Easter Recap

Easter was something that I dreaded this year. With Scott being deployed and having our first Easter all the way up in Alaska without any family , I thought it would be disappointing.

Pleasantly it wasn't. My friend Kelsey and her daughter came over for dinner and we had a blast just eating a ham dinner and lounging afterwards.

Jasmine went bonkers for her Easter basket. She is a chocolate fiend already at 14 months old.

This is a photo of the destroyed Easter basket. There was a stuffed bunny in there , which promptly got flung out in an effort to make way for the chocolate.

So in talking with moms around the area, it never occured to me that a child can be "too little" for an Easter basket. Some moms forgo the Easter Bunny basket until the child is older and can grasp the concept of the Easter traditions. Others simply go over the top with a basket, candy and presents.

So how young did you start your Easter traditions? How much did you spend? What kinds of things do you give for presents?

Newest Project!

Now that I have somewhat caught up to my stack of items to sew. I am embarking on something new and exciting.

I am making my 13 month old daughter her very own Easter dress! The pattern I am using is a Simplicity 2767- Project Runway inspired children's dress. The style on the right in the photo is what I plan on using.

I will be using this fabric. The blue is the primary fabric- a pastel blue. The sash in the middle of the dress will be the floral print. Tulle will be used underneath to make the dress poofy!

I can't explain how excited I am to start this! I will post photos of my little model in her dress when it is all complete!
