For Bug's birthday last year, she got spoiled with McKenna, the American Girl Doll of the Year. She has been a wonderful addition to our family, as Olivia needed a big sister. My girls spend hours every day playing with their dolls so it has been a good purchase! She loves to pick out outfits then have me help set up photo shoots for her dolls, much inspired by Super Inky and Pleasant Piper. Love that silly girl of mine!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have been working hard on McKenna's Spring wardrobe these past few weeks. Bug has informed me that Pink is the best color to wear in the spring... and she has kept true to that trend as she has designed clothes for me to make. </div>

I used a Liberty Jane pattern for the pants, the fabric is from a pair of thrift store jeans. It has a bit of shimmer which is perfect for a 6 year old. Everything's better with a little shimmer. I mixed a couple patterns together for the top, and it could have been a bit more successful, but I'll take what I can get sometimes. Bug is happy, so I am happy.

Every couple days (yes, DAYS!) Bug comes to me and requests that I make one of her American Girl dolls a gift for the doll's birthday. Sometimes I have time, others... it's a doll for crying out loud. However, recently I had time so I went for it. This one turned out pretty cute. She is loving designing them herself & she's getting pretty darn good! </div>

Doll clothes seems to be the bulk of the sewing that I do lately, you might just be seeing more soon!</div>

It is super easy sewing but seemed to take me FOREVER! I have to admit, gathering is not something I excel at!<br />

Moo came down with it about a week ago, and she is just now beginning to feel a little better. Both girls are off oxygen during the day, and only Bug needs it at night. Mr has been fine in that regard, but he coughs so hard he pukes. So keeping him hydrated has been a chore! All three still spike fevers now and then so I have to be on top of that all day and night too. Ugh. <br />

I need to do it more often! Then I know they are eating healthier than cup 'o noodles, lol. <br />
This lunch is peanut butter & honey, a granola bar, fiber veggie wheat thins, raisins & chocolate covered pretzels. At the last minute she wanted fruit leather, so i used mini cookie cutters on top of the lunch punch ice cream cutters. <br />
The girls both got Everest lunch boxes for Christmas and I have to say I really love the design!<br />

I went with simple today and made a black twirly skirt with another LBB pattern. I love the exposed white serged seams, and had imagined it with an orange halloween shirt. However, my 3 year old took over the styling for the shoot and we ended up with a favorite too-short shirt instead.<br />

Moo loves dresses, so we went with the Sienna dress pattern again. We made a special trip to the thrift store together and she picked what shirts she wanted to make into a dress. I love the creativity that sewing allows me & my girls! It really is art! <br />
