Cole Quote of the Day

Cole: (randomly) God gave me what I wanted. A little sweet sister. 
*heart melted*

Another Day, Another Dress

 I made Katie another dress.  The first one I made barely fit her.  This one fits pretty well and has a little room to grow.  I have another cut for this size, so I need to finish it quickly and then I will make one or two more of the size above that.  Perhaps then I will have it out of my system.  I doubt it, though.  It is fun to have a sweet little doll to dress up.  And she won't complain about it for maybe 2 years so I figure I need to get while the getting is good :).
I made this one with better seamstress "finishing" skills on the straps and such and made a button-on apron.  My brother got her two real Matilda Jane dresses for Christmas and so I was able to figure out the apron from the one that has an apron.

 This face means something along the lines of "I am irritated".  She does it and then smiles because she knows it is funny.

Let It Snow!
