Those little onesies got me thinking… I wear cotton jersey shirts too! So how about one for me?
Yay for balloons! And now I get to see how it wears and washes for myself so I can make sure I haven’t been giving gifts that fall apart. I may embroider little lines connecting the balloon to the basket, or maybe I’ll just go ahead and wear it as is.
And even though it is *so* 2004, I have wanted a tiered skirt forever. Every one I’ve tried on has been too sheer, or had an unflattering fit (it is all about where the first row of gathers hits your hip). So I made my own, which (surprise) is both too sheer and doesn’t gather quite where I’d like. So as not to scandalise you, I am wearing a slip in the picture.
While it isn’t the skirt of my dreams, it is very comfortable and will be lovely and cool on a hot day!
I’ve tried to squeeze all of my crafty time into the morning, since I have a ton of non-crafty stuff to do today. My sister and niece arrive for a week-long visit tonight, so I probably won’t have much time for either crafts or chores in the next few days. There will, however, be lots of time devoted to fun and giggling. Happy Friday, and happy belated Solstice!
