This last week, was my daughters first birthday.  Then came her 1 year check up.  With that check up came 5 shots, and blood work.  What a doozey that was!  And on top of everything, she is cutting yet another tooth.  As soon as this one breaks the skin, she will have 8 teeth!  So this week has been cranky, grumpy, and needy.  Not to mention the diapers and battling diaper rash.  As a stay at home mom, these are the things that take up my day.

My time to relax has been during naps and after she goes to bed.  I have not been idle during this time frame.  I have finished 4 dresses, with 1 incomplete still on the dummy.  So to fill you in, I have pictures of my dresses.

First, I completed my peacock dress.
  I used  a variety of colors to complete this dress.     chocolate, teal, wine, turquoise, and purple.  I then weaves some of those same colors into the bodice.  I added a beautiful wine colored flower, and 2 peacock feathers.

I finished a Batman inspired dress, but since it's a birthday gift, I can't show the picture until she gets it.

I completed a Snow White inspired dress.
  I added my own flair with some hot fix crystals, and an  interesting button.

I then made my first elastic dress for my baby girl.  It fits, but it needs a diaper cover under it.
