Patience Wants to Show You Something

Patience wants to show you the new ensemble that I’ve made just for her, “Patience in Peach”. These colors make me yearn for a juicy summer peach, a heaping bowl of peaches with cream or peach ice cream, yum.

Patience looks especially pretty in peachy pinks. They bring out her warm hair and lip color; these are her colors, I’d say.

Patience’s cropped cardigan is hand knit with lace weight merino wool. I’ve embroidered a pair of mirrored image rose motifs along the center front neckline in peachy pinks, deep warm rose, salmon, and the perfect shade of green to bring it all together. Off white glass pearl bead buttons add the finishing touch.

I was inspired by the shapes of these Victorian crocheted bags (aren’t they pretty?), so I made a tiny one for Patience. Her little flower bouquet sits perfectly inside.

These bows are made from rayon ribbon that I hand dyed. I know some of you were wondering about dyeing fabrics, yarn, and ribbon. The next time I do some dyeing I will take more photos for a post.

Thank You All So Much

I just wanted to say thank you to all of you for the support and condolences since my last post about my dad passing. It helps more than you could possibly know, so thank you so very much. Even if you didn’t leave a comment, thank you for reading my post. My dad will continue to live on in my heart.

One of my last dear memories of my dad was from this past December when he commented on how he visited my blog and got caught up as to what I was doing and making; he said he was proud of me. I’ll never forget the fact that he took the time to see what I was doing even though dolls held no interest for him. He was such a dear!

When I got home on Wednesday I had two new packets of goodies to have fun with: four new wigs and three sets of eyes. Right away I had to try something on Penny. Here she is wearing a Kemper Giselle wig in blonde and Eyeco platinum eyes in Lady Blue. I wasn’t sure of the shade of blonde this wig would actually be; it’s the same color as Helen Kish’s Riley doll’s hair! The eyes are a deep blue violet, really pretty. I guess one of my favorite new pastimes is giving Penny a new look, she looks cute so many ways.

Yesterday I embroidered a mohair cardigan for the Little Darlings. I’ve had this sweater knit since my last trip to Florida and had made the dress when I got home in mid January. Most likely this ensemble will go on record for taking the longest to complete. As of Friday afternoon, it still isn’t finished.

Today, I did a little straightening up in my sewing room and found a couple of things for Amelia Thimble and Izzy , and my Pukipuki’s first dress that I made for her. I was in the mood for something lighthearted and cutesy, so I had a little photo shoot with them.

Amelia Thimble wanted to play with my music box gramophone ( a vintage piece from my grandma). She had no idea what a gramophone was, so I had to explain it to her. Amelia thought that the ‘funnest’ part was when her teddy bear got a ‘ride’ on the record.

Little Izzy loves her super soft floor puppy pillow. Oh, and there’s that silly rabbit again; he’s always trying to photobomb every photo.

These three ensembles will be for sale at special prices (cindyricedesigns.com) on Saturday night, 7:00 pm, CST.

Thanks for reading my blog; bye for now!

Santa’s Tiny Helpers

12 Replies

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.
