Thank You & Something for Sugar

First of all, thank you all for the love and support you showered me with yesterday. It’s amazing how uplifting you all are! I sit all alone and work in my studio day after day, but you all make me feel that I am not really working alone; I feel I am simply in my office which is located in a bigger building. So, thank you all so very, very much!

Today my Fairyland Pukipuki, Sugar, wants to show you her little something in blue. It is a tiny dress knit in a tonal baby alpaca/silk lace weight yarn. I love all of the subtle shades of blue, violet, and pink in this colorway. I’ve used it before here (Little Darlings), here (Amelia Thimble), and here (Amelia Thimble). Although I’ve used this yarn a few other times, this is the first dress I’ve made for Sugar with it. And sadly, it is no longer available, so when my one skein is gone… well, you know… 😦

“Garden of Blues” was finished before “My ‘Blue’-ming Garden” that I showed you yesterday, but Sugar would not agree to let me sell it until now. I told her that I have another dress for her that I am going to dye in a surprise shade of pink, so she relented.

Sugar enjoyed our photo shoot in the garden very much. She loves how her dress coordinates with all of the flowers that are blooming now. Sugar was especially captivated by the lilac phlox.

“Little Lady”

I think Sugar looks like the perfect little lady in her new dress/hat set. She’s all in lilac and pink with a white brimmed hat to keep the spring sun out of her eyes.

Sugar told me that she liked being a little lady as long as ladies were allowed to play with their pet bunnies. “But, of course,” I told her.

Oh, the joys of a macro lens… I got a close up of the flowers on Sugar’s hat. Ivory Delica beads are sewn into a cluster on the lilac flower and a larger bead is sewn onto each of the small pink blossoms.

“Sunshine and Rosebuds”

Sunshine and rosebuds are two of my favorite things, how about you? Sugar’s new ensemble is knit with sunshiny yellow bamboo and hand embroidered with tiny pastel rosebuds in pink, blue, and yellow. Tiny white colonial knot baby’s breath brings in sparkly light and ties the tiny rosebuds together in this mini floral arrangement.

On Sugar’s cute little head is a crocheted cap made in a fine crisp cotton. I found the narrowest satin pink ribbon in my stash and made her a bow for her cap. Sugar is feeling mighty happy in her new ensemble, can you tell? Or, maybe it’s the life sized (for her), stuffed bunny she’s posing with.

I snapped this photo the other day of Gracie, my Kaye Wiggs MSD, holding Sugar. She fits so perfectly in her hands.
