“Cute ‘n Cozy Christmas”

I have a new Christmas ensemble for the Little Darlings.  I am doing the sale for this set a bit differently, so please read carefully.  To give others in some different time zones a chance at purchasing this set, I will be holding a lottery of sorts.  If you would like the opportunity to purchase this set I must receive your completed contact form no later that 7:00 pm CST on Saturday, December 5, 2015.  I will randomly select a name, I promise to be fair;  the winner will receive a Paypal invoice from me to purchase this set.  For details as to the price, shipping charges, and areas that I will ship to, please visit my “Shop What’s New” page and click on the appropriate photo.

Now, without further ado, here is my new Little Darling, Lucy, modeling her very first, “only for her” ensemble.  If you missed her introduction, I talked about her here and here.

Waking Up to a Winter Wonderland

We’ve had lots of moisture since Thanksgiving, but since it’s been above freezing it has been rain.  Last night it fell below freezing, so we are waking up to a winter wonderland.  It is truly beautiful, and… my favorite kind of snow, melting.

It’s very cozy and warm inside.  Our large Christmas tree is to the left of this photo.  This little tree is my “sweets” tree where I hang vintage cookie cutters and yummy looking ornaments.morning snow 930

It’s very timely that I just finished this winter set for my Kaye Wiggs Millie.  This set was fun to make, love this color so much, a heathered sky blue.  Millie is hanging on tight to her stuffed snowman that I made her.  I think she’s afraid she may have to give it up and share with it another little girl.

We often say in Chicago that if you don’t like the current weather, wait 5 minutes and it will change.  While this change didn’t happen in 5 minutes, this was yesterday morning.

The snow that we have this morning will be gone very soon, we’re getting warmer.

Have a great day and thank you so much for reading my blog and commenting.  I love hearing from you.

Santa’s Tiny Helpers

My Pukipuki Sugar, and Amelia Thimble are wearing bright red Santa hats and dresses for Christmas.  They are hoping that Santa notices them this year and needs their tiny helping hands for various elfin chores.  If Santa needs a reference for them I am ready to give him one.  These two are priceless; he’d better return them home to me after their chores are completed though, I’d miss them terribly.

Their Santa sets are made with bright red hand dyed lace weight merino and “fur” trim knit out of mohair/silk lace yarn.  (I love the way this yarn dyed up; it’s a very light tonal, with lights and darks.)  The dresses are embroidered with mistletoe berries, greenery, and blue spruce evergreen boughs.  Both tines are wearing tinkling bells at the ends of their Santa hats; maybe you’ll hear them on Christmas Eve.

Amelia wants to show Santa that she can climb around in Christmas trees and hang little ornaments.
