I know, I know - I've been MIA, and *gasp* it's not been because I've been working out so hard (or at all, whatever).
Nope, between migraines and family, I've had little to no energy, but have been concentrating what energies I do have into a very therapeutic hobby. Make fun if you will, but it has been quite relaxing. I picked up my crochet hook to make a blankie for my niece (due in September), and it was very relaxing. Now I understand why my Gramma loved doing it so much.
My niece's blankie
When I finished with that, the next natural step was to get on Pinterest and start looking at crocheted dresses. It's a lost art, I tell ya. I started making my own and ran out of yarn, which will have to be ordered because apparently our local craft store must only stock up once every two months.
Unfinished dress
If you can't find clothes you like, just make them! Yeah, I know it's not that easy. At least I can crochet. If I even look at a sewing machine the wrong way it will break. It will be cute when it's done. In the mean time, I'm working on another dress, pretty much the same as the white one, just a different color.
Totally doesn't resemble a dress. . . yet.
The top is made separately from the bottom. It was easier to do the fittings that way. It looks much better in person. Sewn together, it will have the same shape as the white dress. Of course there will be pics of the final product! . . . when it's finished, that is. :D
Cheers!
