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.

Patience and Izzy are Getting in the Spirit of the Season

Patience & Izzy (both dolls are from Wilde Imagination, Izzy is Amelia Thimble’s friend) are starting to feel the holiday spirit. Well, who couldn’t feel the spirit dressed in such festive ensembles?

Izzy arrived last week and immediately fit into the family. She feels so special to share Patience’s hair color and style. Izzy says they are like real sisters. Now to keep Amelia from getting jealous…

We even had a little snow yesterday for the photo shoot.

I took these photos through one of our tall windows which is right next to the fireplace so even though it looks so cold outside we are warm inside with a fire going.

Patience & Amelia Thimble Model New Sister Set

3 Replies

Wilde Imagination’s Patience and Amelia Thimble dolls are here to show you their brand new sister set that I just completed for them. I used this corduroy print once last year making an outfit for Helen Kish’s Bethany doll and loved working with these colors so much that I decided to use it again for Patience. Of course if Patience gets a new outfit then Amelia gets a coordinating set too. The embroidery on this set is a different stitch for me. Because the flowers are pastel on a darker yarn I had to make them more solid so they would show up nicely. I put a lazy daisy stitch around straight stitches and was very happy with the end result. Does anyone know if this stitch has a name?
