December Blooms

I found a sunflower outside my front door last week, in full bloom, in December.  It was so lovely! I had just finished this dress and cardigan combination for Penny (Ravelry link HERE). Both are a bit big for her now, but she'll be ready for them in Spring when the flowers are really blooming.


It's snowing here today! And it's freezing! And I might be having a baby in the next week! Certainly in the next two. I digress. The dress is from this pattern:



It's part of a large collection of "Viola's" (as you can see), thrifted in a large batch. I want to make so many of them but I have a feeling that finding the time will be as rare as finding a blooming sunflower, outside your door, in December.

Gorgeous little dress. I like the sweater too. Which pattern did you use for that? Best wishes for you and your growing family for the holiday season and the coming year.
