little Darling who lives in a cooler climate cozy and warm throughout the fall months. The hand knitwear (sweater, hat, scarf) are all made with Peruvian Highland wool. The sweater is a bit longer length and the hat has cute ear flaps for those chilly brisk days. I found that when I keep my neck warm I stay warm so I made a generous scarf to wrap around the Little Darlings neck to help her stay warm too.

Even though it is fall, if you look closely enough you might still be able to find a few blossoms blooming. Gina made a small bouquet with the blossoms she found. A pretty blue silk bow is attached to the bouquet along with an elastic cord to help the Little Darlings hold it in their cute little hands.

The fine wale cotton corduroy dress can be dressed up with jewelry and a hair bow.

Most of the fullness in this drop waisted dress is towards the back and sides which give a bustled look to the back of the skirt.

The squirrels here in northern Illinois have been so busy collecting acorns that it got me thinking that I had better get busy with some cool weather wear. What do you think? Will it be another cold fall/winter?
