“Garden Picnic”

Who would like to have a picnic in the garden with sweet Lucy? She’s all ready for a happy outing, and is bringing the sweets!

Lucy is wearing a most appropriate dress printed with roses and other pretty blossoms. The dress is a drop waist style with a pink ribbon tied around the waist.

A lace merino wool sweater in lace weight heathered aqua covers her shoulders in case it gets a little cool, or they find the perfect picnic spot in the shade. Bullion stitched embroidered rose motifs are scattered on the front of the sweater which can be worn open or closed.

Lucy is bringing to the picnic the yummiest of sweets: an iced donut, a flower-shaped cookie, and an iced strawberry sweet roll. I promise these are calorie free! They all fit into her crocheted picnic basket, and can nestle inside the little rosy cotton lawn napkin.

A crocheted headband with bow, panties (also with a bow), anklets, and bracelet complete Lucy’s “Garden Picnic” ensemble.

My Darling is a Little Miffed With Me!

No, not my hubby darling, thank goodness, but my Little Darling, Lucy. My sweet, smiling Lucy, who never gets upset over ANYTHING, was a wee bit upset with me this morning. It has to do with her latest ensemble that she helped to design. Hence, the title, “A Darling’s Choice”.

Here’s her beef with me; I only gave her lilac blossoms, not pink also. “That’s hardly a choice”, she says. And, she’s absolutely right. I got busy right away correcting this issue. After all, I want her to be happy again.

Now, she really has a choice, pink or lilac. And now, I must giggle because she cannot choose either and is choosing to choose both of them. It really is her choice, isn’t it?

If you’d like to read more about this ensemble it’s on my website, cindyricedesigns.com. Oh, and this OOAK for the Little Darlings is ~~still available~~ (sold) if you’d like to add it to your dolly’s closet.

I hope you all have a lovely day. After two absolutely YUCKY days, the rain has stopped and the sun is in and out. I’ll take it.

Thanks for stopping by my friends. ❤

Pink or lilac . . . lilac or pink. When you simply cannot choose, choose this lovely print. Pink and lilac are given equal billing on this Japanese cotton fabric with its tiny blossoms. I love how their done in a washy watercolor style.

Lucy’s light as a feather bolero is hand knit with mohair/silk lace weight yarn. This is a new style for me. It has a slightly rounded front edge and a crocheted ruffly edging around the opening. Embroidered roses are scattered along the neckline in two shades of pink and two shades of lilac.

The crocheted basket holds a tiny bouquet of lilac blossoms tied with a pink ribbon. A crocheted beaded headband with bow adds a bit of sparkle. Anklets, lilac panties with a bow, and a beaded bracelet complete this pink and lilac ensemble.
