Turning 9....

Yes the youngest turned 9 yesterday and we had fun all day....even on Friday we went to Cupcakeology bright and early in the AM (pictures of those delicious items later after I get them off hub's phone)

G1 stayed up late to help decorate the house while G2 slept and we went a little crazy on streamers and banners but it was fun-we even had streamers from her bed all the way downstairs to her presents.

We had cake for breakfast, lunch and dinner--yea we had other food but we polished off that cake in one day!

Then high on sugar I was asked to make a different outfit for the Santa Fe 400th gig--this is typical I make something and the day before she wants something else and well if I have the time I am willing to accommodate and since I had time this is what she created....it is very unique lol but cute

a triple layer elastic waist skirt with a flower pinned on for good measure--this is pre-ironing and I need to top stitch

Fabrics Used from top to bottom
Alexander Henry Thunder Flower in Red (for the mock corset top)
Patti Young for Michael Miller Andalucia Jester Kiwi
Robert Kaufman On a Whim Owls
Michael Miller Sky Lolli Dot
Jennifer Paganelli for Free Spirit Brown Zebra

Its like the flippin UN of Fabric Designers all crammed into one outfit lol


and this fake corset top with the characters cut that way on purpose--those eyes they follow you everywhere woohoo

and here is the whole thing the way she will wear it so I will try to get some good pics today

and here are the sisters bright and early on Birthday day



That cake was history the minute she blew the candles out

A present from her big sister- a Green Arrow mask all hand made by G1--we are watching all the series of Smallville so we are big into superheroes right now--I think this was her favorite present
