I'm so glad that you had fun, and especially that you got annual passes. Please give me a call sometime when you are coming out again. I live about ten minutes away and would love to meet up with you even just to say hi :O)
My Brave has a new found skill of walking, therefore I made her a "walking dress"... Made of some soft, buttery yellow linen (the fabric is a gift from a friend) and is reversible with some vintage reproduction fabric. Come on, every new walker needs to be able to have free little legs in linen! Of course, a trace of her teeny footprints embroidered, along with a tiny "b", onto a sweet pocket is a perfect way to remember this important milestone in my Brave's life.
Then, True needed something equally as sweet. We were going to a jumper party, so she needed a sweet "jumper dress" to mark the jumpin' good time she would have... The lovely, chocolate brown linen (also a gift) would prove to be lightweight to carry her as high as she possibly could jump. Of course, the dress had to be a jumper of sorts to be sure that everything would stay in place as she tries to defy gravity. Plus, with all the kids that would be there (and possibly wearing jumpers too), I didn't want her to get lost or confused with someone else, so to be sure this didn't happen, her name was lovingly stitched in... So True is her name and jumping was her game... Well, it seems she did some tumbling too!!!
These dresses were quite fun to make. I have really been challenged and inspired by manytalentedwomen to make more natural, creative, and heirloom-ish dresses for my girls. I think it is so much more special to have a mama-made dress... maybe they will pass this on to their girls one day!
Love the title of this post! Great shots.
