My sister Cali had her baby on January 1st and wanted to bless her on February 1st. She called me on Wednesday, January 21st and asked me where I got Kennedi's blessing dress. We got talking about it and realized that wouldn't give her much time to get one ordered and she mentioned that her sister-in-law's baby had a crochet dress that was so adorable. That's when I opened my big mouth and volunteered to make her a dress. I'd never done one with thread before, I didn't know how it would turn out, and I didn't even have a pattern. After much coordination and thread shopping, I had her sister-in-law fax me the pattern and I got to work. I started it late Friday night and worked on it steady for the next week. I finished it the following Friday and fell completely in love with it. It was fun to make, but next time, I'll give myself more that a week. I figured it took me 20 hours, but it was definitely worth it. In fact, Melissa, my sister-in-law has already put her order in and her baby isn't even born yet! Isn't it adorable!
What a beautiful baby!
And the matching headband added the perfect final touch!
The little puff sleeves looked so cute with her little bracelet.
I loved the little buttons down the back!
The bottom ruffle with the beads is my favorite part!

It's about time you blogged! The dress is GORGEOUS! In fact; should I ever produce female offspring, I'll let you make me one too. Nice job. I love the large pink bow. I don't think you have a post without a large pink bow.
And I thought a glue gun was your crafty weapon of choice!?!It is beautiful! What did Cali name her gorgeous baby girl? Look at all that hair!!
Holy cow! I am really impressed that you made that at all, let alone in such a short time. It looks great! What talent you have!
I'm impressed. Can you make one for Ami's & my's future daughter that we will hopefully have one day. Oh, expect we need it by Feb. 27th. OK?
Holy cow! You are so talented!
