Another 50s pattern

I just got another pattern in the mail. It has a sunray pleated skirt. I think it may be hard to find someone who does that professionally anymore, but I'll look around. Otherwise I will have to try it myself :)

I just came back from town. I forced Rickard and Maja (who didn't need to be forced really) to come along when I went jeans-shopping.

Tonight Maja has drawn pictures of everyone in the family, and quite a few others. With eyes and nose and hair and arms and (sometimes) legs! My little girl is getting so big!
