A project she thought of and completed almost entirely on her own!

Heidi's New Favorite Dress (and it's not a princess one!)
Auntie Summer brought Heidi a delightful dress from Africa (I think Kenya) when she came to visit. It fits her perfectly, but was a little cool for fall and winter here so I sewed an under dress for her from the same pattern as her nightgown out of brown cotton.
She loves it and wants to wear it everywhere, church, the doctor's office, the grocery store...
She doesn't exactly look African, but I think it's pretty cute on her anyway.

Meet Dandelion
Since she's lasted for more than a week, I decided it's time to introduce her.
People of Blogland, meet our new kitty Dandelion.
Her name was an issue of hot debate around here. Heidi wanted "Miriam" like the last kitty who disappeared after a few days (Miriam, apparently, is the perfect name, as in, "I wish you would have named me Miriam, didn't you even think of it?!") while Hannah was set on "Baby" ("She a baby kitty, Momma" being her very reasonable explanation). One day Heidi suddenly suggested Dandelion and Hannah said "O-tay, Dani-lion", so Dandelion it is.
As much as Heidi likes her, I think it's Hannah who will become our critter girl. Every time she's outside the cat is either following her around...
or she's carrying it.
I'm really hoping she makes a difference in our prolific rodent population.

New Nightgowns
Heidi is into all things dresses. preferably gowns, everything she wears of her own volition includes a skirt. Everything she does, Hannah wants to do too. This was a bit of a problem at night because the weather's turning chilly and the only nightgowns owned were short sleeved. I pulled some flannel out of my stash and somehow squeezed in time to make the girls some cozy nightwear. I think I'll have to find time to make another set, these are being well loved!

One Man's Junk...
Want to see my latest treasure?
Karl found it on a recent trip to the dump.
A good scrub and some air in the tires later and I have new stroller.
Hooray for a scavenger husband!

They make jewelry and dress you in it before you're big enough to protest.
