A First and a Second

This sweet thing had her second birthday a few weeks ago. Emily (her mom) did an Art Party and it was a lot of fun for the kids.

Emily helped Ava finish her painting.

I gave her a dress for her birthday that I made. It was my first attempt at making a dress (or any clothing for that matter). I'm pretty proud of myself....I did the whole thing myself (except for the button holes which I had a friend do for me since I'm lame and can't figure out how to make my machine make a button hole). I asked Emily not to pay any attention to the construction as the underneath of the dress was a mess....but she understood. I'll have to work on that on my next one. :)

I have to say I'm proud of myself!
