Happy Fall!

I cannot believe it! Autumn has begun in the northern hemisphere. (And if you live in the southern hemisphere I am quite envious as spring is my favorite season.) Is it feeling like autumn (or spring) yet, where you are?

There is a burnishing and golden glow to the greenery to let me know that it is time for everything to start winding down for the year, but there is still a warm and humid feeling to the outside air. It is impossible to think that we will have a frost in a few weeks. That is typically when we do, and then all growth in the garden comes to a definitive end. Yep, I don’t believe it… It has been so warm.

Trying to get into the autumn spirit got me looking through some of my ensemble photos from previous autumns and found this one of Gina from 8 years ago. I thought I’d share it with you again, since she is a favorite. Sweet isn’t she?

So what are you up to on the first day of this new season? So far I’ve cleaned out a few pots of plants. Slowly but surely is how the garden gets cleaned up around here. Maybe I’ll now be able to get into my sewing room… for a little sewing.

I hope you enjoy the weekend! Sending you lots of dolly hugs from my girls.🤗

Holly’s Turn!

Here is my sweet Holly (Ruby Red Fashion Friend named Stella) in her new ensemble called, “My Delicate Rose”. If you like lilac and pink… BTW, my dear grandmother’s two favorite colors were lilac and pink. I hope she is smiling down on Stella and loving her new look.

I think this floral print is absolutely gorgeous. I wish that I had purchased more than 1/2 yard of this one. It is long gone, I’m afraid. I think I have just enough for one more doll dress. It’s a beauty, isn’t it? The precious piece of tatted lace I had in my stash is the perfect icing on this cupcake.

Holly’s cardigan is the perfect shade of lilac, and so very fuzzy and soft. I let the embroidery on this one go nice and slow. I carefully worked at it over the course of a few sessions. I am very pleased with the end result.

I felt a simple hair ribbon to be the perfect piece to adorn Holly’s locks. It matches the sash, but is slightly narrower. Anklets too, seemed perfect. A pretty bouquet and butterfly adorned bracelet complete this spring ensemble.

Holly picked these flowers just for you! She says, “With love, from Holly” ❤️

As the spring (or autumn) season finishes up I am wishing you all beautiful days ahead. Sending hugs🤗 from my studio.

May is Going, Going, and Almost Gone! Yikes!

Oh my goodness! Has this month ever flown by!!! Back in mid April I showed you Evianna all dressed up in her new ensemble, “Beautiful in Blue”. I have since finished two more ensembles. See, I have been busy!

The first is for the Little Darlings and Gina is modeling. The second is for the Ruby Red Fashion Friends with Holly modeling. Both are delicate rosy creations with mohair sweaters.

“Pretty in Pink Roses” for the Little Darlings features lots and lots of pink, flowers, and cloud-like softness.

I have said this before, but I’ll say it again. Oh, how I wish this cardigan were for me, but I will have to settle with gazing at this adorable girl wearing it so beautifully.
