beauteous, I have decided to take my
hand stitching outdoors.........
A new dress for my eldest daughter............... 
she had chosen everything, the blue and white silky fabric, and even right down to the vintage bone buttons.....and soft lace.......

and today, I am sewing on the buttons and securing the lace around her neckline and puffy sleeves....yes! she's 10 and wants puff! how can I be more thrilled?
Anne Marie's tip for the day: don't start something you can't finish
~have a most wonderful day~
Can't wait to see the finished product...on your beautiful model, of course!

I am so envious of your sewing ability. I need to break down and take a class or something.
ReplyDeleteLOVELY tissue! (fabric)
Looking forward to seeing the finished dress modeled by your daughter!
ReplyDeleteOh how I wish I had learned to sew,my Mom was amazing,everything she made for my sisters and I she would make a matching doll outfit,we were the envy of all the rich girls who had store bought clothes let me tell you!! Glad you came by,yes that is what they call our little houses,they really are lovely...just wish they were a wee bit bigger!! Talk to you soon...off to work,oh joy!!!
ReplyDeletei don't know how you do it all! you must be a bundle of energy! lovely colors, be sure to show us the end result.
ReplyDeletesounds like a wonderful day..i used to smock my daughters dresses and make quilts...don't sew as much these days. i loved your post yesterday too. what a lovely prairie walk (and video)you shared. beautiful! peaceful, easy feeling. all the best.
ReplyDelete71... how perfect for sewing outside! I can't wait to see the finished dress :)
ReplyDeleteDon't start something you can't finish? HA...I need that saying in every room of the house. My daughter says I have creative overload. Too many ideas. Love the dress I is so girly and sweet!
ReplyDeleteGod love ya,
ReplyDeleteIf I had time to sew, let alone handstitch something....My kids need a farm to live on too. They have a lot of energy in a limited space. I read your blog all of the time, I just don't comment each and every time. I thoroughly enjoy reading it and love the pictures as well. You have painted a lovely picture of your farm through your words and talent.
Looks like good taste runs in the family!
ReplyDeleteOh I can't wait to see it. It makes me think of Anne of Green Gables and her blue dress with puffed sleeves from Matthew Cuthbert ;)
ReplyDeleteWell... you gotta post pics of it when you are done Missy!!! Love the Prarie Walk pics! Blessings, Janna
ReplyDeleteI simply love doing things outdoors such as sewing, crochet or reading (English weather permitting!) It feels so relaxing. I look forward to seeing the finished dress. Good quote for the day! I do that all too often...

I can almost hear you humming old hymns while you rock and stitch.
ReplyDeleteyou always inspire
it's that beautiful here in the Fox Valley, too
Your photography always amazes me. I would never have thought to put greenery in that photo but it adds so much!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet dress for a sweet girl!
