Ronja picked it out. I’m not too good at letting her choose the fabric (it’ll all end up pink), but this time she got to. I gave her the opportunity to pick the fairy fabric, and she did at first, but dropped it when she realized there wasn’t enough for this blouse as well as a summer dress in a few months. Good thing I had the “Floral Fantasma” from Alexander Henry as well. She went with some red dots from Moda for the neck line casing and sleeve edges. It’s girly, that’s for sure – and she loves it!
Today I made a blouse from the same pattern (Onion 20022) for Frida. It’s finished but I haven’t got pictures yet, so you’ll have to wait a bit for that one.
In the meantime, we had a wonderful weekend. Nice and slow – we’re not getting out much at the moment, because we really, really don’t want Frida to catch a cold or something before her surgery next week. Her odds health-wise are pretty bad at the moment too – Mads has been having a severe cold this past week, and Ronja has just had a fever for a few days. Frida is still in the clear, and I am as well, so we’re keeping our fingers crossed. Of course, if she’s sick in any way when it’s time for the operation, they won’t operate, and they may push it a few months. Anyway, there’s no way we can keep the girls away from each other – above you see Ronja reading to Frida.
Mads finished building the small fence out front today – all it needs now is some paint.
Astrid, Ronja is so gorgeous. And I love the photo of her reading to Frida. I hope Frida’s able to stay healthy to have her surgery, I’ll keep my fingers crossed! Of course, the shirt is gorgeous – I want one in my size 🙂

Det er da noget meget fint stof Ronja har valgt – det er pink, men ikke über prinsessepink. Smukt syet selvfølgelig.
Jeg krydser fingre med jer – håber, det må lykkes!
Jeres hus ser så fint og hyggeligt ud – og blusen er, som alt det andet, du laver, rigtig sød!
she did a fab job of selecting fabrics.
Ronja new blouse is gorgeous! I love the photo of the two sisters 🙂 Best wishes for Frida’s surgery next week.
Hvor er det kært det stof. Jeg kan godt forstå at din datter valgte det! Jeg elsker virkelig de stærke farver.. super dejlig kjole.. vh christina
What an adorable picture of your daughter. I love the shirt too! What cute fabric.
Ronja is so beautiful and her new blouse suits her perfectly! The photo of the girls reading is darling.
I’ll keep my fingers crossed for your little girl. All will go well, you’ll see !

I love it all!
Keeping you in my thoughts for the surgery and recovery.
I love it, as always, such great sewing!
Hey all – thank you so much! Sorry I haven’t replied earlier – we do have a few things to think about these days. 🙂 Thanks a bunch!
The blouse has “spring” written all over it! Love it!
That is the sweetest sister picture ever. I adore that top – I checked out the Onion pattern online – so did you just sew the casing closed and add elastic inside? Did you need to make any other changes I really like the pattern and want to try it!
astrid, that top is beautiful and your sewing is amazing!
