“Hello”, says Sugar. “Thanks for stopping by to see my new play set. My favorite piece is the slouch hat…
…and the colorful leggings…
…and the cozy sweater…
…and the “Love” necklace. Oh, yeah, the bracelet is fun too!”
What a precocious little one Sugar is! Hope she doesn’t walk away with your heart too. She’s already got mine.

December was a pretty painless month weather wise for us in northern Illinois. The temperature stayed right around freezing, not very cold for us. So, no weather excuses for not getting the Christmas shopping done. Well, it’s a new year and new weather. This morning we woke to a winter wonderland. It’s still snowing mid morning with more coming tomorrow. After that it will get very cold. Winter is finally here!
A snowy view out my bay window in the kitchen…
…and out the front door…
…and out my sewing room window.
Sugar (Fairyland Pukipuki) has never felt snow. I know, it’s my fault. She hasn’t had proper winter clothing. However, last week I knit her a bulky wool sweater which will keep her nice and warm. She’s got some waterproof boots and leggings too. She donned her winter gear and begged me to take her out on the sled. She needed a few extra pieces so I found some scrap yarn to wrap around her neck as a scarf and dug out her little pixie hat to keep her ears warm. I think she’s ready to experience snow.
“Please, please, please…”, begged little Sugar.
Like all little ones, Sugar LOVED playing in the snow with her puppy!
Do you see the snowflake in Sugar’s hair?
Okay, I know it is early. Halloween was three days ago…! By the time Thanksgiving gets here, though, I think we will want to have some idea about what our doll displays will look like, no? I must confess that I actually started making things for Christmas in July. While I was enjoying the hot Florida sun I was knitting Santa hats and I am glad I did because time seems to be slipping away already.
So to welcome the season here is my Pukipuki Sugar. She is wearing a winter white hand knit and daintily embroidered dress in a mohair/silk yarn. On her head is a ruby red Santa hat with fuzzy trim. If you listen closely you can hear the tinkling of the little bell which magically sticks to her hand (oops sorry, no magic here, there are magnets in Pukipuki’s hands).
Here is a closeup of the embroidery. It is quite tiny. Two different varieties of evergreen boughs and berries, and tiny embroidered bows encircle the waistline of this dress.
With love (blowing kisses) from my tiny Pukipuki Sugar. For more information on this outfit please visit my website,
