the dress that oma made
not exactly what i had envisioned in my head
but i know what to do to next time
i did discover that the kitty cats are far more tolerant of kerchiefs than this busy little girl
i can't wait to see what she fills her many pockets with when we start exploring
the garden, the park and the forest this spring

...
many of you have inquired about the tipi and canoe
they were handmade by oma ( me) with help from my daughter Rebekah
she designed the pattern based on some traditional scandinavian designs
( she is moving to Norway in a few weeks)
and then painted it onto a semicircle cut from a painter's dropcloth
with textile paint, mixed by her, in a shade of dark indigo blue
the canoe was fashioned out of a large piece of brown industrial thickness felt that arounna gave me a few years ago
the shape and design was loosely based on traditional birch bark canoes
the other materials were leather scraps ( again from arounna) , hemp twine and pine moulding
