Like a Sailor

For those of you who found it amusing that one of Freyja's first words was tattoo, here are some snapshots of her first ink...which has already washed off...don't worry. After we put it on her, she ran around the house grinning...with her sleeve rolled up like James Dean...and this little attitude like she was something special...yelling "Caw! Caw!"

Dolly Quilt

We found this sweet little baby basket on a thrifting day last summer, and stashed it away for later. Now that Freyja's starting to play with dolls, we took it out...but it didn't seem too cozy, so I made some quick bed linens for it. In an evening, I worked up a little cushioned mattress, a pillow, and a doll-sized quilt from some left-over fabric, batting, seam binding, and yarn I had in the stash.

I think it came out pretty cute! Don't these babies look snuggly?

The Countess

This is sort of nifty...and crazy...all at the same time!

I discovered she could do this one day last week while collating something and reading to myself out loud. What a little nutball. Now she's doing this all the time...one to ten.

FYI: I have no idea why this video is in black and white. It's a little creepy...
