FINALLY! I have finished a second Christmas project (not counting the “zillion” things I have made as gifts). One more to go – hopefully tomorrow night.. and only after I finish the last 2 Christmas gifts. That means I will have finished everything a whole 5 days before Christmas! Amazing (insert rolling of eyes here)!

Moving on… I was able to finishing this shirt the night before my daughter went to school for her last day before Christmas – whew!

We had a little help with our photo shoot.

The shirt is loosely based on this tutorial. But as you can see it is basically totally different! I bought a size 6 shirt and a size 16 shirt in the same red and used the bottom of the larger shirt to make the ruffled skirt. Thankfully it is the perfect length to wear with a pair of leggings. The tree is made from one of my old green knit shirts – so it didn’t need hemming – hooray! The small bows on the tree help to hold the ruffles in place and add a touch of the “necessary pink” to her shirt.

Only six more sleeps ’till Christmas! I’ve got a cookie recipe that I’m going to share on Saturday – so come back for a visit! It’s a great (delicious!) kid-friendly project for the weekend before Christmas.
