The Laidlaws

I had MAJOR cabin fever yesterday!! So I escaped with the three youngest in between naptimes yesterday. I went to Target, not that big of a deal, but it was sooo nice to be out of the house! And best of all, all the kids were happy and no crying! So I saw a cute little skirt there that I needed... okay, just wanted. They wanted six dollars for it, but I knew I could make it for less, haha. It isn't quite the same, theirs had a bow and I did a flower (on this one, I will be making a silver one and plan on doing the bow) and the tulle behaved a little different, as in it lays down nicer. I picked out a shimmery tulle and I really like it.


Elizabeth is obsessed with her feet lately and loves feeling different textures... so this skirt may have to be worn later when she doesn't pick it apart, I am not sure yet if the tulle will fray if she picks on it.



I really like the button, but I couldn't get a good picture of it, it has a flowery design etched on it.

I had to take a break from my ruffley Christmas skirts or my head was going to explode! I wanted something quick and easy, something that could be finished in one naptime, and this fit the bill. Now I must go back to my frilly skirts, gotta make them in time for Santa's visit at the family Christmas party!! Good thing I have a "Grandma day" coming up!
