Easter Eve Fun

The Saturday before Easter was beautiful and we decided to take advantage.We went to Dixon Garden and Galleria in Memphis (it's free Saturday's from 10-12) and then to a little park to play. Morgan has already learned to avoid daddy when he has the camera so that is why she is not looking in most of these pictures. I picked out the flower pictures, not Brent, so he may not be happy with the ones I've chosen, but they are the ones I liked. It was a great day and I'm glad we got to spend the time together as a family. We didn't take a single picture Easter Sunday. I'll tell you the Easter Bunny came and Morgan got a bubble flower, a swim suit, play doe, and a new robe. She loves hunting for Easter eggs in the house and the yard. She's actually pretty good at finding them. We enjoyed conference and had a yummy Easter lunch with some friends. I went a little picture happy.

Pre-Easter

Since Easter was conference weekend, we had to dress up for church the week before. Morgan and I wore matching outfits. It was kind of fun.


The traditional bunny cakes. It's hardly Easter with out them.

I couldn't have done them however, without the help from my friend Brien. She chose to make a purple one. I thought it turned out great.

Morgan was not super impressed with the egg dying process. I think she was just overly tired. We put hers in this whisk so we didn't have to worry about her dropping it. But she didn't want to put it in the water, she just wanted to shake it. Finally we just gave her an egg and let her put stickers on it.

Here's the finished product in all their glory. Yeah, we're not very artistic.

Projects

These are some projects I've been working on the last while and just haven't posted. Most are made from left over material with some embellishments. I was going to wait until Morgan wore all the things I'd made and I had pictures but I gave up and will post those later.

I made this shirt out of left over material from the apron I made for a friend. I saw the idea for the little ruffles on someone else's blog and I loved it.



I obviously did not make this shirt but I did the headband. I made this for my sister-in-law for her 13th bday. I thought it was cute and plan to make myself one with different ribbon.


I saw that you could make your pillowcase dress ties out of material instead of ribbon so I decided to try it with some left over material. I thought it worked out well. These dresses are so fun and easy.


My sister-in-law gave Morgan some PJ pants for Christmas and right away I thought I could make those. This is material left over from Morgan's shopping Cart cover.

This is a skirt I made from left over material my mom gave me after making our aprons. Morgan has worn it several times to church. This is obviously an old picture since we still have our old floors. Glad those are gone.

Total cost of all projects above: about $3.50. I love using extra material. It's like free clothes.

Ever have one of those days?

Morgan had one today.


After close to two hours of talking, laughing and screaming in her crib when she was supposed to be napping, I went in her room and found her like this. Needless to say, that was the end of our napping effort for today.
