I went to the zoo yesterday with Clover's Kindergarten class as a chaperone. It was 32°F, which may not sound very cold to most of you, but when you're used to a very mild winter, those temperatures, mixed with the humidity, it chills you to the bone and takes a down comforter, hot-from-the-oil french fries, and a portable heater to warm thaw you.
I noticed that Clover had her clothes set out on the floor the night before, complete with two pairs of pants and two shirts. I was pleased that I had raised such a little planner and followed her lead. Two pairs of pants and I was still cold.
We had a delightful time, despite half the zoo animals were missing from their "habitats" due to the cold temperatures (including the 3 we were supposed to gather information about). The momma ape wrapped a scarf around her neck, put a small cloth on her head and then proceeded to hoard all the blankets that had been scattered around for the ape family to use. She had the right idea.
The other two little girls that were in our group were my new favorite people by the end of the outing, after all their compliments from my hair to shoes as well as their proclamation of love for me. I almost tucked them in my purse and brought them home.
It's not much warmer, but I get to sit under a down comforter while I type, so reminiscing about yesterday seems much sweeter.
I'm almost caught up with my Sew All 26 letters! O! This was a delight to sew up. It's the Olivine pattern from Clever Charlotte. Don't be intimidated by the pleats. The pattern makes it so easy that you'll want to throw in some pleats to everything you sew. I only made 3 changes. I added piping to the bodice pleats (maybe shoulda' saved those for P week ;) and shortened the length on the dress and the sleeves.
I don't do much with licensed characters, but who doesn't love Olivia the Pig? And she's just so much like Clover, clever, sharp, and not to mention cute, but in the ways that get her into trouble all the time.
Serendipity was on my side when I wanted to add my logo and Olivia's crayon happened to be in the perfect spot.
And I have some good news! I am giving away a Clever Charlotte pattern for 2 readers! They've got such fun, unique designs that will add pizazz to your sewing. To enter:

Let me tell you with wind chills in the -20 here our moments this week have all been inside! But it has been some of the best cuddling under quilts! I knew it was cold when our dog (who is a 75 lb. Snow dog) decided she was going to sleep in our bed!
ReplyDeletehmm.... i haven't really had any super funny moments this week... I forgot my age though and played hockey with kids and my co-op and am not having some uncomfortable walking and stairclimbing... it will be funny when it doesn't hurt!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful girl, dress, and house (but how on earth do you keep those white floors clean???). My funniest moment this week was while showing my 3 year old the tutu I was knitting for her out of the over-the-top red metallic ruffle yarn she had picked out. Her eyes lit up and her mouth gaped in awe for a moment. Then she looked at the knitting needles and said, "but Mom, I think those will be too pokey on my bottom."
ReplyDeleteLove your dress! And the piping is a great addition. I was getting elena dressed this morning and I handed her a vest and asked if she wanted to wear it. She took it and said no and then threw it down and yelled "NEVER". Way too dramatic for a 2 yr old that one is! Shouldn't have laughed but couldn't help it.
ReplyDeleteHi katie
ReplyDeleteMy best moment this week was during a bush walk with my seven year old son Cullen. It was around 10am and the sunlight was peeking through the trees onto the path. He turns and says to me: mum, check out the sun puddles. Loved it! Best description ever.

Sunday, at my husband's farewell party for work, it was bitter sweet to see our girls (ages 3 and 4) playing with all the wonderful people that we will soon be missing.
ReplyDeleteGreat dress. This week we found out we are having another girl. We are so excited.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely pattern that you interpreted wonderfully. My favorite moment this week was watching my kids begin to understand what MLK Day means and to show interest in the history of the civil rights movement.
ReplyDeleteMy 3-year old came home with a "Certificate of Recognition" from school yesterday because she finally took a nap without disturbing the other kids (we've been working hard on this for some time). I say, "Oooh, pretty! What does it say?" and she pointed to it and said "It says 'I love my family. And puppies."

ReplyDeleteGreat grandma asked our 5 almost 6 year old what he wants for his birthday and he said peanut brittle & red hotpads! Then our just turned 4 year old pipes up & says he wants pumpkin pie!
ReplyDeleteI took my daughter to a soft play centre for the first time this week. She was scared and I ended up having to do all the climbing with her. I felt really stupid, but it was a good work out for me!
