The Parade of Sweetness Continues…

Yesterday it was, “All Sugar and Spice”, and today it is, “And Everything Nice” for the Little Darlings.

Gina’s dress is a drop waist style with slight puffed sleeves. The dress is hand knit in a blush pink Peruvian Highland wool yarn with many shades of pinks and reds used for the bullion stitched rose embroidery. I embroidered the motifs in an asymmetrical composition where the drop waist begins.

Here is a closeup of the embroidery I did on Gina’s dress.

The back of the dress buttons with raspberry colored glass pearls lined up all the way down to the hemline.

Did you see Gina and Patsy together? They have become good pals and both of them have made me promise that they will get to have more fun together again.

One more photo of sweet Gina in her new dress…

Gina and I both hope you enjoyed seeing her in her cozy new sweater dress.

Have a great Sunday! Fall is in the air!

Bye for now!

Finally, for Patsy

It’s been about two years since I’ve made something for poor Patsy. She is such a good sport though, and didn’t hold a grudge against me. Look at how she shines in her new sweater dress ensemble! She looks happy to be modeling again, doesn’t she?

This ensemble will also fit Tonner’s 10″ Ann Estelle and her friends. By the way, did you see Mary Engelbreit’s post about Ann Estelle dolls? Here is the link to my Facebook page where I shared her post. Ann Estelle and Sophie were favorites of so many for quite a while; it would be fun if they were being made again.

There was a slight crispness in the air today, so sweater weather is starting here in northern Illinois.

Hope you enjoyed seeing Patsy’s new sweater dress ensemble. Bye for now and thanks for stopping by.

I’ve Been Busy…

I just realized that I haven’t had a blog post in September yet. Yikes!

I have been busy though, really I have.

Here’s what’s been going on here in my creative little world. We had some cooler weather a few weeks ago and that got me in the sweater weather mood. However, it seemed as soon as I started knitting the first cozy sweater dress, hot and humid July weather came along and stayed for a couple of weeks, but I persevered and kept knitting anyway. Yesterday, the hot weather broke and it is slowly getting cooler. It is still quite humid though. Anyway, I am collecting a stash of sweater dresses, so will have a bunch for sale one after another probably, so stay tuned.

I’ve made a sweater dress for Patsy, (I know it’s a shocker) and am finishing up one for the Little Darlings (the embroidery is pictured below). Also, I am almost finished knitting a sweater dress for Millie (see the grape colored knitting below).

I have some tiny pumpkin dress/hat sets made for Amelia Thimble and Pukipuki, but am waiting to get another one completed too.

Above is the embroidery on a drop waist sweater dress for the Little Darlings. I pulled the bead pictured below for a possible bracelet.

The grape colored dress is for Millie and the tiny orange one on the needles is for Amelia Thimble.

See, I have been busy! Thanks for hanging in there with me. I’ll be back soon with some completed things to show you. Hope you’re enjoying the month of September and these last couple of weeks of the summer season.
