Who needs a Fairy Godmother?!

Daisy has just finished a fairy tale unit at school so today they got to dress up as their favorite fairy tale character. Of course I thought of this idea after midnight last night. It isn't quite finished. I have some pretty cream colored lacy trim and such for the ball gown side. The jumper is reversible -- servant Cinderella on one side and ballgown Cinderella on the other! Daisy got to slip into the bathroom halfway through the day and flip her jumper inside out and come back all fancy :) She loves it!!!

Loving this one!!!

 

 

I am loving this new set I made for Butterfly! A tie-dress, appliqueed tee, ruffle pants, headband, and bow socks. I would love to find some little flip flops and rag tie those too... There are so many ways to wear this set! In fact, she got it dirty yesterday but this morning when she got dressed she grabbed it out of the hamper and wouldnt' wear anything else, LOL!
I hope to make the same set for the other two girls too. They're thoroughly jealous.
The other night when I was first working on it, DH was heading to bed. I asked if he wanted to see what I was working on, and he politely said that yes, of course he would. The jumper was most of the way done at that point. He LOVES it too! Being rather extensive, this set would probably be offered for $50 to $60.

More Dresses

Here are a bunch of pictures of Sunshine and Daisy in their bandanna dresses. They LOVE them. Daisy is wearing hers to school today for their Valentine's party.




That is snow, not dandruff :P

My Funny Valentines

I picked up an idea of using bandannas to make a pillowcase style dress. Naturally the next time I went to the store I checked out the $.97 bandannas! I was able to get enough to make two matching dresses for Sunshine and Butterfly and then a coordinating dress for Daisy. I have finished Sunshine's outfit since her preschool Valentine's party is tomorrow. I will take pictures of each of them when they're all done, but here are the pictures of Sunshine's dress, ruffle-bottomed tights, tee shirt, and bow all ready to wear tomorrow!

Bows, Bows, Bows!!!

Far, Far Away in the Cousin Nativity

Christmas Eve the kids all took part in a Nativity play with a batch of their cousins. Sunshine and Butterfly were both assigned parts as angels. I realized at the last minute that I needed to have costumes for them! I had my husband pick up some white pillowcases while he was out and about and I whipped up these cute little white pillowcase dresses. They took me maybe 10 minutes each (though taking a little longer would look better, lol)

Standing by the Christmas tree. The girls chose their own clothes to wear with the dress, and I didn't have time to re-vamp anything. Otherwise there might have been some pretty white shirts instead of bright tees.
