Opal was invited to a Christmas party so she needed a new dress for the special occasion.
She was all dressed up…
and her dress was fancy even from the back!
But when she arrived, the other ‘girls’ handed her an apron and put her to work.
It was time to bake gingerbread men.
All of the pixies came out to help
so it turned out to be lots of FUN!
The holidays give us all a chance to enjoy the pretties we’ve collected over the years.
I made these gingerbread men years ago!
And the pixies are mostly vintage kneehuggers.
JoAnn and I both used the same Christmas fabric to create doll clothes for our sewing challenge.

Opal is certainly in the Christmas spirit. Love the little dress. Her little dress is so festive and pretty. She has plenty of help with the elves, doesn't she?
So much "elf help", your kitchen will smell wonderful with all that gingerbread baking.
Enjoy!

The Christmas dress and apron are adorable. I remember having those kneehugger pixies! Your display looks so festive and would be a JOY to see in person! Have a lovely day.
Very cute fabric and dress! And look at all of those elves!
What a wonderful blog for today. I am into using old jewelry to make art on canvas. Love to sew but go back and forth on which craft I am into too. Merry Christmas Diane from Ky.
How cute. I love Opal's new apron and the gingerbread men. We had some of those pixie elves when I was a child. Very cute activity for the dolls and the pixies :)
I am so happy she had such a great time with wonderful, magical friends.
And the apron is so cute it still makes her look beautiful and festive.
So festive! They all look darling...do they have an oven? Must check...
I love Opal's dress and apron !
She's cute, and her fancy dress is so pretty! I wish I had some of those pixies to help me in my kitchen this year ;)

Opal is so sweet and I like the dainty pattern in her dress.

Your dolls are so beautiful. Love those little elves and the gingerbreads. Yes, I think you need a new doll for Christmas, hah.
Diane, that doll is so pretty! I love all the gingerbread and of course the pixies. BUT, when I was young I hated the pixies. My mom had a few and for some reason, I didn't like them. Now that my mom is no longer with us, they've become dear to me. Funny, huh. Have a wonderful week, friend.
Cute dress and I love the apron! Merry Christmastime:@)
Oh, she is so cute...I swear, you're going to get me into dolls before
I know it! Is that a real gingerbread man? You're so good at creating a lovely "vignette" with your dolls and decorations. I love the little elves/pixies and the gingerbread men you made. That put me in the spirit more than anything so far! You go girl!
Love Opal's new Christmas dress. Those pixies are too cute.

That dress is adorable and the little elves just made my day!
hugs,

How cute, Diane! I always love to come to your blog and see how you're playing. Your Opal is adorable and I "sew" love her dress and apron. The elves just make me smile. Your sense of happiness and playfulness just shine through and spread good cheer!!
Hi Diane, you add the prettiest Christmas dress for your doll!
Thanks for sharing this with us at Cooking and Crafting with J&J.
Hi Diane! Oh, how pretty Opal looks in her new Christmas dress. Her Christmasy apron is darling too! How fun for all of the little guys to pop out and help. I love your collection of these little elves! Thank you so much for your prayers for little Carter. I love you for that.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
