Easter Sunday.....Projects

This is where it all started.....at 8 pm last Saturday night.
I had wanted to make the girls skirts for Easter. I finally had all the material and stuff to do it so I started late Saturday. I used the same circle skirt pattern as the poodle skirt that I did for Kirsten in February. Like I said, I started at 8 pm and I finished at 8:30am the next morning. I literally didn't leave that room except for going to the bathroom and for trying on Kirsten's skirt once, (which she doesn't remember doing.)
I love how they turned out! Although I was so tired come Sunday afternoon. More like goofy tired. It's amazing how you can't function without any sleep.
....Katanya....
....Cruz....
(he got a new shirt and tie to go with his suit)
....Kirsten....
....McKay....
I have material to make me one but I couldn't do it in time. I had to be at church at 9:15 am for choir practice. I don't sing but McKay and Kirsten do. I do the fun job of pushing the pistons and "instrument buttons" on the organ and turning pages for the organ or piano. : )
The kids didn't want to take a lot of pictures and at this point and I didn't really care. We had a great Easter!
****I can't forget the fun part, dying the elastic. My hands don't look as bad in this picture as they did on Sunday morning. They were a darker shade of purple. It looked as if I was freezing. Because I had bought 10 yards of 2" and 3" elastic, Jacob got a little carried away, and he bought 100 yards online for the next project. I still don't know why I do this to myself and allow me such a short deadline.
