The other night I had the most wonderful dream i've had in a while. I dreamt of "My Little Firecracker" who is my boyfriends grandmother connie. I named her my little firecracker because every time i would see her she was so full of energy and life, always happy. Connie would remind me of a little firecracker jumping around, it was always so cute. =) In my dream she was so happy and smiling just as i remember her. It felt great to see her and give her the biggest hug I could give her. The best part is it felt so real. So yesterday when I came home I pulled out my singer sewing machine and the dress that I started to make with connie. We started that dress but sadly were never able to finish it. On the night she died I made a promise to myself to finish the dress we started together. Since that night I really hadn't touched my sewing machine, so yesterday after having such a wonderful dream I felt it was a good time to finish what we had started. I worked for hours trying to remember everything Connie has taught me, and this was as far as I got before i went to bed

This is the top of the dress.
I know I should have waited till everything was done but i couldn't. I was very surprised that I was able to even get this far. It may not look like much now but I promise when I'm done it will look like a dress. =) I hope! =)
