We’re just going to pretend that this post is full of pictures of ripe luscious strawberries and tidy little jars of jam all laid out in a cheerful vignette. And while we are pretending all of that, we might as well pretend that I actually did get around to making those little felt strawberries for Galen’s kitchen set. Oh yes, do be sure that your mind’s eye includes some charming pictures of those as well.
I did a bit better this year with putting the harvest by…
1 qt of strawberry-rhubarb pie filling
1 qt of strawberry pie filling
9 pints of strawberry jam
7 pints of strawberry syrup
1 gallon of frozen strawberries
And the Wee Girl got a new strawberry print dress to wear for strawberry picking, because as it turns out, I really am just that ridiculous.
Pinafore dress (number 3) from Ottobre 4/2007, with some little red bloomers underneath.
I’m very sad to say that I’ve come to the conclusion that pink is not really her color. Or maybe just this shade? It’s not that she doesn’t look adorable. She always looks adorable! It’s just that I think there are other hues that better complement her, a rather painful admission considering the very pink something currently on my knitting needles…
She's really adorable, as are all of your babes. As far as pink goes, a very icy/pale pink and/or very bright fuscia type pink would probably suit her coloring best. I have this trouble, also! Cotton candy pink, sadly, is too neutral. She needs the stark contrasts of color, I'd bet!
Blessings,

I don't know what's on your needles — but I had a similar moment with yellow for one of my boys while making a sweater. It was knit bottom up, so I made some broad stripes and added colors that were more for him. I know you've probably thought of that, but just in case…
Again I say, your children are beautiful.