ReplyDeleteI love that pattern and hope they have it in girls size 12. My best moment this week was watching my 13 year old cut all of hair off to donate to a charity that makes wigs for cancer sufferers. It is the second time she has done it.
ReplyDeleteA new to me pattern company! Best part of week - Been moving and got my built in bookcase done enough to move about half of my huge book collection over. Worst part of week - lugging all those books! cathrynlane@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteLovely dress! My funniest moment was seeing my two month baby boy laugh and speak in his language. Marn_br@yahoo.es
ReplyDeleteMy husband and son tried to play a trick on me by telling me at the library astronomy event my son raised his hand and said "where is uranus"....they were hysterical making me get all upset and worked up thinking he said this. kingsugarplums@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dress! My loveliest moment this week was watching my big boy teach his best friends to play MIlle Bornes-- he was so serious and such a good teacher, and then they all got into it so much they were yelling "Coup Ferre!" and giggling like crazy people. kaseymgm (at) gmail (dot) com
ReplyDeleteBest part of this week was fun Thursday snow followed by a forecast for 60deg tomorrow, horray for all types of weather in just a few days span.
ReplyDeleteI was walking down the cleared path through the snow while carrying my one year old, and looked back to make sure the 4 year old was following. She was. But not on the cleared path. Sometimes we have to follow our own path, even if it is through 8 inches of fresh snow!
ReplyDeletedeannenorton at gmail dot com
lovely dress! I just picked my daughters up from school. I asked my little one how her day was and she said "Great! We got to watch a five hour movie because Madame was tired!" hehehe!
ReplyDeleteIt's been too cold for them to play outside all week (colder than -25 Celsius) so I'm sure all of the teachers were looking forward to the weekend
Hmmm, my best moment was picking up a fresh stack of library books (for me) on our way to celebrate the children's 100th day of school at a local cupcake bakery.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I would love to make that dress! Nothing really funny this week, but it's been quite cold here in the midwest (-12 F today when we woke up) and it was a joy to just snuggle up in the big easy chair with both my fleece pajama-clad girls and watch a movie. I do love a good simple morning!
ReplyDeleteBest moment, snuggling with my little one just as he nods off at night.
ReplyDeleteWe just moved to a new house, and we were delighted to see a fox digging in the snow in the backyard. My almost 2 year old climbed onto the windowsill, looked at the fox, then started singing "Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!" ...I think we need to take a break fromYouTube, haha!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous dress. My girl dressed up as Olivia at school not too long ago (for a Come Dressed Up As Your Favourite Book Character day). This week, the best moment was going snowshoeing with the kids in all the snow.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful Clover and a beautiful dress! My best moment this week was seeing my 20-month-old run up to my 3-year-old when she got home from school and give her a big bear hug and shout "Eeeeee!" (Her name is Eden.) I love random acts of unprompted love giving. :)
ReplyDeleteOur funniest moment this week was when our youngest learned how to burst into the shower. Water everywhere but man is she cute.
ReplyDeleteAdorable dress! My funniest moment this week? When I picked up my 6.5-month-old from daycare on Wednesday, she was having some tummy time and had her back to me. When I knelt down next to her and said, "Hi, Sweet Pea!" She craned around to see me and promptly gave me a big ole' Bronx cheer. Pffffftttttt! Well, nice to see you too, Baby Girl. LOL :)
ReplyDeleteI just love that dress! Gorgeous job, Katy, as always! It was -40 degrees with the windchill here yesterday, so the kids had the day off. During that time my 6 yo sewed up a bag for a friend's birthday, and my 4yo mastered the fine art of shoe tying. Not necessarily funny moments, but definitely proud ones.
ReplyDeleteKaty! that dress...looks HARD. But so so so gorgeous - would LOVE to try one of those patterns. Funniest moment: when i overheard my four year old sneaking more cherrios with my two year for a snack and saying "NO, come over here, that way she can't see you....."
ReplyDeletei'm reneejansen at gmail
My best moments this week were watching my daughter (4y) in her first ballet class and my son (6y) in his first jiu jitsu class. I have the Olivine dress pattern and am half way through tracing the pattern...your blog post has just spurred me to get the fabric cut and start sewing it!
