Itch to Stitch: Dress 5

My monthly dress for my Audra. I do love a gorgeous little dress, especially a mama made one, on my little girl.  So, that's the plan.
Dress one: Here.
Dress two: Here.
Dress three: Here
Dress four: Here.

Here's dress #5 for the year.

 

 I bought the fabric at a thrift store. I bought the pattern at a thrift store. The zipper is upcycled from a vinyl bag that contained sheets.  Total cost? $1.50.

 It's a bit big on purpose, hoping it will last.

 

 And I love it.

 ("Smells good mama!")

 When she first put it on, she smiled a big smile and said "Beautiful dress mama! I look sharp!" That you do, sweet girl.

 Big brother? Well, where was his mama made, he wondered?
 Someone pouted that I didn't make him something. Usually I don't tolerate that sort of behavior, but I am mighty happy he wants a mama made. I told him if he asked nicely, I just might make something for him next.

 Back to the dress...

 Five dresses down!

 Time to start planning #6!

Red, white and blue.

Happy Memorial Day from our patriotic family. Thanking all who served.

 

 (I beg for a smile and this is what I get)

More weekend.

 

 Thankful to have more weekend to enjoy my favorite things.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lazy day & have fun with play.

The scene?

 With dog.

And chicks (my kids don't even notice they are there).

 A bowl of water.

 A big chunk of bark and a few rocks.

 This is the way memories are made.

 This is what Saturdays are for.

 

Celebrity.

It's pretty cool when one's uncle is a celebrity and we can watch him seal his 2nd place Ironman finish from fancy online streaming.

 (Rolling through the finish in memory of our mom.)

 At the end of the day, he's our celebrity, as they have no other Uncle other than Uncle Matt. And here she tells him she loves him 'so so so much.'  Congrats Matt!  We're proud!
