more raglan shirt and blocks

No matter how many I make, it is still satisfying to start with uncut fabric and come out three hours later with a completely finished shirt. It's like I'm hooked or something ;) I used the red and white flower fabric I bought the other day - it is pretty and simple and looks great. Esme likes her red shirt. I also lined the top of it with extra muslin, so it will be warmer. It makes the front look a little stiff sometimes, but that is well worth the difference.

This is in the entryway to our living room area where there is an entry closet, coats, assorted 'junk' (swimming stuff, outgoing mailbox, wire for the fence, dog toys, boxes of stuff from the flea market etc) and of course, 'Bones', our lab skeleton hanging there by the window. Esme wanted to play blocks here under the light tonight and even coaxed Daddy into playing with her.

Daddy built this huge tower, then asked her to add to it
She's not sure how!

I'm only THIS tall!



So Daddy picked her up :)



This is a 'choo choo train' of blocks, according to Esme


I'm really happy with this pattern now - except maybe adding another inch to the sleeve length for this year and maybe another inch to the skirt as well... she is growing so much!
