VIVE MARIA LEGWARMERS AW12 VINTAGE CHALK 6

Yes, there was a chill in the air this morning, when I opened the window onto the garden, and that crisp rustle of the wind, as the leaves tell us that Autumn is indeed on it’s way to us……

Time to start thinking about what to wear for the cooler months then Winking smile

A sweet combination of vintage chalk, the palest blush pink and topped off with a pretty shade of light fuchsia for the crocheted bow – pretty indeed! Winking smile

Söt hjärtat flicka (Sweet heart girl)

MARIA SWEETHEART SHORTS 6

Sweet Heart shorts for a pretty girl from Sweden modelling them for me, on a sunny day down on the farm….

MARIAS SHORTS 1

I made these pretties for Maria’s birthday last year, as I knew she would adorable in them, and doesn’t she just! Winking smile

MARIA SWEETHEART SHORTS5

Made from an organic 4 ply cotton yarn, they’re lovely and soft to the touch….

MARIA SWEETHEART SHORTS2

Such a pretty pink colour, with my trademark crocheted bows….

MARIA SWEETHEART SHORTS4

Enhanced with a pretty white cotton crocheted belt, that takes longer to crochet than the shorts take to knit! 

MARIA SWEETHEART SHORTS8

Pretty indeed – I’ve lived in my many pairs all summer – even if the weather has been dire!

Maria also agreed to be photographed alongside her nieces, and here is Elvira, actually wearing Tora’s shorts, named after her – even though she was quite adamant she wasn’t going to pose in them for me – love a spirited child, so good for her! Winking smile

MARIA SWEETHEART SHORTS WITH ELVIRA

They look pretty on Elvira also! Looks like they had lots of fun down on the farm….

MARIA SWEETHEART SHORTS WITH ELVIRA AND TORA

The ladies Sweet Heart shorts retail at £50.00, excl of P&P and are very flattering on, as you can see……

'Tora' shorts, which are the little girl version, made under my other designs of  Thumbelina von Bumblechops, cost £30.00

MARIA SWEETHEART SHORTS7

I know, when you’ve got legs like Maria’s it’s not difficult to look fabulous in them, but trust me, I’ve made these for a number of different women now, and they’ve all reported back that they look nice on, comfortable and not too revealing!

If you would like a pair before Summer moves on (almost a cue for a song! Winking smile) please contact me at the usual address of….

littlemissnorway@btinternet.com


Once again, many thanks to Maria, and to Elvira for stepping in and modelling Tora’s pair for me, and to the wonderfully talented photographer, Henrik Bergstedt, who captured the moment so well!

Thanks for dropping by!

Crème de la crème - Luxury Boudoir……

CDLC BOUDOIR PINK WRAP5 AD

Oh this has been a pure joy to make – in fact, I couldn’t wait to finish it! Smile

Found this beautiful embroidered cotton lawn fabric recently, and what makes it so wonderful are the scattering of sequins all over it……

CREME DE LA CREME BOUDOIR 1

I soon realised I had to do something special with it, but couldn’t make my mind up – till one night as I lay in bed, it came to me – a Boudoir wrap, but one a little bit more special and luxurious this time……

CDLC BOUDOIR PINK WRAP1 ADV

Yes,  a beautiful floor length version of my Boudoir wrap!

CDLC BOUDOIR PINK WRAP2

Like I said, I wanted it to be special, so as I couldn’t find matching laces, I decided to hand dye my own – all of them!

DSC_2599

It was a labour of love which I enjoyed immensely, and so a Boudoir wrap deserved a special pair of shorts to match……

CDLC BOUDOIR PINK SHORTS1 AD

Yes indeed, they are a pair of shorts, just look like a skirt, but they’re nice and floaty on when you walk in them! Didn’t want the usual type for this set….

CDLC BOUDOIR PINK SHORTS2

Love how the lace panel on the bottom came out – such a lovely pale blue colour, complete with matching bows……

CDLC BOUDOIR SET PINK2

Can’t wait to wear it, but I am saving it for a special occasion! Winking smile


And with that, onto the next piece of fabric I found……

AND ANOTHER LUXE BOUDOIR

A divine pale turquoise version of the same fabric, with pretty little sequins dotted here and there – oh and hand dyed matching lace, ready to be made up…..

Still don’t know if I should make another Boudoir set, a floor length version of the ‘Herlig’ Kaftan with this wonderful fabric, or offer it to a customer to be made up to their requirements – decisions, decisions!

Watch this space then……Winking smile

Thanks for dropping by – wishing you all a wonderful evening, have fun!
