CAN-CANdy Corn Skirt


Candy corns at EASTER? Oh my . . .

That's right. We do things a bit different around here. To me, candy corns are all sunshine and gold, baby chicks, creamy Cadbury centers and all that good Easter/spring stuff.

How better could I spend the wee hours of the morning than by sewing miles and miles of buttery, golden, candy corn colored chiffon ruffles?

This guy coordinated perfectly in his yellow polo and orange undershirt. Here he is, sporting that classic IAN grin.


Lilly knows that, when surrounded by a house full of boys at grandma and grandpa's gigantic Easter bash, she has to be that much more girly to balance the snakes/snails/puppy dog tails.

I think she managed just fine.

Dana of MADE fame, your CAN-CAN skirt pattern is fabulous. We hope you like our CAN-CANdy corn twist on it!

How was your Easter, blog friends? Any candy corns?

  10. Saw your sweet family in the 11:00 service. (at least I think it was the 11:00 service; after being there since 7:15 all the services started running together!)
    We normally have ham for Easter dinner, but we invited an international student from Pakistan who is Muslim, so we had lasagna instead; I made 1-veggie and 1-meat. (he also came to church as well, which is a BIG praise!!)
