So, one Easter outfit has been ready for awhile....it's just Hannah's dress that is giving me grief (dress #2 actually). Hopefully I can finish it up this morning and show you tonight...(if the weather is good enough for some pictures. I have this idea for a photo shoot.....and I need good weather.)

Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue
Recently I went to the bridal shower my friend was having for her daughter. This is part of the gift that I took: I went with the idea of that old saying something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. What was old?

But, if ... View the Post
Easter Dress: Take 1
Over the weekend I finished up what I thought would be Gracie's Easter dress. This is it: I like it. It's simple and classic and an ENTIRE SIZE TOO BIG!!!! (I guess that is what I get for doing all my sewing while the person I am sewing for is asleep.) The pattern (one I have that is so old it has a patten number instead of a copyright date) is a size 2. And although Grace is almost 3 she is tiny and usually wears size 2 clothing. I thought it would be a perfect fit...but...I thought wrong. It ... View the Post
