I have been spending a lot of time thinking about these girls. I don't want to buy them a lot of stuff. They like stuff and they do ask for stuff. I just figured that I could make some of their gifts and minimize the amount that comes from the store without leaving them feeling like Santa let them down this year. I made a bunch last year - as did Andy, the girls love their doll beds he made for them.
Instead, I am working on a few things. I have started Emma's sweater (though it may turn into a birthday gift) and I also let them pick out yarn colors for hats. But, I really wanted to come up with some other gifts that would bring smiles to their faces, and not require a trip to a store. I started making hairclips this week. I am using the wool felt that I already have and some plain metal clips that were also already on hand. Easy. And cute, but they are upstairs so the picture attached to this post is of the cute girls instead. The plan to make doll clothes for their dolls is still in place, though the amazing outfits on Etsy has left me feeling so tempted (to buy). I want to emphasize how much I don't like sewing doll clothes. That might explain things later on.
We photographed a baby only 9 days old today. When Sophie saw a few of the pictures, she asked if we could have a baby just like him. We are photographing another baby tomorrow, she is a one year old now.
