Bird in Leaves skirt and bag

Saffron Craig - Wednesday, June 02, 2010
On Saturday I was sketching little girl's skirts. I thought to myself "stop procrastinating Saffron and sew one up"!  At least my sketches nutted out how easy it might be to cut and sew.



I set the sewing machine up in front on the computer and sewed up a few skirts for Sequoia. She loved it so much she might just have slept in it. Hmm, yes I don't do that every day.



I spent Sunday afternoon in the park. The rain stopped for an hour or two and it was very social, it felt like the neighborhood had been staring out the windows waiting for the rain to pause so we could get outside. I  chatted away to my neighbor until it was dark. 

We took a few pictures of our daughter, she was so happy to be outside, she was a blur in the park.



She grabbed her bag made by Selkie Smith Design loaded it with cars and puppies.



I thought I should show a detail of the skirt . This is the kind of image I had in my mind all those months ago when the Bird in Leaves and Goose Bubbles designs were simple black and white sketches.



I thought I had better show the love: I snatched her into a tight hug!  At least most of her stayed still for the second the shutter closed capturing us.
