Allie's dress is finished

So Allie's dress is finished and it came out beautiful. It fits her perfectly, with room in case she fills with fluid. I also found Anna's veil from last year. I just need to wash it and it will be perfect. I am just so proud of this dress. Now onto the pics.

Allie's Communion Dress

I went to moms today to start on Allie's communion dress. We have a week and a half to get it done, but I want to just get it done asap. I took pics of our step by step process, in case I want to use this pattern to make sundresses for the girls :) The good thing is, this dress is going to fit her perfectly and look beautiful. The following pics are of the pieces all cut out, bodice front and back, skirt, mom pinning and mom goofing around. Enjoy!

Allie's afghan

I've been working like crazy on Allie's afghan for her bed. It is coming out so nice!!!!




the sock I made the other day came out huge, and is missing. The last time I saw it, Alaina had it, but I haven't seen it since. Here's a sock I made, started last night and finished today using worsted weight yarn, size 10 dpns and Joan's Sock pattern from Lionbrand.com

Socks

The girls in my Thursday knitting group are all knitting socks, and there I was knitting on an afghan. I decided by the end of the group, I wanted to tackle socks, with actual sock yarn and little dpns. So I got the stuff and cast on today. I'm at the point of turning the heel (thank you knitting help for your video!!). I'm using Deborah Norville Serenity sock yarn and the pattern is on the back of the label. The colors are super pretty :)

A Big Sewing Project

'

So, I have a new sewing project to embark on. I need to make Allie her first Communion dress. I picked out this beautiful sundress pattern, got the satin fabric and the notions I needed to make the dress. I'm going to start on it next week when the kids are in school. It's going to come out great!

Krista's blanket is almost finished. I have the yarn to do Allie's blanket next, which I am excited about. The colors are going to be 3 different shades of purple with white. She is going to love it!
