  I still have a few things to do to the dress. I have some work to do on the buttonholes. I need to reinforce each button. Put a hem in both layers of fabric at the bottom. Add a belt and bow with some bling. I'm not sure yet but I was considering embroidering vintage piglet and pooh at the bottom on the left side.   Follow Link: To See More About This Dress

Did I Meet My Goal For Today? Well, I didn't meet the goal of having this Valentine Afghan finished today. I will have it done "Lord Willing" this coming Monday. I've been working on this Afghan since February 1st, 2020. I put a big pink button on 6 hearts. I was able to sew on 2 of the hearts. My plans changed for today but I will continue to post on this page as I complete this project. Multi-Purpose Valentines Blanket or Breast Cancer Awareness I finished sewing on the hearts This morning. With a size P needle, I chained 26 and tied a bow around the buttons. I'm doing all 6 that way. It is cushy, comfy, happy and heavy. Please look at the past three posts. To see about this afghan.

How To Make The Fringe Be sure to count the number of loops on the first side and have them equal the number of loops you put on the other side.  Make sure your loops equal out on both sides of each side. Evenly Spread Across 4 - corners are bright pink - 15 loops each - two loops are tied in the front to form a bow. 2 small rows edges are light pink - 30 loops each. 2 small rows edges are white - 60 loops in each 2 large white edges - 90 loops each 1 large middle section of bright pink - 90 loops On Both Sides P/16 Crochet Hook In the picture above is the edge of my blanket. If the edge is white the fringe is to be white. If the edge is pink then the fringe is to be pink. Along the edge, there are holes sometimes they  are bigger and sometimes they are smaller. Every hole on the edge will be filled with loops.  Sometimes only two loops fit  and sometimes five.  Fit in as many as you can. But do it evenly across....
