I have to admit that when I first found out that I was pregnant I hoped for a boy. Well we both did. When we found out that we were having a girl we were still very excited, but needed to get used to the idea. And I gotta tell ya, I'm so glad for having a little girl. I wouldn't trade anything in the world for my sweet Grace. I wouldn't trade the moments of getting to go pick out a holiday dress for her. Going to find the perfect little shoes and accessories is one of my favorites. No, actually my favorite part is getting to make her something to go along with the outfit.
This year we went very early to go pick out the perfect little Easter dress for her. Oh how I'm so excited and can't wait to show you what she looks like in it. But you'll have to wait because I'm not completely finished with the accessories. About the accessories, the weekend that we went to the flea market, there was a lady selling tiny crochet flower hair clips. I bought a couple and I really wanted to figure out how to make them myself so that I could make one to go with Grace's Easter dress. Here are some pictures of the pair I bought.
I had to add in a few extras because Grace was being such a good model for me! Haha!
Oh and this is not the Easter dress for those of you who haven't seen it.
Thankfully, I already know how to crochet because my Grandma taught me when I was about 10 years old. Thanks Grandma because if I hadn't already known the basics, this little project would've taken me forever! I was able to find a pattern that was exactly like the flower I had bought. You can click here to see it. And here is the one that I made. I haven't finished it all the way, but I was so proud of myself for making one and just had to show it off!
I'm going to make a ribbon bow and place this in the center to go with the dress. I also got some stuff from my home away from home (Hobby Lobby) to make a bracelet to go with the dress. Once I finish it you know I'll be showing it as well. Hopefully with the next post about this topic I can just show the whole outfit together with Miss Grace wearing it!
Grace seems like such a girlie-girl already with the way she prances around, I'm sure she won't mind me dressing her like one. Plus I have to while I've got the chance! Right?!
This is just one reason of why I love having a girl among many, many other reasons! We definitely are blessed!
