Spring Has Sprung

I love springtime, rebirth of the world, return of sunshine, everything is green again. And seeing the azaleas in our yard blooming is the big banner announcement that spring is here! Woo hoo!

Before the blooms fade, I have been wanting to get some shots of the girls with our azaleas and while they were in pretty dresses Sunday seemed perfect. However, post church, pre lunch, pre nap could not be a worse time to think they would cooperate with anything I have planned.


































































































I have seen you people with your pictures of sweet faced children, holding hands, smiling right at the camera, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!! And for the record, I don't like you. I think you are drugging your children and I plan to call child welfare. humph.

Third Attempt

I just finished Laurie's third dress. We went with a very easy, make in a day, pillowcase dress pattern. I am really pleased with how it turned out, though as usual, I would do a few things differently next time. I just started her forth dress, using the same pattern as for her birthday dress. It seems I like to make things difficult with all the embroidery I do enjoy, it's definitely not a make in a day style. I can't wait to show her off!




Laurie enjoyed her new shoes until she realized she was supposed to WEAR them on her feet! Who came up with the dumb idea of shoes? She has a bone to pick with them.
