5 What Lala Wore Wednesday (WKWW link-up)

Hi!

Eeesh... still warm over in our neck of the woods. It's good and bad.

GOOD: Lala still fits into her summer clothes.

BAD: We're not summer peeps.

But since it's Wednesday, I thought I'd share something I sewn earlier in the summer but never got around to sharing.

Fabric: Organic stretch knit from Spoonflower

Designer: Holli Zollinger

The shirt is a pattern from a Japanese pattern book, Simple Design Boys and Girls Clothes. You can get the book HERE.

The top was easy and quick. I particularly like the yoke detail. For the skirt, I just drew up a simple pattern. I loved this outfit so much I had to make another in orange (picture above). You can see these outfits got a lot of use. A bit faded, but the quality of the fabric itself is just awesome. Well worth the price.

Goodness... now if only fall would just get here so Lala can start wearing her new clothes...

I'm headin' over to ONE little Momma to link-up, I'll see you over there!

12 Pumpkin Hunt 2012

Another year in search for the perfect pumpkins to fill our ghoulish home. Halloween has got to be our favorite family holiday. The mystique is just hauntingly magical.

Every year about this time, we pile into our van and head out to our favorite haunt, Bates Nut Farm.

Sophie and Lily Moon... doe and bear.

Lala looked on with such disappointment and embarrassment... "I hope my friends don't see this", she thought.

"Aaaargh! I can't work with these people! I'm outta here!!!" She screamed.

With pumpkins in tote, it was our que to head on out and eat. Eat what you say?

APPLE PIE!!! My-oh-my!!!

 Brrr! Nice and chilly... a lovely change from the heat back home. Lala got good use of her new coat and hat. She was very much out of character that day... walking around, waving and shouting "HI!" at every stranger that crossed paths. Strange. Not that I'm complaining.

*sigh*

Pumpkins? CHECK.

Bellies full? CHECK.

Time to head back home!

Ahhh... hot homemade chicken soup to end another great pumpkin hunt. 

Get the recipe HERE. Your belly will thank you.

Until next year...
