Graduation day with sunshine

A relative of ours graduated on Saturday and we went to congratulate her for getting her degree. S had one of her new Miranda dresses on with a white bolero, since the morning at home was slightly chilly. In the picture S has just spotted a squirrel at our front yard.

When we arrived at the place of celebration some 250 km North the sun was shining and it was very warm. We left out the bolero and put a white pinafore with the dress. I had made the pinafore using the bodice from the Miranda dress as a starting pattern and added the apron parts and some little ties at the sides. Finally I added some lace at the armholes and cute little ruffled pockets.

S was like a young calf. She took of her shoes to run barefoot and rolled in the fresh grass.

Now it is raining again but at least we got some sunshine!
