Feed The Birds and a Dress To Cherish

She is quite the crafty kid!

She begged and begged

to paint a birdhouse for the tree in our front yard.

Oh, and yes! 

She IS wearing a 

Yaya's Apron 

made in the super simple

"Crafty Kid" style.

And yes!

You CAN make one for your own crafty kid!

(Commercial over now!)

She hung it in the tree

and then it took this slow poke mama

about a week to remember to buy birdseed.

But she wanted to fill it herself.

She is so excited!

I wonder when we will have 

our first birdy diners.

And do you remember the little dress

I was making for my precious niece Cherish?

Well, I finished it in true Goosegirl fashion!

You see, we decided to go for a short visit to 

Sparks, NV to see my parents

and then Grass Valley to see Don's parents

last weekend. 

Rather spur of the moment, really.

And I was not finished with the dress.

So, I packed it up and finished sewing it at 

my parents house!

I am now kicking myself that I did not take 

my little dress form so you could see 

this little dress better. 

The lime green seersucker

is so fresh and light

and I love the fuchsia rick rack and 

embroidery thread.

I wish I could be with Cherish and 

her Mommy and Daddy

this weekend, the day before Easter,

when she will be dedicated to Jesus.

I am still working on the smocking for 

Ahnalin's Easter dress.

I tried to talk her into a dress

to match Cherish's dress.

Well, she reminded me that 

she is 6 now and may not want

smocking when she is 7 

so this may be her last smocked Easter dress!!!
EY YI YI!

I pray the Lord is blessing you this Holy Week.

Happy Sewing!
