She is a year and a half now, my little girl. She is as adorable and beautiful as she looks. But her birth almost took me away from this world. I thought I had recovered from it, or that I would shortly, but now I'm not so sure. We did the drawing together. I scribbled along, without really thinking of what I was drawing. And then came these faces and this little girl. As a girl, I used to draw a lot. And what I mostly drew was; girls. I liked this one on the right, she looks a little apprehensive and timid, but curious too - waiting for what will come next. So I copied her and put her in my blog. She represents something of what I feel myself these days.

Your daughter is so beautiful and expressive! I also love her sweater (what is it??).
Drawings can be so revealing, can't they?
Thank you Eliza! The sweater is an adaption/ simplification of a Elizabeth Zimmermann baby baby sweater. It's a super pattern, you can find it in the book Knitters almanac (or maybe as a pdf file on the web?)
You're such a creative girl, and I'm glad you did recover, if not completely. Take care, and enjoy your printing, drawing, knitting and that adorable little daughter!
She is beautiful! (And I love the sweater!)
Litt av et uttrykk på henne, hun er veldig fin. Jeg liker også godt uttrykket på din nye cover-girl!
Hun er så nydelig.
Det tar tid å leges, vet du - både fysisk og psykisk.
Tegningene dine kvalifiserer til trykk! Jeg er så imponert. Ha en fin søndag. Gleder meg til å høre mer om flytteplaner.
