Today I spent most of the day at the sewing machine.  I got a lace band made, the hem of the skirt done, and the lace and tuck strip for the yoke.  Tomorrow I will construct the bodice (back and front), the placket, and put sleeves in.  That should leave me with the tuck bands for the skirt and probably a couple of lace insertions, then buttons and the dress will be done.  I still have the slip and bonnet to do...but so far so good.  This has been easier than Heidi's and I don't really know why, unless it is because I wanted something unique for Heidi and I had already done a dress for Abby and Ellie so I didn't want it to resemble either of theirs.

I've been singing,
       "There was a little house in the middle of the woods.
         A little old man by the window stood.
         Saw a rabbit hopping by,
         Knocking at the door.

         "Help me! Help me! Help me!" He cried
         Or the hunter will shoot me dead
         "Come little rabbit, come with me!
         "Happy we will be!"

Noah loves it and tries to do the actions with me.  He loves it so much that whenever I sing it to him he begs for the "bunny song" again and again.  I bet I could sing it 30 times in a row and he'd still ask for it! Lol!
