Despite all the baby-lust talk of yesterday, there are no worries that I know exactly who is my littlest baby. She, of course, is quite clear about that fact too. She's just switched from "Mama" (what the boys call me) to "Momeeeeeee" with a very elongated, sing-song 'e' at the end. I love it. So does she.
I'm pretty sure that for every dress made for a shop, a friend, or a swap, there's one for Miss Lady A made too. This particular Adelaide dress was made from this vintage pattern (Simplicity 7880), and with a reproduction fabric of which I cannot remember the maker. I also cannot remember who sent me this lovely vintage pattern, which annoys me to no end. But I'm grateful to whoever it was. ;) I don't know why I love working with vintage patterns so much - I know it's more than the style and the nostalgia (I do love dreaming about who else used this pattern for another little girl 30 or so years ago...), and I think it has something to do with the paper. Is it thicker than modern patterns? Or is it the instructions - which seem more concise to me? I'm not sure.
Obviously, I have not bored of having the sun around yet. I'm sparing you the gushing about it, but apparently cannot resist in the photography. But really now - all that wood? that fabric? that skin? the SUN? Good stuff.
As I seem to do, the dress is a bit big for her yet. No worries, she's growing like crazy, and it will fit in no time. And she's happy as can be that she's wearing a dress with cats on it. This way, she can walk around all day, hollering 'TAT!' (cat) and pointing to herself, which really, is quite fun for all of us.
Except for when she meets up with Luka, and switches to her deep and low, best rottweiller impression of "woo woo!" (dog).
And this one? Well...it's just her little form of entertaining. It works. The boys double over in laughter and all is well throughout the house.
I think I just broke a photos per post record. Seven photos for one little pink dress? Yup, that sounds about right to me.
