Halloween Skirt for the girl

Happy almost Halloween!!!!


I haven't been doing much lately; as most of you who know, or those of you who even care, I've been sick.  Thought it was mono (EBV) again, but not so!!!  Thank our good, great Lord!!  I do know that I will NEVER, EVER, EVER, get another steroid shot for anything.  I haven't been the same since.  Or, my immune system hasn't been the same since.

So, anywho...  in my up-times these past few days, I did do a few things.  Last Halloween, we found  Allie the cutest little Halloween shirt--probably from Walmart or Kohls, and I just couldn't get rid of it.   So, I saved it knowing I would do something with it this year.

Isn't he just the cutest lil' cat!!  I couldn't toss it!


The shirt as a whole.    I cut him out, added some orange floss on his ears, and an "A" on his little heart for Allie of course!  Then I just stitched him onto an old purple work out shirt of Kris's, using green floss, and then stitched it all onto the new white Walmart shirt with orange floss.  I pinking sheared my way around him after I got him all stitched on.  Added a couple of buttons to keep her cuff up. I was rather pleased.

Camo Circle Skirt

Went to the Newport Aquarium yesterday.  Was a really neat place, but all day long, Atlantis's aquarium kept popping in and out of my head.  So needless to say, I have fruity drinks and sunshine on the brain.  Oh well, got some cool pics--



This light/chandelier was obviously....  In the jellyfish room!!  How cool would something like that look in a kids play room.  Hmm.....

You all didn't know I could walk on water did ya?!?!  Ha, this was the weirdest feeling, but very  neat.  Wish I had gotten the shark when it swam under, but had little-big-man pulling me away as fast as I could snap a pic!



Okay, enough of the aquarium, onto my project of the day!!


The CIRCLE SKIRT

Fun, fun easy skirt!
The shirt I re-fashioned to go with it.  This was one of Lo's .

Just a hangin'

On the girl!  (Before the shirt was finished)

So, Allie now has her outfit all nice and ready for church tomorrow.  Wish I felt like getting a bow ready, but my craftiness is over for the day!
