I started and finished this skirt last evening. It took about 45 minutes to put together. All it is is a rectangle with an elastic waist. I cut it out so the width was 90 inches and made it how long I wanted it (I actually got the width measurement from THIS site)! I think it came out to be around 40 inches long. It is so full, long, and beautiful I LOVE it!!!
Mom had made two just like it (but smaller) for my little sister. So I decided to make one for myself. I also had enough fabric left over for a matching skirt for Sophia! AND with scraps I made one for her 18 inch doll, so we now have 3 matching skirts.
I couldn't get the color to come out right in this picture. It's the
green in the picture above. But these are the little flowers. They are about 1/2 inch big from stem to petals.

Left, Right, Left, Right
The left, right, left, right, movement of spinning is so relaxing. It's a lot like riding a bike =) Here is a picture of my latest spinnings.
I'm working on filling another bobbin then I can ply them together. Not
sure what I'm going to knit with this yarn...... Maybe mittens! Or
socks! Or a hat! Or slippers! Or ......... there are so many
possibilities! What do you think I should make?

New Skirt
I found the BEST pattern online for a tiered skirt. I found it here. You enter in your hip measurement and it tells you how long and wide to make your fabric strips!
And here is the finished project.
And here is the finished project.
It's a small print black skirt. It goes very well with a grey sweater that I have and a black plaid shirt that I have.

Oh So Cute
I have the cutest French Angora rabbit that ever lived!! Maybe I'm a bit bias..... Naw..... Never!
I had him in the house so the children could play with him and I caught this VERY cute picture:

Doesn't it look like he's praying? I have a very religious rabbit.
And he so cute with his "broken" ear. His ear flops, It's just the way God made him. It's funny because as I was look at "wool" rabbits..... I had wanted to get a Lopped ear rabbit but decided that they weren't the breed for me. But God gave me what I wanted! Isn't He an AWESOME God?!?!?!?!?!
