i know this blog has become heavily kirsten-voiced, but Daniel's been hard at work—at work—leaving me home with the pictures, and plus I think we're probably still playing catch up a bit...
so i thought i'd show this off today. i made this for my friend sarah's brand new baby girl right before we left for atlanta. this was the very first time i've ever made baby clothes and it was super fun. at one point i had the "bodice" all unfolded, but sewn together basically and i folded it up to become what it is and almost started crying. it was sooooo tiny!
plus, this gave me an excuse to go to what some say is the coolest local fabric store ever, bolt, here in portland. it definitely lived up to expectation with gorgeous fabrics. i could spend all our money there, but then daniel might be wearing gray and yellow flowers around, and no one would like that.

INCREDIBLE! Can you make Molly 100dresses just like that one???
She'd be the coolest girl in Athens, for sure!
Just checking in on you...

That is an absolutely gorgeous dress! And you are right, baby clothes are a bit challenging but fun to make! They are tiny....oh the memories it brings back....I, at one time, made Valerie's clothes, baby doll clothes, and Barbie clothes! From photos in years past, Valerie would not be as complimentary of my skills, that's for sure! But as for your dress, great job!
And I'm glad you both had a safe trip and are settling down to life now....
The little dress is adorable, you do such a good job with your sewing. I know they will appreciate your thoughtfulness for making such a beautiful dress. You amaze me with all you do. Love,

I'm a little behind, but, Kirsten, I am SO IMPRESSED! That is beautiful and cute as a button and all those things that baby clothes should be! And I agree with what Mama said... I had all sorts of cool clothes for my dolls but most importantly, ME... I mean, who else had a black-flowered-romper-with-matching-scrunchie outfit for their fourth-grade picture?
I am glad things are going well for you guys out there. We miss you!
This dress is adorable! I LOVE the fabric! You should open up a cute little boutique! haha I bet Daniel would go for it!
