It’s been a little warm here lately so we busted out the fan. When I was little I used to like talking into the fan. It has that echoy sound sort of like a microphone. Well Isabelle discovered that too. So, she’s been singing to us. Video below (and you can see my baby bump for a second):

Fans are fun on Flickr

She’ll sing and bow while we clap. And one day she even made us dance together. We never dance because as Alan says, “I DO NOT dance.” Well he’ll dance for Isabelle.

The other night Isabelle was playing with her Maggie doll. She was dragging her all over the house pretending it was her little sister. Well Maggie’s hair is sort of loopy so it catches on things. It pulls loose from her head into a big loop and dangles.

So I had to fix it. But it’s been so long since I’ve sewn anything that I had the hardest time finding my needles! How pathetic is that? My sewing table is a mess with left over bits from my last project sitting there. Piled on top of that is newer fabric I’ve pulled out meaning to make Isabelle some skirts. But I haven’t been up to it.

I was digging through that horrendous mess (that’s been sitting there since January and is just getting bigger) and came across the blue fabric from my last project. And then I realized I never shared the pictures (actually, there are a couple of projects I never got around to writing about). So here are some oh so not fresh photos from MANY months ago:

Isabelle loves it. In fact, seeing these pictures she’s demanding that I find it right now so she can wear it.

I really like the contrasting detail on the dress.

I was planning on making a miniature version for the Isabelle doll. That never happened. Poor naked Isabelle doll.

Maybe when I’m up to it I’ll make Isabelle doll a little blue dress with red pants and pink boots to match Isabelle’s outfit here:

How cute would that be? And I think Isabelle chose this outfit herself. Or Alan did.

Oh when, oh when will I sew again?
