Christening Gown Pattern Found!

I found a pattern for the Christening Gown I need to make. I found it here on Etsy. I was very impressed by the seller, who answered some questions that I had before purchasing within an hour of my asking, and the pattern was emailed to me well witin the 24 hours the store said it would be sent.

Now to get some black ink for my printer so I can print out the pattern and not have to keep refering to my laptop. Of course, I have coupons from Best Buy Reward Zone, and I need the black ink to print them!

Happy Stitching My Friends!

Pattern Woes

I have been trying to wrap my head arround designing a pattern for an infant Christening Gown for the baby my mom is expecting this July. I can't seem to find a pattern I like, and what I have been playing with out of my head just does not seem to be working for the sleeves. Looks like I'm heading back to the drawing board.

Learning a New Skill!

It seems that the more people I tell I can't figure out how to work a shuttle for tatting, the closer I come to figuring it out. I got a call from my wonderful grandmother tonight, and after I asked her if she knew anyone who could tat, I felt encouraged to find my shutte and make a go at tatting again. After twenty minutes fighting with the thread, I am proud to report that I have six stitches properly done! Huzzah! for progress!
