i caught wren outside today in our big willow tree out back reading “anne of green gables”. she was relaxing and enjoying summer the same way i used to as a kid. so it seemed appropriate to title today’s picture memories
high above wren’s head, hiding in the shadows, our cat ashes was watching, ready to pounce when she least expected it 😆
the second day and already i’m behind, but i had a specific image in my head for the word “blanket” and i just couldn’t let it go. it took this long to finish the pajamas i needed to make it work.
after i took the picture though, i saw the reflections in the floor and decided i would rather use this picture for that theme ( i do have three days to catch up after all ;))
so i used this one instead for “blanket”.
and of course how can you have a blanket without a “pillow”?
btw the pj’s are the prototype for my newest line on etsy .
trying a new doll a day challenge. i’ll have to see how many days we can get this month. my record is only 11 so it shouldn’t be too hard to beat should it? we’ll see though…
anyway today’s word was secrets and i caught emrys and noah spying on crystalorn and alys as they whispered secrets to each other on the front porch. seemed perfect to me…
emrys and noah went with me to see the flood and somehow emrys ended up tangled in police tape that was supposed to keep everyone back….
i think these two boys are going to be trouble together…
my adorable girl molly, the pictures don’t do her justice but it continues to pour rain here. half the province is in a state of emergency, much of the city is shut down with the worst flooding in decades, it seems silly to complain when all we have is poor lighting, and no way to go out for pictures without getting soaked, but it has been a very long spring :sigh
i was told that we were going to be getting twin girls at the manor – alys and aerin. imagine my surprise when the twins arrived and they were not 2 girls but a girl and a boy – alys and emrys! i’m not sure where the mix up occured but we are going to have to change the sleeping arrangements … and also try to find different clothes for emrys… the dresses i had got just won’t work! noah is, needless to say, thrilled at the arrival of another boy! 😆
i have to show off wren in this adorable dress by honeythorpe
i saw the dress and snagged it ’cause it was so cute even though none of my girls will wear anything this frilly. but to my surprise it turned out to be the perfect welcome home dress for wren! (which is great ’cause i haven’t been able to sew lately and she would have had to sit around nude otherwise )
crystal’s swap parcel arrived and she was so excited she tore open the parcel and dove in head first while i was setting up the camera! (this is her first swap after all)
she was wide eyed at all the goodies
a pretty felt jumper for those cooler summer evenings, we get a lot of those up here.
a cute capri jupsuit in her favorite color
and a shorty set she couldn’t decide if she was supposed to wear to the beach or to bed , so decided she was just wear it for both! 😆 she also got the stuffie, pillow and cute wig in her favorite color..pink of course!
meet dovey and her power chair. sorry the picture is a bit blurry but i was running late today so i took it on my cell phone and it was hard to hold still while fighting off my overly inquisitive cat!
well i am averaging about 1 pic every three days , sort of 😆
amber and crystal helped me mail the swap parcels and these are the pictures we took at the post office to prove they were mailed. the girls sat on the mailing labels to protect the identity of their partners
as you can see by her hair, crystal was so excited she was bouncing up and down! she can hardly wait for the parcel to get to her new bff.
