Zaylee's New Dress

I noticed this past Sunday that the dress Zaylee was wearing was way too short. I realized that it was about the same size as all her dresses, meaning that they're all too short. So I set about to come up with at least one new dress for her this week, so she can go to church without flashing her cute little undies at everyone.

Fast forward to yesterday at the library. While we were leaving, we passed a table with free magazines. Jeff happened to notice that one of them was a crochet magazine and he grabbed it for me. In that magazine I found a pattern for an adorable little sun dress and decided to make it. So I've been crocheting all last night and today, and I finally finished it this evening. And it's adorable! I took some pictures; here they are:




And here is the dress on my sweet little model.




She was so excited about getting a pretty new dress. Doesn't it just look so cute on her?

OH! The cuteness is killing me! :-) You are so talented! My friend does things like this all the time and I never cease to be amazed what you people can do with a piece of metal and some yarn. You'll have to do a jacket to match for fall... When I have a little girl, will you make cute stuff for her? Please? *puppy dog eyes and pouty lips*

That's , in Mark's words, HELLA cute. You should make more, and sell them on ebay or people at church, with cute little scripture totes and hair barrettes that match.
