It Doesn't Happen Often

I know it's not very becoming of a lady to brag, but I MUST. I'm so excited! I've been wanting to crochet my daughter a Summer dress, but couldn't find the right pattern so I put it on the back burner. Then, my friend showed me an adorable sweater she began making for my daughter and I was inspired.

One night while watching a movie with my older son, I pulled out some pretty Caron Simply Soft lavender yarn, grabbed a summer jumper of hers for reference and began crocheting. By the end of the movie, I had crocheted the front top portion of Emmie's Summer dress. The next morning, I made the back portion of the top and began the skirt. Now, I envisioned in my head how to do this, never expected it to work and yet, it actually did. Like the title says, it doesn't happen very often that how I envision a project to be done actually works! When I moved on to the skirt, I decided to use a stitch from my dishcloth book that looked scalloped. Once again, I wasn't sure if it would work out, but low and behold, IT DID! I'm currently work on the skirt and the longer it gets the more excited I get. Emma is excited too. Every time she sees the dress, she says proudly, "Mine" or "Emma's". I can't wait to see it on her!!!
