sweet batiste

I made another spring ruffle top for Emily. It's made from cotton batiste and the trim is Making Memories scrap booking ribbon.
I added the little bow just to see if I like it. I felt it might need something. It's only safety pinned so I can take it off.

Because batiste is so light an flowy, I should have gathered the front and back instead of pleated. It looks like it's tight but it's just the way she's sitting.


Jenny had a giveaway on her blog and I won! To be in the drawing you had to leave a name suggestion for two pieces of her jewelry from her etsy store, Pearlswirl. One was a really really pretty bracelet and I suggested it be named "Coal Miners Daughter". Well, she did a random number thingy and I won! I got to pick any earrings from her store and I chose these below.
Another video of Ava from the other night. This time she is playing "peek-boo".
