Hazel Village’s Ivy Goat wearing a HV Iinen dress I embroidered
In June this year, the amazingly creative Hazel Village brought back Ivy Goat, one of their guest animals who is not a permanent resident in their shop. I didn’t buy Ivy the first time she was a guest animal, but they changed her ear fabric and in my opinion, she’s a lot cuter now! And Arthur Lamb wanted a friend!
I was out mowing the lawn when Ivy launched on the Hazel Village website. (Mowing is a garden chore best suited for a goat I think)! So I missed the lovely green linen dress that was part of her launch. I really liked the dress but I have other Hazel Village linen dresses, so that was fine.
Checking the basket, I found 2 white linen dresses so decided to embroider some summer flowers on one of them. I attempted to stitch out the purple blues that are next to Ivy in the photo about…with a modicum of success. Not quite how I envisioned it, but close enough! And I added a tiny little ladybug too. The ladybug is so tiny I had to make single loop French knots which were a first for me! But it worked!
Ivy is sitting in the shade, but happily wearing both the bonnet and and blue polka dot bloomers which were part of her Hazel Village wardrobe. It was fun taking a few minutes to embroider a dress especially goat-worthy. I’m sure she thinks LUNCH! when she looks at it!!
