A special Dress

A special dress for a special little girl Tabbetha my granddaughter is 2 on the 7th Febuary and i have made her this hat & dress i think it has turned out well. I love the pleats and i have decided to cover the three little buttons in the pasley material, i nearly always do a hat with her outfits so now my name is Nanny hat. I have knitted her a chunky cardigan to go with it. I just have 1 sleeve to do and then i will take a picture of it. While i was making the dress it took me back, to when my daughter Louise was having her, i was at their house looking after Oliver who was tucked up in bed and i was down stairs dozing i had said to my son in law Michael to keep me informed expecting a phone call when she was born but instead he kept texting me messages and it went like this
Got the call to go down.
Waters bust Ok.
Drip in and going well.
Mum will take ollie to school.
Pushing now.
7 pounds 6oz

I have saved this in my mobile phone folder and when i told my daughter Louise she was amazed as she did not know he was doing this, the thought of one hand holding her and the other texting me lol, well thats the story of how my first granddaughter entered this world one beautiful little girl. Oh by the way girls, ive got a new laptop so i can blog about the house. Bye for now. X
i love how you get from this ...
to this!

Thanks for popping into my blog - I've just read through yours - you are so clever

I love the red and white dress its so beautiful - red and white has to be my very favourite combination.

Even when I do projects for boys I have to find a way of getting red in there.

Have clicked to follow your blog so looking forward to seeing your future projects

Oh wow Pat, that dress is gorgeous!! It makes my creations look really basic!! I would love to be able to create something so beautiful and "finished" looking. I love the combination of red paisley and white. Where did you get the red paisley fabric from? I'm itching to get some now!! :)

Pat, you are such a darling for doing all that legwork for me!! I will have to give them a ring when I've got some pennies and purchase a few meters of that gorgeous paisley. Thanks so much for the info. :)
