State Dress
I found a fun (and really big!) United States puzzle at a yard sale and got it for the girls so we could play geography at our home school. Once I got it home I had to put it together to make sure it had all the pieces. It didn't, so I got the chance to be creative and add in the 2 states that had been lost by the former owners. I'll let the girls color them when we put the puzzle together so they can feel a part of it all. Of course, as I was putting it all away, I got the crazy idea to make a state dress. I really like the sweetheart neckline of this dress, as well as the jagged edge to the flirty skirt. The fun short sleeves also add to the pixie flavor and make this a great dress for a day out shopping or boating or picnicking by the lake. [Note: only one of these states is one I've actually lived in (Missouri) although I've been to most of them.]
