I love this time of year, and it brings back some fun memories of living in New Orleans as a child.
Dad used to have a ladder, with a little seat on top we'd bring to parades. I'd sit up on the seat, yelling "Throw me sumthin Mista!"
Although Mardi Gras parades aren't really thought of as "innocent"... we always made it a family affair.
We would dance in the streets with the bands, chase beads and doubloons. Mom always wanted us to soak up the culture. I remember King Cakes in Elementary school, and at Blue Birds.
To celebrate this time, here's two sweet Mardi Gras designs. Stitch one up just for fun. In true cajun fashion, I've added some lagniappe. (Type in code lagniappe for an extra $1 off when you order.)
"Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez"
MaryKay is slowly trying to dig herself out from under a mountain if fabric, one tutorial at a time.
