Valentines Day Traditions.....



This year for the twins birthday,
(which is also Valentine's Day)
Jennifer is planning a circus birthday party.

I have been busy making another
pettiskirt for Berkleigh.
(I made a purple one for her last year which she loves)

But this year it is going to be red
and they are always so much fun to make....

After the fabric is cut out into many little 2 inch stripes,
I always wonder if I really need 4 yards of fabric
for a three year olds "skirt"!!!


Here is a picture in progress...
And this isn't even all the pieces....



Well... I don't want to hold you in suspense....
.......the answer is yes!!!
Can you believe this little skirt used
4 yards of fabric???
(If you look closely you will notice it is standing up by itself!!)



And we don't want to leave Merrick out of the fun...
He is getting a bow tie for his special day...



Watch for further posts to see the twins in their outfits.
The party isn't until next Saturday...
but we are traveling to California tomorrow!!!
We are very excited to see them all again.

Hope You Have A Very Happy Valentine's Day
full of your own family traditions!!!

That is such a cute skirt. I loved Berkleigh's purple one, too. I don't know if I would have the patience, though!
