Happy First Birthday, Nico!

I can't believe Nico is already one, but he is! I'm so jealous of everyone who gets to be at his party tomorrow. I'll be thinking about all of you!

So, because it's Nico's birthday, I made Ari a skirt. :) Really, I just wanted to see if I could make a skirt, and I had some purple fabric, which just happens to be Ari's favorite color. I called an expert for some advice on what to add to the skirt, and Ella suggested I make a rainbow skirt. That sounded a little more complicated than I'm capable of, so Ella said I should just put a butterfly about to land on a bow. Well, I got the butterfly, at least! The fabric is really a nice purple color, it just isn't showing well.



I made this tote/purse a few days ago, I just hadn't taken pictures of it yet. The white dots are actually hearts.


Inside it has a pen pocket...


...and a regular pocket!

I hope everyone has a great weekend, and whether you're at Nico's birthday party, Will and Megan's wedding, or hunting at Mom and Dad's, know I wish I was there, too! (Okay, maybe not actually hunting, but hanging out in the house.)

:) I know we'll be missing you at Nico's party too. Looks like the new sewing machine is keeping you busy. Are you thinking of taking up quilting or anything like that?

I think Becky may have a good idea for you. I would love to have a home made quilt, or maybe just a lap quilt. hint, hint...I love the purse you posted. Well I'm not in Texas so not enjoying all the fun stuff but I am sitting at home by myself and let me tell you it's getting pretty boring so I definitely know how you are feeling Janie! Maybe you and I should just hangout sometime? Love you sweetie,
Aunt Lisa
