The new year has come and gone, and Winter has shrugged her grey and icy blanket over all. If you look carefully, you can see the Christmas lights and some of our ornaments reflected in the window.
After dark, the tree glows in reflection...
The tree is down now for another year; the stockings removed from the mantle, and the days becoming almost imperceptibly longer. Good days to read a book from the library, or start a new project.
What a sweet little doll! She makes me smile! I wish I could embroider like you...I suppose a little practice would help!
ReplyDeleteAre her eyes embroidered or are they buttons?
Thank you, Linda; the eyes are indeed embroidered. Practice does help to make perfect. Also, you could do the embroidery on the doll before you stuff her; some find this easier than embroidering on the finished doll.

The flowery green legs are so cute. Nice to have something springy to work on in the heart of winter.
ReplyDeleteI found your blog through Ravelry and love your work and designs!

I keep thinking I have left a comment and then found out I hadn't! I obviously think about it, get distracted and then forget.
ReplyDeleteSo glad so see your new creation, she is looking as lovely as ever and I especially love the butterfly on her chest being a butterfly lover here.
Thank you so much, Lorraine; I love doing the embroidery :-)

Beth,
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you're having similar as we're having in Portland, Oregon. The only thing that cures the "winter blues", or as I call it, the "after Christmas let down", is another fun project to work on. Looks like you've found one!

Agreed, Momma Cat. I loved your pictures of the snow in Oregon; it did remind me of the weather here :-)
DeleteEnjoy your new girls!
warmly,
Beth

Hi Beth! Late as usual, but wanted to leave a comment anyway. I love your sweet little doll. Allegra is adorable, as all of your dolls are. Your photos are so pretty! And your tree is beautiful! I can only imagine how the rest of your home looked during the holidays. :o)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for stopping by, and your sweet words :-) Our home is pretty casual, and a bit messy!
