Getting back into the blogging habit is proving to be harder than I thought! But it’s not for lack of making projects. I’m still crocheting away on my secret project. Thank goodness these are the last bits of crochet before my part is done.
My girls were invited to a fairy princess theme birthday party, so we got out the sewing machine and got busy. Here are their dresses. It was my niece’s fourth birthday, so most of the party guests were small. Eva felt that as a senior level fairy princess, she should wear a more mature outfit. Her skirt is a layer of sheer flower print fabric over a black underskirt.
When the skirts were done, she said in a princess-like manner, “Mom, I need a matching wrap.” What made her think I could make a matching wrap just like that? And the night before the party? “Oh, Mom,” she said. Obviously, she thinks I can sew just about anything. Hey, that’s a good thing! At least she knows.
Ella’s dress is pink satin with a sheer snowflake print overskirt. She wore it at the party and the rest of the day, so it must have been comfortable. It’s so nice to be able to sew. If you don’t sew, you should try. It’s not that hard.
Speaking of pink, here are some Meadow Pinks with a few Brown-Eyed Susans here and there. They grow at the lake near our house. Our flowers are absolutely gorgeous this year, because of the rain.
