Perfect in Purple!

A pure delight to put this one together - a small smocked panel across the front using matching threads in white, lilac & purple really brings out the design nicely. A matching hat to complete the ensemble & bub is all ready for the hot summer...

Mini Cupcake

The original design of this dress 'Cupcake' was in AS&E Issue # 54 in a size 5,6 & 7 but this little dress is done for a 6 month old & I have changed the colours, sleeves & hemline accordingly to fit the smaller size. So pretty with the lemon grub roses & light green vine trims.

Little Boy Work Overalls

Here is something for the little man in your life... a perfect matching set of shirt & overalls... light chambray fabric is ideal for the overalls as it is not stiff & hard on soft baby skin & the shirt is a light cotton for the hot summer months..

Amethyst Pearls

Look at the affect these amethyst pearls have on the Thai cream silk & with the coffee dyed laces they appear so 'old' world..I am starting a new collection using some of my treasured laces & coloured pearls.

Block of the Month

During 9 months of last year I was involved in a "Block of the Month" through my stitching forum friends & this is the result thus far. The online teacher is Kerry & she has been lovely to share her designs with us. There are more borders to the outside but I think I may leave mine as a smaller knee quilt. I have been so busy with orders for smocked clothing for reborn babies that I haven't had a chance to post on here for a month, maybe next month I will take a teeny break!

Christmas Wishes

Where does the time go.... one minute it is New Year & then it is Christmas again the next year! Not sure where this year has gone but looking back over the 12 months I can see many blessings have been bestowed upon me... lots of new friends have appeared, more fabric & patterns have been purchased & some pretty creations have evolved...the New Year is only days away & already plans are underway for my 2012 collection . With the purchase of new "babies" from the USA, there will also be new clothing made to suit each individual baby.. keep posted ... in the meantime.....

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE.

Christmas Clothing

With the rush of Christmas, I had this idea that children would love to be dressed in pretty fabrics to represent the season so here are my summer Christmas dresses for little girls...

Re-designed Wedding Gown

Thought I would do another wedding gown conversion.. this one was the most gorgeous embroidered net with a satin petticoat. By keeping the sleeves with the silk covered buttons & the buttons down the back I was able to use them in this new gown. I think you will agree, the end result is just lovely & making such a full skirt really shows the net embroidery off beautifully.. a CHRISTENING GOWN for future generations..

Dusty Pink Silk

Who would have thought that this dusty pink dupion silk would look so good with cream lace & cream pearls smocked into a romper, bonnet & shoes. It is the most gorgeous colour - my little "Honey" does the outfit justice.. the end result is quite stunning.

Lime Green set

Another set in the bright series... this one has the frilly bloomers & when the toddler walks they will show beautifully. The dress is all fully lined with the plain lime greeen fabric. All 100% cotton for cool summer comfort.

Silk Sets

My great love of silk fabric is no secret and these little rompers turned out so pretty for my reborn babies. The larger one fits a 20 inch 'baby' & the smaller ones only 13 inches. As a group they look so cute....

Bright & Bold

Here is another bright & bold set in my African series... so pretty for that newborn in your life. A smocked mopsy hat will protect

your little one from the harsh rays of the summer sun...
