She really wanted a picture of her first lost tooth. She happens to be wearing a fun and funky shirt that has fun and funky pants matching. There is a red ruffle along the hem of the shirt and a 2 layer ruffle along the hem of the pants. This outfit was left from Abigail. She had about a dozen of these outfits in various vibrant colors. This child was wearing it for only a moment and is not interested in any of these hand-me-downs. Goodwill is so lucky.

Did I post these already? If so, enjoy them again. They have regained popularity in our house. Ours are made like puppets but have many other uses.

A tiny bit of bunny origami. Abigail can be so creative, so long as it isn't something I suggest.

This one is from the book Little Girls, Big Style. The book has just a few, but very useful patterns. We are very lucky that our library has this one! We are also lucky to have this palm tree in our back yard. When a palm starts to fall, she grabs on and swings in mid air around the whole tree and back.

This is a new dress pattern made from soft cotton knit. The neckline is fine in real life- I'm just a terrible photographer. There was also a ruffle option for the bottom, which would have looked great if I was brave enough to add it.