ReplyDeleteAs a labor & delivery nurse my best moment was being able to be a L&D nurse to a woman-now-friend for the fourth time (all four kids' births). very rare and very special :)
ReplyDeleteLove the dress! The best part of my week was getting the glucose tolerance test over with and reading divergent and insurgent. (Allegiant, not so much)
ReplyDeleteOne of the funniest moments this week was when my 20 month old triplets tried to help us finish the renovations of our kitchen. We are down to the finishing touches such as baseboards and trim. Our son tried walking in with a trim piece but it was wider than the door and bounced him back on his rear end. After 2 attempts he finally turned it sideways and ran through the door so he wouldn't get stuck again. :)
ReplyDeleteMy funniest moment was the crazy look my dog gave me the other day. She was laying with her head on my six-month pregnant belly when the baby kicked. She looked so upset, but I guess I'd be upset too if I was awoken from a deep slumber by a swift kick to the chin!
ReplyDeleteFunniest best moment, right now, all 6 kids, 2 friends and a cousin happily playing in the sunshine. Good stuff.
ReplyDeleteMy funniest moment this week was honestly probably watching Brooklyn Nine Nine with my hubs late at night, but I also had a lot of fun and laughter being snowed in with my children all week! Thanks! ejnorris at yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteThe funniest heart warming thing this week was when my 5 year old looked at me and said "I suppose it's hard being a mom to 4 kids, but you do a good job." The funniest embarrassing thing this week was when I realized after my work out that my pants were on backwards...oops.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!! My funniest moments always involve my 2-year-old. We're having another baby, and he came with us to the ultrasound. After we got home, he asked, "Mama, what's in your tummy?" I asked what he thought and he replied, "Um - a salad!" Ha, to have that imagination!
ReplyDeletePretty much everything my girls say is my favorite right now. "Mom, I think it's time you cut Bennie's nails. They're like knives!"
ReplyDeleteI got a snow day due to the cold! So I stayed inside and knit all day.
ReplyDeletethenailventuress@gmail.com
Best moment this week was getting a girl day with my bestie :) We went to JoAnn and Hobby Lobby, of course!
ReplyDeleteWhen I went to kiss my 4 year old son he told me he wasn't available right now... that he is only available for lovin' and kissin' in the middle of the night. mchamm (at) comcast (dot) net
ReplyDeleteOh Clover... I love that girl.
ReplyDeleteBest moment is coming up in a couple of hours. My parents will be here - all the way from Holland! They took an impromptu trip because my 3yo told them she misses them and they should come over :)
ReplyDeleteToo many great moments this week with my two little girls.
ReplyDeleteElizabethlyde at gmail dot com
Tonight my four year old asked for a can of corn for dinner. It wars quite cute and put a smile on my face!
ReplyDeleteMy youngest (4 years old) asked me today where the tunnel was that he used to come out of my belly and could he see it. Uhhhh....no!! meganannie18 (at) gmail.com
ReplyDeleteMy oldest learned to play the Pig Ankle Rag on her fiddle and I got to accompany her on the piano. I love that.
ReplyDeletePS- where is the link up this week? I love that too:)
~Michelle
The dress is just adorable, and id love to get my hands on that pattern! One of my fav moments of the week? When my 5 year old challenged daddy to an "UNstaring contest"...."1, 2, 3 GO! Close your eyes daddy!"
ReplyDeleteGreat dress! What a good question for a Friday! One of my best moments this week was watching my 4 year old talk to my 4 month old. He was asking her what she'll be like when she's bigger and what she'll say when she can talk. I can and can't wait for that because its fun to see who they become but babyhood is so short!
ReplyDeleteThe dress is so cute. Love the piping! Best moment this week was watching my 19 mo old little girl belly laugh so hard she could barely stand up.
ReplyDeleteRescuing 2 kittens from the extreme cold was the best moment from my week. My nephew found 2 kittens that someone had dumped beside the road and he brought them home. One of them stayed on the heating pad for 2 days before venturing away from it. They are both so sweet and calm with the kids. I'm sure they know they are in a loving home now.
