Dress Up

Genevieve makes some very creative dress up outfits, completely by herself.

This one uses an old slip, dresser scarf, and chip clip and her adored high heels from a friend.  She looks bridal, but I didn't say that to her.

Here she raided the winter wraps (it was in the 90s outside) . . .

which conveniently allows me to add two more things to the Record.  I made her bonnet using angry chicken's pattern with the colorful flannel on outside and pale blue and white polka dot flannel lining.  She's wearing it with the front brim at her neck, and her face peeping out the neck hole.

I also made knitted her scarf and (it's not well illustrated in the photo) embroidered bright yarn flowers on it.  The flowers were supposed to ease the transition between the two black and white parts where I ran out of yarn.  I'm hoping the scarf is long enough and beloved enough to carry her through childhood.

  1. I thought she looked more Biblical than Bridal. Cute, either way.

  2. The bonnet and the scarf are both darling, and so is she!

  3. The EMU t-shirt ties together nicely the biblical and the bridal, I thought. :)
