pinterest skirt

hi there, thought i'd share a simple project i completed this week. i'm mostly proud of it because i got the inspiration on pinterest and then actually did it. i feel like its important to document these kinds of occurrences to convince myself that pinterest really is helpful and not just a time-wasting dream world! ha.ha.
anywhoo, here's my version of this cute little skirt, made especially for a sweet little friend in Virginia.

 And here was the inspiration. i just loved the letter color combination on a simple brown skirt made from an old knit t-shirt. Here's the link to the original: http://www.simplesimonandco.com/2012/02/all-you-need-is-love-skirt.html

And for a little random...here are the girls fetching mail several days ago. 
madeline's faces and toe positions just make me laugh. sophie would never dream of pointing her little toe like that.


these girls couldn't be more different from each other but they still love each other...which is wonderful.
funny story that describes the girls' personalities in a weird way:
last night madeline wanted to wiggle will's loose tooth so she put her hand up to his face to try to feel it. will pushed her hand away but as he did he said, "ick! your hand smells! it smells like strawberry shortcake or something!" Then sophie wanted her hand smelled, so she stuck her hand in will's face and asked him what it smelled like. reluctantly he smelled and then said, "i don't know, i guess dirt." both girls were quite satisfied with his pronouncements.

How could this skirt be any more adorable? You are amazing, Sister. And love the pictures of the girlies, and the account of the smelling of hands - perfect.

Love it!! That sweet little girl in Virginia was SO thrilled to receive a present in the mail and even more thrilled that it was an adorable skirt! When her daddy came home, she proudly modeled it and told him who it was from. He was confused and said, "Meagan who?" (we know a Meagan here as well) C replied, "My friend in Colorado!" Love it, Meagan (and O's bib, too). Thank you so much for thinking of her.
