“Red, White, & Cherries”

Patience is showing off her patriotic side in her new ensemble, “Red, White, & Cherries”. Tuesday was a picture perfect kind of day here in northern Illinois so we took to the outdoors for Patience’s photo shoot.

I crafted a fun hair tie to bring to life the cherry motifs on Patience’s dress. I crocheted around lightweight pearl beads so the cherries would hold their shape, added a crocheted leaf, stems with the crochet thread, navy silk bow and a length of fine crochet to use as the tie. Patience seems to be enchanted.

I used pure white bamboo thread to knit Patience’s sweater. Some cobalt blue Czech glass crystal beads from my stash made the perfect buttons. I embroidered tiny red work cherry motifs around the bottom of the sweater.

Patience had the idea to pretend that the apple tree was a cherry tree to further the cherry theme.

It was a bit breezy, but the photo shoot was going smoothly until I turned my back on her for a second…

…and Patience starts to climb the apple tree. “Hey Patience, where are you going?”

I see London. I see France… (Sorry, I couldn’t resist.)

A Little Bit of “Vintage Flair”

Patience has a cozy and sweet ensemble to show you today. It is made with a fabric that I HAD to order when I saw it. (Once in a while I find a fabric that I love this much.) Everything about it appealed to me from the way it reminded me of a Liberty of London print with a 1970s vibe to the beautiful pink and blue colors in my favorite shades.

I incorporated the print into a band for the crocheted hat.

I loved embroidering this sweater as I got to use yummy colors.

After Patience and I were finished with the photo shoot Izzy wanted to pose for a couple of pictures with her twin big sis. They are both Wilde Imagination’s girls and they both have long red hair. Aren’t they cute together?

Strolling Through the Garden with Patience

On a beautiful spring day it is hard to resist Mother Nature. She beckons to us with her warm sun, gentle breezes, and surprises blooming outside. It was a day like this for us in northern Illinois on Friday. As much as I wanted to stay inside and work, work, work, I couldn’t resist. I had a lovely walk soaking up the warm sun and discovering all of the new things growing outside.

Patience loves to get outside on a spring day too. I took her picture in front of our pink magnolia tree that is in bloom. I didn’t plan it, but the ensemble that I just completed for her was perfect for photos.
