all cut out and ready to be sewn. shouldnt take me too long... as long as i dont hit any hiccups, ill have it done this weekend.

Oh my goodness!! i'm so excited!

i sent you a preview through etsy. since then i have attached the collar. im going to probably finish it today.

I saw the preview last night and showed hubby before he had to go back tow rok.

here is the next preview:

yeah pretty sure she's going to love it.

great! im glad. i had a lot of fun making that one. i hope it fits alright. there was a lot of guesswork involved.

i'll find out when it gets here. xD I still have to figure out her birthday party now though. Been to focused on the move we're doing. besides ordering the dress from you. I haven't done anything for her actual party.

well ti will all be good. if you wanted to make it themed.... you could buy black fuzzy balls and hot glue googlie eyes on it... for the soot guys! and make leaf cookies!

i figured i could also draw a totoro on some newsprint paper and hang it on the wall and play stick the dots on his belly. xD

or googly eyes soot ball cupcakes.

oh thats a great idea! you should do that!

yeah. except i have no idea if anyone is even going to show up. . . :/

oh... i dont know what to do about that. lol.

yup. that's my problem. xD

maybe make it rsvp? but i guess you cant with kids.... i dont know... kids are weird. lol

Well.. i just found out that hubby found an apartment that may be possible to move into by the first. and since memorial day weekend all are friends are out of town. i'll send out some texts. and make some cupcakes just incase people can stop by for a couple minutes.

nice! good luck with the move!

well shoto muffins. its not available... we're third in line. and its one apartment >.>

poop. well keep your head up and going forward! you can do this shadami!

p.s did you get the dress yet?

Oh my god. i can't believe I didn't tell you. yes we got it. It's sitting on the kitchen counter. We're waiting to give it to her on Friday. SHe has noooo idea. It's still in the wrapping. It looks super cute though and seemed about the right size when i held it up to myself (cause i know where she comes up on me. xD)

just gave you a five star :P so sorry i'm behind on things right now.

oh my gosh! thank you soo much!!!! i am so happy its going to fit! you have to tell me if she loves it. i know kids can be here and there with things.... i hope she recognizes it and loves it.

im so happy we did this! and im glad i could bring at least a little sunshine to you... even though really its one more thing to be moved... lol.

She loved it, i let her wear it to school for her birthday. She keeps sliding out of the straps though. I might have to figure out how to do something about that myself. not that.. i'm not that great at it. . . ^^;;;;

really. i don't know how she keeps doing it though *facepalms* i'll look away and suddenly both straps, front and back, will be in the front. like.. how Mary. how?!

i dont know how to fix that... that seems strange... but i mean... whatever right? eventually as she grows she wont be able to any more.

she's tall and skinny. she might outgrow it in height before it fits her with the straps. she loves it regardless though. xD

Lily is a bit more chubby though. So when she hits that size it'll probably fit her great. xD

lol! awesome! im glad it will see use.
