</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-r4gkyx6fsRc/Tax_bWCzx-I/AAAAAAAAHe8/vVMFx0RS-SM/s1600/birthday1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-r4gkyx6fsRc/Tax_bWCzx-I/AAAAAAAAHe8/vVMFx0RS-SM/s400/birthday1.jpg" width="298" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So, we all traipsed up to the big town to do a little celebrating!</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"> First we went here:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4897ooSzfTc/Tax_wSooBSI/AAAAAAAAHfA/xqjNyfIiyLI/s1600/birthday2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4897ooSzfTc/Tax_wSooBSI/AAAAAAAAHfA/xqjNyfIiyLI/s400/birthday2.jpg" width="298" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Then we went here:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZVXtU5j_KRc/Tax_2QLjjuI/AAAAAAAAHfE/ugNvLCqcWFA/s1600/birthday3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZVXtU5j_KRc/Tax_2QLjjuI/AAAAAAAAHfE/ugNvLCqcWFA/s400/birthday3.jpg" width="298" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But our shopping was interrupted when the fire alarm went off!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oIHsuXMi7tc/TayADW-hT-I/AAAAAAAAHfI/-WAVIXe9TYs/s1600/birthday4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oIHsuXMi7tc/TayADW-hT-I/AAAAAAAAHfI/-WAVIXe9TYs/s400/birthday4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So we decided to find something for lunch.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Hmmm, this looks good:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AdO060HMdkw/TayARtqyIHI/AAAAAAAAHfM/FqUtL9ytJjg/s1600/birthday5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AdO060HMdkw/TayARtqyIHI/AAAAAAAAHfM/FqUtL9ytJjg/s400/birthday5.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">They were quite busy so we took a moment to relax and chat.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hUVGfGWvLUM/TayAfGTzgVI/AAAAAAAAHfQ/HBvRXTJUdHA/s1600/birthday6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hUVGfGWvLUM/TayAfGTzgVI/AAAAAAAAHfQ/HBvRXTJUdHA/s400/birthday6.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">After lunch we went 'round the corner and indulged ourselves with frozen yogurt!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uiYH_zThKh0/TayA0BNZ80I/AAAAAAAAHfU/cCWkLd2L0Pw/s1600/birthday7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uiYH_zThKh0/TayA0BNZ80I/AAAAAAAAHfU/cCWkLd2L0Pw/s400/birthday7.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">(Hey look! I finally made it into a picture!)</div><div style="text-align: center;">What was our next stop you ask? How about the movie theater!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DNedmFksjQU/TayBLbTyV7I/AAAAAAAAHfY/XiUlJT9cV90/s1600/birthday8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DNedmFksjQU/TayBLbTyV7I/AAAAAAAAHfY/XiUlJT9cV90/s400/birthday8.jpg" width="298" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">While we were there this was going on outside:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Wdj8MbwY11c/TayBV4xNCNI/AAAAAAAAHfc/MUI7Uqithvk/s1600/birthday9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Wdj8MbwY11c/TayBV4xNCNI/AAAAAAAAHfc/MUI7Uqithvk/s400/birthday9.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Yes, that would be torrential rain, hail, and the possibility of a tornado!</div><div style="text-align: center;">And when the movie finished:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rGzoSNgGcQs/TayBnb61-bI/AAAAAAAAHfg/YKscRGqVPEc/s1600/birthday10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rGzoSNgGcQs/TayBnb61-bI/AAAAAAAAHfg/YKscRGqVPEc/s400/birthday10.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Glorious sunshine!</div><div style="text-align: center;">You: "Hey wait! What movie did you see?"</div><div style="text-align: center;">Me: "Oh, nothin'. Just this:"</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n326ktryyrc/TayCA5M_LXI/AAAAAAAAHfk/lPJglX7t0Xg/s1600/birthday11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n326ktryyrc/TayCA5M_LXI/AAAAAAAAHfk/lPJglX7t0Xg/s400/birthday11.jpg" width="298" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We then headed out for more shopping!</div><div style="text-align: center;">We tried on shoes at TJ Maxx:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-s0UWVvP6GVM/TayCgyMlo3I/AAAAAAAAHfo/ByH6fg4gqe8/s1600/birthday12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-s0UWVvP6GVM/TayCgyMlo3I/AAAAAAAAHfo/ByH6fg4gqe8/s400/birthday12.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Yes, they were <i>very</i> uncomfortable!</div><div style="text-align: center;">And tried on softball gear at Ollie's:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-od4PAuzFSYc/TayCxtBdH4I/AAAAAAAAHfs/iiJ8AK17ozI/s1600/birthday14.