Jemima turned 5 last week! It feels so different having two kids at school who really aren't little little anymore, and Jemima turning 5 really emphasized this for me!
Wow, where did those 5 years go? *sniff* Happy Belated Birthday Jems, love from Mummy's Blog.
We celebrated the day with a toilet paper birthday crown I made the night before, after reading this blog post, and the giving of a handmade-by-me doll (and various other presents including a bike-with-purple-streamers!)
I love this pattern. This is the fourth one I have made! Now, each of my children have their own doll. Caleb's is the zombie variation, and Eve got hers for Christmas 2010. (Eve has a somewhat perplexing fluff addiction, so in recent times she has picked holes in the doll's bonnet to eat the wool felt fibres.... so her doll needs a new, thicker wool felt bonnet.)
Jemima requested that her doll have hair rather than a bonnet, so I used instructions from one of the dolls in the Wee Wonderfuls book.
I really love making dolls. And I really love giving them to my children.

Beautiful doll.
Two children at big school. So hard to fathom and yet it will be us too before I even know it. *sob*
Happy Birthday Jemima! Lucky girl getting such a beautiful doll for her birthday (and a bike with streamers!)
