After the previous post about dolls, we decided to dress the babies in outfits that I made for Rissy's birthday a couple of years ago. Rosie's romper is aqua and white striped cotton with an initial applique, and Lana's bunting is aqua dotted swiss edged with tiny white ruffles and tied with a pearl-trimmed satin ribbon. The Beatrix Potter motifs and fabric were remnants left over from another birthday gift - a doll's quilt and little matching pillow, which were handmade to fit a small bed (found at a flea market and painted with white enamel). So many of my favorite things are featured here: sewing, quilting, dolls and especially Beatrix Potter - the fabric was a treasured find!In a world that talks too much, writing is a way to capture thoughts and shine a light on the enterprise of life - at home, in the kitchen, out in the garden and almost always through a camera lens.
