A dress for Evie Hazelwood

Dear Readers,

Last time I placed an order at SSK, I bought Evie´s Sleepover set.


Even though it is hard,I try not to unbox all the sets on the same day I receive the package. It is nice to keep a new set and open it one of these days you need something to cheer you up a bit.

Last evening, I took Evie out of her box and there she was wearing her pink checked nightgown.


She looked very comfortable in her nightie but,actually,it was a bit tight on the sleeves and it left a mark on her arms  . It´s not that noticeable in the picture but I think you can get an idea of what I mean.


Poor Evie! Her arms were injured and she didn´t have any clothes to go out.
Sooner said than done, I turned a little piece of fabric into a dress for Evie.

Ta-dah!
Look how happy she looks in her new floral dress!



Have you recognized the building at the back?
Yes! At last! The Sylvanian Dress Shop.(I´ll write a post about it some other day)



Finally,a family picture.



I´m hopeless at sewing but this time I was determined to try my best.
Even though the dress has some stiches, I must confess I cheated a little bit as I ended up using glue for the straps.I also had to add a ribbon and a bow to cover the irregual stitches but the final result is ok for someone who finds it even hard to understand how to put a pattern together.

I´m in the process of updating the page for my Sylvanian Families. I´m taking pictures of the families I hadn´t included yet and writing all the bios again.
The first page I created doesn´t work anymore and I can´t update it.
Hope this new one works but it is still on draft.

Have a nice day!

Lots of love

The Dingles´ Flower Shop


Dear Readers,

The Dingle Sheep Family was one of my first families.




From the very first moment I saw them I knew they were going to be the owners of my village flower shop.
Soon, I realized that getting a Sylvanian Flower Shop was not easy. They are very rare and quite expensive so I decided to make my own shop out of a small cardboard box.
The result wasn´t great but I needed a flower shop for some of my stories. Do you remember Rhys Chocolate on Valentines Day and Monty Kennelworth on his wedding anniversary?




I´m writing this post because the Dingles´flower shop has seen a few changes in the past few months.They have changed the roof, they have added a garden section and now they offer a great variety of plants and beautiful flowers.
Here you have some pictures.






















Thanks for visiting the Dingles´Flower Shop.

Lots of love.
