[You can see by the scrapes on her nose she is getting more mobile,
and has finally started some tentative walking!]
Lavinia seems to have inherited Douglas' fair complexion, which means I worry a bit more about protecting her from the sun. My mom came to the rescue recently by sewing her a cute little navy and white polka-dotted hat. To make it festive for Independence Day, I handmade a little patriotic rosette for decoration, basically following this technique for the red rose (I didn't have fabric glue, so I hand-sewed it together). The striped fabric is simply a straight scrap gathered and attached to the back of the rose.
She'll at least tolerate the hat for a little while before attempting to remove it.
I'm a 31-year-old Christian. My hope is to live a quiet life filled with home and hearth, family and friends, loveliness and simplicity. I'm wife to Douglas (married October 2008) and mother to Edmund (born November 2009), Lavinia (born May 2012), and Rosamund (born February 2014).

So precious! And your patriotic embellishment is quite festive. Sweet little Lavinia -- I just love her expressions in both photos!
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me that I need to make a sun hat for my little one, too -- summer in Florida is quite unforgiving.
Blessings,

Such cuteness! Love the look on that little face. :)
ReplyDeleteAdorable. That fabric combo is so winning. I just made a hat for my fair-skinned girl, too, and I need to take a picture and blog about it!
ReplyDeleteSo, so cute. I've never tried to make those fabric flowers before, but I just may have to!
