May is Going, Going, and Almost Gone! Yikes!

Oh my goodness! Has this month ever flown by!!! Back in mid April I showed you Evianna all dressed up in her new ensemble, “Beautiful in Blue”. I have since finished two more ensembles. See, I have been busy!

The first is for the Little Darlings and Gina is modeling. The second is for the Ruby Red Fashion Friends with Holly modeling. Both are delicate rosy creations with mohair sweaters.

“Pretty in Pink Roses” for the Little Darlings features lots and lots of pink, flowers, and cloud-like softness.

I have said this before, but I’ll say it again. Oh, how I wish this cardigan were for me, but I will have to settle with gazing at this adorable girl wearing it so beautifully.

The pendant is made with a genuine freshwater pearl. It has two length adjustments, choker or midway on the chest. Isn’t that exciting! 😁

Gina’s floral headband and bouquet tells you just how much this girl loves flowers. She may be part flower fairy… hmm.

White mesh tights and a petite heart bracelet complete Gina’s new ensemble.

I think I will show you Holly’s new ensemble in my next post. This post is long enough already! So stay tuned, if you’d like to see that one.

Thank you so much for spending some time with me today! ❤️🤗 Enjoy the rest of your day. I hope it’s a beautiful one.

“Rose Gardens and Green”

Hello, how are you? Spring busted out all over this past week. We went from winter to summer in no time. This past week was that hot! 🌞 After one week the summery weather is through for awhile though. It’s getting cold again, and soon the rain will become snowflakes. It’s so hard to adjust…

Regardless of the temperature variations, everything is greening up, including Lucy’s new cardigan. I am really loving green lately–such a fresh and down-to-earth color.

Here is Lucy’s sweater that I embroidered with pink roses.

And, here is Lucy wearing it with her new spring dress and accessories.

Lucy is my Little Darling, sculpt #3, painted by Helen Skinner. This happy girl reminds me of the smiling Ruby Red Fashion Friends that Dianna Effner sculpted. They never fail to make me feel a bit happier.

I hope you’ve had a wonderful weekend! Wishing you a great week ahead, my friends. Hopefully, your weather will be better than ours. 🤗

Gina is “Ready for Fall” — Are You?

It’s a NO from me!!! The way this year is flying by winter will be here any second now. And it’s no secret that I am NEVER ready for that season. How do you feel about winter? Is it anyone’s favorite season out there? I am in awe of you if it is. It seems to be the longest season, so is a great choice if it is.

Okay, that’s all the talk about winter that I can handle right now. Back to Gina who is prepared for that first crisp day of autumn. Her ensemble colors are in a muted fall palette: peach, blue, yellow green, palest pink.

Gina’s fully lined dress is made out of a moody and warm colored print (Ambleside by Brenda Riddle Designs). The floral shapes remind me of different mums which are just starting to bloom here in northern Illinois. Silk ribbon in peach and blue tie twice around the dress’s waistline. Cotton eyelet decorates the skirt’s hemline.

Gina’s bracelet is made with the tiniest glass pearls and blue seed beads, a stone heart (rose quartz?) and peachy crystal butterfly. It is strung on stretchy jewelry cord which makes it easy to slip on.

Gina’s cardigan and beret are knit out of hand dyed merino wool lace weight yarn. If you’d like to knit a cardigan like Gina’s I have a new pattern for it. The pattern is written with line by line instructions to easily follow along with when you are knitting.

Gina picked out a teddy bear to accessorize her new fall ensemble. I embellished her a tad because Gina wanted her to coordinate. She has a scarf knit in matching yarn, a silk ribbon bow, and a cute heart charm. Isn’t she sweet?

Gina and I hope you love her new fall ensemble. She is the first of my girls to be ready for fall. Do you have any fall preparations started yet?

Wishing you a wonderful holiday weekend if you live here in the U.S. If not, enjoy the weekend wherever you live. Sending hugs 🤗 from my sewing room filled with my tiny girls. They’re all blowing kisses to you right now…😘❤️💕💖