ReplyDeleteMy best moment this week was just taking care of my new baby. He's a bit of a screamer, so we're taking one day at a time. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletecallinswife@gmail.com
the best moment this week was watching my one year old stand up on her own for the first time. the utter joy on her face and then when she clapped to congratulate herself and promptly plopped back down on her bottom.
ReplyDeleteMy best moment this week was pushing myself and running seven miles. Thanks for sharing this beautiful dress; it makes me want to sew one up for all the little ladies in our house.
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely dress!! It fits and suits your Clover beautifully. I had to smile when I saw where you put your logo. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteMy best moments were when my little three year old friend was modeling her Alice dress for me for our photoshoot. (PR&P: Movies). She was so delighted that I was smiling the whole time! You can see her here: http://butterfliesandfaeries.blogspot.com/2014/01/lets-go-to-movies-project-run-play.html
we went to sky Zone and had a great time jumping on dozens of trampolines! And the bonus is that no one got hurt :-)
ReplyDeleteI have had so many good moments this week. But possibly the best was when my 2-year-old daughter, wearing the little pink tutu I made for her for Christmas, asked me to put on a tutu, too. The surprise and utter delight in her eyes was indescribable as I led her to the closet upstairs in my craft room and pulled out a tutu of my own! (I'd made it for a fun race I ran in the fall, then stashed it away and forgot about it until that moment.) She kept exclaiming "Tutus geyah! Tutus geyah! (tutus together!)" as I put it on, and then we "Dance tutus geyah" all around the living room. I really should do more stuff like this with her :)

My 3-year old giving me a detailed explanation about the dental differences between herbivorous and carnivorous animals...
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty dress, I just love how the crayon worked out for the "No Big Dill", perfect placement!
ReplyDeleteThe funniest moment this week was when my daughter told me that she needed to eat up all the candy "cause my kids will when they get home". (Her "kids" are her older brothers) and I just love her reason why she should every last bit.
Best moment was going bowling for my grandson's 4th birthday. Such a wonderful age!!

I finally finished some sewing project I've been working on. One of my daughters (age 6) got a complete outfit after weeks of watching it sit on my sewing table. She was *thrilled* and asked to put it on right away (even though it looked more like pajamas than a coordinating outfit...) When I showed my 3 year old son a t-shirt I made for him with monsters all over it (which I am quite pleased with) and asked if he liked it, he cocked his head considering for a moment, "Hmmm, no" and toddled off. :P
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway! marie.cope@gmail.com
At the library after reading 365 Penguins, the librarian asked what the sequel of the book would be called since a polar bear arrived at the house. My 3 year old said "Eaten".
ReplyDeleteDarling pattern! Well done on Olive's dress. I'm a first time commenter, recent new reader, enjoying your sewing adventures and artistic style, and sewing for my six kids when I can too. Best moment? Not catching the stomach bug my kids brought home!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun dress & a gorgeous pattern! & I empathize with "cold" temperatures that don't necessarily sound cold to the rest of the country. In Nor Cal, we've had a super mild winter, but nights require extra blankets & a space heater!
ReplyDeleteMy best moment this week has been snuggling with all of my children, yes even my 11 year old son! This super cold weather has been good for something after all.
ReplyDeletewheeler.le(at)gmail.com
Love the "overlapping O" dress - and such a beautiful model!!! Glad you had fun at the zoo in the freezing weather! Last time I went to the zoo, it was over 100 degrees and all the animals wouldn't come out because it was so hot!!! Would love to win the pattern - I have three granddaughters who would look awesome in the "O" dress!
ReplyDeleteThis week we purchased a farm we've been eyeing, so that was probably our best moment this week. I'd have fun making my girl this dress and enjoy seeing your take on it. <3
ReplyDeleteMae
I finished my quilt top and took it to our Raincross Quilt Guild meeting. The challenge was to make a heart-themed quilt. I am very insecure about color and I was so happy that several women commented about how great the colors looked! It felt good to receive compliments!
ReplyDeleteOooh, that looks like a fun pattern. My kids had gotten suckers from the bank drive-thru teller & were asking "Mama! What color is MY tongue? Is it red/purple/pink" But, not my 3yo, he said, "Mama! Do I have Supermans and robots on MY tongue?" Yes honey, yes you do.
ReplyDeleteThis dress is wonderful! I adore Olivia the pig, even though I don't normally sew with licensed characters, either.
