Little tree

purple pants and breezy top

A little outfit I've sewn for Lieveke. The long-sleeved top is not quite finished yet, but I wanted to show the funky fabric. The cord pants are rather winterish and on the large side but Lieveke will grow into them. Her legs have grown with 2cm in the last 2 months. My little tree.

Kokka trees

The little tree is having her second birthday this sunday. We're having a big party with a big cake with big candles (this is what she's asking for -especially the BIG candles). Gabriel and I are giving Lievie a big bed for her 'big girl'-day. She is all excited about it! A big bed asks for a revamp of her room : I'm doing stuff with the above tree-fabrics... Can't show, it's a surprise!

Party-dress

I swapped baby-dresses (pardon, 'big girl'-dresses) with Charlotte, so this sweet green linen dress is what Lieveke will wear on her party. Thanks heaps C!

The sun is a nice warm ball

That's what Lieveke said the other day. And really it is. Through the Tamarillo tree. For weeks Lievie's been staring at the 'tree-tomato's' to see if they were getting red. Yup. They are now and this is delicious : vanilla-icecream with tamarillo-heart, whipped cream and dark brown sugar. Hmmm.

Knitting last week (and this week, nearly there) : a cotton cross-over jerkin for Lieveke, as it happens in the same vibrant limey color as the party-dress.

I've been drooling over my two new Japanese sewing books - ahhh these books are just so good, i wanna sew every single thing in them! Look :

C-thru-dress from 'one piece sewing'

Flower gown from "more straight stitch dresses"

No, not a sewing book, just some pretty light dancing in our lounge

Have a lovely weekend! I know I will (party!). Gosh she's turning two. Already. -Lies
