As per the usual, when I go to create something I keep on changing it up as I go. I started out planning on making a simple twirl skirt. Well, then I looked at the box of laces my Grandma Jo gave me, since she wasn’t using them, and decided to throw some of them on there for the hem. Well, then there was too much lace for it to be a full twirly thing, so I cut a section off, added it up top and decided to do some shirring, which made it too long to be a skirt and not long enough to be a dress, so straps were added so it looked like a jumper. Then I added these little trinkets where the straps attached to the top that jingle as she walks. Unfortunately the straps didn’t stay up very well. I should have criss-crossed them in the back.
I wanted some white cuteness for a photo shoot I wanted to do with the kids so I could order a picture as a canvas. I’ll show you the one I chose on Thursday. Oh, the suspense! 😉
She’s just too dang cute for her own good. 🙂
If you have one better than that last one in bw, then I’ll go nuts.
I love that b/w picture. The flowers the lace, her long hair and the look. Lovely shot. 🙂 I like the look of the new outfit. Reminds me of those old west bloomers actually. The pretty ones the pretty ones. Don’t take that the wrong way.
Pole bending is fun. We were all pretty impressed she took first. The last few runs through the poles Cracker bowled them over rather than go through them. Although the previous events lacked a little she made it up for it with this one.
Love the skirt! And I love that you make it up as you go, a sign of a true artist. I have a little gift for you over at my place – see you there!
Oh, on more thing. I just got a birth announcement in the mail from a former coworker. She has a daughter named Anya and her new son’s name is Kai. What are the chances?
Yes, you’re absolutely right…too dang cute for her own good.
So cute. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Although yesterday’s school day went well the rest of the day was so overwhelming. Had I not been too tired to cut the lime last night the Corona in the frig downstairs was calling my name. I’m hoping today will be better.

And that last photo – that one would look amazing on canvas, too! I can’t wait to see the one that made the cut!
Oh I love it!!! I love that your kids have clothes that no one else can go buy off a rack!
I love this bottom black and white image….sigh.
She’s too cute and you’re too talented. Seriously, how long did that take you? Tis awesome Stacy.
she IS too cute for her own good!!! LOL!! Those children would have anything they wanted in my house, I’m a sucker for eyes!!
You are totally amazing. I love how you just make it up as you go along, and it ends up coming out as total perfection. I LOVE THIS DRESS!
She really is too cute…and I canNOT wait to see the prizewinning photo tomorrow!
I love the last picture. She looks so angelic in the white dress and garden and walkway. The outfit is so cute too.
