Easter Dresses

I sewed Ruby's Easter dress this year because I use to make dresses for my neice Josie when she was little, but had yet to make one for Ruby. I spent half of Saturday making it and it was still missing a eyelet skirt underneath the dress but oh well. I waited until the last minute to get Ruby dressed because she had a white shirt under the dress and I cleaned up all the candy but it didn't matter she somehow found a RED jellybean and ruined the first white shirt I put on her. Luckily Ruby's grandma Dodd had bought her another white shirt the week before and I changed her right before we left for church. The funny thing is that I must have not have cleaned all the red mess from under her chin because the second white shirt had a hint of pink around the chin area.

Obviously Ruby was not in the mood for picture taking because I could not get her to really smile. Even the first picture is only a half smile.

Hey Krista! The dress looks great! I wanted to let you know that I found a computer program that takes the cricut and lets you use any font or dingbat on your computer. It works with the little or big cricut. I thought you might be interested because it's only 60$. It might be cheaper to buy the small cricut and the program, than buying the wishblade. I bought it and it's very easy to use. Here's the website... craftedge.com. Call me if you have any questions! By the way, I love the blog...it's so much fun to see the kids!

I love the boarders on your pictures. Is that part of your template? If not...how are you doing it?
