Midget and Gidget

For the benefit of new readers,
the gown that Midget is wearing
was inspired by a Doris Thurlow design.


Today is the first day that feels like autumn,
Yay!!
Yippee!!
It feels soooo good :)
Enthusiasm returns,
get the camera out and
do some pics!!

A few weeks ago,
Midget
acquired a twin sister.
Her name is
Gidget!
(what else?)

Here they are together.
Gidget never cries.
Midget is a sweet natured baby too ;)
I really love these little ones!
Midget gave Gidget her christening layette to wear
while she waited patiently for some clothes.
Poor naked baby!

Meantime I started working out
a layette for Midget
using finer thread than the previous set
that I'd done as part of the swap for
Midget and Gidget.
With the finer thread I thought I'd try crocheting the entredeaux
instead of using the machine made type.
It turned out quite well,
a bit smaller than the bought version.

Here she is in her
"smalls".

In her petticoat.

And in her gown.

Not ready for a sleep?
Play time.

  3. Thankyou Kikka! I'm happy for you to have Spring if I can have Autumn ;)

    Yes Lidi, it was a really lovely day in our small part of Downunder wasn't it? I'm looking for the BBB's for you and for another friend as well. So far I've found only one dollmaker selling them and she is one busy lady, you could wait a long time. Wish I still had my kiln, I'd knock these little beauties off in no time! In the meantime till we find the baby, I'll start a layette for you.

  11. Thankyou all for being sweet about Midget and Gidget :) I've enjoyed making this baby layette in Mettler 60/2 sewing machine embroidery thread.

    I'd swap some snow for 30 degrees celcius with 98% humidity any day! Too many days like that lately!!
