Painted Easter Skirt

Last week E wanted to paint...she'd told her swim instructor that 'Mama never lets me paint.' The day before she'd asked and being busy I'd said no. That I guess means never in 5yo drama-ville! I don't know why we decided on fabric...but we decided to paint her a skirt. We grabbed an old sponge to cut up for simple stamps and an old sheet I'd thrifted for muslin and got to work...mixing paints, cutting stamps and all that. She's responsible for most of the eggs and the carrots and tops...I did the tulips and stems and a few of the eggs. We had a good time- I meant to post this a week ago but we've all been sick here... :(

Process pics:





All sewn up! :) Here's a few close-ups first:










Happy Easter all! Hope we can shake the sickies before Sunday...it's getting old!

E's Haircut






Mom's been begging me for pics as we've been sick for the past going-on-2-wks here and haven't been to the farm since :)
