A Cute Sundress

I was shopping with my friend in Bramble Patch recently and was drawn to some pretty child's sundresses displayed.
Deciding it was perfect for my granddaughter I bought the pattern and with multi sizes given, it will last a few years especially as the style can be worn as a pinafore dress as well.
Then I had the problem of choosing the fabric! I love the Lewis & Irene fabrics; they are so pretty. I found it hard to choose, I wanted them all, it seemed such a pity to leave the others behind!
Eventually, I chose the Salisbury Spring in lavender.

 The dress is made from Lavender Spring.

For the facing, I chose Lavender Little Multi Daisies

I made covered buttons in the daisy print too.

The dress pattern was easy to make and fairly quick too!
Now I must get back to the applique sheep..............

Meet the 'Mice Girls'!

The Euro 16s football has been on the TV recently and although I'm not a great fan I can tolerate it being on in the same room providing I have something interesting to do, then I can just listen whilst working, only looking up if I hear shouting and there's the possibility that something interesting might be happening!
So this is how I came to take up my crochet hook again and make my medley of mice.
After making so many rabbits I needed a change and these crazy girls amused me, taking on their different personalities as I made them all slightly different shapes and sizes.
Meet the 'Mice Girls'.

First we have Martie, she's the sweet grey and kind.

This is Mabel, the white mouse, she's the eldest and takes on all the responsibilities of her younger sisters.

 Mary is the yellow mouse who is always happy.

 And Maudie, the green mouse who is the youngest and naughtiest.

Here they are together in a group hug!

As you see I quite enjoy the football being on!
Enjoy your weekend,
