How Posh....

When i was pregnant with Taylor i used to scour the internet for beautiful baby clothes (of course nothing i could afford) Brandon was always working late and i would stay up on my computer just surfing the net.... so of course i had like a huge "Want List" of pretty things for my little girl... but i had to be realistic because i am 26 and its not like i am rich... so what is a mom to do... well find things almost as similar to what i want but more affordable!!! There is this designer, her name is Kaiya Eve and she is the designer who make the "original" pettiskirt... well there was this adorable purple flower pettiskirt onsale for $50.00 (they usually go for $80)... i could not comprehend spending $50.00 on a pretty dress that she will be able to wear for a month or two, trust me i went over in my head about why i needed this outfit for Taylor... then i thought... ummm... no i think i need to go buy 5 boxes of diapers!!! This is a photo of the dress i wanted to get her....



Well... this was a project that i worked on for Taylor... it took me about 2 days to finish it because i had no idea what the heck i was doing... but now that i have everything together i could probably make one in 2 hours....maybe..... hahaha... I just love that instead of buying that $50 outfit, i got to make this beautiful pettiskirt from a couple yards of chiffon. Hopefully it will mean something to her one day... also getting to play dress up was fun too!!! i think Taylor knows what the camera is... because when i bring it out, she smiles (i don't have to make goofy noises anymore!)

For some reason when i edited this photo her eyes turned blue, i promise i did not make them blue (they are still beautiful!)... We have no idea what color her eyes are some days they look blue with brown and some days green with brown, they are really pretty though!





I made her a headband and shoes to match her Petti-Skirt... and Ms. Pat (Taylor's Mam-maw) if you notice those are the Pearls you got me two christmas ago!!! They are beautiful!!







these two photos remind me of something that would be on a movie because it has the little "wide screen" boarder to it!





It was beautiful today... 75... and just georgous... out of the 12 months here in Wisconsin this is the weather i look foward to!! we decided to go outside and try to take some photos, the previous owners of this house planted a bunch of tulip bulbs that come out every spring... and they are just blooming!!! (of course i wish i could take credit for the beautiful flowers that are growing all over the house, but i can't handle plants... which reminds me... i need to water a plant, if its still alive... yikes!) We got outside and took maybe 3 photos and these giant wasps came around us, i grabbed Taylor and we ran inside... today was the first day that i noticed the scary bugs are out now.... yuck... this is the only outside photo i got of her..


She is a little flirt when it comes to looking at a mirror!





This was the last photo, Taylor was like get me outta this dress and lets go watch Baby Einstein already!!!!!!
