Vintage Doll Clothes

This post is a tribute to my talented mother. All the knittings where done by her. She used to knit our pullovers, jackets... and after some calculations (that I would be unable to do) she was reducing the sizes and knitting the same clothes for my little doll. I loved to see my doll dressed like me! Coming back from school I was so happy to have the surprise of finding those sweet little things on my bed. 

The first year I went skiing my mother knitted for me and my doll this cute jumper with its bonnet.

The first two pictures show some other doll clothes from my childhood. 

All those little doll clothes are the only remains, rescued from the clearing away obsession of my mother. My little favorite doll was given, as well as all my toys. I wish I still had them, they were such treasures!

Baby boy finished top

Yesterday was such a lovely day that I decided to bring my just finished top in the garden 

to take some pictures.

As I mentioned it in this post, with one Layer Cake I had the possibility to make two baby quilts.

For this purpose, I kept the most boyish colors, plus some reds, and I did a baby boy top.

As I am not very fond of gardening, my garden always looks a bit of a mess, but at this season 

I love it as it is, full of grass, wild spring flowers : poppies, daisies... spread here and there.

Some daisies even grew wild in a pot!

How pretty are those blue little flowers! Some yellow kind of daisies grew around them,
like to emphasize them!

To all of you I wish a joyful Easter!
