Tacy had a birthday

I just typed this whole post about Tacy’s birthday and then Firefox barfed and now I am back to zero. Stupid computers. Now it’ll just be the condensed version.

Here is the dress I made Tacy. We had a balloon theme, so I embroidered that red balloon on this otherwise very simple dress. The fabric is a cotton/linen blend from Sew, Mama, Sew, and I love it. I made myself a skirt from it too and I’m planning a couple of other projects as well as the purchase of some more. Maybe in other colors as well.

My dad made her this incredible balance beam, and my mom helped finish it. T has been asking for a balance beam for months, and she was very pleased. I had sent my dad a link to this which is about $300 I think. He came up with his version which is better because it is pink. I just realized that for some reason I only uploaded about half of the birthday photos to smug mug, so I’ll post a picture of it later.

Family came to visit, there were balloon animals by Amelia, gelato by Libby, grilled veggies by Jeremy, my dad picked up a bunch of meat, barbecued down the street at the Smoke House, and we had cupcakes by Sparkle.
