Easter Dress

Apart from the hem, the Easter Extravaganza is complete!  I’m not terribly happy with the way the sleeves turned out, but overall, it’s a fairly good attempt, methinks.  If I lived in California, I would have bugged my cousin Jessica to help me with this project….I’m not sure what I could have done to make it better, but all I know is she does it way better than I. 

Speaking of my cousin, you should go check out her blog, it’s fabulous!  She’s insanely crafty – in a way I’ll never be!

The lighting is really quite bad in this pic – I’ll replace it tomorrow when there is sun out.  The crazy orange thing is a headband I made….

The button in the middle of the mum says “Cute as a Button”.  The headband was super-easy to make, and I think I’m going to make more, since the headbands came in a package of five, and honestly, I’m never going to use them for anything else!

I was running out of steam at this point, but I managed to line a basket, and hot glue (yes, HOT GLUE) some of the same headband flowers to the sides of the basket.  It needs something more – but I think I may need to sleep on it.
