Not Sew Funny

I've told my bloggy friends many times about the Christmas skirt I'm making for Chloe. Well, I've been working on it a few minutes here and a few minutes there. And suddenly I realized, Christmas is in three days!!! Better get the skirt done. So I decided to head over to my mom's house so I could use her sewing machine (which I understand better than mine - so far), and so she could help me with Chloe. Have I told you we call my mom Saint Bonnie?

The sky looked amazing tonight! This is a view from my parent's back porch. Love it.

Chloe and Papa hung out while Mom and I tried to figure out the pattern.

(Chloe was having a bad hair day today. Her hair is a little out of control these days. It only grows in a mowhawk fashion and there's a slight curl to it. She had a hat on before this picture was taken, or I definitely would not have let her out of the house!)

They waited and waited and waited.....

Needless to say, I had an 'Ah-hah' moment while attempting to make this skirt. "Oh, so this is why people stopped sewing!" Let's just say it was a challenge. But I'm not one to shy away from a challenge, and with loads of help from Saint Bonnie, I was able to get a finished product that I'll be proud to show off on Christmas day!
