Blog hopping...

Miss Danica in her new shirt-dress.

So I was blog hopping a couple days ago, admiring the amazing creative skills of Ms. Amy W.(really she's amazing!) and ended up on THIS site. It "claimed" to be easy and only take 2-3 hours so I thought I'd give it a try.  Ever so often I feel some desire to be crafty but my skills don't always ah...match up...to the projects I find.  Well 297 hours later I was done! Yay!!!  
She recommended using an adult men's XL dress shirt for the project but it was for 2-3 year olds.  We lucked out and found a "Tall" shirt and luckily Danica liked it.  She insisted on trying it on in the store though I kept telling her I was going to alter it before it would be her dress.  =) 

She kept trying to get me to get shirts in this fabric.... or one similar...it looked super bright and Christmas-y.  It must have had green on it too.

It's not what I would have guessed she wanted!

I wonder if I can find any other simple projects to try.  Danica wants a butterfly on her dress so I might try my hand at applique.   I think I like it as-is though. Or I'm afraid to mess it up!  It shan't be difficult to convince her to play with a shirt instead.
