Talyssa | Cindy Rice Designs

Don’t get me wrong. I enjoyed the coziness of being indoors on Sunday while the fluffy white stuff piled up outside. It was truly beautiful. Now it is just so hard to get around with all of the icy piles everywhere. In a strange way it feels like winter just started. Boo Hoo!

Anyway, I couldn’t help myself. I had to make something that hints at springtime. Creating this ensemble for Talyssa helped me forget what is outside (for awhile) and think about sweetly scented springtime blossoms.

I know that it’s just a wish for now. But, maybe wishing will make a warm breeze start to blow, the sun will come out and the snow will start to melt. I yearn for spring. Do you too?

I grew up watching Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer every year at Christmas time. It was my favorite Christmas special. I must confess that I still enjoy watching it. In those days there were no DVDs or even video tapes to be purchased so the show couldn’t be missed when it was broadcast on television. We only had one chance a year to see Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and we made sure to watch it. It’s great that this classic is still so popular today.

My Talyssa cannot wait to watch Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer for the first time. Her excitement is contagious. I made Talyssa a very special dress out of a Rudolph and Clarice cotton print and she just loves it. What little girl wouldn’t be thrilled with two of her favorite reindeer on a Christmas dress made especially for her? I found a stuffed deer miniature in my props drawer and wanted to turn him into Rudolph for Talyssa. I think she likes him, don’t you?
