Maja's 18th century hat

Modelled by my lovely assistant Gudrun, one of my first dolls as a child.




Taking the advice from isiswardrobe I used a straw place mat as brim and made a crown of silk taffeta. "Indiska", the shop where I bought it, didn't have any natural coloured place mat, so I ended up with a green one. I am so excited about this hat that I may buy a few more place mats in different colours and make hats for myself.

Stripe photos

Yes, I am very much in love with my pink striped dress. Today I tried out my outfit for next friday's party and took lots of photos, most of them not fit for public consumption, but there are a few that are, like this one:




But I'm not going to bring Maja's birthday umbrella to the party.

Yesterday

Yesterday was Maja's fifth birthday. And she got a bicycle.
