new project

It's been a while since I've had anything crafty going on. I've been thinking for a while of making some skirts for lilia at some point and today I finally tried my hand at it. I made the pattern out of an old paper grocery bag. It worked quite well! It was definitely a good first try. I think I have a good idea of what to change for next time. You better believe there will be more - but maybe not until she's not growing out of things so fast! Last Monday Lilia turned 8-months-old. I have recently started putting her in 12-month clothes. She's a skinny little thing, but she sure is long!


before I made the final decision to add the ruffle.


so glad I added the ruffle. It completes the skirt.


shortly after eating dinner. As you can probably tell, she eats a ton (more than either of the boys ever did)!


the girl definitely makes the skirt!
