New Year's Eve is my granddaughter Teagan's birthday. When she opened the doll dresses I made for her on Christmas, the first thing she said was "Can you make me some more for my birthday?" Fortunately I had started early with my Christmas sewing this year, and I already had two ballet dresses done before everything went on hold..... an elaborate white one, and a sparkly blue one.... I don't do well with tight deadlines, but I managed to start two more party dreses during the week. Time was at a premium, so that meant working every spare minute, even when there were guests. But I finally finished this morning. Now they are all wrapped up, and I'm heading off to her party.....

The dresses are so lovely. Your granddaughter was for sure really happy to get them as her birthday present.

My Grandma also sewed some Barbie dresses for me when I was little. My Mom made simple everyday clothes for my dolls, but my Grandma made fancy gowns out of velvet and lace.

Well, not so much my hands, as my shoulders and arms ache from the repetitive motion with my neck arthritis.
