I went into Spotlight this morning after Mainly Music with 25 little 0-5 year olds!!!! Felt like some retail therapy after that! Anyway, I bought a gorgeous selection of red fabrics! So I've made a little dress for the Ugandan Orphans - I made this one longer so maybe a 4 year old could wear this, and I also made another pink one too! Love and blessings Chris

Thanks Lidia, I just love the combination of reds in this little dress! I decided to put a bright green ribbon through the top as there is a lovely green in the patchwork fabric. Love Chris

Oh Chris - how funny ..... When I read this, I thought that you went to Spotlight accompanied by 25 little 0-5 year olds. I wondered why you would take such a large group of little children to Spotlight!! Anyway - the dress is lovely. Do you use satin ribbon as the ties? If so, what width ribbon do you use? Coral

Thanks Coral - at least you knew what I meant! This one wasn't but normally yes I do use satin, about half an inch wide or 1 to 1.5cm love Chris

You were brave to chaperon the little ones. They are full of energy. The little red dress is pretty.

Ha ha ha! No I didn't take 25 children - from 6months to 4 year olds in to town with me, I gave you the wrong impression. Love Chris

lol Went back and reread what you said and now I feel a little silly that so many of us misinterpreted what you meant.
