We've been a little busy around here, so it's been a while since I've posted. (Obviously - did I really need to type that?) Since I've been back home full time, I've been doing a TON of knitting, and haven't really done much sewing other than a set of pillowcases for Andrew and one purse. Andrew will be getting his pillowcases on Sunday when he turns 3. THREE!!! My goodness, where does time go? Anyway, today I got a chance to sew a little. The girls each had a pair of jeans that still fit in the waist, but were way too short for them. So I decided to be a little crafty and make some modifications!
From this:

in a matter of about 2 hours. I didn't have a pattern so it took me a while to figure it out as I went. This skirt is Aelin's. Of course I used a pink fabric! Tomorrow I'll be doing the same in a purple version for Annika from this:
Once I've finished, I'll try to get them to model them for a photo! This is a really fun project, and I foresee lots of these skirts on all of the girls from now on! But right now I have to meet the school bus and get Attie. I'm hoping to have lots of photos, projects, and birthday news to post after the weekend. With such wonderful summer weather sticking around, there should be plenty to blog about. I just need to take time out from the sunshine to get to the computer! Enjoy your weekend everyone!
