Lily's new princess dress

By -
Anyone who knows Lily, knows that she LOVES LOVES LOVES princesses. Did I mention how much she loves them? Anyway, we were at Hobby Lobby and she found this adorable purple princess fabric, and immediately loved it and wanted it!...I wasn't sure if I'd actually be able to make anything out of it, because I really am not the best sewer (is that actually a word?) in the world. But I found some cute dresses on-line (they're called pillow case dresses), and I thought I might be able to do it... It was so easy, and once we added the princess ribbon as the belt it was complete! Lily was more than happy to model the dress, so here it is!!

I thought you said you couldn't sew! It looks adorable. I can't wait to see it in person some time.

You are such a great mommy! The dress looks great and Lily seems to love it. Has she worn it everyday since you made it?

It's been a while since I've written...sorry for the blog slacking (is that the technical term??)  I've been wanting to write for a while, but I've had severe case of blog-writers-block!  I'm just going to try and push through it though, thanks to all my supporters out there who have encouraged me (you know who you are!! :) ) Lily is so excited to wear all her new clothes she got from Auntie Heidi...Heidi picked up some amazing deals at the Children's Place outlet in WI Dells and Lily got about 5 new dresses and she changes outfits about 5 times a day so she can wear everything!  This is a picture of her modeling one of her dresses and showing off her artwork. You can see she really loves the dress... Speaking of artwork, while Lily was painting she said "I am an artist just like Auntie Chrissy!"  Watchout Chrissy, there might be some competition coming! :) Anyway, I will try and do better with updating...I promise!  Check back often!!

Another dress for Lily

I had a stack of pillow cases given to me today, so I couldn't resist trying to make Lily another dress...Lily can't have anything without fairies or princesses so this dress has fairy ribbon sewn at the bottom and tied around the waist (and yes, we are in Wisconsin where it is snowing out today, but Lily somehow is never cold!). To anyone out there who might be under the wrong impression that I am a good sewer, I will tell you again I am not... This will prove it... While I was sewing today on the sewing machine I actually sewed the needle right through my entire tip of my pointer finger!! ouch!!! Would a real sewer do something like that?? :) Luckily Lily was right there to get me a princess band-aid!
