Regency Dress Take One

Here is my first regency dress. I love how it turned out! It didn't take long to make at all. I cut it out one day and sewed it the next.

I will soon post pictures of my next one and maybe my Civil War Toddler dress I made.

Pray, Pray, Pray

I have been thinking a lot lately and I realize how much we need to pray, pray for our country, our jobs, our familys, just about everything God knows everything but we do not. We need to pray for us not for Him. Praying about things helps me. When we are upset we should pray before we get mad we should pray and not get mad. God is there to help you, all you need to do is ask.

I just thought about this as I am going though a lot of different feelings about a lot of things.
I hope whoever reads this realizes I am not perfect but I know when I need something, Peace, Joy, Love for others. I go to my knees.

I don't know how many of you have watched the movie Fireproof but if you haven't you should. It came out last Tuesday, it is a story about a fireman whos motto is "never leave you partner behind" but while he is out fighting fires his marriage is falling apart. He thinks it is all his wife fault but is not. Please watch if you haven't.

The New year!

Happy new year everyone!

I hope everyone had a good Christmas, I did.

My niece Elisabeth Rose was born on the 28th of december. She is so precious!

Our party with our reenacting group is coming up and I am looking forward to it!

I am planning to start a civil war ball gown soon so if anybody has any tips I would appreciate it.

I am sorry I don't update this more aften but I am busy and I am not sure what to write.

Bye for now.

Christmas

Hi! I am not very good at this. I haven't written a while so I don't think very many of you will read this. Christmas is coming and I don't know about you but we are very busy. My brother in the army is coming home next week for two weeks!! My sister-in-laws baby is due in less than a month!
We have been getting in to the Christmas spirit, we got our tree last Saturday! It is beautiful if I say so myself. Christmas is a very special time of year, we always celebrate by going to my grandmas house on Christmas day and celebrate with our immediate family another day!
I am making Christmas presents and buying some of them of course. I am running out of time I still have to get a few.

Reenactments are done for the year but we have a party in January which I hope to wear the party dress I made!
My sister-in-law had a shower with our reenacting group and one of the ladies gave her a baby gown and another one gave her a size 12 mos. gown. They are beautiful! I hope that when I have a baby I get some beautiful baby gowns also.

Also do you know of any good books about mothering in the civil war.

Well, I am going to leave you now and hope to write before to long.

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!!!!

The end of July!

Here it is the end of July and I haven't been on here since May.

I am sorry I have been very busy. I finished my dress and showed it in fair. I got best of show with it. I am posting a few pictures of the bodice. I hope you like it! I really like it but I am not sure when I am going to wear it.

On other business, I am going to be an aunt my brother and his wife are expecting a baby
in January.

On reenacting are last one was July 18-20th at Charlton park. It was a nice one.
I hope you enjoy this.
Good-bye for now!

A sunny day in may!

As you can see I am not very good at getting on this and writing on it.
So, I thought I would write something today. It is a nice day kind of cool outside. I haven't worked on my dress very much lately, I have been very busy but hope to get a chance to work on it some this week. This morning my mom and I helped at a funeral lunchen. I went to a reenactment in Niles. The 17-18th that was a lot of fun.

Fabric

I got the fabric for my dress! Double pink stripe with little white diamonds. I started on my dress on Monday, I cut it out last week. It is turning out pretty good I got the bodice half way done. I am hoping to have it done by the end of the month. I miss the warm weather we had a week ago. That was one reason I have not been on here. Well I have other things to do.
