Patsy in “Holiday Holly”

Here is my Patsy modeling her first ever Christmas ensemble made for her by me! This Christmas ensemble will also fit 10″ Ann Estelle and her friends.

Patsy is wearing a long sleeved mohair/silk hand knit sweater in a warm white. Six hand embroidered motifs decorate the sweater with the right and left sides mirroring each other.

The dress is made out of a bright red and green festive yet delicate pin dot cotton. A bright red hand embroidered organza ribbon ties around the waistline with a row of fine English cotton Cluny lace slid underneath a tuck on the skirt.

Will you let Patsy hang her Christmas ornament on your Christmas tree?

Patience is “Preparing for Christmas”

6 Replies

This cute little elf is ready… ready to start preparing for the holidays that is. Patience says there’s nothing like donning a Santa hat to get in the holiday spirit. She thinks everyone should give it a try.

I guess I’ve been hoarding this Christmas fat quarter cotton print. I’ve had it for years and was inspired to make an ensemble with it this year. The evergreen boughs and ornaments/berries are colorful in a warm and cozy way. I added lots of shiny golden accents to accentuate the golden yellow berries and the light golden background. There are quite a few shades of red in this print; perfect for adding red knitwear and two colors of berries to the sweater and hat embroidery. And, of course, I had to add some pine green for Christmas.

Look! Patience is all ready to help you decorate your tree.

Our “Tiny Holly Helper”

Little Fairyland’s Pukipuki Sugar is here to help with the holiday preparations in any way that she is able, even if it’s just standing around looking cute. BTW, she does that really well, don’t you thin?

Her Christmas set is knit with hand dyed merino lace weight yarn. It photographed brighter and pinker than it actually is, it is a muted berry color. The “fur” trim is knit with mohair/silk lace yarn. I attached little strips of magnets to the back side of the plastic holly charm, so Sugar can hold on to it.
