Busiest Two Weeks All Year!

I've got a small window of free time this morning so I'm posting an update before the chaos resumes.  A week or so ago I finished this dress and slip:



I put it on Lily and while I was grabbing my camera she put my boots on.


After Angie.A described the slips she made when her daughter was little I thought they'd be perfect under Lily's jumpers and pinafores.  You can't see it under this particular dress but I tried the scallop edge for hemming the neck and arm holes and am definitely a fan, it looks sweet and eliminates the need for facings.  I also got a romper finished but the bottom half is a little on the small side, pics to come once I fix that somehow.

Last week was full of meetings, lunch get togethers, dress shopping and a hair appointment for an upcoming ball.  We also planted our first garden!  This week I've got today and tomorrow to prepare for Lily's birthday on Wednesday and a tea party with a friend and her daughter, then the ball on Thursday.  I'm also on the entertainment/decorating committee so Wednesday afternoon I'll be helping to get the venue all fixed up.  Oh yeah, and easter egg hunting and a rugby match Saturday, and finally Easter!  Not a lot of free time but lots of fun :-)  If I'm not back before Sunday, Happy Easter!

Inspired!

I can't get enough of these classic and super sweet baby clothes, posted by angie.a (Jemima Bean). 


Is that not just the sweetest romper? 













I love the look of the pinafore and slip, especially love the back. 

Today I'm heading to my favorite local shop, they've got tons of patterns with this same classic and traditional look.  I'm so done with winter and all its bulky clothes, time for some spring sewing!