ReplyDeleteMy two year old son ran into my sewing room, yelled "look at me!", while doing a dance with the toilet bowl plunger suctioned to his head. Proud parenting moment.
ReplyDeleteFunniest moment this week was my recent swimming hater turned swimming lover saying "you know, if you just keep kicking you float" at least fifteen times!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway. Leeanne
Funniest moment for me this week was hearing my 12 year old niece wax poetic about her new "boyfriend" (who, at this age, is simply the boy she sits next to on the bus ride home". The truly funny part wasn't until I looked at her (very policed by momma and her aunt) facebook page where he had gone from "dreamy" to, well, we have broken up, but there are other fish in the sea! All this in the space of 4 days. The boys best look out when they see her coming. She is a girl after my own heart, not tolerating the least bit of anything she deems not good enough for her when it comes to treatment from a gentleman! Love my niece to bits! shellyrhds@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteMy family and I (really my husband and I--the kids are always on their own time) were hustling to get out the door to an appointment. I scooped two plates off the table still fairly heavily laded with syrup and apple sauce (waffles taste great with both my 5 year old says) and held them high over all heads trying to make it to the trash with them before we walked out the door. My husband was helping get shoes on someone and unbeknownst to me had completed that task and so stood up right under my precariously balanced plates tipping them smartly down his back--applesauce and maple syrup making a sticky mess down his shirt. It wasn't truly funny at the time, but I've been laughing about it since. It takes grace I think. extraordinary grace and coordination to pull off something as amazing as that.
ReplyDeleteI love that dress! My fingers are crossed.
Katy how lovely that you picked up some in person fans this week, I love how well you raise your own girls and boy to think of others, love God and be good people. I love my munchkins and had many funny moments this week as it's the last week of the summer holidays here and I kept losing track of which day it is. I love the holidays! tdherriot at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteMy two daughters are in kindergarden, learning About princesses, knights and castles. They came home, went straight to their clothes to play dress up and picked out Some pink princess dress and crown. They were having so much fun! Then my little boy, 20months Old, came to me with in his hand... À pink princess dress and silver crown with pink feathers. " me Too! Me Too!" I enjoyed to see my three little princesses twirling around :)

My girls and I were having dinner and the eldest was telling me about her days in school. She then proceeds to tell me that when one of her classmates farts when they are sitting on the carpet, the kid sitting next them smells their bottom and confirms that it was them, to which the whole class then smiles in recognition. Firstly I could not stop laughing, just the mental image alone was enough and it is such a normal thing for a kid to do without being judged.
ReplyDeleteI almost used diaper ointment as toothpaste....my husband almost made the same mistake. I think it's time to move it to a new location.
ReplyDeleteWhen my 2-year-old shouted, "HEYYYY KICKIN! I YUH YOUUUU!!!" Translation: "Hey Chicken! I love you!" We have 5 free-range chickens and my daughter thinks they are the best. She would look oh-so-super-cute in this dress!
ReplyDeletedenise.karnes@gmail.com
My best moment this week was having my husband "babysit" the kids through Skype ;) while they were asleep and he was in Argentina on business trip and I had to run to the store.
ReplyDeleteMy best moment was my whole week! My two little girls and I spent the week in Colorado with my parents!
ReplyDeleteesampson78 at gmail dot com
My best this week… when my husband came home from a trip and when I discovered I had three buttons for a dress I'm attempting!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter announced yesterday that she wants a baby brother named Pine Bread and Wine.
ReplyDeleteBest moment… my baby learned to say "I yuv you, Mommy!"
ReplyDeleteMy best moment this week was while at work (I work with little kids), one of the kids kept calling my name. He's never said it before, so I didn't realize he was calling me for about 10 minutes (I was in another room). It was soooo cute when I realized he was calling me. You say you wanted to take those little girls home, well that's exactly how I felt with the little boy. It's cheesy, but if I were in a sitcom I would have teared up and said, "I'm special". Happy tears, of course. bernardi (dot) fam at gmail Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteYeah a give away. You're to generous!
ReplyDeleteMy best and funiest moment is this. I said to my son that he's getting fat (a Joke of course he's the most skinny almost 4 jear old you'll ever meet) and he repyed 'no mommy, i have a baby in my belly and the baby is going to be soon. And the baby is a boy, my brother'. Hihi! So cute!
