A little late, but that seems to be the norm for me at the moment. I feel behind, but I’m choosing to relax and just do one thing at a time. I celebrated the New Year with my little one and parents. Not at midnight, mind you, but the next day. Here is my lovely little one in her dress just right for the occasion.
It’s made from a vintage women’s shirt I found while thrifting. I had it for a while and knew this was the perfect opportunity to put it to use.
We found some noisemakers and prettied them up for our photoshoot.
The sun shined and pretty sparklies came out to join us as we celebrated. How kind of them, don’t you think?
This past year is over and now there is a fresh start. Thank you for your kindness of the past year and I look forward to sharing 2010 with you as well. Things might be slow here for a little bit, but we’ll be back on track for sure by the end of January. Happy New Years!
(this one happened because it looks like a party hat as well 😉

Well, all I did was use a sundress pattern to made the body. Then I created my own poofy sleeve pattern and then ruffled a long rectangular strip of fabric. We’ll see what I can do in the future 🙂

January 7, 2010 at 1:47 pmI’ve never commented on your blog, but it was impossible to resist this time. Your DD is adorable and the 3rd picture down has to be one of the best pics of any child. Ever!
(BTW, how do you get her to leave stuff in her hair? My 20 month old hasn’t left so much as a clip in her hair since she turned one!)
