Only a sunbeam but such a big girl at heart!
The dress and kitty we brought back from North Carolina.

Tutu and pettiskirt!

and mama chose the pettiskirt}

This is Siomara, 5 years old, Keira's new best friend!

And this is her sister, Sam, 15, helping me out
with paper-cutting for primary.
Thanks, Sam!

though it seems like we've been soul sisters forever}
Shiloh: I loved Keira in her used dress from Aleah. I loved the crochet flowers and the Big Green Bow. I started this earlier and then it disappeared so I hope you don't get it twice.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the difference between the Tutu and the Pettiskirt? Is one all the same length (the purple) and the Pettiskirt layers that were orange and pink? They were both beautiful and Keira is lucky to have them both.
Siomara was beautiful and Keira is lucky to have nice little girl to play with. Does Siomara come every day? Sam looks like a cool kid! It is interesting that Rufina is like a soul mate. In what ways are you alike?
It was wonderful seeing Sean, Gaby and kids. That little Lance is a bundle of energy. I would be tired after watching him all day. He and Keira would have a ball together.
Love Joy
Well, the tutu has a satin waistband and is made with layers of tulle fabric. The pettiskirt is satin on the top third and waist band, and is made with layers of chiffon, in this case pink, and ruffled with orange chiffon as the trim at the bottom. It is much longer, heavier, and way more voluminous than the tutu. But each serve their purpose and are loads of fun!:-) We were watching Siomara most of the week while Sam was in summer school for a few weeks, but she has started kindergarten now, so I suspect we won't be seeing her as often. Keira is a bit bummed and wants to go to school now. LOL. It's not so much that Rufina and I are alike, it's more that it feels like we've known each other forever, that we feel like old friends rather than new friends. That's great you had a great time visiting with Sean, Gaby and the kids! Family is so fun! It's great they got to visit! Keira probably would have a blast with Lance, and Naty, too!:-)
