The weekend was full of all kinds of selfish pursuits! There was sewing and reading (and not one stitch of knitting! What??? Really, not one single stitch!)
Perhaps the best thing was this lovely little dress for Genevieve!
But, today these words are filling my mind, the absolute truth of them echoing in my head!
“The sun was warm but the wind was chill.
You know how it is with an April day.
When the sun is out and the wind is still,
You’re one month on in the middle of May.
But if you so much as dare to speak,
a cloud come over the sunlit arch,
And wind comes off a frozen peak,
And, you’re two months back in the middle of March.”
– Robert Frost, Two Tramps in Mud Time, 1926
So, silently I welcome April – hoping to not encourage the clouds and wind to blow us back into March!
OMGosh that dress is GORGEOUS!!! What a lucky girl, that Genevieve. 🙂
That dress is beautiful and it will look so sweet on Genevieve! (Also, that is a perfect April poem!)
Genevieve is going to look absolutely adorable in that sweet little dress!
Generally I’d say Robert Frost is spot on, but today’s walk in to work felt more like the middle of January. Brrr!
The colors and cloth are so nice together, perfect for a summer day.
Robert Frost always writes just so well, perfect also.
Selfish – no, self – yes.
What a fitting poem to start the month.
What a gorgeous little dress – so cute and love the fabrics you used. Quite blustery and chilly here today…thankfully it is to warm up in a day or so.
Such a sweet little dress! XO April is such a fickle month. I welcome it — (and besides. . . it brings us closer to May.)
That dress is ADORABLE!!!
aw, that dress!! and that poem … we wore jackets and gloves and hats on our walk this morning. but at least it didn’t snow (yikes!!!)
That little dress is so cute!! I bookmarked the link so I can make one for my granddaughter. Thanks for the link and also the words by Frost. April is cool today but this week promises a little warmer weather. Hooray.
That dress is adorable and Robert Frost hit the feel of early April perfectly.
Miss G is going to love love love that dress!! Can you believe it is April??
That dress is so great! And that poem…thank you very much!
Adorable dress! Love the poem-am finding that despite the glorious sun there is still just the bare hint of chill which I’m totally fine with as it feels more like Spring that way.
