Robin invasion!

Our yard was full of robins this morning! I don't think I've ever seen so many at one time before! It's gotta mean SPRING, right? Sure made for a great start to my day, anyway. Here are some of them for you to enjoy, too... and click the pics to enlarge them if you want.

Finally!

Yeah, finally another post. But better yet, I finally got the dress done that goes with the baby's tights! Here it is, made out of some of the fabric I won way back in October.

It turned out pretty well, but next time I think I'd put some elastic in the cuffs.

Courtney took a picture of the baby with her camera, too!

And of course she had to pose with the baby herself. I'm not sure what kind of a face that is.

More baby outfits in the future, but first I have to finish up a couple other things I've started with more of that fabric I won. I'll show you whenever I get 'em done!

Next Christmas....

.... I want my Christmas tree decorated like this:

(Do click to enlarge and see the feathery detail!)

Well, maybe not with a TV antenna on top, though.

Spring fever?

Symptoms:
1) Longing for GREEN
2) Itching to be outdoors without coats, boots, hats, scarves, mittens
3) Doing wacky things indoors such as:

4) Watching impatiently for that first robin

5) Browsing the internet for fun things to use outdoors... like these outdoor playsets (Grandpa??? There are some great discount prices right NOW!)

6) And the list goes on.....

What are YOUR symptoms?

Here's part of it

I didn't get the whole outfit finished yet, but I did get the tights done. They were easy peasy to make, and luckily I had some great stretchy fabric that was in a grab bag I'd gotten at an online fabric shop.

Aren't they CUTE?!

The tights got "Mommy's" approval (although they're kinda hard for her to get onto the baby).

Come back later to see the rest of the outfit... hopefully it won't take too long to finish! Then again, it might be next Tuesday before the baby's back here to model it.
