Once my daughter was born, I knitted her a dress in blue, although she had plenty of pink and frilly items, too! She grew up playing with trucks and was very into dinosaurs. I like the idea of gender-neutral clothes.<br /><br /> Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-53702865365953475742017-09-08T19:04:29.152+01:002017-09-08T19:04:29.152+01:00As a mum on a budget my kiddies wear whatever we h...As a mum on a budget my kiddies wear whatever we have.

I am so with you, Angela, on the labelling at an early age of gender specific roles/clothes. Fortunately our daughter grew up with a dad who showed her by example that you could do/achieve anything-people constantly told him it was a pity we only had a girl! I agree that many clothes still focus on the rough and tumble element for boys and the frilly, pretty element for girls-my late MIL made lots of plain, srviceable clothes for my daughter when she was small. Hope you're settled at work but I well remember the start of the year when exhaustion seemed a constant state. I'm off to teach a voluntary sewing class where one of the ladies has dementia and we're all helping her as best we can to stay part of our wee group. Happy weekend.
