Morning, morning, well I think it's actually the afternoon now, but who's counting anyway?
I did start this post this the morning, but other stuff kind of got in the way like having to make a batch of fairy cakes because my sweet tooth told me to and having to go for a stroll down to the sea front to walk off said fairy cakes! That's a good enough excuse for me so it must be OK.
So anyway, how are you feeling on this bright and chilly autumnal morning/afternoon/day?
Saying that, I do hope it is lovely and sunny where you are - it is here, but I fear it is a fleeting thing and all will pass and change come tomorrow.
Anyway, back to my dress making - sorry.
Now that I've got this (finally - sorry sis) firmly wrapped up and on it's way to the post office for my adorable little niece who's second birthday is Monday - I know my sister doesn't read my blog often anyway - I thought I would share with you the crafty thing (s) that have been dominating my life at the moment.
Even though it may appear crafting has been on a low front around here recently on my little blog with Autumn kind of taking over my head space, I have in fact been beavering away in the background whipping up lots of little dresses for all the lovely little ladies in my life and who's birthdays all fall at this time of the year - lucky me!
So this year I thought I would whip them all up a custom made dress - a one off with some of the fabric I've had stashed away 'forever' and never seem to find any time to transform into something utterly gorgeous and want some these days - crochet has seemed to of taken over my life this past year!
Anyhow, may I present to you this gorgeous little dress I rustled up the other evening. I do hope the littlest niece (and sis) like it.
And do you want to see the fabric I've bought for the littlest Boo to make her dress out of??
All the way from America. Little red riding hood and mushrooms, doesn't it look scrummy?
Though I'll let you have a better peek when I'm almost finished - for at the moment, I'm keeping stum!
Have a fabulous day.

Very sweet little dress Nina. You have been busy yet again. Gorgeous fabrics from America, can't wait to see what you make with them.
A lovely sunny day here as well so making the most of it!
I'm sure that they willboth love the fress - its gorgeous. Cant wait to see what the red riding hood one turns out like. xxx
The dress is lovely and I do like the look of the "little red riding hood" fabric.
Is the dress from a pattern? I only ask,as I keep meaning to start making clothes for my little girl and I really want something quite simple to start with. Any suggestions?
Thanks Jenny x
Gorgeous Nina! She'll love it - can't wait to see the new project too as you go along! xxx
Make the most of it Nina. My daughter won't let me make her pretty dresses any more let alone pick out anything for her to wear.
Love the American fabrics.

oh you clever bunny :) LOVE that dress, especially the wee puff cap sleeves, so very cute, who couldn't love it! As for the other fabric, that is just adorable, can't wait to see your creation, makes me want more and more to create my own fabrics one day! It was pouringgggg with rain the morning when I took photos, with no sun on the forecast, of course once said photos were taken the sun came out!! So just had a little walk to make the most of it.

Lovely new fabric too, looking forward to seeing what you create with it. :)

You have done a lovely job as always! I’m very tempted by that new fabric you’ve got, so cute!
I’m trying not to spend any money at the moment, looks like that might go out the window.
Enjoy the rest of the week!

Loved your ramblings at the beginning of your post - i started todays post on my blog last night :-)
Wow wee I love that dress and that new material, I have a real thing for material now and now understand why people get addicted. I have had to look away from your blog lol.
The dress is darling and that Little Red Riding Hood fabric - oh my! So much cuteness!
we had a lovely day today, it was nice to open the curtains this morning and not see rain. Very cute little dress but I'm awaiting the mushrooms ...
How lovely! The fabric you bought is so, so sweet! I'd love to make something like that, but I don't think my two boys' would appreciate it somehow!!
