Ollie’s Easter dress! She really loved it! She was twirling and swishing the skirt and refused to take it off at bedtime. I also put a cute pink cardigan and one of my grandma’s colorful necklaces on her that she loves to wear. She’d received many compliments (by family and strangers!) and I felt so proud of both the dress and how she carried herself in it, not to mention how it felt to see her genuinely love something I designed and made for her!
The dress was pink cotton with embroidered flowers paired with a light blue pastel striped skirt, grosgrain ribbon and the same blue stripe with pink organdy beaded flower appliqués. I also got to use my awesome new purl Merrow to finish the sleeves ^_^
I hope I can maintain this growing tradition for many years to come, and that she lets me!
What if you could snap a photo by snapping your fingers?
This design concept by Yeon Su Kim would let your fingers act like a remote shutter by Bluetooth connecting to your smartphone.

This Is All Kinds Of Wrong of the Day: When Bank of America told a Texas man that his home was being foreclosed upon, he thought that was a bit weird. You see, Brad Gana’s home was destroyed by Hurricane Ike three years ago.
Gana had been dutifully paying his mortgage since despite not having a physical home in the hopes of being able to rebuild. But Bank of America raised Gana’s rate after it incorrectly placed homeowner’s insurance — on a home that doesn’t exist — and didn’t bother letting him know.
BoA said it had mailed several notices, but Gana points out, again, that his non-existent home didn’t have a mailbox. Gana says he gave the bank an e-mail address and two phone numbers, none of which were used.
Making matters even more infuriating, the foreclosure notice came two days before his property was due to go on the auction block. “Bank of America is ruthless in their incompetency,” Gana told Local 2.
A BoA rep released a statement saying they “have contacted Mr. Gana” and “will work with him directly to address his concerns.”
Remember folks, Nov 5th is the day to close your big name bank accounts and open one at a mom & pop bank!
