The first official cake taste.....
....And she loves it!!!
....She really loves it!! LOL
Miss Mikaela has been asking me to sew her a skirt recently and I thought I'd turn my first attempt at skirt making to one designed to be worn for less than a month LOL...just in case it all went terribly wrong. AS it worked out, a few things went awry, but in the end it worked out OK. It is a bit shorter than intended due to some ruffle issues, but some leggings manage to fix that. She has some white ones that will work for Christmas. Over all it is a tutorial I will try again. I had to adapt it to fit Miss M as it was designed for a 4-5 year old, but she is pretty tiny herself. Note the tattoo from Kid's Church today :) ....It says 'Love Wins'.
Another tutorial I am going to attempt to try tonight is this one for some Christmas gifts...they are terribly cute and look easy enough for the novice sewer. Yesterday I attended an all day crop with Shannon, Amanda and Lisa who I met through the Little Scrapbook shop. We had such a good time, even if I did spend a whole lot of time staring at my craft mat or just looking busy :) I did a couple of layouts that just need journaling or a touch or 2 and also made some tins for the many teachers in our lives. I admire and appreciate these people who impart so much into my kid's lives and dedicate their lives to educating and shaping young people. What a gift...(and responsibility) they have! We have had awesome teachers this year, especially the suppport teachers for Jarred as he enters into Highschool next year. I'll post some pics of the tins tomorrow when they are all done and filled up :)
love the skirt...
