Planning ahead

So, let me start this off by telling you a little bit about my daughter. Bless her heart, she's as cute as a button, but sadly for her she got her Mommy's ears.

Here, I'll show you:


Given that combined with the fact that her hair isn't coming in very rapidly, I figure she will still be pretty eartastic come this Halloween. One of my motivators for learning to sew is that I really want to make my kids' costumes. My mom always made ours, so that's just something I want to do for them. All of these factors combine to inspire me to dress her up as a little fairy/sprite/pixie (choose whichever moniker you like best) for Halloween. I started poking around on the web & found this:

Now I will be doing more of a Spring color scheme, because as you can see, little Miss Julia is not an Autumn, but that's the basic idea. I have the slip and a good handful of the flowers (thanks, Kathy for going with me to buy a bunch of them.) I also have the glue gun all ready to go. Now I just have to hope that the slip I bought will still be big enough in 5 months. Hrm, I think I should try it on her when I get home today...
