Birthdays and Babies

It's hard to believe GB#4 is six today. 

We celebrated yesterday at a new-to-us park. 

It was so good to see this little family 

that will soon be getting a little bit bigger.

Easter Dresses Revealed

As promised, here is the Easter dress reveal.  The patterns above are the ones I used.  

They came from my childhood home, have been in my possession for many years 

and are dated 1959 and 1957.

Dress number one was made for GB#4.

I love the details that are a part of the vintage patterns.

Of course, the dress alone was not enough.  It needed a sweet pinafore.

The back was just as sweet as the front.

The details continue on the pinafore.

Ruffled eyelet trim,

and a scalloped hem complete the look.

GB#4 seems happy with her new outfit.

Dress number two was made for GB#2.  

I used a different floral than the first dress but used the same pink gingham for the accents. 

The details continue on this dress.

It was such a joy to work on and complete these little treasures. 

I love the outcome.  Mom (CJ) was especially thrilled.

And since the girls were dressed in their new duds, 

I took the opportunity to do a quick photo shoot of their whole family.

A Couple of Young Men

T-bone (DS) was sworn in as a lawyer today.  We are so proud of that young man.

Later in the day we did our 4 month shoot for GB#3.

These are a few of the shots that didn't make picture of the day.

Here's looking at you,

Someone You Love

Day 14 of the June Challenge:  Someone You Love

As luck would have it, CJ arranged a photo shoot today in honor of Father's Day

for T-Bone and GB#2 (Daddy and daughter).

It was perfect weather for an outside shoot and perfect timing for the challenge.

See you next time,
