I know it's been a long time....

I know you haven't heard from A Crafty House in a long time.  We took a much needed break from the blogging world to enjoy spring and summer, venturing to the beach and pool, meeting new friends at camp, and traveling to Colorado and Ohio.  I can't wait to share more about what we've been up to.  In the meantime, I wanted to show you all a little something I've been working on this summer -- the perfect little girl dress.  While I took a little vacation from blogging, I haven't taken a vacation from knitting and crocheting.  I'm working on sizing and finalizing the pattern, but I wanted to share some pictures that we took today.  M hasn't forgotten how to model the clothing as you can tell.  She ran around in the dress all afternoon and loved it.  It's an easy top down raglan that flares just above the waist, creating a simple but perfect dress for your own little girl.
