Birthday Fun

What a wonderful birthday party Bella had. We are so lucky to have such wonderful friends and family. I am beat, and can't wait to meet sleep...I still have to wrap up a few goodies for the birthday girl to give her tomorrow on her "real" birthday. Just lovin this, that's what being a kid is all about! Oh, and the mustache, Bella is obsessed with fake mustaches. Don't know why. But oh yeah, her auntie and uncle gave her a economy pack of them for her b-day, and it was the hit of the party. They are a bit fuzzy, leaving somewhat of a bad taste in your mouth:O Queen of the Balloons..

Blue Belle

I have my "Happy Face" on tonight as we call it. I have been wanting to make this skirt for Belle forever. I haven't the time. I wanted more than anything for her to wear it at her birthday party tomorrow. I haven't even cleaned for the party yet, I managed to squeeze in a few hours to make this today for her. I couldn't be happier. This is how determined I was to finish this skirt for her for the party. We were both up this morning at 6 am. I was finishing the pattern on the floor of her room while she played Barbies, and I would cut in every once in a while and be the "daddy" (Ken). Then as soon as she went down for a nap, I was able to sew up a storm, very therapeutic for me with such a long week behind us. I even was able to rummage through Grandmother's button box for a special button. I hope this fits the little gal. The waist is not elastic, and has to be perfect. Belle still has such a toddler belly. She will wear the skirt with a petticoat that was my mother's when she was Bella's age. It is a little short, but who cares. It is beautiful, and appears to also be handmade. Now to decide what top she will wear with it......
