Fourth of July Dress and Jell-O . . . Finally!

I know I'm like a week and a half late,
but with company in town and getting ready for YW Camp
there just hasn't been time to post about it.

So I stewed and stewed about what
to make Isabella for the Fourth of July.
And wouldn't you guess, that I didn't decide
on what to make until the day before?
Awesomeness :)

I finally settled on the Elsie Dress pattern from Sew Sweet Patterns.
I love that pattern shop!
They also made the pattern that I used for THIS SKIRT.
However, I wanted to have some fun ruffles.
So I used the inspirations from Smashed Peas and Carrots
and added a ruffle down the front.

And don't forget the shoes and ruffle socks!

I also used my Rainbow Jell-O recipe
to make this Patriotic Red, White & Blue Jell-O for our Fourth of July BBQ.

I'm linking up HERE!!!

Fourth of July: What are you wearing?

Or rather, what are your kids wearing?

Last year Isabella wore this ensemble.
Funky Fabric Flower Headband
Ruffled Flag Tee
Tutu
Tutu leggings

JT wore a fancy shirt :)

The year they wore these fantastic clothes.

This year I'm not sure what to do.
I'm loving these ideas via Pinterest.

We have some cute hair accessories from Little Penelope Lane,
but that's about it! Ahhh!

So inspire me!
Tell me what to make:)
Better yet, make me something cute. LOL