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-od4PAuzFSYc/TayCxtBdH4I/AAAAAAAAHfs/iiJ8AK17ozI/s400/birthday14.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">By this time we were hungry again!</div><div style="text-align: center;">So we went here: </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xBwvN-7OAqQ/TayDFA8vZsI/AAAAAAAAHfw/EMMapccx22M/s1600/birthday15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xBwvN-7OAqQ/TayDFA8vZsI/AAAAAAAAHfw/EMMapccx22M/s400/birthday15.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And got, well, this and that:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qV_kxipW2ZA/TayDRXTRFfI/AAAAAAAAHf0/Bt_K_wSKSek/s1600/birthday16.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qV_kxipW2ZA/TayDRXTRFfI/AAAAAAAAHf0/Bt_K_wSKSek/s400/birthday16.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And to round out the day, a visit to Gap:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z2enWs6I4m4/TayDgqRBRRI/AAAAAAAAHf4/UPLZQ4OryeM/s1600/birthday17.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z2enWs6I4m4/TayDgqRBRRI/AAAAAAAAHf4/UPLZQ4OryeM/s400/birthday17.jpg" width="298" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Ah, tired but happy:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-f9mEUh6E_eM/TayD2KPWA-I/AAAAAAAAHf8/rU4Xz2qRgHw/s1600/birthday18.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-f9mEUh6E_eM/TayD2KPWA-I/AAAAAAAAHf8/rU4Xz2qRgHw/s400/birthday18.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Happy we had fun,</div><div style="text-align: center;">Happy we had sweet fellowship,</div><div style="text-align: center;">Happy we had a birthday to celebrate,</div><div style="text-align: center;">Happy we were able to spend time with a friend from far away,</div><div style="text-align: center;">and Happy we were kept safe by Him from all the nastiness of the weather!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Unfortunately my plans for participating were interrupted by the temporary loss of my camera. I now have it back though and can at least get a couple of posts in which makes me very happy!<br />
<br />
I didn't have the time or the funds to make myself a Nancy inspired vintage outfit so instead I made one for someone else...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-S_kSRvu0MWI/TZ0JeNQzoNI/AAAAAAAAHd8/OPdUswZMX4g/s1600/%2524%2528KGrHqEOKjkE1rVLqDqtBNgRcSpykw%257E%257E0_3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-S_kSRvu0MWI/TZ0JeNQzoNI/AAAAAAAAHd8/OPdUswZMX4g/s320/%2524%2528KGrHqEOKjkE1rVLqDqtBNgRcSpykw%257E%257E0_3.JPG" width="193" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-F3no25QHqvE/TZ0JhByxoII/AAAAAAAAHeA/Bx-X7iuxoNU/s1600/nancydoll1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-F3no25QHqvE/TZ0JhByxoII/AAAAAAAAHeA/Bx-X7iuxoNU/s320/nancydoll1.jpg" width="239" /></a></div><br />
Inspired by the first Nancy Drew book, <i>The Secret of the Old Clock</i>, (which someone returned to the library, oh well) and this lovely vintage suit pattern I made a new outfit for my dolly Paige.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ikn9GXbMQgc/TZ0KGnP8taI/AAAAAAAAHeE/5dz_f6eCbzE/s1600/nancydoll3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ikn9GXbMQgc/TZ0KGnP8taI/AAAAAAAAHeE/5dz_f6eCbzE/s320/nancydoll3.jpg" width="239" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qnqEXOVHb0s/TZ0KHX2Nx8I/AAAAAAAAHeI/AJNxykfppsU/s1600/nancydoll4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qnqEXOVHb0s/TZ0KHX2Nx8I/AAAAAAAAHeI/AJNxykfppsU/s320/nancydoll4.jpg" width="239" /></a></div><br />
I used muslin for the little blouse and a linen/cotton blend from Jo-Ann's for the skirt and jacket. I used patterns from the book <i>The Doll's Dressmaker </i>by Venus A. Dodge for the blouse and jacket though I altered them quite a bit. I did not use a pattern for the skirt.<br />
<br />

I am at the end of another busy Monday. This morning was filled with things like walking about the house with either a broom or a mop in hand and helping the little girls with their school work. This afternoon I taught two sewing lessons. M is beginning an American Colonial outfit for herself, she has great seamstress aspirations and I am very proud of what she has accomplished so far! J is making an adorable dress for her sister, she has advanced so much in the short time we have been working together! I feel so blessed to have been given the opportunity to instruct such sweet young ladies! And today students so very kindly put up with my rather lethargic mood due to the Benadryl I've been taking. Yes, Spring is most definitely here to stay!<br />
