i love getting presents, doesn´t everyone? but homemade ones are the best. i would just like to show off some of the great things people have made for me.
homemade printscreening shirt
efrat and momma made the birdy on my shirt while we were in new york november 2007, it is such a cute birdy. i like to point at it and say "peep peep".
summer dress & sun bonnet
it is summer time again, so farmor made this amazingly cute summer dress and bonnet for my birthday. she even made another set in blue. they are so cool and comfortable, and besides i look adorable in them!
tie-dye shirt
efrat and dan sent this beauty of a shirt to me for my birthday. talk about thoughtful people. no wonder my parents think they are so great. and what great colors this shirt has, my mom obviously thinks it is very cool.
rocking horse
my grandma bonnie (mormor) found this wooden rocking horse at a loppis and painted it all pretty for me and gave it to me for my birthday! she added all kinds of cute touches, including the little gray polka dots on its bum.
starfish sweater
this beauty was hand knitted by my mom´s dear friend efrat. it is just gorgeous. the sweater is the color of the ocean, due to my parents addiction to diving, of course the starfish are with the same theme. i know i look adorable in it!
princess dress
my auntie ashley and auntie liz sent this stunning dress to me from the states for christmas. apparently they had made simliar princess dresses for all the girl cousins on my mom´s side when the family got together for thanksgiving. luckily we were in sweden, so my mom did have to help sew them all. but i just love my dress, i wear it every chance i get.
sea creature mobile
this is a favorite of mine, now that i am old enough to grab things my mom and dad lower the mobile so i can just grab hold and play with the fishies, the seahorse is my favorite, though it is hard to see in this picture. efrat and my mom´s other dear friend jennifer with the help of efrat´s fiancee dan made this creation. they are just so creative my mom doesn´t stop rambling on about how amazing they are. i hope to meet them both at efrat and dan´s wedding in may.
farmor summer dress
my grandma anita (farmor) made me this summer outfit, she even made another top that matches the skirt with the red berries as well. she makes such pretty designs with her sewing machine. going to be easy to stay cool in warm places in this cute outfit!
baby sleeping bag and crumble
our neighbor dorthea made this ever so cute baby sleeping bag for me, it even has my name on it. my little friend in her own sleeping bag is what dorthea called a crumble. my mom loves this bag cause i am a bit of wiggle worm and this way she always knows my little feet are covered and warm while i am sleeping.
family tree mobile
this was a bit of a group effort. my great auntie annie put the pictures of my family on fabric, then my grandma designed the stars and then my mom cut them out sewed them together and assembled my "family tree mobile". mom puts me to sleep with this mobile when she wants me to sleep in my own bed. sleepy, sleepy time.
there have been more, for instance a great mobile my cousin emma made for me, but mom could not find the picutres for it, so when she gets more organized they will be up.
