Patty Cake

You're never too old to play Patty Cake with your Grandma, apparently.  Especially if you and your sister are playing at the same time with one arm each:

Swing Set in use

Before the weather turned so hot the swing set was getting some good use by the girls. Lise quickly learned to climb up the 'rock' wall all by herself, is learning how to pump on the swing, and loves going down the slide. Claire likes to turn upside down on the rings and use the rope to walk her feet up the rock wall.

Matching Dresses and Skirt

The girls have been asking me to make them more dresses... they love wearing dresses (and fancy flip flops and hair bows - thanks, Grandma Fran!):

Dresses from Target, hair bows and fancy flip flops from Grandma Fran and Pa!

Longtime readers of this blog may, or may not, remember matching dresses that were made a couple years ago.  The little dress now fits Sage, and the big dress fits Lise... but that leaves Claire feeling quite left out.  So she had been wanting me to make her another dress. 

I ended up having enough fabric already on hand in a flower print they both loved and so last week I made them matching dresses and made Sage a little matching skirt.

Here's one picture:



If you want to see a couple other pictures and see more details on the dresses, you can check out my new blog http://iowasummersewing.blogspot.com/ I started it after encouragement from a friend, to share some of my quilting and sewing projects with the two or three people who are interested (I will probably mostly work on the projects and write about them in the summer time - hence the name!).
