Many of you have heard I am making a princess costume for I'mani. Her 24 inch doll is getting one too because I needed to practice the embroideries on the same fabric before embroidering on her costume. I added a repeat on her costume to cover the full front. I t hink her costume will have a maderia applique hem, but that is to be determined with me working so much overtime.

I have both side by side, then the doll front skirt, then two of I'mani"s front skirt. The embroideries are from the Martha Pullen Embroidery Club.

Here's my new do. Lost 18 inches of hair that I donated to Locks of Love. I think I lost 10 pounds of hair, my head feels so light!

Here is my Fairy Name: Saturnfilter - She is a trouble maker. She lives in high places where the clouds meet the earth. She is only seen on midsummer's eve. She wears pale blue like the sky. She has delicate pale pink wings like a cicada.

I'mani is now 18 months old. Here are some pics from my three week babysitting trip. It was soooooo much fun! We bonded and now she really remembers and wants to talk to Grandma on the phone. Chatters a mile a minute! The pic are at the park, Baltimore harbor, at the park (I LOVE to swing), at mommy and me gym, and my first Dairy Queen blizzard (yum).

I'mani and Tammy went home yesterday. I miss them so much already. The house is so quiet. The cats are happy to have their house back. They were out of sorts. It was wonderful to spend time with both girls and I'mani. I hope to see them again this summer.
