4 aprons

Yes that's right--4 aprons. Purchased some cute cherry fabric that reminded me of one of my grandmother's aprons a couple years ago. Plans were to make me a full apron but once I pulled it out I found that I purchased more than I thought I did.  So I got:

Apron for me plus

                                                      A Barbie apron for DGD's doll, plus

                                                 
                                                    An apron for DGD's 18 inch doll plus

                 An apron for DGD and still have a little left over and that little is just under half of a meter

Even the rick rack could be found on my dear grandmother's aprons. I loved it when I got to wear one of hers even if it was a little big while I help her make ketchup.

Doll dress

I finally got the doll dress finished. I used the same fabric for the doll dress as I used for DGD Easter dress. However I put navy binding around the bottom of the dress instead of the netting. 

This dress will be given to DGD at Christmas as part of the clothes I will be giving her for the 18 inch doll. Been kind of thinking that I need to make myself a dress with this fabric as I really like it but I already have a couple navy dresses and I did buy some smaller red flower fabric in this line to make myself a dress.

Birthday cards

Its been a while since I posted any pictures of cards I have made.

Here is the birthday card I made for my DGD who's turning 5 today.

While I had my card making supplies out I when ahead and made my DGS Birthday card for his birthday which is two weeks from today.

sock class

Back in January I took a two-part toe-up sock class on two circular knitting needles  and this is the pair of socks I made.  I used Indigo dragon yarn-chameleon sock yarn-special edition. Shades of blue with a touch of purple.

Am taking another sock class towards the end of April to learn a second heel in pink yarn.

Easter Dress for DGD,

This is the dress I made for my DGD for Easter. The fabric is a navy solid fabric and navy flora print. The flora print is a avionne print and the sewing pattern I used was McCalls M5793. The dress is fully lined and the navy netting around the bottom I simply attached to the skirt lining. The netting was to be the full length of the skirt but I figured it was a little to much. The ribbon tie was to have three one inch roses attached to it but was not able to find any but came across some cute pink trim with some little flowers so I used it instead.
 Will be making a matching 18 in doll dress but will be saving it for part of her Christmas present.
