70's party

Went to the library the other day and I found tons of books I wanted to check out.  I had to narrow the list because when I tried to put them all in the stroller basket it collapsed!  

My "narrowed" books.  I also got a few books for my husband.  He's planning to build some outdoor furniture this summer.

This is an awesome book!  There are tons of recipes that are not as difficult or full of exotic ingredients as I expected.

 That night we went to a birthday party for one of my friends.  It was 70's themed.  We went all out with Farrah Fawcett hair and his creepy mustache.

You can't see our short shorts and knee socks in this picture.

My friend's birthday gift was magnets!

This was our Christmas card.

When we got home there was a cat in our yard.  I swear it was right there.  A family hung up posters for an orange tabby with a white bib, but the only light I had was the camera and when I tried to snap a picture he darted.  I ran all over the block looking for him, and never saw him again.

Easter Dress!

I decided to use some of the fabric I have been hoarding to make Little C an Easter dress.  I found this great tutorial.
I drew my own pattern for the bodice and added a sash.  I wasn't sure how big she would be by next month so I hope the sash will make up for anything I couldn't predict.  I think it turned out great.

Little C loved the skirt.

She even loved falling over.

My next project is a skirt for my little sister.  I will post pictures as I work on it.  

This is the fabric she picked out.  The solid will be for the underskirt and pockets.  I might have enough left over to make her a little wallet too.  I'm using this tutorial for the skirt.

I already made one for myself so I know it will turn out.

Oh and here are a couple cute headbands I made for Little C's Easter basket.  Still a little too young for candy so we will just make her cute things to wear.  Never too young to be fashionable.
