happy naw-ruz!

~*~ all dressed up in african garb for the new year ~*~

tonight was the turkeyville naw-ruz party, and i decided to make akevita a little african dress out of one of my headwraps... it came out really cute, but i should admit that i am a horrible seamstress and that the first version i made came out waay too small, so i had to add little panels on the side in order to get her in it... and then, once we got to the party, it started coming apart at the seams! ha! luckily, akeva is just sweet enough and small enough to pull off that raggedy look in style :)

at long last...

a new post!



we've been moving into a new apartment for the last... i don't know... forever? seems like it anyway. moving is no fun and i don't recommend it, ever. just stay put is what i say! and periodically throw away all junk, so you don't end up with a ton of it... it seems to multiply on its own, so be careful...

once we're actually finished moving, i may post photos of the finished product... but seeing the rate our putting-things-away seems to be going, that may never happen...

akeva is growing and learning all sorts of new things... she is now a professional thumb-sucker and has even managed to roll over... she "talks" all the time, especially if i'm on the phone with someone, or if i'm listening to something with a lot of talking... tis very cute :)
