A skirt!

With more Anna inspiration, I found this simple skirt tutorial and made Eve a skirt! I am so excited and it was SO easy! Eve insisted I make one for doggie as well. Of course.

I started it yesterday afternoon while the kids worked on their embroidered pillow projects (more on those later) and bounced around. I did a bit more after they went to bed. I left it with the hem pinned up and the waistband elastic pinned together so I could try it on Eve this morning and make sure it fits. It did. This afternoon I finished the hem and closed up the waistband and voila! A cute skirt!

More piano hunting

Time is running out and we have many more pianos to find. Splash Camp has been taking up most of our time and energy these days! After camp on Wednesday I had haircut appointments scheduled for them, so we stopped by two pianos in the area as well.

Located in an artsy building, this piano is painted with chalkboard paint and available for decorating.

We all signed our names and left little notes.

This one is my favorite so far. It’s decorated in a “blues” theme, with lyrics and blues history and other decorations. The back (why didn’t I get a picture of that?!) is covered with white tiles decorated by lots of different people to show what “the blues” meant to them.

I like how they have a song written inside the cover. Clearly a lot of thought was put into it. It’s a very well done piano!
