We Can Finally Talk About It

Easter that is.   What did you think I meant? lol

So Easter… this year I wanted to make the girls dresses, matchy-matchy almost.  So after making the tiered dress for Artiste’s birthday I wanted to make that for Easter instead of thehandmadedress.net pattern.  You will just see how that turned out.  After finishing  the first tiered dress, which gave me all kinds of trouble, I couldn’t wait to try it on my little Evie.  On it went.  Now let’s just say it was a little revealing on top and she need a adjustment.  Happily I went on, put the pants on her so I could see the whole outfit together.  Ah they are cute I think (although they will NOT go over her CD and she will have to wear a sposie for Easter).  No worries.  I turn to DH who takes one look and says he hates it.  To quote later “the girls looked clownish”.  I am not kidding, this was the day before Easter.  I completely lost it.  I was quite angry.  I decide I am going to ahead with my plan even he is not into the “boutique style”.  I make my other DD’s dress.  Ugh, the pants are a bit long.  She would not, flat out refused, to let me try anything on her.   Oh well, I think it’s just one day.  I put the girls in their dresses/pants, boys all dressed up, DH and I ready to go.  Wait I want a photo of the kids.  I grab the camera.  I take picts, they look great on the viewfinder.  A second after taking the last photo my battery dies.   Wonderful, if nothing I have these pictures.  And we are off.  The rest of the day was good and the kids had lots of fun.  Now in hindsight I can say I wish I had done the handmade dress like I had originally intended.  While the dress was adorable, I am in the midwest and boutique clothing isn’t really seen here much.  Oh and the highlight, those pictures I took all turned out black.  I have none of them altogether.  Ah well, and so it goes….

I only have this photo of the two outfits side-by-side.
