The baby dress continues

Got a bit more done on the baby dress yesterday.  It's coming along nicely:

 

The colors are lovely (a light, creamy pale yellow and a medium dusty blue) and the yarn is quite soft.

What's new? Ravelympics, of course!

I've been working pretty steadily on my projects for Ravelympics!  For those who are not in the know: ravelry.com sets up olympic-style events and folks can compete in lots of different events.  Unlike the real Olympics, everyone who finishes get a medal (my kind of competition).  I have 5 projects I'm hoping to complete:

• Finish the 2nd of 2 mitts I started just after Christmas.  I finished these on February 14th and put them in the mail for my niece:

(my medal in WIPs (Work-In-Progress) Dancing)

• Finish my corset-t that I started 2-1/2 years ago:

• Start and finish a dress for a friends new baby:

 

  

• The baby's name is Hannah, so I want to make a stuffed banana for her, and
• Make a travelling woman shawl from some beautiful yarn my DH bought me for Christmas this year

I'll post my progress and and accomplishments here

Other news:  The chicken saga continues.  Looks like I won't be getting eggs, but chicks (which is fine with me!)  Now to find the "perfect" chicken coop design.
