Crafting On :: A Day Late

The darkness is coming with more speed these days, so when I find spare time, it's after supper and the light is nearly gone.  Oh, well. Here are the makings of the last week.  Everything is for Willow, because she needed various clothes and because she has a birthday coming.

Here's here Halloween costume.  She's planning to be Tiptoes Lightly this year, as she really enjoys the books.  The wings are from Sarah's Silks and I think they were a birthday gift to her when she turned three.  They're a little worn, but they are just right for this costume.  The dress has a peasant bodice with a very full skirt.  The sleeves have elastic at the wrists.  It's a simple design in blue flannel.

Here's a new nightgown made out of some very warm flannel (from Wal-Mart, of all places).  It's Simplicity 1569 again, with a pine tree button at the neck.  She'd already slept in it when I took this photo, as it got dark on us.  I'm really pleased with how it came out and now she's set for the colder months.

Lastly, another dress similar to her Halloween costume.  It's a tiny blue and white calico print, with a bit of red.  Very full and twirly, as you can see.  I imagine I'll have to make a similar one for Laurel, who really only ever wants to wear dresses. 

And lastly, the birthday sweater is nearly done.  I'm sure I'll finish it this weekend and cast on something for Roan.  It's time he and Laurel had a few things.   Well, we're off to the apple orchard soon, so I better tidy up.
