So, I'm not very crafty and I seem to be getting less and less crafty as the years go by (I'll blame it on the five kids). However, I made this!!! I am so excited!
Maggie has been nominated for Junior Snow Queen for the Snowdown Festivities in Durango this weekend and she has a pagent/interviews (or something) tomorrow afternoon that will determine who is the Snowdown Junior King and Queen. Well, there is NO shopping in Durango and we're on a pretty tight budget right now, so I didn't really want to spend money on a new outfit. So, she is wearing her big puffy red tule skirt that she has had for years and then I made her this shirt to match! I saw it in some catalog (probably Chasing Fireflies) and it was $68 and I thought, "I can make that." Well, the shirt I saw had the entire heart filled in. . .with a pink row or two. . .and that was my plan. . .until just the outline took over two hours. . .glad I didn't start in the middle (and, Gabby won't be getting a matching one either).
Hopefully it wears well. . .if so, she'll be wearing it to Snowdown and her class Valentine's Day party and her talent show later in the month! I'll keep you posted!
