I am so so excited to share this project with you all! Last week I decided to try my hand at a crochet dress. I have never made any kind of clothing before and I wasn't sure where to start. After a few hours it started to actually look like something that could be a dress, and then after a few days it actually was a dress!
I am pretty happy with how it turned out, especially for my first try and no pattern. There will be a few things I will do differently next time. First off, the skirt will be fuller and I also want to make the collar a bit smaller. I have a lot of designs in mind now and in fact I have already started on the next one. This unfortunately means that I won't be opening the shop back up for a bit longer. If I had orders to finish there would be no way I could work on fun projects like this.
How was everyone's weekend? My sister and I had a little shopping spree and Dusin and I have started watching True Blood, season 4. This means staying up way too late because we are totally addicted!
Oh and I am guest posting over on Prarie Hen today:)

obviously like your web site however you need to test the spelling on several of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling problems and I in finding it very troublesome to tell the truth then again I will definitely come again again. casino

Hi Rebecca! A few weeks ago I ran into your website by accident, looking for a different "manzanita", but I keep coming back regularly now. I love your style, your photos and the way you write about the things you do. Keep up the great work. You're an inspiration! Love from Germany, Susanne
