It's a Beret.. no it's a Bra!


Flattering picture huh? Gotta love Julia's crocheted hat.


Dolly is wearing a bra. A stuffed one at that. Don't ask.

I'm off to pick up Christmas cards at Costco and do some birthday shopping for William!

wow...I´d like to know how to make such a wonderful hat...I can do many things knitting sewing etc. but I never learned how to do crocheting :D

and the colourful top that Annalyn is wearing is perfect! I will not ask about the second picture because you told us not to do so... :D

Connie said...

The picture is priceless! Not so much for Dolly wearing a bra... but she is SMILING so much despite being dressed up like that. She's such a good dog. :-)

Hello, I love all your pictures. I have a few questions. Does Sveta still carry a accent. I noticed it very much in the video.. Also, did you guys ever get the growth harmones for Anna? Just curious on how that was going..

That is a nice hat. I really, really, really like Annalyn`s sweater! I would love to wear those lovely colors.

As for the bra . . . I`m not sure which is more disturbing . . . that a chihuahua needs a stuffed bra or the fact that it`s around her neck instead of her chest . . .

Those are so cute. Your dog is much more willing than mine. We dress him up for Halloween but he dosen't like it this year he was chicken.

I love the hat! knitting, chocheting, not my skills. Or probably more accurately I've never had the patience to try them to find out:)

I like your new family picture but I'm seeing a "new one" I don't remember seeing before (the brown hair boy next to your daughter that is in the pink - far right side with brown striped shirt) - who is that? LOL
I do know Dennis though :)

Mandy - who is jealous cause I can't even get a family of 7 to all look at the same time! LOL

Christine! That little beret is darling. Tell Julia that my Emma (9 yrs) said she wants one in pink!

The hat looks cute on you.

I used to love to dress up my laid back cat when I was a little girl. Your doggy is good natured.

It's great that the girls are creative with handwork. I was raised that way (European ethics) and passed it on.

I wish the whole world were made of crotchet. It would be a songer, gentler world wouldn't it.

Julie said...

I know you said not to ask... But I'm DYING to know! *rofl*

ROFL that's all I have to say.

My two year old will pull bras out of the laundry and rush to grab a baby doll. She comes back, puts the bra on and "nurses" the baby. I guess the "maymay" only works if you have the right bra. ;) She's also recently learned that mammals (cows, sheep, horses, dogs) make milk. If we had a dog, I'm sure I'd find it with a bra on too.

Have a nice day.....

Very cute pics!

What a cute hat! I could tell you a story about my 9-year-old (male) cousin dressing up as Britney Spears with his sister's stuffed bra, but I won't. Oh, wait, I just did. :-)

Mike and Gail said...

We have pictures of the girls with Gma bra on their heads. LOL... We also put it on our little dog and she was so HAPPY!! LOL... She was finally one of the girls..

Love the hat and the doggy bra. Too cute. It's giving my girls ideas about our chihuahua.

I have a question: I am wanting to buy a "Family Organizer" and have seen many, but don't want to buy the wrong one.
Do you use one to keep track of everyone/everything? If so, what are you using and are you happy with it?

Some of them are really big--3-ring binders and some smaller. Maybe I should have two. One to keep at home and one to carry w/me for appts. and things.

I would love to know how you do it? In a few weeks, I will have 6 kids in the house, not nearly as much as you, but am still desperately needing the organizational tool.

And you are very welcome for the baby doll.

I LOVE the beret! Maybe Julia can go into business? I bet several Mamas and daughters would love to buy a hat like that! Maybe she can make one for each of her sisters for Christmas? If it takes too long and she doesn't have time she can start now and get a jump on next Christmas. ;o)

I thought Dolly was looking a bit curvier these days, ROFL! Just another one of the girls.

Tracy said...

Funny pictures. The one with your dog is great! Is it me or does your hair look different? Maybe a new cut/color? Looks great!

Erica said...
