I have been a bad blogger. My apologies to those who read. Let it be known that not only did I make a blog post today, but I was also productive in another way. I wanted to try my hand at a tutu. Those who know me know that I do have a problem with them. I don’t not like them. I just think that they are appropriate for certain occasions. If worn and used at the right time, my dislike subsides.

At first I asked Miss Munchkin if she would wear one if I made it for her. I got a solid, without hesitation, “NO!” I was not deterred. I went to the store and found the materials. I included her in the process and encouraged her that she has “mad skizzor skilz”. I also told her that we were going to make 2. Her friend will soon be the proud recipient of the second one. I was hoping that making this second one would increase my chances of getting them worn for photographs.

I told her that I needed to take pictures to see what it looked like. She promptly limited me to how many times the shutter could click. “You can’t take that many mom. I know how many you’re taking. I heard it click more than that many times.” Of course I tried to be sneaky, but I can’t sneak it by her.

It’s not completely done because I do have to sew some items but didn’t have thread. I was pleased with the outcome. I thinking the second one may come out a little better. You know, practice and whatnot. I am now committed to making the second one since the first one is almost hot off the presses and a matching one needs to be completed.

It needs to be pulled up a bit, but those of you who know her know that she doesn’t like to wear pants where they are supposed to go. You can tell she’s totally enthused here.

A little toning….

Just one more….please…. (see the plaid ribbon and the fuzzy top – still have to sew those – safety pinned right now….oh and the bottoms need to be trimmed)

Aaaaaaaaaaand we’re done…POOF she’s gone.

Hopefully more pics of the other one soon.
