Oh my darlin'
Oh My Darlin' Clementine Skirt from Lola Nova.
As the last of the light begins to seep from the sky, a barefoot girl in braids runs pell-mell through the woods. She 'whoops' and 'hollers'; she leaps after dragon flies, and sings a song her mama taught her (she changes the words). She hops and twirls in her skirt of many colors. She spies a spider and and exclaims, "Oh, he's so beautiful, he's my best friend!" Just then, her mama shouts from the garden yonder, "Clementine, come here a minute and try this on for me, I want to take some pictures!" Suddenly, the brown eyed girl bursts out from the leaves - scattering the chickens with a squawk and a huff. "No thank you," she says sweetly, then turns on her heels singing back into the trees.
Original design and pattern from Lola Nova. Girls size 6. This makes item #3 completed for the 'Etsy Experiment'.
...and oh, on that topic, I have a wee bit of gossip for you! I'm afraid it's going to have to wait 'till next time though, I'm a woman pressed for time.

It's lovely, especially the little bows.
That's so pretty. Unfortunately my daughter is a real tomboy so getting her to wear anything that isn't jeans is a real battle!
I'd love to wear that!! And by the way, Clementine is one of my most favourite names...
Thank you for popping by again, I do love reading your comments. And I loved the way you described the sea as whispering and calling to us - you are so right - that is just how it is for me, when I have to take my trips to LR. I hope you can go to your 'calling ocean' very soon.
Happy days

Lovely, lovely - I wish I were 6 again! Or even had a 6-year-old to buy it for!

I never get tired of telling you how talented you are!!! Honest, I really did make little dresses for Diane when she was your baby's age! Nothing, however, compared to this.
