Here is My LadyBug Sundress..... :)
I got the idea from the Summerlin Dress and The two Summer Dresses but I change the top to my own variation....The top is done in cotton yarn...
I did a jumper front and back as opposed to just straps in the back... and I did a picot edge all around..
It certainly deserved some LadyBug Buttons so off to the store I went in search of..... :)
It still needs to be ironed so don't mind the wrinkles...

A Chicken Sweater for Felix :)
I used a combo of Encore ..Vannas and Woolease and some texture yarn for the Hay..
The Pattern is in a Bouton D'Or Book ...

Just an Updated Photo of Sami & Felix..... :)

Just Made these Capris For Sami...
I used Filatura DiCrosa Baby.... Zarella Yarn..
Started with directions for pants but they were bottom up and I wanted to do top down because I didn't think I had enough of this yarn for LONG Pants.. So I reversed the directions and added a seed stitch cuff when I got to Capri Length....

Last Week we had Our "Sisters Day "... One sisiter lives an hour and 1/2 form me and the other is 2 hours ...
