My Little Cowgirl

Tada, Tada! I figured out a few basic things on my new photoshop software today.  I feel like a moron because I am still always looking in the wrong menu and clicking the wrong thing, but I am better at it than I was this morning.  And the few things I have figured out are a LOT more user friendly than my old version.  Thank you photoshop people!  I think I am really going to love this.  Soon.  Soonish.

A few months ago I found this pink felt cowgirl hat at a second hand kids store.  It was on their after Halloween costume clearance and I snagged it for about $1.50.  And it’s real felt.  Like, the kind I could take to whatever place you take them and they could reshape or dye or whatever.  Not that I am interested in dying it.  Creamie might be, her favorite color for the past few months has been blue.

Not too long after that I saw a Western store that was going out of business and stopped in to check out their sale.  And I found boots.  Little girl leather boots.  Real honest to goodness cowboy boots, and they were 70% off.  And it was all I could do to not buy four or five pairs.  I picked these ones with a few sizes to grow so she can wear them for a while.  They are really big on her now, but I couldn’t handle her growing out of them anytime soon.  I gave them to her for Christmas and she wears them all the time.  It’s hilarious.

In this crazy unseasonably warm winter weather we stopped by a historic cabin in my little town to take some pictures.  And I am so glad I did.  I didn’t get to take pictures of her for her birthday (yet).  But these will be a really good reminder of what she looked like right now.

Her hat, sweater, denim skirt and tights are all thrifted, as is her vintage embroidered top.  This is one of my very favorite of her outfits, even before she had boots and hat.  I’ll be sad when she has grown out of all these pieces.  This sweater is already in the too small box, she’s been wearing it for two years now, haha!

Boots, stripey tights, ponytails and  a hat.  I love this girl.  Also, I really need to remember to take pictures of her wearing more of my favorite clothes.  She doesn’t care, but I sure do love looking at them.  I think I am going to do one post in the next few days with my favorite pictures from the past, oh you know, like two months since I fell off the blogging wagon and then I’ll be all caught up.  And I’m already working on a few Valentine projects (February is my favorite month!) and a few secrets.  Be back soon!
