Mardi Gras Tutu

So, things have been a little crazy around here from Luz's first soccer match and James' first trip to the Fair Grounds, to a visit from Nana and Papa-T and the Saints' crazy, absolutely heart-stopping victory on Sunday night. There's plenty to tell you about BUT I have priorities. I have finished my first honest-to-goodness craft project since I made a sit-upon when I was a Brownie in First Grade. Granted, I had plenty of help, but still...Without further ado, the fluffiest, fullest, finest Mardi Gras tutu imaginable:


Jessie and I decided that this design is far too "full" (not to mention, time consuming) so, the next round will be just one layer of alternating purple, green and gold pieces. I will post a picture once the prototype is complete. I am feeling so confident that after I finish the tutus I will start on my newest endeavor - painting the seat on the ladder. I have a great idea for what I want to do this time and cannot wait to get started.

Oh yeah, one more thing, WHO DAT!


James, ready for the big game
