Happy Halloween!

I can't believe it has been a month since I last posted. Sorry about that. I don't know how that happened!

Amelia decided she wanted to be Tinkerbell months ago. So, I set to work. I altered an existing dress pattern for the top and made up different size leaf shapes for the skirt. It came together surprisingly quickly. From what I've seen nearly every toddler girl costume contains a tutu. So, of course, Amelia had to have one too. With wings and a bun, Tinkerbell was created. She loves it! Hooray!

Wedding Princess

A few weekends ago, we traveled down to Guthrie, OK to see my cousin Rebecca get married. Amelia decided that it would be fun for us to take some professional photos. That explains the hand under the chin pose. The extra poofy skirt was achieved with a fancy petticoat under the dress.

Life Jacket

We were picking up some essentials at Walmart when Amelia saw the rack of puffer vests aka Life Jackets. Of course, she couldn't live without the pink one. It's reversible with a pink cheetah print on the other side. Can you tell she loves it?

Cuteness

Is that a word? I'm pretty sure I just made it up. I couldn't think of a better post title.

Baby Quilt for Marshall

Our friends Nick and Mary had a baby back in August. Marshall Nicholas Johnson. Mary wanted bright colors for the baby's quilt with gray. So here's what I came up with. Do you like my quilt holding helper?

Quilt pattern was taken from here.

Blue Tongue

Amelia's new favorite picture pose involves sticking her tongue out. It worked out perfectly after she finished her blue sucker from dance class!

After School Downtime

A few weeks ago we had a 'cold' spell. It got into the 70s, so that is why Amelia is in pants in these pictures. She's just enjoying an afternoon snack while she watches Tangled on my tablet.

Makeup

This is for those of you not on Facebook. A couple weekends ago, I woke up at the leisurely time of 8:12 AM. Instead of feeling energized, I felt panic. Amelia never, ever sleeps that late. She had to be up to something.

I found her in our bathroom, covered in lipstick. Her face, arms, and legs all had a lovely, shimmery Bamboo Pink color. She was quite proud of herself. I'm just glad she didn't get it all over her pajamas.

First Fishing Trip

Amelia was very excited to use her light up Tinkerbell fishing pole. She caught bluegills so fast, the poor worms didn't stand a chance!

New Playground

We found a new playground for Amelia this weekend. She isn't quite up to the recommended 5 years old yet, but she still had a blast!
