Why do my kids' birthdays make me feel old?
Lorelei turns the ripe old age of 8 tomorrow. She is very excited and has been bugging me to make her a white dress for her birthday. Uh, no. But I did make her a white, black, and yellow dress since I already had the fabric. It was going to be a skirt for me but I suppose mommy has to make sacrifices sometimes. I pulled the fabric from my stash, bought a bit of yellow tulle, and went to work this afternoon. This dress took all of 90 minutes to cut and sew (thanks, in part, to using an old t-shirt).

Pretty dress. I'm sure she'll love it as much as the white one she wanted. And oh, by the way, that's a good place to say 'no'!
What a pretty dress you made for her. Happy Birthday to her!!!
I love it! That fabric is beautiful!!
What a darling dress. Wishing your girl a Happy Birthday!
If turning 8 makes you feel old wait until she turns 37 like my daughter did on the 23rd!! I can't believe it - of course I had her when I was 20 but still I can't believe I am getting that old to have a 37 year old daughter.
