Three down. 4 to go.

Some bad news and some good news.

Olive now pronounces her "R"s.  
So sad.  Much sadder than is really necessary, but sad, nonetheless.

But, the good news is I finished her dress!
This is another one of my own designs/patterns 
(although the gathered belt was Ryan's idea).
All the fabric I used was from the dollar/yard table again.
I find I'm more bold in my designing when I'm using inexpensive fabric.
The sleeves and belt were made using elastic thread, you know, my new friend.

  2. I'm a lurker...found you through Dana on MADE. I had to unlurk today to tell you that this dress is enchanting! I've loved them all but this one is just amazing! (P.S. I have three girls 2 and under and hope to have at least two more). Thanks for sharing your beautiful site and giving me daily inspiration.
