Getting ready for the B-Day

Next weekend, we will be celebrating the 4th birthday of our sunshine. Her actual birthday is on the 26th but the 17th was the best date. This past week, was all about shopping, making sure the presents would be delivered on time and then sewing... a lot of sewing. 

As it turns out, my daughter is a bit of a fashion victim. She's all about dresses and shoes, handbags and sunglass. The shoes and handbags is probably because of me. The immoderate taste for girly girl dresses, not me .. at all. I'm all for pants, especially jeans. Anyway, we decided it was time to get her a doll that she can dress.. and that is NOT a Barbie doll or a baby doll. Meet our pick: Clara

She looks just like a little girl!! Of course we had to pick the redhead :). The clothing sets are a bit pricey so  the evenings have been spent sewing and sewing and sewing ... doll outfits. A tennis dress, a sundress, 2 skirts that can be paired with the t-shirt and/or overshirt from this picture and a formal long skirt with matching top. I have to say it was fun to create those outfits. I hope our little one will have lots of fun with her new friend.
