Hitty's walk in the woods

We're having an unusual spring in the Midwest and Hitty headed out in her spring finery to get a breath of fresh air. Flowers are her delight and she found some gorgeous Bleeding Hearts to walk under in her trek.

HITTY CHIC

Spring is finally here in the Midwest. Dear Hitty Pearl has nearly tripled her wardrobe of dresses these past few months. So many wonderful comments about her own dresses that she has started a wee shop of her own called 'HITTY CHIC' Frocks for Hitty. She spends time going from quilt store to quilt store peeking from her person's pocket and pointing out suitable fabrics. She's reminded often of the overstocked stash at home. Possibly she'll be able to amble around the yard and pose for some seasonal photos today.
Here are some recent photos of her frocks.

Hitty Pearl had her Christmas gift early. A 'new' kitchen from the Swedish Muppet cook who has moved on to more modern quarters. She has imported Becassine accessories for the counter and needs to get busy and spruce up the place. Her gift was an inspriration from several HittyGirls photo galleries on the yahoo lists. Hers is bare in comparison but she's anxious to make it her own for this and other holidays.

Dear Pearl Hitty is getting a closet full of clothes and now needs winter capes with hoods or knitted hoods. My first attempt of a knitted hood with scarf attached was a disaster which took all evening to knit only to be frogged. I've kept her inside on cold and rainy days so far.
Attached to this note is a beautiful crocheted dress I bought from Sassy Susie for her Hitty's Easter Dress but wanted to share it with a fellow Hitty knitter on Ravelry so posting it here.
Out of season but a lovely dress and hat.
Stay warm

Hitty's newest dress

Hitty Pearl thinking winter is fast approaching has dug into her fall fabric stash and picked out a brightly colored leaf print and yarn to match for a shawl . That is how cold she is feeling. Her outfit was finished last night and she posed for it today. A sunny blustery fall day but at least the rain has stopped.
Stay warm and dry

Winter encroaching

Hitty Pearl has a new sister. A handcarved Hitty by Stonedragon aka Connie ? ... Hitty Pearl insists still on being the top model though and the yet unnamed Hitty spends most of her time in Hitty Pearl's bed in her room box.
Snow is threatening early this year so the Hittys got a new shawl this weekend. I used striped sock yarn and I'm not entirely happy with the colors as they knit out.
Here are the newest dresses for the Hittys. One in a whaling print skirt and one a couple of acorn prints. They fell a kinship to the 'tree' themed prints.
Stay warm and dry these rainy cool days.

Hitty's Discovery

Hitty Pearl discovered a jewel of a fabric in the quilting stash. I'll post a picture of her modeling the dress made of her find. Whale fabric. It ties in so well with her book family history. She simply glows in the dress.
Also new to her wardrobe is the fun mushroom print dress. Tiny clusters of mushrooms with coordinating print bodice and hem border. Petite white polka dot print to match the mushroom caps. She's even requested a tiny clay pot of said mushrooms for her room but that hasn't gotten beyond the purchase of the clay to make them so far.
Fall is here and I should be switching to school type prints and plaids. Also longer sleeves but the flowers on the deck are so huge and abundant this year I hate to think of frost in the forecast at all.
Take a peek at her dresses.
