Doggies like veggies....right?

Twin and I headed to the fabric store a few weeks ago (when she was visiting), Twin wanted help making a skirt for Little A. We ended up running out of time while she was here. I told her I would put it together for her and put it in the mail before the planned wedding. They wanted to take a big family photo at the wedding with everyone wearing white, black and pink. Super cute idea. 

We used fat quarters for all the different fabric choices on the outside of the skirt and a thick elastic band for the waist.

 

Holy ruffles! Idea for the skirt was taken from Disney... from Ruffles and Stuff. I heart her blog and all the idea's she throws out there.

She provides much inspiration for me!

 

Elliott had a good time feeding Sammie while I finished up the skirt. So thoughtful! Look at all those veggies!!

 

Since I don't have a girl the same size as Little A and clothes are much funner to look at on someone.... Elliott gets to be the model! ha! Little A is about 2 years older than Elliott but she is quite petite. Here's what it looks like on the little man.... it's a bit long on him as Little A is quite a bit taller.

The skirt was a big hit (whew! yes!) with Little A. Here is the family photo that was taken of everyone wearing white, black and pink. 

(Took it from Twin's facebook... hopefully they don't mind)

Craftiness x 3!

Friend gave birth to an adorable baby girl. So many idea's popped into my head of what I could make for the new babe and her two other girls.

When we had the baby shower for Elliott, people brought gifts for Izzie too! She thought it was the neatest thing and made her feel so included. The look of surprise/joy on her face when she got a gift was priceless and it has stuck with me. Whenever friends have a new babe and there is a new big sister or big brother I always bring a little something something for them.

The oldest sister likes to carry things around. I don't think I've seen her without a purse or bag or some kind holding her treasures. I thought I would make her a cute little purse that is reversible! 

Next we have the other big sister to the little babe but little sister to big sister. (ha! Didja catch that?) She is two...two year olds like to draw! Decided to make her own crayon and notebook holder to take wherever she goes.

One of my favorite gifts from Izzabella's birth was a receiving blanket Twin made for me. It was flannel (warm) but light weight and not huge and bulky. It bigger than other blankets, so I could wrap Ms. Izzie-bizzie up just right. I heart it and I still have it. I decided to do the same basic idea for the new babe's present. New babe's name starts with a "J" so I put a "J" on each side in the opposites sides fabric.

Finished the edges with some cute pink ric-rac.
