a dress and a dork

the dress. i made this several weeks ago but keep forgetting to get chip to take a picture. this is the same pattern i've used before, simplicity 4589, with some adjustments (lengthening the shirt to a dress, lenghtening the sleeves, and tweaking the collar part. the results of the pattern without said tweaking are not great). and eve wanted to join in the early morning photo shoot. . . what picture isn't better for having her in it?

and here we have the dork. today chip e-mailed these to me along with a note saying, ". . .me at work the other day. i just want you to be thankful for the long hours i spend toiling here at the office." oh, chip. you have no idea how thankful i am. mostly because i have another reason to make fun of you and another forum in which to do so.
