Girls in Pink!

I love pink! It is so warm and happy, just what is needed for these cold and dreary February days. So I dug through my stash of fabrics to find some pink fabrics and made up a series of dresses for Blythe for my shop. Please have a look; some sold quickly and can be seen in my sold items. I'm happy to take orders for any of the sold dresses. These were lots of fun to make. I enjoyed finding the buttons and buckles and ribbons to add just the right finishing touches for each dress.

Next up for the shop: more dresses for Blythe and my first dresses for PukiFee and Lati Yellow. I've been fine tuning the pattern for the tiny dolls and I think I've about got it the way I want. I do have some other sewing projects lined up for this week, too. A t-shirt quilt and my swap quilt for Round 8 of the Doll Quilt Swap. Looks like a busy week ahead!

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a great week!!

This is one of the dresses I recently added to my shop. I just love how it turned out. I had been looking for a coordinating fabric for some time; I finally gave up and put it with solid black. I think it gives the babydoll dress a little more sophisticated look.

Stop by the shop for a closer look at this dress and the other ones I just added.

Don't forget to check the sold items -- I'm happy to make a dress just for you if I still have the fabric!

Shop Update!

I've been busily sewing some new dresses for Blythe! I hope to update the shop Thursday or Friday. I have some really cute fabrics from my stash that I've finally decided to use. I have a problem cutting some fabrics, just can't do it. I see them and think "Cute Blythe dress!" and buy the fabric. Then I can't cut it...But my stash has reached problem status and so some fabrics are finally becoming Blythe dresses! I'm making another of these cake dresses (Penelope will not give this one up!); there's one with puppies and one with cupcakes...the fabrics are cute and colorful. Little bits of fun in candy colors...coming soon!

As always, I'm happy to take commissions. Just send me a message here or through Etsy.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Coming soon to Little Whimsies - outfits for PukiFee and Lati Yellow! My girls are wearing dresses that I've been working on; a couple adjustments to the patterns and we'll be ready to go! I just love these little dolls - so much fun and so, so sweet!! I guess I need to buy them more shoes...

Happy New Year!

Wishing everyone the very best new year, and decade, too!

To get ready for a new year, I am having a sale in my shop. Sale prices are good through the end of today. Why not pop by and have a look? It's too cold here to go outside! Tomorrow I will start making new items! So excited to try some new things!!

I will also begin introducing clothing for a few other dolls, including PukiFee and Lati Yellow, Tiny Betsy McCall, Wonder Frog and Emerald Witch. Now, I'm only one person, so I don't think I will manage to keep the shop fully stocked for all of these dolls, but I hope to sew for a few at a time throughout the year. I've got lots of ideas and it will be fun to create some new things for a wider selection of dollies!

Happy 2010!

It's December!

Turned another page on the calendar today - last one of the year. That always means time to get out the Christmas decorations and wrapping paper at my house. And lots of shopping for all my favorite people. Don't forget your favorite dollies! They need some presents, too! Little Whimsies has some cute and affordable Christmas dresses, all ready and waiting to ship.

So stop by and have a look!

The countdown has begun: 24 Days Until Christmas!

Happy December!

Christmas is Coming!

Wow - just a little over a month and the Big Day is here! I'm burning the midnight oil in the sewing studio with my Blythe helpers to get the new Christmas dresses in the shop. This little deer dress is one of my favorites - I'll be making more up this weekend.

Pop on over to the shop to see what's there. If your favorite isn't there, send me a note and I'll make one for you!
