My new cousin Preslie's purple dress

I have finally finished the dress that I have been working on for months. I have been making this while finishing my last two semesters of graduate school. Whenever my thesis got to be too much to handle I would take this out and do a row. It takes about an hour to complete a row so overall I would say this project took me over 35 hours. I love making these dresses because the babies look so cute in them but they are a lot of work for someone so little. I know that both she and her mom, Christine, will enjoy it.

Christine is actually my mom's cousin. So I think that makes Preslie my second cousin. No matter. She is family and that is all that counts.
