a couple more check marks

I have this box of unfinished projects in my closet. Rather, projects that I have all or most of the supplies to do, I just haven't started them yet. They are in one of those big rubbermaid bins {big}, all divided up in 2 gallon size ziplocks, ready to be retrieved. I've made a significant dent this week with the felt playhouse {which actually wouldn't fit in my bin}, a valence for the kitchen window, a little banner for Ives' birthday, a skirt for Ivy's 1 year pics coming up, and then another skirt for her to wear on her actual birthday...but I had two shirts to get crazy with. So, today, I give you two more check marks.

here's to emptying that bin!!!

My MIL gave me a box of vintage trims and ribbons a couple of years ago. I've always liked this orange one, and never wanted to use it, because I was saving it for some magical purpose. That means I just wanted to look at it. Anyway, I used it. I think the tank top turned out cute. I may add some more to it later, but for now, check.

Then I wanted to make Ives a little cupcake shirt to match her skirt I made her. Here is the she-devil modeling it, but you can't see the cupcake.

...and you still can' t see it, but she's stinkin' cute.

oops, caught her when she least expected it, but at least you can see her cupcake. I can't wait for her to wear it for one whole day. I still have to make the bloomies that go underneath it, but for now...check.
