I really wanted to take some cute pictures of my kids for a Christmas card this year but this is the progression of the photo shoot.

And # 7...I should have just used this last one. Oh well. Maybe next year.

This is Ella in her new coat. It is made from an Oliver and S pattern. I used a pre-quilted fabric on the outside and a minky soft fabric on the inside. The inside is made out of the stuff that Ella loves on her special blanket. Needles to say she loves the coat... can you tell.

I off set the buttons...love how it turned out.


This is a jumper I made her today. The best part for me is that I drafted the pattern myself. It looks so cute on her. I just couldn't get a good shot, she is to fast for the camera.

This is the back. I plan on making a ruffley slip skirt to go under it since the back flies open when she is running by.
