So in March when I was in CO working and trying to spend a little time with the granddaughters, J decided she was sleeping in "my bed" (which was fine with me). So the first night (before the son / father laid down the law and informed me that 7:00 bedtime meant 7:00 to sleep, not to play on the computer), I decided to show J some pictures of her when she was a little girl. So, I flashed through pictures of her when she was a tiny baby. I showed her pictures of days when her mama and I spent quite a bit of time trying different outfits on her. I showed her pictures of her 1st birthday. Then, I showed her some pictures I had taken of her in a dress that my Grandma DeCurtins had made for me - a crochetted pink and blue dress that really needs a slip underneath but I wanted a picture but was afraid she was growing so fast, I wouldn't get on.
When I showed her this picture, she put her nose right up against the computer screen. "The dress, the dress, I have to have that dress. I explained to her that it was too little and was at my house. We then played Nemo awhile and went to sleep.
The next day when I turned on the computer, she wanted to see the picture of the "the dress". So, I would show her. I then decided, I needed to make her a dress of her own. So, I have been spending a little time each day for the past several weeks working on a dress. It is too bad that they do not make a silky crochet thread like my Grandma used to make my dress but I think she'll be happy with this one when it gets finished. Or at least I hope so.

Beautiful! i had a friend of mine online make Rhayn a pink crocheted dress, she loves it. (will however hates it, and says that it looks like something his mom would have made...:( )
A dress, and a pink one at that.. Don't worry. She'll LOVE it.. She must have gotten all the "girlie" genes for the family.... It's great that you're always doing things like this for the girls.
Ilove that picture!
My grams crochet me a lilac dress w/ that shiny yarn when I was about 6 years old. My mom had a yard sale and sold it! My gra'ma was livid, so she went into my closet and got out all the other things she sewed and crocheted me and took them home for storage. One of the crochet dresses, i had my gra'ma make the arm holes a little bigger and wear it as a top now. I think it's lovely you get to make cute little outfits for your babies. That is the only thing i think about when I think about having a girl - making them cute things. love you!
