Back from vacation

Just got back from a vacation to Walt Disney World.  It was my first time there, and it was great.  Way too hot, though.

Needless to say, I was way too busy to crochet anything while we were away. (Plus, I had no room in my luggage for yarn!  *g*)  I think I'm a little more than halfway done with my projects for the Bella Bambina contest.  I can't wait to get all my stuff together to send.

I started a pair of crocheted baby shorts before I left for vacation, and I should be getting back to it tomorrow.  I'll post the whole outfit here when I finish up the shorts.

Another sweater dress

I'm not feeling well, so I'm not really crocheting as much as I'd like to.  I started this last night.  Bella Bambina posted a pattern for it yesterday.  It's called an Azalea Dress.  I thought it was so cute.  I thought I'd try my first one with Snuggly Wuggly in Pixie Prints.  I have another yarn with pink and purple in it, so I'll save that to make another dress.

I started another Sweater Dress over the weekend, but I can't work on that for too long, which is why I started this new one.  The yarn I'm using for the other dress is kind of thick for the hook, I think, because it makes my wrist ache after a row or two.  I can take my time with that one.

This current pattern is working up fairly quickly.  It's my ninth item for the charity contest.  I'm so excited that I'm keeping up my goals.  If I get done a little early, maybe I can crochet some pants for a few of the sweaters I made.  :D
