Relaxing Day

The girls got back yesterday from their dad's house.  I'd recorded a movie and me and the girls sat down and watched it.  It's nice to sit and relax with the kids and watch a movie together. 

Report cards came home.  I'm so proud of my kids!  They all made the A/B honor roll.  Even LJ got all As and Bs.  I think I'll have to treat them for their hard work. 

Today I started knitting a new pattern for a baby dress.  I've looked all over Ravelry for days for a baby dress pattern and somehow managed to not see this one.  I'm so glad that I found it!  I was wanting to alter a pullover sweater pattern to a dress so I was looking for some inspiration when I found it.  I cast on at 9pm tonight when I sat down to watch the season premier of The Foster's and worked on a few hours.  I'm working my way down the skirt of it now.  Super easy and going very quickly.  I'm going to do another one and not make the button placket quite as long...joining the back sooner.  I plan to add a ruffle at the bottom in gray and then knitting a diaper cover in gray to go with the dress.  I'm glad I'm not afraid of trying new things in knitting anymore.  A year ago, I wouldn't have tried this pattern. 

The back

The front 

It's hard to tell but the yarn is a light yellow color. 

Edit to show the finished dress. 

I really wanted a gray button for the back but I didn't have one on hand so I went with this cute little flower button. It's a little too big for the hole so I may run by B&B cloth shop for a button next time I'm in Augusta.
