  • Welcome to my blog!

    Hi! I'm Traci. I'm a Registered Nurse who loves quilting, knitting, cross stitch, and the great outdoors. In my pre-scrubs life, I owned Real Photography, and you can still see my old wedding and portrait photography site here .

    I've created a map that shows links to our camping/hiking/general family fun review posts that you can find here. It's pretty much the coolest thing on this site. Thanks, Google!

    I great big puffy heart *love* comments, so please let me know you visited! I try to always reply!

children at play twirly skirt

I have loved the green floral print from Children at Play since I first saw a little thumbnail of it!  While Ellie will get plenty of Children at Play dresses, I knew this print was for me.  🙂

I used my twirly skirt tutorial for this one (thought it was so windy today that it looks a little different than normal in the picture, it’s the same skirt–I swear!)

I wore it to a BBQ tonight and was very happy to get a chance to wear it before it likely hits the back of my closet until next spring!  Fall is coming!!

Adrianne (Little Bluebell) - Super cute!!!! I love that print too. It looks great as a skirt.

Vanilla - What a lovely skirt!!!! Love the way the fabric falls so supply!!!
I posted your tutorial in my Great Tutorials page!
Thanks for sharing.
