Liberty Jane Lavender Mint Tank

Sorry about not posting like I said I would yesterday. Sunny had to go to the mall to get a dress for her cousin's wedding so I decided I would wait 'til today. :)

Like I said a week ago, Sunny was going to try her hand at sewing. Unfortunately, her sewing machine (which is slightly old...) was broken so she had to sew the tank top by hand. Since this is basically her first time sewing I think I should cut her some slack but, I still have to say it's pretty pitiful.

She started out her shirt with a nice lavender fabric that she bought at Joanne's last summer for a project. I think this color looks really nice on Madi.

The pattern calls for more of a ribbed material but this worked out just fine.

After Sunny sewed the shirt, she added mint green ribbon to the shoulder parts of it. I really like the purple and green paired; I think it's a very pretty combination!

Since we had left over ribbon, we decided to tie the mint ribbon in Madi's hair for the photoshoot. All in all, Sunny is very proud of her shirt. You have to start somewhere, right? :)

The Surprise... Revealed

By now I'm pretty sure all of you have a good idea of where I'm going....

American Girl Boutique and Bistro Atlanta!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so, SO, SO, SO excited I am practically bouncing out of my seat right now. Basically on the Friday before Spring Break Sunny's getting picked up from school early and she and her family are going to drive all night long. Her dad says it takes around 13 hours to get from where we are to Atlanta so we are guessing we'll get at the AG B&B at 11 o'clock (because we're going to stay at a hotel for a few hours to get some rest). We're going to have lunch there and shop for a while. Then once we have taken lots of pictures and had our lunch we are going to hit the road yet again and stay at a cabin in Tennessee. It's going to be awesome!

Oh, yes, I nearly forgot! Also tagging along will be Madison, Marigold's doll. Madison and I always seem to go on trips together. :)

So that's the surprise! Only a month (more or less) to go and then Sunny, Marigold, Madison, and I are American Girl-bound!
