New duds





Birdie got new duds!  I found this fabric awhile ago and it was supposed to be something else.  I love the 2nd photo.  She's not actually wearing it, she's laying on my dining room table with the outfit ON TOP of her.  
We just decided to make it into a cute top - gathered, ruffle around the bodice.  Just 2 simple buttons on the back.   No pattern, just put together.  If anyone wants the pattern, holler, I can easily come up with one. 
The jeans were ones that still fit, but were too short.  I added the ruffle edge and she duded up the legs. The big flowers are actually cut from the bodice ruffle fabric - so cute!  She made the yo yo's for the other leg.  
She looks like she should be on Laugh In.  She's been singing "Mambo Italiano" from a commercial all weekend, so it's like her lounge singer outfit!  hilarious!

Awesome Easter



Easter was terrific this year.  The Bunny, who usually leaves giant footprints for me to clean up, got smart this year. (yay me)  He made a trail of candy to the hiding spot for the basket filled with yummy goodness.  He even got treats for all the pets.  My fav was the Swedish fish for Goldie the Gold fish.  Smart Bunny.
Birdie wore  a dress and coat I made for her with Lila Tueller fabrics.  They were both pink themed but didn't really match.  But when you add the too cute little girl, pink gloves, pink tights and pink patent shoes, it's all good!  
Our church service was fantastic - great message, great music, lots of friends, gorgeous weather.
Visits to family finished the day.  Now, to get rid of the candy, do I eat it until it's gone or toss it in the trash?  either way it has to go, eating seems like a great option right now!
