The quilt I thought was never going to happen. You can refer back to the original post from May 29, 2008. I am usually proud of my ability to complete projects in a timely manner- except for quilt projects. My dear quilting friend has inspired me to take out all of my unfinished quilting projects and complete them. While she holds my hand, because I'm a complete quilting idiot. Really. We sit once a week for 2 hours and peck away. Amazingly, we are making great progress. My new mantra: "Do not cut out anything new, quilt related."

I used a pattern from Little Girls, Big Style again. Cute book, few patterns, fun colors. No one here will wear this dress, which is why it is so wrinkled from sitting in a box unwanted.

As a baby, she had a diaper made from this fabric. For St. Patrick's Day, there was a lined dress. Now, a nightgown. The bottom hem was done with orange bias tape handmade by my dear bias-tape-making friend Victoria! I love this stuff!

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.
