new outfit

We have had this skirt forever.......it has been a really hard skirt to find a top for.....you know the kind........you get a skirt and look at it for 7 years and wish you had a top to go with it type skirt.........


so I made one for it..........I have found that I can do this particular pattern.........

I used to be afraid to do elastic around the neck.....but it isn't so bad.

Now I can do it with my eyes closed, but I doubt I ever need to.......so I won't.

Hi, I found you on another blog, and thought I'd 'hop' over!
I like the top..it reminds me of the one I made in home-ec in school...the one and only year I took home-ec...I'm mechanically challenged, and didn't get along well with the sewing machine!

I love the whole outfit. Good job on the top. And I know what you mean about having a skirt that you can't find a good top for--it's happened to me before too. (o:

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used.  So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books.  It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so  I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite.  You were our first baby and we were so excited for you.  Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me.  You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on.  You were such a fun little girl to read to.  You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other.  *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*.    You have always been interested in the *family tree*, dates, p
