Inspired by a trip to Conner Prairie (where we purchased the bonnet) and the Little House books, Grace asked to be a prairie girl. Turquoise isn't really a prairie dress color, but she loves it (and isn't that the most important thing anyway).
There are buttons to be added, but Grace couldn't wait to get it on. As I write this, she's gathering pecans from the yard. True Prairie Girl! Up next are the finishing touches on Princess Leia for my darling, Julia. Given that Julia's hair is only three inches long, it's going to be a challenge to fashion Leia's hair.

Wonderful costume! Grace looks so pretty!
She looks just like Laura! Has she started calling you and Craig Ma & Pa?
She looks great! Maybe she can pass the time by churning some butter :). One less thing to pick up at the grocery store.
For Julia, you could attach the side buns to a head band! I found this idea by searching for "princess leia wig" on Amazon.com.
I am so jealous of your sewing skills!
Hah, Mary, you know she did! She also told Craig that he really needs his own prairie dress (he'll have to find that on his own).
Rebecca, thank you for the awesome idea: a head band would definitely work!
Grace is a true Laura! You are a great sewer! And I am sure Julia will be gorgeous too.
Early Happy Birthday Ellen..I hope to get a card in the mail to you!
Grandma Helen was great at sewing too. Mary Carol has inherited that skill also as I see you have too.
Great Job! God bless all.Love, Aunt Kathy
