More Springlike Thoughts Coming Your Way

Little Amelia Thimble is here today to bring you a bit of springlike cheer.  Sorry, but a bit is all she can bring being that she is only 4 inches tall.  Nevertheless, I’ll take every tiny bit of springlike cheer that comes my way.

What’s Up with White?

White is in the air.  Is it the snow?  Is it the endless stream of cloudy days?

Last week I got this idea to knit up some Amelia dresses in different whites using different fibers.  Then, I thought it would be fun to crochet up some springtime hats in white as a basic to go with lots of different colored dresses.  Jeanne over at I Dream of Jeanne Marie posted about her white American Girl doll dresses on Friday (1-30-15).  See, it’s all about white.

Giving a person who loves color an exercise of working solely with white is very difficult.  I realized that when I design an ensemble my number one thoughts are about color and how to coordinate all of the colors together.  When I started working only with white I had to think of other options such as texture and embellishments.  It took me a while to get in the swing of things, but I eventually figured it out and learned a few things from this exercise.

It’s funny though, by the time I got to the fourth hat I had to sneak in a bit of pink.

Something (New) for the Little Darlings

Have you ever had a project that just didn’t seem to get totally and completely finished, which for me means getting it onto my website?  “Cozy & Bright” for the Little Darlings is “it” for me.  This outfit was made and I even took some photos way back….yes, before I went on vacation…in the summer!!!  When I got back from vacation I felt this frenzy to make fall outfits, then Christmas outfits, then some Valentine’s Day outfits.  Which brings me to where I am right now.  I thought that if this poor ensemble for our Little Darlings didn’t get on my website now the Easter and spring season would push this one aside once again.

So without further ado here is Gina (finally) modeling her “Cozy & Bright” outfit for you.

And, no, it doesn’t look like this outside now.  I wish…!
