This week...

...we made what is quite possibly our most favorite Pop Garden TaDollie to date.

We love all the different textures, velvet and satin ribbons, corduroy and of course the felt.

Do you suffer from the what-ever-I-just-made-is-my-most-favoriteist-thing-ever-itis?

Me too. Welcome to the club.



I love how her mom described her daughter as having eyes like Hershey's Kisses.

Hmmm...are Hershey's Kisses tax deductible?

Because I think I consumed a few too many, all in the name of research. ;)



Another lovely name.



And another sweet outfit.

This time to match a sweet TaDollie and her apron.



And "Happy Spring" to me!



I just love these melamine pieces and tablecloth from Target. My kitchen is going yellow this spring and I can't wait to use these for a get together shortly after. I didn't have enough will power to resist all those scalloped edges. The small plates and bowls are meant to be used as place settings, but they will all be serving pieces for me. And a great deal for around $2 each (the platter is $15). I can just see that platter filled with cupcakes or little sandwiches and a plate and bowl as some sort of dip combo. The aqua striped bowls will be perfect for Sam's Dr. Seuss birthday this fall too.

Is it starting to look like spring at your house?

The Fashion Show

We had such a great time with the Fashion Show. Lots of planning went in to it. And of course like any big event, it flew right by. Before I new it, we were done. So glad to have even just a few photos to get an idea of what everyone else saw. Look at Allison striking a pose. That was all her, we didn't practice that.



Emily being a little shy and Allison completely enjoying herself. I think all the giggles from the audience made it easier. Amy was so smart to prep the girls with "if people laugh, just remember that they aren't laughing at you. They are just having a really good time." Later, her daughter said "Mom everyone is having a really, really good time!"



Love that you can also see the back of my bff, Sara's, head in this next one.
Thanks to so many for coming out to support us!



And if you would be so kind, please become a fan of Eagle Creek Quilt Shop on facebook (and TaDa! Creations while you're at it too). They need to get enough "likes" so they can officially have a page before their next newsletter goes to print. And wouldn't you know? Amy and I will be in their next newsletter too. :) We are teaching a sewing class at ECQS in May. More details to come...

Right before my eyes

these little girls



grew up.





And don't worry, she's not really staring daggers at me. This is her "I just woke up from a nap I didn't intend to take" look. And she's probably cold too (though she'd never admit it) from insisting on wearing summer clothes when it's still just 30* outside.







We are ready...bring on S U M M E R!

And how adorable is this little hat?
I came across this tonight and just had to share it with you.



Eeek! It comes in adult sizes too. I know!
I think everyone in my family needs one.
