Easter Dress

Peekaboo photos is one of my very favorite photo sites and inspiration for outfits and accessories I want to try for Bexley. I've seen these skirts in her pictures several times and always wanted to make one for Bex.

I had every intention of making Bexley's Easter dress this year with these skirts in mind, but couldn't find the motivation when the time came. So instead I took this dress that was just a hair too short and made it work.

I just added a slip, basically, and sewed ruffles on the back half and add a couple of ruffle layers on the front to add the length. Then I cut an opening in the back to show off the ruffles. Last, I sewed a strip of ribbon around the entire base of the top layer skirt to finish it off.

When Kiki and I got together a few weeks ago we were sharing our ideas for our girls' dresses and had the same idea, I couldn't wait to see her's from complete scratch. And she did not dissapoint! Check it out here.

Flowers

My sisters and I were a little obsessed about making new flower clips when I went home last month. We tried some rosettes.


Some satin & tulle.

And a couple of bows.

Then, I came back to Ohio and met the cutest couple at church with a little girl the same age as Bexley with the cutest little felt flower on her head. I was so excited to be bff's with this family only to find out they were only visiting from Boston for the weekend. I've been DESPERATE for crafting friends so I just decided to start my own monthly craft night and invite everyone here I've met...so we made the cute felt flowers this week and I can't wait to put them on Bexley's cute little head.
