Since Little Miss C turned one life seems to have become a bit of a blur. She's suddenly desperate to walk and her speech is also developing every day. We've had a few first steps and miles and miles covered around the house with her baby walker. That does mean I have had to quickly develop even more eyes in the back of my head and a skill to crochet whilst walking around! I have also managed to squeeze in some me time with a lovely night out being pampered with other mummy bloggers at Beautylase and an evening of crocheting in a pub with a good friend. There are also plans to host some craft evenings which are very exciting.
I've not yet had time to sort all the photos from her birthday either, but I did come across this one to let you have a first look at the adorable Clothkits dress that I made her – modelled here in the layered look over a pair of pyjamas! I'm sure that somewhere we have a better picture, but until I find it this will just have to do.
For those wanting the sewing detail: The dress is made from the Clothkits Loganberry Sunflower Frock Kit and was my first attempt at making clothes from a Clothkits kit. The kit includes all the fabric, buttons and thread needed. Some sewing skill and a machine that can do buttonholes is necessary, but overall I didn't find it too difficult to make. There were a couple of occasions where the instructions were a bit hard to follow, but that may well have been due to it being the end of the day when I was trying to make this!
