Wouldn't it be dandy
to live in a world made of candy?
My gingerbread house
will smell ever so sweet,
and bright jelly beans
will pave out the street.
Giant lollipop trees
will reach to the clouds,
and I'll eat tons of toffee -
no grown-ups allowed.
I'll live in this world
with my bear and my doll,
and my good friend the dentist
will take care of us all.

How fascinated he looks by them both, these photographs of yours are truly stunning and your little nephew is so tender and sweet !
ReplyDeleteYou had a gorgeous idea to make not only the blanket but also the ball with the same yarns and the same colours, I'm sure that he's caught by this, first of all ... he's so tender !
Thank you for this so beautiful post, my dearest Amalia,
may your Sunday be blessed with love

you can almost see the man he will be 20 years from now. Cute idea of the matching ball and blanket.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think of that but you are right, there is that look about him.

He is so cute, love that expression on his face in the first picture! He can easily grab hold of the big ball you made him, can't he? The colors in the blanket and ball are very cool. And to live in a gingerbread house would be also!
ReplyDeleteExcept in the summer! What happens in the summer?
DeleteOhhhh precious.... And blowing that bubble in the second photo! :-)))))))))
ReplyDeleteSuper gifts and such sweet pictures. Jo x
ReplyDeleteOooh....I love the idea of your candy world. Could we cover some parts with chocolate, too?? I suspect the dentists would have very, very fat purses in this little world. Your crochet is beautiful, as is your nephew Ariel; he is so very sweet. The crochet ball is very cool...love, love the colours. I never leave your lovely place, Amalia, without a smile on my face. Your blog is the most delightful of places to visit!
ReplyDeleteChocolate is a must!
