Year in Review, Part 1

Stimulated by a family member's comment (thanks, Anne!), I decided to post some of the things I've been doing this year.  Almost everything I do I give away and so I quickly forget the things accomplished.  However, I have learned to take pictures of most things so as I gathered the photos I realized that I'd actually accomplished quite a few things this year!

My 5 year old neighbor was asked to be flower girl in a wedding in September.  Her mom had a concept in mind for the dress she wanted.  The wedding was in southern Arizona in early September so something cool was the order of the day.  Using a couple of her existing dresses as patterns, much trial and error and a trip to the garment district we finally ended up with a little bubble dress that fit, was cool and with a little added ribbon, met the color requirements.  Hard to see in the pictures but the top is lace over a very lightweight cotton knit and the bottom is dupioni silk.  Cute shoes, too, eh?  Can't take any credit for them.
