Easter Dressing

What happens when you make adorable outfits for your two girls, and matching bow ties for your son’s and then try to get them all to take a picture together?

If your answer was complete chaos, then you my dear are a genius.

While skimming the internet early this month, I found a pattern on One Little Minute that I decided to purchase for the Easter dresses of the ladybug and lil miss twizzler. I spent this weekend sewing them up (like any great mom – I waited until the last-minute when I also had orders to get out) and I think that they came out beautifully! The pattern was super simple to work with, and I love how professional the dresses ended up looking. The armholes are perfect, and the length and finish with the lining and main fabric was fabulous.

I used Michael Miller Citron Gray Cote d’Azure for the ladybugs’ dress:

I also made matching bow ties for the boys, and well, I attempted to get photos. Here’s visual evidence of my feeble attempts.

Sir Twizzler has been giving us comedic gold with the photographs lately. Honestly, I’m loving catching the craziness since they keep me in a fit of giggles.  So. I have no explanation for this photo.  This one screams he so tired of the paparazzi. And escaping. As usual. I mean, seriously. He’s either running, jumping, flipping, tumbling, rolling, or bumping. He does not stop.

Here are some better photos:

Sibling love – with Sir Twizzler adding the flair that only he can. 

This shot took like fifteen attempts. After a while I stopped caring about background and just took what I could get. 

There was a hairbow for Lil Miss Twizzler somewhere. As with anything, I’m taught daily that I should just roll with the punches, and also photograph early.

I hope that you and your families enjoyed the Easter festivties if you celebrate and that you truly remembered the reason for the season.
