Sugar won’t need her sprinkling can today; it’ll be a rain-filled thunderstorming kind of day here in northern Illinois.
These dresses are from 2014. Sugar’s itty bitty everlasting embroidered bulb garden is filled with daffodils, tulips, hyacinths, and grape hyacinths.
Sugar is a tiny Fairyland Pukipuki BJD. You can find them here.
How is your garden growing? Sugar and I would love to know.

I presently have six different dolls all dressed up in Christmas ensembles, and the poor things have nowhere to go. How about posing for some photos, girls? Let’s show everyone how cute you all are. Say cheese!
Even though all six dolls are of different proportions and sizes, I think they all look adorable together, don’t you, too?
While the girls were modeling, I put them to “work” by having them add some Christmas spirit to my studio. Sugar (Fairyland Pukipuki) and Amelia Thimble brought around the jingle bells so that we all can add our own holiday ring-a-linging. Patience and Millie (by Kaye Wiggs) made tiny everlasting snowmen, and Rose (Boneka/Effner) brought some “heart” into the mix. Ivy, a handmade mohair bear from Warm Heart Bears showed she had some real paper cutting skills. How cute are those paper snowflakes! Great job, Ivy! Even the Christmas stripe-y dachshund carried a wreath for hanging.
We had a fun day today!
Patience’s ensemble (SOLD) and Millie’s ensemble are currently available on my website. Sugar, Amelia Thimble, and Rose’s will be available this coming weekend and into next week. Be sure to keep an eye out here and on Facebook if you are interested.
I hope that you are enjoying this first week of the holiday season. I love this time before Christmas; there’s anticipatory magic in the air.
Finally… some sunshine to take photos. Until this morning, Monday, we haven’t seen the sun since last Wednesday! It’s been very dark and rainy, and very hard to get some good photos.
I’ve been working on a knitting pattern for ? (it’s a surprise), and taking photos of the steps along the way. I thought they’d be okay, so kept knitting along. You know what? They are all terrible, in the virtual trash those photos will have to go. Now I have to start knitting another sweater to get (hopefully) better photos. Since the pattern is written, I can follow it to see if it all makes sense and my counts are accurate. So, I guess it’s a good thing. It’s turned into at least an 11 page pattern. My notes I use when knitting this sweater fill up 1/2 of a page in my 5 x 7 knitting notebook! See I really do work from gibberish that only I can understand. lol
So, here is little Sugar, my Fairyland Pukipuki. I decided I liked the sleeved dress on her after all. If she’s posed a certain way her arms look fine, I think so anyway. Isn’t she the cutest little thing! I never seem to get tired of her sweet face.
Sugar’s a-line elbow length sleeved dress (hand knit in lace weight merino heather) is perfect for fall, no goose bumps on this little girl. The embroidery on the bodice is a tiny mirrored floral motif and done in colors to coordinate with her leggings.
This cute knit fabric goes so perfectly with her dress. I still wanted her shoes to fit, so instead of tights made some longish leggings that give the effect of tights.
Of course she found some matching fall blossoms in the woods. We haven’t had a frost yet, thank goodness, so the flowers are still in bloom. The silk streamers on her bouquet keep her smiling as they flutter in the breeze.
Now like the bigger girls, Sugar has her very own bangle bracelet with a dangly heart; only Sugar can wear bangle bracelets.
Sugar’s “Lovin’ Autumn” ensemble will be available Tuesday night at 7:00 pm CST, cindyricedesigns.com.
Thanks for stopping by today! Bye for now. ❤
