Frilly Apron

My sister and I had a fairy tea party sleep over with my 7 year old niece this last weekend. Poor little thing is surrounded by boys. There are 9 grandsons and only 3 granddaughters on my side of the family. The other 2 girls live in Russia.... so she is seriously surround by boys at every family gathering. She is a really good sport about it all. But my sister and I wanted to do something totally girly for her. So we had a tea party, did her hair, painted our nails, and watched the latest Tinkerbell movie.... super cute by the way. We gave her all sorts of goodies. My sister made her an awesome wand with a butterfly on the top and I made her this:
I LOVE the colors! When I finished I wanted to keep it for myself! I am glad I didn't though. Her face totally lit up when I tied it on her. You can see the table in the background where we sat for our tea party. Isn't that fairy garland my sister made super cute?

Isn't she a cute little girl?! We had a lot of fun at our sleepover and I will miss her when we move away. :(

Here they Are

I am not even going to attempt to describe how I make these. There were a lot of different pieces to each costume and I wouldn't even be able to explain it very well. Here we all are after our ward party tonight.
The boys costumes looked AWESOME! I was very happy with how they turned out.

I think the things I was most proud of were the slip covers for their boots. :)

The little one was running around punching the air all night. What a character!

Obviously parts were made and parts were bought. The underwear I am proud to say was all me!! haha. I guess if we got real desperate for money and couldn't afford any underwear.... I could make them some....haha. :)

Been Busy Lately

I have been really busy with a bunch of different sewing projects. REALLY busy. Here is a little preview of the halloween post to come.....
