Woah.

She's not mine but my life has already changed forever. I'm in love.

Lucy Olive Jones

She's finally here! Little (big) Lucy was born on Friday, June 4. She weighs 9 pounds 8 ounces and is 21.5 inches long!

We are in love already and I'm currently in the car with the new grandmother and grandfather about to arrive at the hospital in Charlotte to meet her. More pictures to come!

Mom and baby are doing great!

a dress for lucy

My sister is due with her first born any day now...  Saturday, May 30, to be exact. I have so many more posts to go back and update. But I wanted to post a sneak peek into what little Lucy will be wearing home from the hospital. I finished my first bishop dress and started working on this one, creating it from start to finish. You're looking at over 14 hours total time into this little dress. Can't wait to see her in it!

This will also be the reason why I am so behind on blogging... making sure that this dress was finished before she decides to make her entrance into the world.

Birthday Present

Birthday money got me this. I am so excited! Let the smocking continue!!

Here is the progress on my bishop dress:



I had class last night to get started on this. Woah. This is definitely going to teach me a lot more about patience. But I am so excited about finally getting to learn. I've been waiting to learn how to smock for years. I have a lot of hours ahead of me before this dress will be completed. I'll keep you posted.
