So today I'm finishing Bo Peep Hats. My workspace is crowded with supplies. There's the box with all the spools of blue ribbons, two big boxes with tiny flowers, and another with just leaves. I'd already sewn the lace linings into the hats, and sewn the decorative braid around the brims, and today I steamed the hats into shape, then sewed on the ribbons and ties, and am now working on attaching all the flowers. Tomorrow I hope to start cutting the fabric for the dresses, but first I need to choose a model from among my Kaye Wiggs girls.......maybe Layla.
Bonnie and Erzulie were out hunting for Easter eggs in the garden, which wasn't particularly exciting because the eggs were all laying out in plain view, because there were no plants big enough to hide them. But then they spotted a large group of baby chicks looking for worms among a bit of greenery. Well, there's absolutely nothing little girls love more than baby animals... Well, that's it for Easter photos for another year. I can't say that I was particularly motivated this year. I just want to get back to sewing and clear out the backlog of commissions. Some people have been patiently waiting for a very, very long time.
