Spring Break!

So I haven't been around this week. My husband was on Spring break from school and, as he's not home much, we chose to spend the time together as a family... which also meant neglecting my blog for a few days.

But while I might not have been blogging, I certainly was working my fingers to the bone. Between the cooking and cleaning, I managed to squeeze in some time to make my daughter a couple of little dresses. One for Easter Sunday and another little summer sundress.

She is so adorable! I love having a little girl to make all these little dresses and things for.

Here's the fabric I used for the dress...

I love all the blue, purple and green butterflies and so does she! She picked the fabric herself at the store (from a selection I chose - I was hoping she'd choose this one! LOL).

This is the Easter dress I made her. She looks so cute! But my husband had the idea to add a little more to it... a little apron and a bonnet. Well, I had gotten a pretty blue fabric to use in the dress, but the dress turned out so pretty without it, I used that blue to make the apron and bonnet.

She's such a cutie!

Then I had some other fabrics that I mixed together to make her a little sundress for the summer. When my husband saw the combination, at first he hated it. He said that he didn't like the mix of patterns, but once it was finished... he loves it! And so does she. After I took this picture, I couldn't get her out of the dress! LOL

Here's a better view of the fabric...

I love the pink and green combination and the little frogs. My daughter calls it her "Froggie" dress.

So that's what I've been up to this past week. Now I'm back to my sewing machine to make a few more of those cute little bonnets... maybe somebody, somewhere will like to buy them? I can hope!
