As promised, here are the pictures of the birthday outfit. The pro pics are in but unfortunately Target portrait studio will not let me have the online pictures to share and they want an astronomical amount to get a CD.
The sweetheart onesie was mostly my idea and all my own pattern and sewing. My mom got the fabric for me a few years ago, but I was waiting to use it for the perfect thing. I love the way it turned out and hope to make a few extra to sell.
I did cute rhinestone buttons in the back on her's. Stella's had elastic in the back instead. I had to add a little elastic ruching in the back because it was too loose in the front.
I was busy these past few weeks working on another dress. I found the
pattern here on Pinterest. Instead of using a Jelly Roll, I made my own strips. The fabric with the white background was another one from my mom.
Figuring out what to feed a 2 year old has been very difficult. I sometimes wish I could give in and give her sugar 24 hours a day as she is requesting. I figured out she likes bologna, salami, and pepperoni. I need to start making our lunches ahead of time because I am so busy, she gets very angry by the time I have to make something for her, and cook something? forget it. I took a 1/2 tablespoon measuring spoon and pressed it into a slice of cheese and a slice of bologna added some crackers and as with everything, ketchup. Viola! we have a homemade lunchable and she loves it. Total cost was approx. $0.25 and the plate I got for the same amount at Kohls. I've also been putting together lunches and fitting it all inside a sandwich container that I got from the dollar store. Sandwich, raisins, cheese, cookies, it all fits!
