I finally got a chance to sew up the Violette Field Threads Clara. Or rather, Baby Clara. This is size 12-18m and it fits perfectly. Maybe a bit too perfectly since it's going to get chilly around here and I'll have to layer it. I used some of the nice Walmart fabric you can find around, and it's really nice--as nice as anything from Joanns or Hancock. The Clara is a gorgeous pattern and I've seen so many amazingly beautiful designs around. I'll definitely make some more, but maybe not so tiny. Those bodice ruffles are kind of a pain.
I also got a new lens for my camera. My kit lens only autofocuses when it feels like it which is super inconvenient. I wouldn't mind manual focus if I'm doing still life, but toddlers are another story. I've been wanting to try out a 50mm for years now so I took the plunge. I'm still trying to figure it out, really, but I love these pictures of Amelia. I'm sorry my blog has just become Amelia Oversharing.
There was an airplane up there.
This is one of her main faces. Apparently I make one similar and this is her version.
Practicing the princess wave.
Another Classic face.
Oh man I love this girl.
And this is how excited she gets when Maddie comes home from a run.

The dress is darling!! I can see how it would lend itself to lots of fun fabric patterns here and there. And who could mind some Amelia oversharing??!
Ah, I love the look on her face when she see's her sister!!! You and I don't know what that's like. : /
She sure can come up with some precious faces so I can understand your wanting a fancy camera!!!
