“Puuheppa” overalls with a few more inches
Some of you will remember these overalls that I made Frida not too long ago. I still love the pattern, and they are just wonderful in use – practical, comfy (I think), and sweet looking, just the way I like it in... Continue reading →

The happy girl in her new dress
So here is my tiny model for the Cilla leaf dress. And yep, she is standing on her own! She doesn’t walk unsupported yet, but she can stand quite well. We have been trying to encourage a bit of walking,... Continue reading →
