Lately the girls have been playing with the dolls I made them for Christmas. The dolls in our house have a rather varied assortment of names. We have dolls with sensible names like Lucy and Greta (who is I believe is named for the girls' cousin) and then there are dolls with names like Chocolate, Peppa, and my personal favorite, Silverware. Julia has a fetish for flowery sounding words. They make me happy, these dolls who have very much become little personalities in our home.

I am very exited because I found out about a kind of baby doll that you can make that is stuffed with millet and is very heavy. You stitch little sleeping eyes on it and it is a sleeping baby. THey are supposed to be very good first baby dolls and I want to make one for Ronia for Christmas.

Woops I need Ben to fix my picture for me . . . .

Your picture on the sidebar lacks Ronia. It is a picture of Julia looking just like Ronia. I remember an adorable photo of her wearing this hat, I think it is from when you were in Gravagna. Your baby girls are always so precious. Hope to see you around Hatkes!

ooo, I love the millet doll. We have some buckwheat pillows that are lovely. Do you know if you can add dried lavender to the millet? I guess why not. A little sleeping lavender baby sounds lovely.
