Watermelons are blooming!!

It was 77 degrees in our area of Texas yesterday and it is already 75 degrees at noon today. With all this warm weather, I really long for summer. But since school is still in session and we are months away from our real summer, I did the next best thing. I started dyeing Watermelon Dresses.
The colors just remind me of a refuge in a hot summer day. But more than that, these dresses get me excited for my summer craft shows. I really enjoyed doing crafts shows last year and these dresses were by far my best sellers. The project idea comes from dharma trading company, but I have added several of my own twists. All of the smaller sizes come with diaper pants that I dye with the same green as in the dress. With a little practice, I have developed a technique with an accordian fold to create the look of a watermelon. I also developed the look in an adult t-shirt and a tank top set. I am always a little sad when I sell these dresses, but I know they are going to good homes.
