Cinderelly, Cinderelly

A few of you have asked what Em's reaction was this morning upon finding Lion in her bed. Well, "this morning" occurred at 1:30 and she was happy, albeit a bit confused. She thought that she had found him in her sheets. This morning (aka when the sun came up) she understood and asked where he had been hiding.

I know, so annoying to click, but here's a video of Em waiting for Lion to finish with his bath. I want to say "cute video" but I think every video of my kids is cute so I left that out.

So I finished the Cinderella sundress. The side puffs (as we call them in our house) are a tad heavy and weigh down the fullness a bit. They are also folded under - if they had been made out of chiffon like they were supposed to be, I think they would have been fine but I wasn't going to use chiffon for a sundress. Whatever, it's all good.

I tend to become a little obsessed with every creation and want to love it forever and ever. This dress isn't my favorite but I have to keep in mind that Allie likes it and that she may drop chocolate ice cream all over the front of it.

For those of you who are curious about our Disney plans, I will post a Disney "pre-trip report" soon. Stay tuned...

Such a gorgeous dress!! You are so talented to be able to pull off the "side puffs". I wish I knew how to sew but sadly I barely know how to thread the machine.

Wow, that dress is so beautiful! I'd have LOVED to have worn that when I was little! You're so talented. Your girls are so lucky to get all this beautiful home-made stuff, especially because it makes it so much more special. And very glad to know that Em got Little Lion back safe and sound. He obviously means a lot to her, as I can plainly see in that video - it's so cute how she let him have a wash! Hope he doesn't wander off again anytime soon. :-D

I just recently came across your blog and have been reading it from the beginning right up to this post. I feel like I know each of the girls, even though I am so far away in New Zealand. Your girls are just so gorgeous, what a blessing! I love your blog and will continue to read it, thanks :)
