Tuesday (age four) has never been that into drawing people. She’s a note girl. So I pretty much am in love with this.

A perennial favorite (Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival). First way back in 2006 (by the way I totally thought he was going to propose that day. And also, whoa, I’ve been blogging for 8 years?!?!). The day I took the positive pregnancy test (that turned out to be Tuesday) in 2008 (also that closet is now stairs to our second floor). The first time I took Tuesday in 2010, and the last time I went in 2011. Oh time you crazy thing.
Two girls.
It was super sunny today and we loved it.
This is pre fall in the mud puddle.
This is post fall in the mud puddle. Bj was showing her a funny way to walk to try and coax her back up through the fields. He’s so great… his powers were not quite great enough for me to get a picture of Bennet in her Nana made dress in front of the flowers. But he did try to get her all smiley.
Hahaha, she’s such a crazy happy little thing.
Family photo! We’re thinking about getting those Queen of Night tulips (left side, dark purple) to mix with our other purple tulips in front of the picket fence. But I’m debating, they might be too dark… thoughts?
I’ll leave you with this:
Tuesday happy as can be just playing on this tube slide over and over. We were at the festival over an hour before she agreed to go walk among the flowers! -
The I can’t help myself, this is too cute suit!
Um, ya. I just want to eat her up! I started with this vintage pattern:
Simplicity 9738 from 1980 (the year I was born!) I’ve been sewing with knits… a lot!
This is a micro fleece from Jo-Ann’s (I could make a couple dozen of these, I went a wee bit crazy on Black Friday). Yes, fleece is a knit material (choose your needles accordingly!).
The only place I varied from the pattern was with the hood. When I was putting it on I realized that it would gape a bit around my small headed baby’s head. And it wasn’t lined, so I figured out how to line it. Now, I had already done the front hemming (is that the right word here?) on the edge of the hood so Icouldn’tdidn’t want to pick it apart to neatly add in the lining. Since knits don’t fray I just cut it really close and sewed right on the edge. It worked. I figured out how to line a hood myself (I am very proud of this!). I also left off the drawstring on the sweatshirt. Because… a drawstring on a baby sweatshirt? I don’t think that’s such a good idea, do you?
Look at those ears, awe… She wore this all the time in Alaska. It is big, so it’s perfect for layering. The pants pattern are almost a spot on match for a North Face pair we have, and were pretty easy. I think the cuff makes them look more professional. I made another pair of the pants in a size 2 for Maddie, and simple boot cut style joggins for Tuesday and Chloe so they would all have matching pants. This was super important to me to do before we left for our trip for some reason and yet… not a single photo of them all in their pants. And even though I made Chloe’s extra long that girl has LEGS and the pants fit her for about a week. So you can just imagine how cute and snuggly four girls in this micro fleece looked.
YAWN. Enough about this outfit mom.
