Happy Valentine’s Day from Patience

Patience is so happy to have a Valentine’s Day ensemble to model for you. Isn’t she “LOVE”ly in it? This festive outfit features all of the requisite Valentine’s Day colors, shades of red and pink, and ivory. Delicate English cotton cluny lace decorates the hemline. There are lots of hand embroidered hearts in this outfit, the crocheted headband alone has a dozen. To get all of the pieces to coordinate to my liking I hand dyed (and custom mixed most dyes) the silk ribbon, Peruvian Highland wool for the sweater, cotton fabric to match the heart print’s background, and cotton Lycra for the tights.

Patience’s little bracelet is made with freshwater pearls. Here’s a close up of the lace, isn’t it delicate?

A dozen hearts in five different shades are embroidered on Patience’s headband. A “corsage” of hearts adorns her shoulder.

Patience wants to be your Valentine.

Santa’s New Little Helper

Santa has a new elf, Fairyland’s Pukipuki, Sugar. She is only 1 cm taller than Amelia Thimble, but has a wider body style. She is still pretty tiny, but super poseable! Even though her feet are so teeny tiny there are magnets in there so it’s a cinch to have her stand. If you look closely at my photos you can see the outline of a metal lid under my white sheet. Her magnets still work through the sheet and her plastic Kelly shoes. These are the original Kelly doll shoes and fit nice and snug. There are also a set of magnets in her hands so the metal bell at the tip of her Santa hat sits on her open palm. My Pukipuki Sugar wanted a set to match Amelia Thimble’s so I made her one to match “Green for the Season”.

Christmas is right around the corner and I am beginning to realize that holiday costume creating time is starting to dwindle. 😦

Here are two more sets for Amelia Thimble and Izzy. For more information on these two sets, please visit my website.

Here are a couple of photos I took during the photo shoot for my Christmas sets. I thought that these would be all I’d have a chance to make, but I am still working on a few more.
