I'm still doing laundry from our trip since we got back late wednesday night so I don't have pictures of the full outfits, but my dd is adorable, so I figured I'd post these anyway and get pictures that actually show the clothes some time tomorrow with my other sns as we near the wire :) I don't normally do character stuff, but couldn't resist since we went to Disneyland on vacation (a free trip/bonus from dh's work--whoo-hoo!)
We did the character dining Breakfast with Minnie since about the only character Lorelei actually is familiar with is Pooh Bear and he and Tigger are at the breakfast. I was a bit worried about how she'd do with the characters, but she had a great time. I made her a tiered peasant dress and matching kerchief with attached ears. She decided to dip her kerchief in her pancakes so it was not available for pictures later in the day. I did the top of the dress a bit large and ended up shirring the entire second tier (the black one) to give it some shape and was really pleased with the accident, I just love how it worked out. We stopped at dh's dad's house and he wouldn't believe his wife when she told him I made the outfit. That definatly gave me a smile.

Here's another outfit without the hat, which is sad because I love the hat lol. The matching hat is a from last summer's Ottobre and then I flipped the brim up and attached it with a jingle bell-- I'll get a picture soon, I swear. Purple Tinkerbelle woven with lime polkadots for accent. I did 5 lines of shirring just below the chest. I kinda wish I had shirred the edge of the sleeve for a ruffle rather then doing elastic casings, but oh well.

anyway, I'll stop babbling now.