One of the funniest moments in our house this week was when my son, age 6, who loves maps, bit his slice of pizza into the shape of Nevada! Had us all laughing! Love this pattern - adorable!
ReplyDeleteLove the dress. I've admired this pattern for awhile. My best moment was the birth of my baby this past Friday morning! He's our sixth and our third son. And once again I can attest that love multiplies. :-)
ReplyDeleteBest moment this week was meeting a professional tea taster with my 8 yr. old son who is doing a project on tea for school. We sampled different gourmet teas which was great because it was minus 20 that day. (so yes your 32 seems down right balmy to me.) The tea connoisseur was amazing: he was funny, passionate, informative and generous with his time. The funniest moment was when my son placed his chocolate directly in his tea cup, having misunderstood the instructions for tasting. I think he was on to something though. Love your blog!
ReplyDeletesinging a song to my daughter as she is going to sleep, i hear my other child from the other room call out "boooor-ing!!"
ReplyDeleteI love the dress--I wish it would look good on me!
ReplyDeleteJust how do you do your logos?
I had to go pee really bad during church but didn't want to get up and disturb everyone. Finally my husband talks me into going. A few minutes after I get back my 7 yr old says " you're a lot calmer since you went to the bathroom". I guess I was a bigger distraction trying to hold it in :) Great patter and super cute dress. We love Olivia books here too and they also remind me of my 7 yr old, Isabella!
ReplyDeleteHollyluzzi@gmail.com
I live with a two year old with quicker wit than I have... so it's hard to pick a moment! I did love when at the pet store (Great free entertainment) she looked at me with big worried eyes and said, "Fish... all... WET!" Bath time isn't our favorite around here.
ReplyDeleteBest moment of the week? This week was rather rough, but every time my 17 month old leans in to get a kiss is the best moment of my life.
ReplyDeleteI love my sons... today Max asked me if he would ever grow wings ;o) Love him... his questions was spurred by reading a book about a caterpillar turning into a butterfly ;o) EMily@nap-timecreations.com
ReplyDeleteI went to see Frozen for the 2nd time with a friend and had the best time just watching her enjoy the show. (and now I'm singing the songs in my head constantly!!)
ReplyDeleteI watched my almost two year old fall asleep at the dinner table- so funny and cute. I love being a mom. Your dress is adorable!
ReplyDeleteAm I too late? cutting it fine I know. It was actually my birthday last Friday, so since then my kids have taken to singing Happy Birthday every time we sit at the table. I think it is joie de vivre rather than a bid for cake, but... :-)
ReplyDeleteMy laugh out loud funniest moment this week was watching an automobile commercial that had a family of golden retrievers driving a car and barking at a mail truck.
ReplyDeleteThe funniest thing is my daughter was coming in to tell me to turn on the Humidifier and called it a "umenifiu". Made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteSorry it posts my husbands name.

the best moment of my week was waking up this morning to the sound of rain - it's been very hot in Melbourne at the moment so this was very welcome and wonderful. it would have been more wonderful if I could have stayed in bed and enjoyed it, but alas, I had to get up and go to work! this pattern is gorgeous, what a treat it would be to win!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vq48lK9xdg&feature=share
ReplyDeleteLove the dress! Olivia rocks!!!
ReplyDeleteMy funniest moment was today, sewng a dress shirt and went to iron a seam and my iron was on but not heating up. Why is this funny you ask because when I told my husband I'd killed another iron (lost track how many we've gone thru) he told me I should work in the factory as a tester of new irons. I'd give them a real run for their money. I couldn't stop laughing. What is it with irons???? O well. Thanks for the giveaway!
Best moment(s) this week was watching my four "big kids" (bigger than the 5-month-old) bowl with their aunt, uncle, grandparents, and parents. Oh, the poses kids can strike while watching/waiting for their ball to get to the end of the bowling lane! LOL
ReplyDeleteThis dress is gorgeous and I am wondering how hard it would be for a sewist of skills. I am good with directions if they are detailed... My brother is getting married next month, and this dress looks perfect for my 7 year old daughter. Is it very complicated? I definitely do not have skills at your level...
ReplyDelete
