I liked it so much I decided to make one for my 3 yr old great-niece.
I love this pic of the two dresses together.
Annabelle's grandmother popped in for a visit and pronounced her dress "too short", Annabelle being quite tall for a 3 year old. So, I pulled off the white trim and lengthened the dress by adding a second band of solid colours at the bottom, and then I crocheted her a matching shopping bag with the left-over thread.
I finally made up my last five Christmas ornaments, which had been lurking around in my work basket for varying periods of time.
I have started a name sampler for my great-nephew Harvey ( a Christmas gift). I'm using a dinosaur alphabet by Claire Compton, but I am swapping some of the dinosaurs and changing some of the letter colours, to balance the colours and design.
And that brings me to the end of this month's GG report.

Hope you are feeling much better now. Your stitched pieces are lovely but I especially loved the beaded angels.AriadnefromGreece!
Oh goodness, what very lovely beaded angels, how clever to make so many and they will make perfect Christmas gifts. The two crochet dresses are perfect and I like how you have made one dress longer. thank goodness crochet is easy to undo and quick to redo.
A post full of loveliness.
Sending {{hugs}} to you, is must have been such a worrying time for you, I hope you are improving and all is well.
Hugs Elsie, I do hope everything is ok, take care
What beautiful crafts you have made, I love the dresses and bag, crochet is something I cannot do. Beautiful angels too.
Sorry to hear about your unexpected surgery, I hope all is well and you're feeling better.
You certainly know how to keep busy! The dresses are adorable, I bed they look adorable in them. Such wonderful stitching and the angels are precious.
Very lovely work. The dresses and angels are beautiful.
I hope you are feeling better after your surgery.
The crochet dresses are beautiful. I'm impressed that you have completed so many beaded angels.
Thanks for taking part in GG this month. Sorry to hear about the operations, hope it all went smoothly.
Love the crochet dresses, and how easy to add a few inches to the bottom!
The angels are beautiful and will make lovely stiocking fillers for your family. You do have a large extended family!
Beautiful crochet and the beaded angels are gorgeous.
Hope you are recovering well after your surgery
Hope the surgery recovery is going well! I'm sure the crafting is a great way to recuperate. :D How nice to have your ornaments all completed with time to spare. Does this mean a break to work on more non-Christmas items?
Crochet is so easy to change; much easier than knitting or crochet! The added matching purse is so cute too.
Wow, Elfie! You just kinda slipped a bombshell in there - surgery for two breast cancer lumps - yikes! I hope that you are recovering nicely and I think that the dresses are adorable and the angels - well, they are so very sweet! Look after yourself, my dear.
The dresses you made are just gorgeous!! Your nieces will love them I'm sure! I wish I could see your angels in person, they look absolutely lovely! You must have quite a few relatives to have made so many for them!! I, too, have had breast tumors removed. I'll add you to my daily prayers if you like, and hope for a speedy recover and for them to not return. *Hugs*
