Birthday Skirt and Saturday Fun

We had a really fun day today! Joel's mom and grandmother came up, and Jayne (his mother) and I had a really good talk this afternoon while the girls slept and Joel was out with his grandmother. Then after the girls got up, they played with her and then played outside. Many bubbles were blown and one bubble wand made its way several times into Pilly's mouth. The girls also played in the car. I know they need to share, but sometimes I do wish we had two!



Here they were doing a very good job sharing:)



Then they switched places and Pilly was almost pushed out the door, but peace still reigned in the backyard!

Tomorrow, we are going to a birthday party for Pnut's friend Maddie. We bought her the Cooties game and I made her a twirly skirt:



I love this pattern because I can do it all in one afternoon and it turns out so cute! I wasn't too sure about the colors when I bought the fabric, but I just love the way it turned out.



Here is a close-up of the detail. The flowers kind of remind me of the ones that are in my garden!

Then because I had some leftover material and wanted to make sure we had enough (Maddie's parents are very generous with Pnut's birthday), I decided to make a purse:



I love this little purse!!! I was going to try to find some ribbon like the tutorial suggested for that edging, but I am so glad that I decided to go with the lining fabric. I think it is just too cute. Now, hopefully Maddie will like it. I don't know...her mom said we could get her a truck for her birthday so we will see!

In other news, silly Java slept with us last night. He chewed on my hair and pushed me around and woke me up in the middle of the night. I would like to say that he did the same to Joel, but he didn't bother him at all. That silly dog wouldn't leave me alone. I am not sure that he will be returning to the bed tonight. I feel bad putting him in the basement again though but I do need more sleep than that!

I hope everyone has a very blessed and restful Sunday!
