“A White Christmas”

And now one for my tiniest tiny, Amelia Thimble.

Amelia’s jingly Christmas set is hand knit with lace merino yarn. Her dress is knit in an off white and her Santa hat is knit with yarn that I hand dyed to a light red or berry-ish color. The fuzzy mohair/silk yarn adds a Santa-like “fur” band of trim.

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

Here is Amelia Thimble posing with Sugar shortly after I completed their winter white sets, happy girls. They cannot wait to help Santa this year!

Patience is “Preparing for Christmas”

This cute little elf is ready… ready to start preparing for the holidays that is. Patience says there’s nothing like donning a Santa hat to get in the holiday spirit. She thinks everyone should give it a try.

I guess I’ve been hoarding this Christmas fat quarter cotton print. I’ve had it for years and was inspired to make an ensemble with it this year. The evergreen boughs and ornaments/berries are colorful in a warm and cozy way. I added lots of shiny golden accents to accentuate the golden yellow berries and the light golden background. There are quite a few shades of red in this print; perfect for adding red knitwear and two colors of berries to the sweater and hat embroidery. And, of course, I had to add some pine green for Christmas.

Look! Patience is all ready to help you decorate your tree.

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween! We’re waking up to a wet and dark Halloween. Hopefully it will improve; they say it it will.

Last year trick or treating was during a rainstorm and the temperature was in the 30s (brrr) and very, very few children came around, maybe three. Really, who could blame them, wet AND cold! My husband had lots and lots of candy bars to munch on until Christmas; I’m sure he didn’t mind.

In honor of Halloween I have collected past photos of my girls dressed for the occasion.
