New Little Brother

Collin brought home a cup of grass that he had grown at school. The grass was getting long and thick so I told him it was time to give it a haircut. Collin decided that if he was going to give it a haircut, he ought to make it his little brother. So he turned it into a monster little brother and named it Piggy.



Don't you see the resemblance?



I have been doing fun girly things lately for Lexie, too. My sister Hillary and I spent an afternoon making hair bows and such one day.




About a year ago, I went to the Conference Sale at Deseret Book with my Mom and I saw this cute pattern for a skirt. I bought it and found some cute corduroy to make it out of. Then, I cleaned up and organized my house after my family left and promptly forgot about the skirt. I found it the other day and decided I had better make it before Lexie outgrew the pattern (good thing it went from 12 months to 3 years)! Here is the result. She put it on and started dancing and twirling--my little girly-girl.

    I'm impressed, I would need some definate brushing up on my sewing skills before attempting a project like that. I love Collin's hair what a cutie.

    Good job on the bows, you did a ton! I still want to do the tutus with you sometime. I just have to wrap up a couple projects before I start a new one.
