“I’m a Santa Helper”

“I’m a Santa Helper”, says my Little Darling, Gina.  She is indeed wearing all of the jingle bells and whistles to get herself noticed by Santa Claus.  Gina even has a tiny present to add to the pile for good little girls and boys.

“A White Christmas”

And now one for my tiniest tiny, Amelia Thimble.

The hand embroidered motifs are itty bitty (just like Amelia Thimble), but oh, so festive.

Puki’s White Christmas

Here is the first of my winter white sweater dresses. Sugar wanted to go first, so I told her that would be fine if it was okay with the others, and it was.

Sugar is wearing white lace tights too.
