Her Momma Must Love Her...

Because I actually forced myself to sit down at my machine a couple of weeks ago to sew her this pretty little Valentines dress. I bought the pattern, bought the fabric and said I had a week to get it done. It's such a simple little dress, it only took me about 3 days to finish. Off and on of course cause I only have like an hour or two at a time to sew. I found out the hard way that it is nearly impossible to sew while the little guy is awake. The big kids didn't make it any easier by constantly tying to turn on the machine and push all the buttons on the screen every time I walked away. I have not been at my machine in a loooong while. I think the last time was when I hemmed my dress for Crystal's wedding, and before that it was to make Ry a few giant blankets and a nursing cover up for Disney World...last April!! It's just hard for me to find the time.
So here is the finished product. She got a few compliments when she wore it on our trip to Build A Bear.
