Spontaneous Creations

How cute are these two? Katey is Evie's new friend! Joel and Kris came over for lunch and while the boys were swapping music on iTunes we decided to make the girls matching dresses. These were super simple drawstring jumpers out of tee shirt weight jersey. (On sale at JoAnn's for $4 a yard, and we maybe used 2/3 yds. per dress...) I think it looks so comfy to hang out in during the summer or for a swimsuit cover-up, I'm thinking I need to make one for myself.

Did I mention how awesome Kris is? She gave me the pattern for this cute tooth pocket because Jake has gotten his first loose tooth. He can't wait to use it! (When he figured out the tooth was loose he said, "Oh, this is the day I have waited years for!)


And we are working on raising up the next generation of crafters! Kris got Katey and Evie these cute girly pirate necklace kits and helped them string them up. So cute. I'm not sure what Evie loved more, making it or wearing it...


I really need to hang with Kris more often... she totally gets me.

first: You amaze me. Your creative mind is a an absolute wonder. You whipped out the dresses Like THAT! Next, Love that you finished the Tooth pocket (you did leave the small pocket open for the tooth, didn't you? :)
Also, I really wanted the Scalleywag bling for myself- i mean, I have the black eye, i could cover it with a patch...
AND That, by far, is the best reason yet for me to win. I can't stop laughing. And, just so you know, I really like being with you, too.
