Crafting Along with needle and thREAD

This week I decided to try out a pattern. It was such a cute little dress and I couldn't help myself. So I went against my better instincts and cut out the pieces. The dress part was easy, but I had major issues with the neckline. Perhaps it was due to my lack of ironing skills. Perhaps it was too late at night. I don't think that the pattern itself was flawed as many people have had great succes with it. Patterns and I just do not do well together.

After many attempts, I decided that I had some really cute ribbon that matched the fabric print and I would rather use it anyway.

In the end, Bunny still got a chicken dress. It turned out a little shorter that I usually make them due to the change in the neckline. Still very cute, and she likes it. I have a good bit of leftover fabric, so I plan to make one for Squirrely as well.

As for my reading... I have been too nesty, too tired, too Braxton Hick-ish, too fidgety to stick with one book.  So my reading has consisted of online birth stories, favorite blogs, quick pick-ups of favorite birthing books (Ina May among others), and plenty of Bunny's favorite books!
