a beautiful girl in a beautiful dress . . .

And, after all those moaning and groaning, here she is . . . she borrowed a dress from a friend in PBnJ and we knit the shrug {yarn from http://www.knittingtoday.com/, of course} to cover her bare shoulders. Hair was done by Shari from the Magic Wand in Orland, Indiana.




P.S. Do you notice the wonderful oak mantel in the background??? Isn't that an improvement over the gaping hole?
ETA: 1/8/07 - temperatures of around 60 degrees and massive amounts of rain have resulted in flooding in our basement [again!].
