#148: Greta Spider

Today is my oldest daughter's birthday, and I told Greta that I would make a spider to celebrate her birthday that she could have when my spider project is finished. Her favorite color is green, and blue makes this spider snappy. Plus, like her mother, Greta looks best in blue. G is for Genuine, which perfectly describes Greta. She's thoughtful, caring, sensitive, a bit overdramatic at times, imaginative, and well, adorable. Have you seen her freckles and her icy blue eyes? My little girl is growing up.
