bird dress.

Easter was equal parts fun and trauma. The fun included T's first egg hunt, a nice walk to one of our favorite bakeries, and visits with friends and family. The trauma was brought on by a skinned knee on the way to the car to see said family. The skin knee brought on wailing, vomiting and other forms of discomposure. Somehow my dress stayed clean, but by the time we made it to Easter dinner, T. was on her third.

She must have been extremely exhausted by it all because she took her first nap for me in about 3 or 4 months today, a real nap at home that last over 2.5 hours. She woke up chirping like the little birds on the new dress I had time to make her during my extended respite.

The bird detail is hard to see, but the pattern is this.
