Mummy Made It

I thought I'd try my hand this week at a bit of dress-making.
Baby-Kalico dress-making!
I bought a lovely book which claimed to have 'full-size patterns'.
It didn't mention that ALL the full size patterns were printed on the 2 sheets
 and are just a mess of lines! :(
So I cut myself a pattern from one of Baby-Kalico's other dresses.
And made this little dress adding a flower that my mother had crocheted.
I can't wait to try some more!!

 *****

And my 'Mummy' i.e. Granny-Kalico sent Baby H a parcel this week
which included this gorgeous knitted set:
It's still a little big, but it goes nicely with her new dress:
It's a shame my mother no longer knits for me,
but it's my own fault!: As a child
I don't think I appreciated all her hard work,
but I do now!!
I just can't believe how quickly she is growing up -
sitting up, giggling... it won't be long before she's off!

Our strange cat seems to be able to make herself comfortable in any position :)

She is absolutely adorable and looks like she is the sweetest baby ever! Love her new outfits too.

Oh, those eyes and that smile!!!
BTW, the dress is cute, too--and the sweater and cap set.
(I've had encounters with patterns like that--maddening!!)
