Pretty little dress

I am very lucky to have an adorable granddaughter who loves all things girly.  Having no idle hands means always making something. Though  even my granddaughter doesn’t need that many dresses.

Best reward of all, she loves what I make her and I get delicious hugs every time I see her. I’d say that is worth a few dresses.
