Look, something to blog about!

This week Grandma Glasscock (or Daddy's Mommy's Mommy as Ellie says) sold her house and is moving to Texas. In fact, Marianne and Adam are driving with her and Frank right now. Here's a picture of Ellie with Kenzie and Zoey at the farewell party Marianne had:


And a picture of the girls with Grandma and Grandpa Orton (Ellie's daddy's daddy):

and here was my project of the week--matching twirly skirts:



Ellie twirls
An arabesque
And the finale--is that hair on Moira's head?

I used an online pattern that I found here. Aren't they fun? It would have been a lot easier if I hadn't added the tulle overlay, but that ended up as my favorite part, so I'm glad I ripped out the seams a few times until I got the finished product.

Finally, I got a good laugh from this "news article". I especially like the "had to practice the piano for like 20 hours a day" part. Like Mom always said I would, now that I'm all grown up I wish you'd made me keep practicing!!
