Baby Geranium Dress

I made this tiny little Geranium Dress for a dear friend who was pregnant with her 2nd child. Her first is a boy and she was excitedly expecting a girl. I was tickled to make this itty bitty dress. It is such an easy pattern and yet too cute for words!
Now, the funny story about this dress. This friend also found out a month before delivery that not only was this little girl breech.... she was also a BOY! Big surprises and lots of last minute changes. But she is in LOVE with her baby boy. And the dress, it will just wait for a little sister. At least I am hoping there will be a sister somewhere in the future!

Easter Dresses

For Easter I decided to make Piper a Geranium dress from a pattern that I absolutely LOVE from Made by Rae (click HERE if you are interested in the pattern) And then I ended up making two dresses. I started making this one...
And then I saw a dress with these colors and made this one:
She ended up wearing the second one to church on Easter morning. However, that has been the only time she has worn it. While waiting on Sunday School to start, Piper did a little doodling on the dry erase board. She is not sure how she got marker all over the front of her dress, but the eraser sure does. After much treating, scrubbing, soaking and repeating, I put it in the pile to redo. And it will remain there until it is too small for her. Hey. You live. You learn.
