Oh the cuteness!!!

This little cutie is on her way to the Easter bunny.

{hop hop hop}



I hope we get to make more TaDollies with glasses.

She was super fun to make.



p.s. Her mom sent us the gorgeous Matilda Jane {scarf} to use for her dress.

Friday Fun

I came downstairs to see that Emily had filled her mini cupcake tin with Little People. They just looked so cute there all lined up. Made me smile.



I'm working on a fun project using red polka dot oil cloth and I can't wait to reveal it next week. I'll just say that my sewing area has been moved and greatly improved.



Sam may or may not be running around the house kicking a soccer ball, yelling "I got 4 points!", all while wearing his sister's polka dot swimsuit.

Happy F R I D A Y !!!

Come sew with us, just 3 spots left!

I was so excited when the Eagle Creek Almanac showed up in my mailbox last week. The girls really enjoyed seeing themselves in the "newspaper" too.

Amy and I are teaching a class on how to make the Claire dress, with step by step instructions, this May. If you learn best with hands-on help and like asking questions as you go, this beginner class may be just the right fit for you. But you better sign up quickly. Our class is already half full. Call Eagle Creek today, 952-233-3774, to reserve your spot. There is only space for 3 more! We will be making "view A" which is the peasant dress with attached apron, like our sample shown below. We'll show you how to add some easy appliqued flowers on the apron too.

Feel free to e-mail us any questions you have, tadacreations(at)gmail.com.

Books, trees and butterflies and swings

1. This week was spring break. I took the kids to the library and came home with 18 books. That's a first for me, since I've never been a library kind of person, but I'm hooked now.

I would love to know your favorites.

Our loot...

2. Our neighbors have decorated for Easter. The kiddos loved seeing this from our yard. There are three trees filled with these.

3. That same neighbor lost their willow tree in a storm last fall.

Our view has changed considerably.

That was a very sad day for me. Gone is the dreamy light that streamed through it's branches at about 7pm all summer long. *sniff*sniff*

4. I couldn't resist one more piece. I didn't see this at our store the first time, but another city had it and it had to be mine. we are having my parents over for breakfast tomorrow to celebrate my mom's birthday and I'm excited to use it all. Happy half birthday to me too!

5. Lots of sunshine and 60* means play-set time. This guy has been learning some new tricks from his big sister.

Happy Friday! Hope you all have a great week-end!

p.s. My ebay listings just ended and how fun that I was able to make $0.31 more than I needed, to buy the girls new bikes this summer. You know, the ones they'll learn to ride without training wheels. I'm SO excited! Thanks to any of you that bid and possibly won. We appreciate it!

Spring cleaning on eBay

Sizes range from 2T to 4T, and include this very special piece.



I purchased this piece from Jenn Cooper, who bought it from Nicole Owen's Sweet Tea Shoppe. BTW, Nic has had some really beautiful blog posts lately, as always, and I hope you are a reader. Nic was/is raising money for their adoption from Ethiopia, so when Jenn was selling it and said that the proceeds would be given back to Nic I jumped on it. My girls wore it maybe 4 times and it is still in excellent condition. You can see Nic's original photos {here} and Jenn's {here}. This is the top that keeps on giving...as the proceeds will again be given back to Nic. :)

You can find all of my girls' summer resales {here}.

Thanks for taking a peek!
