@Enufstuff   Toni - Beautiful as always!  I love the details!  

My mom dressed us in patriotic dresses, RWB bathing suits, jumpers.  Still today I still like my patriotic tops with white pants or capri's.  One of my childhood favorites was a red white and blue striped tube top.  (Great when you're 11 or 12!). 

Enjoy the day!  Thanks for sharing.  So nice your daughter still does these activities for kids.   Dedication for sure, lots of work and planning.  Kudos to her!  

Happy birthday America!

@lynnie61 Thank you very much.

   You and your sisters must have been cute in your patriotic dresses and bathing suits.

    Back in the 70's, I made a red , white and blue patchwork summer skirt for myself.

@Enufstuff the care and meticulous detail you gave to Toni's beautiful dress is evident at every turn.

She looks beautiful!

@Enufstuff 

Thank you so much for treating us all to the lovely pictures of Toni.  She is always dressed so nicely and appropriate for any occasion.  
A Happy 4th to you and your family.  What a creative and fun way your daughter celebrates the holiday with so many children.  I am so sorry for her challenges, but she is quite brave and strong - just like her mother.

Wishing you a happy summer!  Stay in touch!

Your friend,

Pam

I can always count on seeing another adorable outfit for Toni on the holidays, and this one is just that!

I can't wait to see what Labor Day brings her - I already know 100% it will be super cute too. 

Serious question @Enufstuff  how do you outdo yourself with every outfit? I really admire your artistic talent, because I know I would be out of creative ideas and you never are!

@Happy2BHere those outfits are so adorable; I need to remember to look for @Enufstuff's posts.

@PamfromCT   Thank you so much. I'm glad that you enjoy

                      seeing Toni in her little outfits.

                         I hope that you and your family had a happy

                       4th of July.

                         I had a relaxing day, reading on the porch. That

                      is what I enjoy the most, until it gets too hot to sit

                      outside. The past few days have been lovely with

                      low humidity and comfortable temperature.

                         Tomorrow morning I will be going to a  

                     farmer's market with two of my daughters. It is

                     held every Sunday, near the beach. 

                        We have no travel plans for the summer, but I 

                     did go away for a few days, last month, with my 

                     oldest daughter. Girl time is always fun.

                         Do you have any summer travel plans?

                          I hope that you enjoy your summer.

                                                     Love,

                                                          Donna

@Happy2BHere   Thank you very much.

                             Many of the dresses that I post, like the

                        sailor dress, are not newly made.

                             Some are pictures of dresses that I had

                        previously made and sold online to Toni Doll

                        collectors.

                            I have a very large stockpile of fabrics and 

                         made some new outfits during the past year,

                         after not sewing for several years. I did re-

                         create some dresses and skirts from my 

                         childhood. A cute fabric will inspire me to

                         make a new dress.

                           There are a few dresses that I plan to make,

                          but I have never done one for Labor Day. Do

                          people dress up for Labor Day?

                           At the end of summer, I usually post Back to

                          School Dresses. I also have materials to re- 

                          create one of my favorite Christmas dresses

                          that my grandmother bought for me. I didn't

                          get to it last year. Maybe this year, if I'm in the

                          mood to sew.
