“Little Frosty”

Millie, my Kaye Wiggs 11″ BJD, is here today to welcome the new week and say hello to you all. Millie is not minding the frosty weather we are currently “enjoying” in northern Illinois one bit; after all, she is dressed for it, and has a little buddy who was made for this weather.

Millie wears a dress made out of a teeny tiny snowman/Christmas tree print. This cotton print is from Japan. French cotton lace that looks like tiny snowflakes edges the hemline.

Millie’s cardigan sweater is knit with a beautiful pine green merino/silk lace yarn. Bright red holly and leaves are hand embroidered on the cardigan’s front panels. Bright red glass bead buttons add to the festive feel of this cardigan.

Millie’s cute hat is knit (in the round) with a heavier weight of the same type of green yarn. I added a wide border of “fur” trim in baby mohair/silk lace yarn. Just for fun, and because Millie’s personality called for it, her “fur” pom pom dangles from the top of her hat with a couple of bright red jingle bells completing this fun hat. Can you hear them jingling?

Little Frosty is needle felted with wool and hand made by me. He wears a tiny elf hat (knit in the round) that matches Millie’s. Another bright red jingle bell can be found on the top of his hat. His features are created with Delica and seed beads which have been carefully sewn on to give him the perfect look. A tiny yarn “scarf” is looped around his neck.

Millie’s other accessories include a red wool scarf with mohair fringe, bright red rayon tights, and a minty striped bracelet with a heart and bell dangle.

Hello, from frosty Illinois. Boy, we had a good frost last night. It’s sooo cold here, but it’s very pretty too. When I look out my windows I see blue sky, frosty white grass, trees of red, yellow, orange, and yes, some are still green. I don’t think our magnolias will ever give up their green leaves. I don’t know what they’re thinking! 😮

I spent the last two days getting my 6 Christmas ensembles ready for market. It was a lot of work, but the majority of it is complete. It’s a peaceful feeling to have weeks and weeks of work all wrapped up. I’d love to sit and breathe it in, but I cannot wait to start on something new!

I have decided to offer one ensemble every evening for 6 days in a row. They will start on November 11 and go through November 16. The time that the sales page will be live on my website will remain unchanged at 7:00 pm CST.

Here is the order, so you can plan, if you’d like. As a reminder, I’ll also send out a blog post and Facebook post in the morning on the day each one will be available.

“Delicate Summertime”

4 Replies

It’s my little Kaye Wiggs Millie’s turn to show you something new. She doesn’t get a whole lot of attention, so when she does it’s very exciting for her. 🙂

For Millie’s ensemble I used a Japanese cotton floral fabric that I purchased in 2012. It’s from Lecien’s Flower Sugar 2012 collection. The colors in this print are crystal clear, not neutral at all. Also, the light blue is perfectly blue, not going towards aqua or the other way, to violet.

Millie’s light pink cotton sweater is an embroidered garden of bullion stitched roses and colonial knot flowers.

Of course, since it’s summertime, a wide brimmed hat is in order to keep the sun out of Millie’s baby blue eyes. This crocheted hat is made with 3 different strands of white in two thread weights and two different fibers, cotton and bamboo. I added a shell edging in the same pink as used for the cardigan. The brim can be turned up or down, or one side up for a jaunty look. The hat’s band is made with the same fabric as used for the dress. A little hand made bow is made with the same organza ribbon used for the waistline sash on the dress. I’ve added a row of tiny white pearls to the center of the bow.

Millie’s accessories include a crocheted basket, so fine and tiny, and a bouquet of bright pink flowers. A bracelet and pink tights are also included with her new ensemble.
