Tiny Dresses From My Imaginary Rose Garden

I’ve been in teeny tiny creative mode lately, and I seem to be hooked on pink roses. Here are the latest ensembles to come from my studio: two dress/hat sets for Amelia Thimble and Izzy, and a new dress/hat set for Pukipuki.

All three dresses ended up coordinating nicely together, so I took a group picture of my three tinies all dressed up. Sorry about Amelia Thimble’s strange pose; she was in an animated mood during the photo shoot and refused to stand still unless I held her. Izzy and Sugar behaved like tiny angels.

It’s Back…

Oh Where, Oh Where is Spring?

While I cannot say it is totally springlike here, we are moving towards it. Over the last 4-5 days we have lost lots of snow with above freezing temps and lots of sun. Large areas of grass are starting to appear and they’re sort of green…well, in some places!

Update: I wrote this post this morning and as of now (the evening) it seems like there is less snow and more grass showing. What a huge difference a day makes!

No sign of bulb gardens starting in northern Illinois yet, though. For a preview of what is to come, a beautiful bulb garden is in full bloom on Pukipuki Sugar’s dress. And, the best part is that it is an everlasting reminder of our fleeting spring flower gardens.

Sugar has embroidered tulips in three shades, yellow daffodils, tiny grape hyacinths (yes, they smell like grape), and the ever fragrant hyacinths in purple (blue), white, and pink. In our previous house all of these bloomed in my garden every year.

What will be blooming in your spring garden?
