I plan on making my girls a dress for each of their birthdays (Holly's first birthday dress can be seen here). For Holly's second birthday dress, I used some bright Heather Bailey fabric and Simplicity pattern 2193. The dress came together beautifully and quickly and I think it perfectly reflects her busy and bright personality. Holly has changed so much from her first birthday. She's incredibly energetic and fun. There's always something going on with Holly. Her emotional scale has become broader and she feels things more deeply. She's currently obssessed with "owies," hers and ours. She is quick to ask someone if their okay when they're sad or hurt. She informs me when Greta is crying and has continued to love on Greta like mad, sometimes with too much vigor. Holly's headstrong and stubborn and knows what she wants and when she wants it. Occasionally, we butt heads. I love her death. She's my girl now and forever. I adore my Holly Bear.
