Okay, here is another in the apple wardrobe for back-to-school that I have finished. This is an apron style dress with elastic on the puffed sleeves this time. I love these sleeves because of the cute piping detail at the edge. And I smocked a nice plump apple on this Nashville Cotton plaid. It is called Nursery School plaid, which I think fits nicely for my preschooler.
I am thinking this might be my favorite one so far. I don't know if it is the cute red buttons down the back or the puffed sleeves and how they look so sweet on those chubby arms and dimpled elbows. I am also thinking this might be my last year for this style of dress for Sydney. Sniff-sniff! Why does my baby have to grow up? Okay, I digress....

On another front, Sydney and I are leaving for Vegas to visit my parents in a couple of days so I will be out for a week. I hope to get inspired and to finish up some smocking projects while gone. But I really am looking forward to zoning out and sleeping while someone else answers the thousand "why" questions that I have to answer on a daily basis.
