I actually finished my Blythe's dress (her name is Verity Rose) the other day. We had several days of gloom, so pic-taking was not the best. The first bright day, I took several pix before I totally forgot about taking any at all!!! I took them with a window behind me, so you see that window on poor Verity's forehead!! Sorry. Since then, I've been so busy working on my swap goodies.
Her dress is light pink |
White trim |
The little flower is white with a tiny pink heart button |
You can't really see her bare tootsies! |
Her hair decor is a baby barette! |
I added a little slip under it because it does show thrrough and you can see her legs. I didn't make a slip, but used a vintage Madame Alexander half slip that I needed to take a few tucks in so it wouldn't fall down around her ankles! It was certainly interesting using a tiny steel hook and thread after using bulky yarn and a huge hook for the cowls I made for Greta.
Anyhoo, I have been working away on swappy gifties. I finished Elizabeth's ornament; I'm working on the hearts; and then I will work on the Valentine box. I had to buy a large Valentine box of candy in order to have the large box to use. YUP! Those chocolates keep calling me!!! I think I will end up 10 pounds heavier by the time I'm done. At least. Did I say I love chocolate??? And that I cannot resist it???? Oh, when I was looking for the Valentine heart - I saw the BIGGEST heart box of Russell Stover chocolates!!!! My eyes just lit right up, and at approx. 40 bucks , I'll have to leave that to my imaginary boyfriend!!! So, perhaps not this year ... ha ha ha! Uh oh ... speaking of that yummy candy ... I have the urge to run and grab a piece. Yep - need a little of that chocolate-energy!!!
Have a great Sunday, what's left of it. I am taking advantage of daylight, so going to run .........
Until next time ....

ReplyDeleteMy imaginary boyfriend buys me chocolate all of the time! ;)
It really was pretty mean of me to make you all eat tons of chocolates by requiring you to buy a heartshaped box for my swap! lol
Your Blythe doll is too cute! You're always making cute things!
Erica :)
Well, I'm not REALLY complaining. I've done a pretty good job of eating them up! Can you believe I'm STILL going by the diagram that came with the box so that I can PICK which one I want? Like I'm not going to eat them all!!!!! LOL
DeleteLove the window on the forehead! :)
ReplyDeleteI know, huh, Holly??!!! It take a genius photographer to get it smack dab in the middle!! LOL
