Reversible Flirty Skirt

Well thanks again to Anna Maria Horner for her beautiful fabrics and now her free Flirt Skirt Tutorial.  I've made one already and have decided that this will be a spring/summer staple in mine and Juliet's wardrobes.  I am making some adjustments to the pattern so the skirt is reversible!  Who doesn't like the option of flipping it inside out and having 2 skirts in one?!  So cute and comfortable!

Strawberry muffins

3/4 cups sugar                                                                          Oven 400 degrees
1 egg
1/2 cup butter
2 cups flour (we used whole wheat pastry flour)
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups chopped strawberries

Cream softened butter and sugar together.  Add egg and mix well.  Sift dry ingredients together.  Add dry ingredients alternately with milk to butter mixture.  Add the vanilla. Gently add strawberries. Spoon into baking cups.  Top with sugar and cinnamon mixture or fancy them up with sprinkles.

Cape failure!

So my beautiful little cape was not a hit with Juliet.  It was too big for her and swallowed her up and I don't think she liked the feel of felt on her little baby skin.  I'll just have to sell it at the Retro Indie Market!  I'm working on a new smaller one for her that she should not be able to resist!  Pictures when I can catch her long enough to stick her in it!  This might be tutorial worthy as it is super easy.
