Irresistible

Available from CiaoBebeBoutique    Now I see that it is offered in pink and with sleeves.

I did not make this dress.  It was ordered from CiaoBebeBoutique and I love it. When I saw it posted on Pinterest, I found it to be irresistible.

Vivian Rose, our toddler granddaughter, has big blue eyes and would be spectacular in this, I knew.

Her blue eyes are exactly like her mother’s–not at all bat-like.

But I can smock.  And I can embroider–and sew.   But I wanted it now.  So it arrived in the mail and now Vivian Rose is wearing it.  I have decided that I don’t have to make everything she wears.  Buying this dress freed me up to sew other things for her.

Vivian Rose in her beloved pink Crocs. She loves them because she can put them on herself.

The 100% cotton dress is very well made.  I shortened it considerably to her mother’s preferred length.

Here she is wearing the dress at pre-school which she attends two mornings a week.  Vivian Rose is a very intense, busy little girl.  And cute as a button.

I have no regrets or guilt for making this purchase.

NANA FUN

The grandchildren were all here last weekend to decorate gingerbread houses.  I tucked 5 yo grandson Alastair into bed, read him a story and then kissed him goodnight.

“Good night, Alastair.   You must be very tired after that long drive to Nana’s house.”

“No, I’m not tired.  I took two naps in the car.  Do you know why I could take two naps?”

“No, why?”

“Because I hate Jesus.”

“What???  Why would you say you hate Jesus?”

“Nana, I didn’t say I hate Jesus.  I said I ate Cheezits.  A whole bag of them.  They made me sleepy.”

Whew!  Clarification is sweet.
