Pink Ruffly Swimsuit

Every year I am a bit saddened by the 2 piece swimsuit choices for girls. And a one piece would just be way too hard to get on and off Aubrey for potty breaks. So I decided to make her one this year.

Inspired by this post on MADE, I ordered some pink ruffle fabric and some pink and white spandex.

I (sort of) used this pattern for the top and used this underwear pattern (that I LOVE) for the bottoms.

It turned out so super cute! I know I have posted pictures of it from the beach, but I really wanted to do a post for it too. I know, I'm silly.

It is SO pink, and so so girly, but she loves it so much!

I also bought some yellow ruffle fabric to make a matching one for Sierra, I just haven't gotten to it yet. I should really try to finish that up before we go to the beach again.

Beach Again

Ok, now this is just getting ridiculous. More repeat posts. I REALLY need to get some crafting done I guess. I have just been lacking in motivation for any of it. So, until I can get some back, here are a couple fun beach pictures. I didn't take very many this time.

The girls just love the beach so much. We went back to Gloucester Point this time. But next time we are going to try somewhere else out.  (Yes, Mom, I remembered to sunblock myself this time too.)

I also actually managed to pull off something cute for my hair. Thanks Pinterest!

Don't mind the crappy picture. Apparently, my mirror was dirty. Also, it is really hard to take a picture of the back of your own head.

Beach Days

Aubrey on the left and Sierra on the right

There are 2.5 years and an entire country in between these pictures. Aubrey's first beach visit was in California in Sept. of 2009 and Sierra's was just last weekend, June of 2012 in Virginia. And yes I intentionally put Sierra in the same suit to take pictures to compare. That is just the kind of mom that I am.

Of course Aubrey is much bigger now.

We are less than 2 hours away from the beach, I see a lot of trips there happening this summer.
