It sure does count! Love the photo and the interesting camera angle. Merry Christmas and thanks for the smiles, inspiration, spiritual encouragement and generosity you share through your pretty blog!! It’s always a treat when you post!
Hi Ruby -Thank you for all the time that you put into this blog. I can’t imagine all the hard work it takes to make it happen, but I (along with countless others) are thankful for it. I can always go to cakies for tried and true recipes. I appreciate your honest reviews of the things you create. I also enjoy watching the girls grow up and I learn a lot from your parenting. The girls have best-friends in the comfort of their own home. I enjoy your aesthetic. Most important – I love that you are unafraid to mention God through Jesus Christ on your blog, Matthew 10:32. May you have a Happy New Year.
My Brave has a new found skill of walking, therefore I made her a "walking dress"... Made of some soft, buttery yellow linen (the fabric is a gift from a friend) and is reversible with some vintage reproduction fabric. Come on, every new walker needs to be able to have free little legs in linen! Of course, a trace of her teeny footprints embroidered, along with a tiny "b", onto a sweet pocket is a perfect way to remember this important milestone in my Brave's life.
Then, True needed something equally as sweet. We were going to a jumper party, so she needed a sweet "jumper dress" to mark the jumpin' good time she would have... The lovely, chocolate brown linen (also a gift) would prove to be lightweight to carry her as high as she possibly could jump. Of course, the dress had to be a jumper of sorts to be sure that everything would stay in place as she tries to defy gravity. Plus, with all the kids that would be there (and possibly wearing jumpers too), I didn't want her to get lost or confused with someone else, so to be sure this didn't happen, her name was lovingly stitched in... So True is her name and jumping was her game... Well, it seems she did some tumbling too!!!
These dresses were quite fun to make. I have really been challenged and inspired by manytalentedwomen to make more natural, creative, and heirloom-ish dresses for my girls. I think it is so much more special to have a mama-made dress... maybe they will pass this on to their girls one day!
I always love your family pictures, they are so full of life and joy!
Merry Christmas and lots of love from Sweden 🙂

Yeah, that’s a tough one. We probably fuel the fire rather than put it out.
Totally counts! Thank you for the Christmas card Ruby! 😉
I was hoping so!
Merry Christmas Ruby!! Hope you had a great one with the lovely family
